CW I use a stock CB radio from Wally World never been opened, Solarcon A-99, 20' on a hill that is 30' above the people I am talking too, they say my stock radio is walking on people with mobile 2 pills, its true your antenna is 90% of your station. 73

I wonder if this has anything to with this story??? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/5747911.html

One more thing I learned is that the channel number displayed on the screen is not the same exact frequency the converter displays for example CH. 49 hear is actually on ch 5 DTV VHF but the converter displays the original ch number 49 analog = 49.1, 49.2, 49.3 / 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 DTV.

Stations chose a channel for post-transition operation within the new core spectrum for TV broadcast channels (channels 2 through 51). The remaining channels (52-69) will be reclaimed for public safety and advanced wireless services. FCC PDF...

I bought one of them 40$ converters from HEB Grocery store and I did a test to see if my legal CB radio base interfered with channel 2 same frequency but digital. I did not see any freeze frames or break up. I did not have any problems with interference with analog CH 2 just wanted to let you...

QRZ forum is not that good, They like to use handicap pictures to relate CB and no coders with the handicap. My older brother was one of Jerry's kids, He past away a decade ago.

Does GMRS interfere with the neighbors at 50 watts? Is 85 dollars worth it to talk on that service? I remember FRS when it came out in the 90's, Once I talk to a lady dispatcher from the local emergency department by accident. I used it as a scanner from then on. :D
