Good afternoon all! Question: All thing being equal, and hypothetically of course; for general use CB (short range), longer distance communication (25+ miles) and 'skip', is a higher powered radio (export or mod) or a linear amplifier generally preferred? Or both? Again assuming the same mic...

Back In The Day, when XM numbers were a thing, I knew all the channels. No more. When we back moved up last summer, I had the scanner in the car set to listen to channel 19 because, as we knew back in the day, this is where all the truckers were. Yeah, no. I don't think squelch broke more than...

I recently got a CB radio, but I haven’t figured out how to get the SWR down. The President Taylor radio I’m using has a built in SWR meter, & it says it’s absurdly high. However, when I hold my hand out the window & hold about 2/3 up the antenna, the SWR goes to 1.2. What’s happening?

Does anyone still use CB around the Raleigh area? What channels are you mostly on? What times are you usually on? And what CB radio are you using ? I have recently acquired a Radio Shack TRC-241 and usually am on channels 6, 14, and 19 and I'm on through out the day but I'm especially active...

I was wondering if someone could explain the specific differences betwen ANL and NB? I've read several places that NB will block the sharp spikes of noise, but i've also seen the same said about ANL. So what specifically does each do? and what side to they operate on: the power or antenna or...

Just a curious question to all who are interested in discussing. How many think its time for the FCC to change some of the rules on CB radio, and allow companies to start adding some modern features to 11 meters. Currently I use CB radio still, my wife, and brother use them for personal use...
