I am no stranger to CB radio, and I remember the first time I ever "played" with a CB radio, I will never forget it, and although I am only 28, I think I was about 15 when I first learned what CB was. My dad used to have one in his truck when he pulled Goose neck RVs for people for a living, it...

Hello all. I am going to get my HAM Technician license in September. I have thought of getting an old CB radio base station to play with for a while. Do any of you folks use CB in the Cabarrus area? I don't want to invest in equipment if there is no one to talk to. Thank you for your answers.

Anyone that has the YAESU FT-817ND, do you know it can transmit on 11M CB?

Not sure if my previous post was removed or was not approved by the mods to begin with, so my apologies if you're reading this twice.. I'm a new user, not a spambot, I promise! Anyway, my original question was regarding a continuously open mic on CB channel 19 (27.1850 MHz) near my residence...

So I recently put in a Cobra 29 LTD Classic CB in my pickup. I mounted a Firestick antenna as well. I calibrated it using a SWR meter. It was at one and a half. When I click on the mic, it says that the signal is going out, but I can not be heard. When I am heard, it sounds very distance and...

Hi, I was wondering if I could effectively use a CB radio with a G5RV? I happen to have a G5RV for my Icom 718, and since it covers both the 10 and 12 meter bands, I figured I could use it on 11 meters. I was also wondering if there were any FCC regulations prohibiting such uses. Thanks.:cool:
