Let me start off with Ham is very usefull in these disasters but, the thought that keeps coming to mind is, reckon how many of the hamsexy, ambulance,firetruck,police car chasing nit wits show up and create more problems than they help?

Hey guys I think Carter was in office in 1976-1980, the so called oil crisis was in 1973 I my be wrong but I'm close.

Sonwatcher the only answer you will get from CWM is that cb was not intended as a hobby service, but I hate to bust (yes bust not burst I'm a hillbilly remember) his bubble, ham was not or is today a hobby service, it was intended to further improvements in radio comms. We all know that may have...

I found this on another site but thought it was a good read Joe Tomasone (AB2M) November 23, 2004 Yes, yes, I know. You've heard this before. It's been pronounced when FM was introduced, screamed from the mountaintops when no-code came to be, and continues even today with BPL...

Here is the problem, the FCC is a goverment agency and being so the people in it are there due to politics (good ole boys), they don't have a clue when it comes to anything related to radio. They listen to the lobbyist (ARRL, etc.) and this is why we get these rules that are so far out of touch...

Not trying to be smart but why does anyone want echo? Most of the time those that use it can't be understood, it just adds to the noise when the band is crowded. But I really would like for someone to explain it to me, in a nice way guys, don't cuss me out cause I really am trying to understand...

At least in the FCC section we discuss things that pertain to radio, it does get out of hand at times with the constant post of uncle Charley is goin to get you! But this Alex Jones junk all the time has not a thing to do with radios or the hobby! What gets me is these guys post this junk then...

(CWM WROTE) Let me ask you: If they came up with a VHF FM CB radio with----say,10-20 watts, would you forsake the noisy, unreliable CB radios of today? Just curious. That's where CB is probably going in the future. Sure would, I would like to have a murs legal radio now, if I could find...

Meaningful Entry-Level License Privileges are Top Priority, ARRL Says NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 1, 2005--The ARRL again has urged the FCC to provide meaningful operating privileges to entry-level Amateur Radio licensees, including access to HF, even if it doesn't want to create a new license class...

Hey CW you telling me that am can't be tightened up to work on 5 khz spacing? I don't buy that as a good reason not to look at the possibility of using the 440 khz spread more efficiently. My whole point is the sloppy radios on the market today will not do it but with new designs, better...

Does anyone know of a data base that still has the old callsigns that the FCC used to give out, just wondering if they were still around or if they threw them away when they went to no license?

I still say that better radios are the answer to many problems, if we had tighter better filtered radios we could have 80 channels on the bandwidth that is in use now. Why not build a cb with 5 khz steps with fm on say 20, am on 30 and ssb on 30 channels, an honest to goodness radio instead of...

Now as far as what it would take to change things, that is a long answer, I think better radios that are cpu controlled would help a lot, ( do away with vr's and that stops the golden screwdrivers) with better radios there could be more channels by using 5khz steps instead of ten, why not use fm...

Not trying to be smart, but there are few if any radios made in the US, I think Ten tec are the only ones. I may be wrong but anyway the radios in question are imported mostly from China to dealers here in the US and are only legal to be exported or resold to other countrys, this is how they get...

Some people don't ever learn do they?

:lol: The first radio I ever owned was a Kraco 2310 I still have it, its hard to tell how many hours that thing has on it, last time I checked it still works. Now I'm thinking on the past! :wink:

Is there anyone building any type of murs legal radios?

:D I don't see uncle charlie losing any sleep over anyone talking on a 23 channel radio, if they have not had every screw in them turned and messed with they are just as if not cleaner than a lot of the other junk you hear on the air! :shock:

This last post is just plain absurd and should be just plain deleated from this forum! This is not the place for this type of hate mongering

Much has been said about cb not getting anymore freqs, that this just would not happen, but , think about this for a minute, in 1996 the FCC added 14 freqs, channels, the frs then in 2000-2002 they added 5 more in murs. All of this may not interest some because 11 meters was not expanded, but...
