No it is just the operators that make it that way.

I suppose that depends upon what sort of ****ty community you live in.
Where I live, with some exceptions. users tend to regard it as a
legitimate means of communication.

Of course, school holidays tend to drag the standard down, a bit.

Something to be said for radios with a parental keylocking system.

That said, my radio is turned off when I visit Sydney and Brisbane,
these days......wasn't , always, like that, though.

If this was a perfect world, we, probably, wouldn't
be in it.

Depends on where you live. If you live in a scumbag council house type area
then you will get the numbnuts on air. Try moving to a posher area where the
clientele are of superior breeding and move out from the trailer park..

By the way, I have heard all the undesirables have now gone to Amateur radio
thanks to that "farcical" Foundation Licence thing that most G licensee's go
on about so much. So may we, as a whole on CB, thank you for taking our
dregs away as CB, on a whole, is now much better...

No, but anyone with an inch of common sense will realise that living in
these areas, you will hear/see things that upset you whether you are good or
bad. If you live amongst council hose or trailer type people than that's
what you will hear on the local bands, especially CB.

Stupid arse. Are you seriously suggesting that CB signals suddenly come
to a complete halt at the border of the council estate?

The problem is that people insist on opening CBs up and turning everything
in sight. It would have been better to make everything factory set. Now
all you get is vast overdeviation as people think a loud mic = distance
using FM. It's just a general lack of knowledge. Most of the interfence
caused years ago was by total idiots. They were not happy with 4watts on
27MHz, they wanted 8 watts spread across a few MHz eaither side and only a
few watts on 27 due to bad adjustment.
Fortunately most CBers are too thick to do even a simple exam. I did my
amateur exams some years ago when it was two exam papers and a 12wpm morse
code test.
All you get on the bnds are old people. You're better off sticking to
broadband, a mobile phone and MSN Messenger. Why confine yourself to
speaking to boring and often very sinister people with only a few interests.
