cb radio users ? - pistolpete - 30-12-2011
who uses cbs on here ? was talking about it a little on another thread but didnt want to clog it up so thought i would start this one ... seems a few people want to use them but arent sure how easy they are. If anyone else has pics of their ariels or rigs in/on the car then that would be great.

you can get smaller ariels, about a foot long, which have about a 3 mile range i believe. The shorter ones would still be ideal for convoys ect. And they are legal, unlike talking on the phone.

Why not just use walkie talkies? What me and my mates do when going on long trips in convoy, they have around a 1.5 mile range
Re: cb radio users ? - lewisdmz - 30-12-2011
so you use these to hook up with other doggers?

roughly 10 miles when you are moving, but when stationary it can be a bit more

so would cost more for the mount. the speaker, and the antenna
and then the meter to set it up

power is taken from the back of the cig lighter
the coax is run under the centre console to the back where it comes up behind the seats it needs a longer coax as the estate is quite long
Re: cb radio users ? - Dum-Dum - 30-12-2011
Are the hand held CBs any good? I know they have a shorter range but are they really that flawed?
Re: cb radio users ? - TheGateKeeper - 30-12-2011
I have a Midlands rig in mine. With a 5ft whip
. Runs off my headunit. Was considering selling up, as the person I used to use it with I no longer speak to...

Re: cb radio users ? - Dum-Dum - 30-12-2011
^^^ The hand held i was looking at had a 1ft ariel and a car charger (with a coax output if you wanted a longer ariel) and was about £100 on ebay brand new.
Might have to get one of these
Re: cb radio users ? - darrenjlobb - 30-12-2011
