thats true!

How can I connect my Laptop to these radios?

Ah my friend, that is not possible with CB radios today. I am unaware of this method for CB radios.

As for HAM radios, this is possible. Icom, Yeasu, etc.

You are correct, CB radio's are 10 years behind in technology.

However, there are some CB radios with replaceable IC chips. Thus, you can program the chips via computer and swap into the radio PCB chip socket. Some CB 11-meter, Ham 10-meter, 12-meter and 17-meter chips exist to modify the radio to a certain band. The company(ies) also provide the software.
So, one day you are regular CB user. In the future you get a HAM license. Why purchase another radio? Just upgrade new IC chip in the radio.

In reality, those who played on handheld CBs or mobile CBs tend to drift into the HAM realm over time.

This thread tends to be for CB solutions to your questions. The above HAM info is just a bonus to your question.

I do both CB and HAM. I have neighbors that use CB. Thus, I can talk easy with them. I have HAMS in my area and can talk with them on 2-meters simplex or repeaters. Both bands I enjoy. It's all about communication with others.

Enjoy your CB communications. That is where your fun beings.

You don't. Cbs are designed with basic communications with amplitude modulation. That's it, no data, no programming, no other modes. IF you get your Amateur radio license then that can change. :wink: 73, n9zas

There is a third-party method for computer direct control of a CB.

CB-Computer Interface Project

I have not found any others at this time.

The same problem the OP has now with not being able to route an antenna cable would preclude this solution as well, since a cable from the DB-25 would have to be routed up to the attic to attach to the radio.

What he would need is a "wireless" solution, which honestly I believe would be far too complex and expensive to be practical...

Dedicated computer in the attic connected via wifi with Remote Desktop Connection?

Ah my friend, that is not possible with CB radios today.

Tell me my friend how does the people do now Packet, ROS, APRS over CB?
I know the do it!

In the future you get a HAM license.

no i dont want to.

with amplitude modulation.

AM, FM and SSB!!!

Dedicated computer in the attic connected via wifi with Remote Desktop Connection?

There is an LAN Network

IF they do APRS and digital data over 11 meters have you asked them how THEY do it? Here those are not modes that are used, as they are not legal here in the U.S. ASK your ops how they manage that? :wink: 73, n9zas

Any computer soundcard digital mode can easily be done on any radio with sideband....

That is what i want to do but HOW TO Connect the Pc with an Radio?!
I search on ebay for an Plug but I cant find any.

you asked them how THEY do it?

I got no answer for.

as they are not legal here in the U.S

the usa dont care what is legal in other country so?

And i search also for an CB Radio.

 

[gewecke]

There has to be a physical connection to the radio for a Tnc. Cbs do not typically transmit data, its not quite that simple. At least a 3600 baud rate terminal node controller would be needed. :roll: 73, n9zas

So tell me how does the people do ROS over CB?

. Well you NEED answers from them, because its not something we do here. I guess you're on your own since you don't accept our other suggestions. . 73, n9zas

Amateur Radio 10-meter radios are capable to do. The 10-meter radio is modified for 11-meters to do. Check your local and country legal requirements. Here in the USA and Canada, we can not do.

Many 10-meter radios have RJ-45 input socket for packet radio and/or audio microphone. This way computer and radio become 1-unit.

You need an audio/PTT interface to send and receive data over a radio using a PC.

Then perhaps you should have been more forthcoming in your original post. A LAN connection is MOST DEFINITELY a physical connection

There is no Physical Connection between me and the Attic where the Radio should be.

(emphasis added by me)

My answer was to the poster that stated you would be in the same predicament by having to run the DB-25 cable.

The same problem the OP has now with not being able to route an antenna cable would preclude this solution as well, since a cable from the DB-25 would have to be routed up to the attic to attach to the radio.

This is the second thread that I have offered support to you. You offer very little to go on, and then get snippy when people don't give the answers you are looking for. You do realize that you are posting to a bulletin board that is run by a company in the US and is predominantly visited by members from North America, yet you expect everyone to be an expert on Austrian rules and regulations. I would suggest finding a board in countries where modes other than AM are allowed for CB, those people will have more knowledge and probably be much better versed in how you can meet your needs.

And another one goes on the ignore list.....
