I've got a CB in my truck, and (after a new mic) it works again.

I need some help finding a handel, and more importaintly, learning the lingo.

Can anybody help me? Tks alot

Don't think there's anty special lingo except for "10-4", which means over and out I believe. Good handle? Rubber Ducky heh heh.

 

No, "10-4" or "4-10" means "affermative" or simply "yes".

Pick a handle that best suits yourself, kind of like the handles people use on FTE! On sideband, pick a number for yourself because when talking on sideband users have number-handels rather then name-handels.

"Seventy-thirds" or "seventy-threes" means "best wishes and/or take care"

"10-20" or "whats your 20?" is "location" and "whats your location?"

If you use sideband, like I do, and you want to "break" into the conversation, instead of saying "break", or "breaker" like you would on AM, you say "station" instead. As in, "there is a station out there trying to break in. Go ahead station". Another sideband trick to let people know you want to have a conversation is to call out "station", and if you get a response or not, call out "CQ" As in "CQ, CQ, station 445 trying and standing by".

I know all of them. and all the "Q" codes. Let me know if you want more. CB/HAM radio is a underrated hobby, IMO. What type of radio and antenna do you have?

Just whatever you do, NEVER EVER call anybody a "good buddy". Thoes be some fightin' words.

 

This should start ya off

soundwave thanks for the pointout....you can tell i dont have a cb in my truck!!

 

dude, you have to watch "smokey & the bandit" for C.B. schooling

 

the best way to learn is to listen, different regions use different lingo
also try not to overuse slang as it makes it difficult to understand for others

 

I have watched "smokey and the bandit" numerous of times and still like to listen to there CB lingo,

 

why dont you call yourself spud? i remember you having a post about spud guns, and i agree with every one else watch smokey and the bandit, great movie ohh and what channel are you on????

back in the day i waz hootowl or 1167

 

Once i start talkin on mine, my handle is gona be "candycane" lmao.

 

yeah the last two days of school this year in the Tech center (diesel tech) we watched all of the Smokey and the Bandit movies and also Black Dog (which is a great trucker movie). i love their lingo it's great.

also the "good buddy" there sound wave, here look what the link that jake00 posted:

Good Buddy----Now Used As A Term For A Homosexual

 

Thats why I said dont call anyone a "good buddy". Chances are you'll get a beating if you ever come face to face with someone that you've called a "good buddy".

 

you got to watch joy ride for tips on what not to do on a radio. Me and my brother tried to copy it but the trucker knew what it was from and laughed. We allways travle well armed though.

Mine is Sugardaddy, its been that way since the first time I drove with my dad in his truck as a little boy. I would talk on the CB to other truckers, even though I could barely understand them through their really deep truckin accents. My favorite candy at the time was Sugardaddy, hence the name.

I learned all the lingo, Smokey Bear, Polar bear (undercover), Parking Lots, Skateboards, City Kitty, Local Yocal, county bounty, pumpkin head, reefer, 'just coolin the brakes'....etc all that crap

truckers get pretty dirty on their...
