It's not a CB. You've got yourself a commercial two-way radio, so you'll need to get it programmed by a Motorola dealer.gkoutlis wrote:Cheers for that - I am a total beginner - so not sure how to start or anything....let alone program in the channels...joss wrote:http://www.motorola.com/governmentanden ... i/id_1361i

Totally depends on the frequency range of the actual radio you have. If it covers 477Mhz then it can be programmed for CB, otherwise it could be set for receive-only on amateur or commercial channels. Again, they're only programmable by dealers...gkoutlis wrote: Are there any channels normal people use for a chat - like you Gav and others???

I can tell you honestly that anyone can get the programming equipment and software from /\/\. If you need any motorola radio programmed or even if you are looking at buying one, PM me as i can supply brand new /\/\ radios with full warranty to anyone who would like to purchase one. It is all done legit through my business.
All programming that i perform is done professionally and available to anyone. Please note: must provide proof of authorisation for TX capabilities on private frequencies. All transactions conducted are provided with receipts and any other further documentation that may be requested by the buyer.
PS - By the way, it is me who had added you to my msn list !
