Used to have one when i was a kid - loved it. It was on am frequency. Want one for my Disco - am or fm? does anyone actually use them anymore? Are the kits where you get rig ,swr, aerial etc any good.
I would love to get back into it if there are plenty of people using them.
Look forward to any replies with baited breath!!!!

Regards

Thunderstone comes well recomended.

most green laners have CB to keep in touch.

Big G · Feb 6, 2008

Thanks - does am or fm have more users do you konw? Not sure even if there still is the two frequencies?

Make sure you add a PA system to it, as they great fun.

I picked up everything I needed from ebay, £15 CB (midland 3001), £5 mic, £15 arial + mount, £5 swr meter.

All I hear is static and the odd trucker.

To be honest I only got it so i could have the mic dangling from the roof in a convoy sytle.....

It's time I got the PA bit set up....

i got mine in there now, just gutter mount aerial, hand set and unit, wire it in and away i went, use it round liverpool as the rest of the lads have them and for when we go off roading as its very easy to loose each other on the sites we went plus i wanna get into laning now to will be getting used for that.

No AM was illegal back in the 80's it just FM but most new rigs have 80 channels 40 for the UK and 40 for the rest of the EU

Hi All

Well , i'm curently looking around for a nice cb set so the question is : what would be a good set-up , i know President makes nice cb-radio's but what would you advice....

Go for Midland. reasonably priced easy to hold of, and small enough to fit anywhere.

When looking around at Ebay i see a lot of sets named Allan/Midland , are these the same?
