CB IN MEXICO ?

[ND RADIO]

Is there an official cb band in Mexico ??

Maybe someone from MX will chime in but there does not appear to be. Amateur radio seems to be covered and MX Family FRS. I'd avoid using a CB there just to be safe. No telling what legal action they could take.

There are hundreds of them talking below ch 1 and above ch 40 so I figured there was an official cb band in there somewhere...

I've always assumed that in such a corrupt country anything goes regardless of the laws unless your a foreigner who happens to break a rule.

Ya I imagine in a country where cops and judges are getting knocked off left and right a mere cb violation is waaay down the list....

There is lot's of "cb" in old mex. Just don't take your rig now there....that is less'en you want to "donate it " to someone):>>

there are many privately run cab companies in Mexico City and really everywhere in central and south america that use the standard channel 1 through 40 CB band.
those radios are plentiful there, so that's what they use.

there is one that uses channel 19 and always seems to have a female at the home base giving out the calls. If you pester her long enough she will answer you in english, although you might not like what she says to you. LOL

Yes almost 100% cab dispatchers. Don't worry if you can hear them, they can hear you, so why not have some fun with Google, Bing or Microsoft translator

It sounds like there isn't an official cb band then....

happens here too. I've had a few items "walk away" over the years.

sounds like a good situation for a 99 cent 23 channel from ebay.

Yes,same 40 channels as the US cb band

No cb license required in Mexico

What you hear are freebanders like the rest of the world bellow ch 1 and above ch 40 am,fm and ssb

Is cheaper to run a modified cb radios for the taxi fleet that have the same frequency

Also many of them run business radios with license
