hi, i'm new to CB radio... How many channels

are there?

40 on cb.

It looks as if there are 40 channels, but i see

some cb radios advertised that can go to

ch.80... what gives?


Do you have an example of such a cb and a specific website in mind? A cb
touted as having 80 channels? Highly doubtful, but since you have
specifically provided for the example, please now cite the webpage where
you saw this cb touted as 80 channel.


Any website i visit says the legal frequency

range is from 26.965 to 27.405 MHz, and ch

40 IS 27.405 so it doesn't make sense to have
another 40 channels present.

Help meeee!

Really? Again,, which websites have you visited?
Speed limits only go to 70 MPH in the US. According to your logic, it
makes no sense they go faster. Consider yourself helped, unless the
analogy is lost on you. No cb is manufactured for sale in the US with
more than 40 channels.

Ok, thank you. But my logic isn't flawed, i think you misinterpreted what
I said. If the forty channels consume every frequency in the legal range,
it _logically_ doesn't make sense to have more channels because they
would have to be on other frequencies outside the legal range... That's
all i meant and thought.

But now it's been cleared up... thanks.

p.s. i went to some websites that appeared to be written by well-informed
authors, i dunno, just ones i saw on google.
