    Some companies use VHF radios for comms between their trucks and the mill or if they have a breakdown in route. The drivers will use Cb for talking with trucks that are not within their company,road conditions,weigh cops and so forth...and alot of trucks will have both radios as mentioned...

    Physically small and simple VHF/UHF mobile rig required

    Most all of the current production vhf/uhf radios have the ability to be programmed by a computer with the proper software and patch cable,it is as easy as entering the frequency,pl tone ,power output .....To me personally the software is worth getting.

    Technician's first radio

    For local chatting a 2 meter/440 FM rig will fit the bill and you can build a Jpole for that radio for about 30$ or so that will work pretty well.... For HF,you have a small chunk of the 10 meter band ...28.300 to 28.500 for SSB voice...I have been hearing that 10 meters has been hopping the...

    setting swr

    I would use the lowest power setting the radio had to set the swr to begin with. When you get the swr as low as you can then bump up the power and fine tune the antenna as needed

    I am talking about current production radios ( the D models ) I do realize the non D models did have some issues ..I am hoping most of those have been dealt with...But I am always looking at different radios to see if they might be what I am looking for
