Re: CB Channel Consensus
Hey Mike,
was just out in QC doing some camping/wheeling on some logging roads and
they had a sign stating they used ch.10. No problem....but talking to a
local, apparently they use FM and not AM or SSB CB's.
What are you running?
I cheaped out on mine and ended up with something 3times the size of one of
the newer ones with the bells and whistles!

Re: CB Channel Consensus
I am running an old Cobra 21channel that was, ummm 'built' for a tower
base station. I am in Toronto and have had clear 2 way to Marthas
Vinyard on the Atlantic coast.
I also pick up a CB base station on British Columbia's Sunshine coast
when I am up on the Canadian Shield in Central Ontario on a regular
basis.
The old 'clunker' CB's are the best.....
FM is a private transmitter base station used by companies with units
out in the field. Most truckers also run CB.
I would for sure switch to ch 10 and check if I was running in that
bush.

Re: CB Channel Consensus
The GMRS/FRS radios offer a clearer signal and less static and NO skip than
CB.
CB has been popular for 30+ years now (and been around long before that) and
everyone is familiar with it. If the CB'ers were to try GMRS/FRS they would
be amazed at the difference.
But what it really comes down to is what is everyone else using? If you
have both bring both.
I have access to both and foolishly brought neither last time.

CB.
CB has been popular for 30+ years now (and been around long before that) and
everyone is familiar with it. If the CB'ers were to try GMRS/FRS they would
be amazed at the difference.
But what it really comes down to is what is everyone else using? If you
have both bring both.
I have access to both and foolishly brought neither last time.

Re: CB Channel Consensus
The GMRS/FRS radios offer a clearer signal and less static and NO skip than
CB.
