Fitted a new CB today and have decided

1. It's not working

2. No one else in the St Albans area has a CB

3. No one wants to talk to me

yea that is CB only works reliably for a mile or so many times if that but good for laneing with your buddies, Rick

Item 2 is your most likely solution

my assumption above assumes that you have correctly connected an aerial and power ( and switched it on lol )

get as high as you can up a mountain then try.

So that's what the driver of the Frontera was doing..... testing his cb. :augie
If he had told the authorities that he may have got off with a caution. :doh

A couple of months ago I drove down to Oxford with my old cb radio lashed up, I thought mine was broken but once and only once, I got a response to:

" 19 for a Roger"

"Roger bud" came the reply.


If you tried that call on the internet you would have had a different response, I'm sure.....

So I think the CB is dead, bring back the licence, then everyone will use theirs illegally. :thumb2

or ...... take your foundation amatuer radio exam :naughty
