how many cb channels are there?
 

hi, i'm new to CB radio... How many channels are there? It looks as if
there are 40 channels, but i see some cb radios advertised that can go to
ch.80... what gives? 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!

Get off the cb radio son they went out in th 70's the rest that are left
look at this newsgroup, they are all one eyed gentic mutants, too much RF
too the brain . sell your radios and get a girlfriend.

Please don't listen to this blowhard, he answers every post with
multiple names.

Buy an HF rig and open it to 11 meters.


Sounds delicious. Now if only i knew what that meant...
I just bought a CB for fun so i can talk with my friends. Not having grown
up in the CB-happy era, it makes me sad to see such a cool technology not
being used. I wish everybody used them again. I missed all the cool times,
like before the WWW existed and when it was cool to rollerblade and carry
boomboxes.

Hi.


Don't mind the unhelpful responses... some people on this group seem to be
anti-CB while others are too scared to fall in a Troll trap.

In America, there are 40 *legal* channels. On these channels you may either
use AM or SSB.
As each channel can either hold one AM conversation or two SSB
conversations, this means that you could effectively have 80 SSB channels.
The frequencies covered are as you give above, and power is limited to
4Watts (plus 2Watts mod) for AM and 12Watts for SSB. As well as higher
power allowed, SSB is more efficient - giving you a much greater distance.

However, the 80 channel radios you have seen are more likely to be 40 legal
channels plus another 40 illegal ones. Any CB designed to cover illegal
channels is illegal to use - even if using it on legal channels.
It is up to you how you feel about the law, but you should be aware that the
punishment can be strict for those caught using illegal CBs.

Here in the UK, we have 80 channels, FM mode only. 80 channel sets were
made legal a few years back, but only those manufactured and approved as
such. Power in the UK is limited to 4Watts.

If you want more information, don't be afraid to ask and don't be frightened
off by the attitude of some idiots on this newsgroup - CBers are generally
friendly and helpful.


Regards,

Peter.

40 on cb.

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.

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.

It was cleared up when you were asked to provide for your claim.

no that is incorrect. citizen band radio freqs start at 26 mhz and
exend to 32 mhz with tons of channels to use...all he has to do is buy
the ten meter radio setup and he is in the game....


............until he gets the letter that states "Evidence before
the Commission indicated that you have been operating
radio equipment on the 10 Meter band. Please be advised that such illegal
and can result in fines of up to
$10,000 and/or a year in jail. You are requested to call me right away at

There are 40 channels, AM only. The channels are assigned based on
the carrier frequency of an AM signal. There are also 2 sidebands per
channel.

Sometimes this is the case, but if certain people appear abrasive, it's
because they are.

Legal class "D" CB radios manufactured for the U.S. market are limited
by law to 40 channels (Except older pre-1977 radios which were 23
channels).

There are radios made for the export market which have many more
channels modes and power. They are very real, and even manage to find
their way into the U.S. market (albeit illegally).

There is also questionable marketing literature which incorrectly refers
to AM/SSB radios as having "120 channels", when in fact it's only 40
channels with 3 modes available on each channel. It's not the same
thing.

reason to post without a valid email address unless you're A) looking to

A "hit-and-run newbie" , for those who do not know, is a shill, usually
when one is talking to themself,,,it's usually a new phony posting name,
obscured in the same juvenile manner (fake domain ALWAYS added)

of them) are more than willing to assist when it comes to turning the
tables on trash who would jam their frequencies repeatedly then
vehemently deny all on usenet (exactly like his unprovoked, hostile and
vile behavior in here for the last several years). It goes without say,
the manner in which people post is more than likely the same manner in
which they conduct themselves on air. No wonder hammie radio is in
