I'm still workin on the lingo but the handle was simple ( i wont share ). If you are really serious about keeping connected with folks you need a 10 or 12 meter shortwave modded. If you get your radio from Truckers CB & 10 Meter Radios they will send you the stuff to tweak it out for free. Step 1: Get a Ranger Communications shortwave from them. Step 2: After you have placed your order email them and ask to have the mod stuff mailed to you.

They won't get there on the same day because they won't ship them out together. Not sure why. There's my 2 cents for the day.

whenever youre in southeastern Connecticut and see a green 94 f150, gimme a holler on c CB channel 19. im the connecticuts gentleman. ill also answer to big B.

 

hey im from westby bout 30 miles from lax
i go by leadfoot, i see someone else uses that too but no1 round here does. im usually on 28 or 26

 

if ur ever in northwest iowa and c a 99 red f-150 give me a hollar on 4 or 19 my handle is breaker bar the cb always on just give me a hollar

 

yea stay away from "good buddy" and just know all you 10 commands. dont use the rubber ducky handle or any handles from the bandit. and always, always, always have the radio on cause its of no use to you or anyone else chattin if you got urs off.

 

isn't it county mounty?

 

I bought a cobra CB but i debateing on weather to install it or sell it. I live in east texas. I just dont know anything about em.

 

Which model?

 

wow, i thought CB radio talkin was a lost art!

of course, i started out watching smokey and the bandit, and happened to enjoy the songs jerry reed would sing, so it was just kind of fitting to be The SnowMan lol. that's my name of choice of course, but sometimes it's a good idea to have another one in the bank in case someone is looking for u for the wrong reasons...

 

wow....and here I thought that "Good Buddy" was a frendly term...althoug I guess it might be frendly if your a bi, gay, or something of the sort..........
Anyway seeing as how we are all sharing stuff, if y'all ever in the Willimette Valley of Oregon around the Albany area then see if you can throw your signal out to me on channel 8 or 17.

By the way how do you get rid of engine interfearence? I have my CB wired up to by fuse box just like the instrections said to and I have a whole crud load of interfearence. To say 3 out'a 5 bars of it!!!! That and I can't throw my signal out very far...seeing as how I'm bare foot dosn't help much either.....and just were would I get a amp for my cb anyways? Thanks your local yokle of Oregon.

 

hayden, rewire the CB with a power lead going directly to the battery, then hook the ground wires up to the battery, a chasis ground, and a frame ground if you can get one. Then ground your antenna mount to at least once on the frame, but multiple frame and cab grounds are even better.

you don't need a linear amp to get enough power to be heard, just get your box turned up, my cobra 25 puts out 30 on its own. for a liner, you'll be looking at 250-350 watts, and you'll need a better antenna to go with it.

 

In southwest WA near kelso im cip smithers, cip for short and im usually on 8 or 12. But around here no one has a cb and if they do, its never on

 

Word CIP!!!! same here! That how it be around here too. Cbs are the **** in a good way o'course. Y'all wanna know sumthing funny? I recentily put a bench seat in my girl and I had my trusty CB mounted to my canter consel and sence I put in my other seat I had to mount my BC in my roof and now I dun get better reception with less interference from my beasty engine!! is that cuz it a better ground or what? I think taht it a better gound. O'course it just me though. Whata yall think?

 

I used to have a CB licsense back in the 70s. Today ive keyed up the radio a few times and heard nothing but rude people who dont know how to talk properly on the airwaves.
