Many Of You Boys All CB'd up~??

[Hawaii]

got a cheapie 40 band Midland in mine.

Once I installed it and tried it I couldn't beleive the amount of obsenity & general rubbish on the airwaves

only really use it when off roadin' as a couple of the pay & play sites we use can't get a mobile phone signal

only paid £40.00 for the whole lot (unit, mounting cage, antenna & cable) from fleabay - just changed the whip for a thunderpole (looks better)

You cant use the handheld ones from inside the motor without them being connected to an external antenna

I have a nice sideband rig in mine. Shame is noone is using the damn things any more. I remeber when it used to be hard to find a clear channel now they're all clear

Oh yes, you have to know a 'firestick' when you see one.

[Fey!]

I have a CB and a 2-way wired in, with permanent aeriel fixings on the roof. I got a spare glovebox, so the 2 radios are attached to the spare box so that they can be taken in and out easily.

The PA function on the CB is excellent, and the 2-way is used for rallys and other similar events.

Firestick, sidewinder, Antron99, silver rod, blue rod, thunderpole..great stuff.

CB's are essential if you get out once, twice a month I'd say. Just to be 'networked' into the group is a whole new ball game.

The baby midlands are ideal for the surf as you can fit them where the ashtray lives for a nice & tidy install. If you take your time it almost looks stock.

Get hold of Tobyjug..he's radio guru

[POPEYE]

I had a cheapo one in for years, never once heard a thing on it, it's now out but still trying to decide wether or not to stick it back in, remember back then tho as said ya couldn't fine a clear channel

[Paul1566]

Ya know the usual channel is 19 for finding someone to yak with....
well why don't you all set to say 30 and use that as your own surf
home channel.....
Use a keyword like "bluestar" to identify that you visit here and chat
away to other cb'ers from on here when your sat in the easter
tailbacks ...............

The other day I was waiting in the truck and turned mine on just to see if I could hear anything...

I was in Henley, and could hear a guy in Maidenhead and a guy in Camberly...

I was pretty impressed with the range!

I do live at the top of a hill though!

[VidaMusic]

what kind of range are we talking then for CB's with antenna's?

I found some walkie-talkie ones on ebay, £70 for a pack of 6 handsets, says they have a 7km range. Anygood?
