I am about to get my Paj (this weekend fingers crossed!) and always have been interested in CB comms etc. I just wanted to know what people thought the best bits were about having a CB rig and is it a good social thing?

Sorry if thats a bit vague I just wanted to know what attracts people to CB!? Very Happy

its great when you go laning, or in a convoy with other pocukkers.

other than that its full of foul mouthed truckers. i turn it off most of the time.

Ive had a few rigs over the years used mainly in the trucks i was driving they can be quite a good aid in the haulage industry, but the one i have now is purely for club meets, its never in unless we are going to a meet.

nikaso The answer to your question is ..The antenna....Looks the business and you don't have to turn the set on, to look good, so you can avoid the swearing Smile

I think most of the swearing that happens on 19 is usually by home base kids/teenagers with nothing better to do, unless it's to play music. That's what killed the home base channel 14 and channel 9 and is killing 19.

Most truckers either use their own net if they're in convoy, ANC use 13 for instance, or 35 which gets quite busy, especially at night with the night trunks but even that gets abused when you get near a place like Birmingham, some of the home bases there use so much power you can't even squelch them out.

Wouldn't hurt if it was policed a bit better but that will never happen. Sad

well unless my cb numbers have gone awry and 19 year olds have very deep voices - i respectfully disagree

I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I don't think you can put it all down to truck drivers just because it's on the CB.
