I have to agree with Kmeleon - here in the State of Pennsylvania - the local police has banded together with the state police and is now a subscriber to the First Net.
Unless there is a disaster...
But you aren't supposed to speed in a work zone.
It is only common sense not to do it!
Take a trip with two cars, one traveling at 67 mph and one at 71 mph and drive 20 miles and see how far ahead...
You will want to put two fuses, one on the positive wire, one on the negative wire - about 12 inches from the battery.
That way if the wire chafes or shorts out, you will not catch the vehicle on...
As with all mobile radios, the power should be ran directly from the battery.
The battery acts like a filter, it smooths out the AC current from the alternator and gives you a true DC current to...
Well Mr. Q = my radio days started around 1969 - 70 and ended around 1979 when I realized that all of the class had left CB radio.

My old Bearcat BCT 7 allows me to listen to both public service, citizens band radio, and...
One antenna was just as bad as the other.
In order for the antenna to radiate properly, it needs to be placed beneath a ground plane.
A ground plane for 11 meters - what you call CB radio - is...
And when you wreck and the CB comes off the Dash and kills someone - who will be to blame?
Mount it securely to steel structure somewhere in the vehicle.
You need to make sure that you have enough...
SWR does not affect reception.
Reasons why you can't hear anything on your new ( Free ) CB radio.
1. The antenna is not resonant.
If the antenna is not resonant, then it isn't going to receive...
What do you mean by Low Band.
Low Band is anything from 30 - 50 Mhz where I come from.
High VHF is 155 - 157 Mhz.. Although the bands have been hacked up even further since the last time most of...
To take a stab at it - CB requires someone on both ends, both you in your car, and someone else - in front of you or coming from the other direction, that is willing to talk to you and give you a...

Hi everyone, not sure what to say.
Just found the forum, have a couple of minutes to kill, figured I would join and say hi.
