yeah in town ill get bear reports pretty frequently. i just had to discover it was CH17 and not 19.

haha sorry i replied right when i woke up. i got to finish proofing this when i get back from chem class.:bdh: lately though I have improved my English and writing skills since high school. I was very bad in middle school, but its night and day to what it was. mostly its conventions, like above...

ahaha that was great. yeah i been talking more locally with people. i discovered that truckers are using CH17 to move about in my area. and i had been on 19 constantly waiting for contact, and there was none. second i go to 17 i can pick up local truckers on the freeway so now i know.

haha you caught me. thats one of my biggest problem. 90% of the time have to go back anad look at every their there they're and make sure there in context...

yeah i got a good antenna 4' fire stick II and 18' fire flex. i hear so many more people. i made contact today with a trucker today, truckers are using ch 17 around here not ch19, he was on the same road and hill i was on, that was more fun than hearing king of the south god damn 30 times from DX

haven't turned it in yet teacher was sick. ill tell yeah how it goes when it gets graded.

will a 100watt amp help with shooting skip? also running an amp will let me comunicate with other people with amped rigs correct?

gotcha, and yeah, i hate hearing stupid people on DX. have you heard this guy? i forget his call sign, but every time he stops talking he goes this is ***** king of the south god damn. hes loud and annoying when hes DXing. but, next time i will definitely try and "get in" to the next...

haha thanks scout.

sounds good little more info. what REALLY bothers me is a few friends of mine have CB radios too, but they act like idiots on it. or they let there girlfriend or friend scream or talk or be retarded on it when there on with me. and its like dude.. where not the only people on the damn radio...

thanks bud. glad you liked it, yeah thats why i picked DX, and kept it simple. some people would ask why the hell would i want a CB radio when i have an iphone??? well im not telling you to get a cb radio but im asking can your iPhone reach Australia without using a tower, lines, internet...

ive done some radio checks and they hear me, but its locals. i talk all day on the radio with my friend down the road. but the locals in town only talk when they need too. not just to talk. it is kind of a disappointment in my opinion. my most memorable convo with someone was breaker breaker...

sorry to litter this forum with 2 threads, but i recently got bit with the CB bug again, and also had to write an essay for my college writing class. so i thought since i have been studying up on DX and just amateur radio in general I would write something that is fresh in my head. I decided i...

So im kind of sad with the use of my CB in my car. it might be my shyness or my confusion of how to go about talking to people, but i pick up the mic.... and put it down with out saying a word.. i can hear far out channels on ch 17 and 6 but, i dont participate in any discussion. like i said...

yeah i got a 5 pin too 4 pin adapter for my Hr2510 that isnt working.... its sad thats my best radio and its just under the weather i guess....

yeah i do understand how important a good coaxial is. the stuff i used before was some thing from RS and it was gray was ok, but shorted i take it. got a fire flex with fire ring and a fire stick II and holy crap works good on 4 watt CB, sure could use a 100w amp now

awesome guys ill look into it. i think im going to need to get a new coaxial cable thats longer. im not huge into radio shacks products but they have a good deal on 100' cable for 24$ that looks solid enough. my window is cursed with major obstructions in about 200degree field so im screwed till...

so it will help out if installed not needed but it will clean up the RX and keep unwanted crap from happing? its kinda confusing but i know the FCC hasn't done there job in 30 years and now theres so many different radio waves/ static, out there causing problems. so this RF choke just helps out...

i also have my grandpas Hy-gain II 40ch. i need to get a cobra 4pin male connector for it though. it was a special 5pin pain in the ass and all i been using are 4 pin cobra mics, (because its basically all that is sold or found anymore) so im converting some of our radios to a 4pin, besides my...

can someone explain the importance of an RF choke?
