Had an SES callout tonight, Car V House. It was more just a storage area in a block of apartments being rented out. Either the driver came in too quickly or took off in First rather than reverse. The wall was knocked out of place a bit, had to stick an acrow prop up so that the top half by a door f...

I am going to be purchasing some walkie talkies in the next week or so, for security purposes. They will be used in suburban areas in and around houses, they will also be used in surrounding streets (to aid with surveillance), upto a few hundred meters away. How many watts is really required for th...

If its ok I just thought I'd start a thread here that has anything to do with the channel 8 repeater. Anyway I'm Bill and I'm on there alot of the times. Most of the time I just listen. I'm a CBer and from where I see it, channel 8 was basically just used an abused, it doesn't suprise me at all tha...

Im thinking of getting on these to use in replacing my IC-41s, mostly because of the scrambler that can be used with the Icom 400PRO, so just wanting to hear from anyone that is using one of these radios on what your throughts are.. thanks Good luck dude. I havn't personally come across those radio...

The CBers are the rightful people to talk. The companies and commercial people are not Contrary to popular belief, commercial use is permitted on CB radio. Some commercial people can be pig-headed and start transmitting on channel 5 and repeater inputs, but none the less they have a legitimate righ...

Lol. I am a CBer and don't mind sharing a bit of know-how to others who are starting off or still learning basics.

Hi, i have just bought myself an icom ic400pro and setting it up as a home base. i was wondering since they can be programmed, where could i get a hold of the cable and software, and if so, does anyone have any idea about how much it would cost me. its a great radio, but would be even better if i c...

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any Gov. department of some sort that monitors the repeater channels? Because I hear it is illegal to have over 5 watts, but it's quite obvious on channel 8 (Perth) that people have more than 5 watts output. The ACMA Australian Communications and Media Authority ...

Well I recently brought a handheld scanner, and tuned into the cb 1 repeater, and there were some idle chatter and it seemed pretty cool, im guessing it�s a little bit quiet because my reception on the handheld scanner is not great. I was thinking of somehow mounting a big (good) Cb antenna on my...

My take, its not illigal. As said above, repeaters are streamed all the time over the internet. Easily accessed by anyone who looks.
