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. Also I am licensed GMRS (WQYB343). Myself, and brother use GMRS quite a bit, and where talking about some of the features that we can use on GMRS, such as CTCSS, DCS, and FM as carrier. These are some features we where discussing that would actually benefit 11 Meters. Granted I know some say CB is a wasteland, and what not, while I do agree alot of what you hear on CB is garbage, and we all know there are more illegal operators on 11 than there are legal. Me I prefer to stay legal, with 4 watts, and use type accepted radios, because personally I don't want to risk my GMRS license. However if some of these features where allowed it would let those who use 11 Meters legal some relief from others on the Band operating illiegally. Here is my wishlist for 11 meters.
1. FM/AM carrier, and more companies start adding USB, LSB to there radios.
2. DCS, and CTCSS
3. Keep 4 watts, we don't need more power, a proper antenna setup, and a solid radio works just fine.
4. Remote Head radios, to bring in line with Modern vehicles space restrictions. Something I really wish companies would start doing. Australia has them in UHF.
Note: I don't have my ham, please refrain from saying get your ham, which I plan on doing at some point down the road. This thread intended to be a discussion about 11 meters.
