I have just fitted a multi band CB radio in my 4x4 and I wish I had saved my money as there are no one about, anywhere! I used AM CB radio when is was illegal in the 70s and into the 80s when FM was legalised. So I thought I'd fit one in my truck, I already have Amateur radio in there. What a waste of money.... where have all the people gone? I hear that 14 FM is no longer used for a calling channel, but 19 is now used which used to be just for truckers. Then I read somewhere on the internet that 31 FM is the 'new' calling channel? WTF?
I assume that the EU AM band is the same freq that we used to use in the 70s? If so there is sod all on there either, listened to a few yanks talking the other day, apart from that and the few 'foreigners', or should I say non English speaking Britons on the UK FM band that's it!
Can someone tell me what the calling channels are on UK FM and the EU AM bands please? Or am I listening to the wrong channels/bands??? What channels are used now? Oh, and do you still use 'handles'?
Very disappointed that I have spent good money for nothing...
Regards,
Steve
