Howdy,

I have 5 available pre-sets in a receiver & I want to program in some
CB Channels.

Which channels would you suggest?

Thanks

Ask what your local trucker channel is and program it.
Channel 19 is a must. It used to be the emergancy channel in the US.
Lowest channel. It provides the longest QSO distance on CB.
Channel 29, 30 and 31 are widely used for DX-calls in Europe. Ask your
locals.
If you also can transmit have a look for the most quiet channel in your
area for to QSY to.

No j'aint. 19 never was no emergency channel.

That is the trucker channel.

9 is the emergency channel.

6, 9, 17, 19, and whatever else you want.

Ok, ok. I stand corrected... :-)
It's 19 years ago when I was in the US...

9 AM is trucker channel in Germany.
Very most other CB is in FM mode.
SSB is becomig more popular now as it became
legel on channel 4 -15 first and now 1-40 one
year ago with 4 Watt PEP over here.

4 watt PEP? Not much power... 12 Watt PEP this side the ocean...
What's the regular AM/FM limits over that way?

Legal power for AM is 1 Watt carrier (wich is 4 Watts maximum on 100%
modulation)
and 4 Watt on FM.

CB-regulations are here, in german of course ;-) :

19 is the mobile calling channel. Just because truckers use it it doesnt
make it the trucking channel although many people think it is. Theres lots
of car drivers on CB


That is the trucker channel.

9 is the emergency channel.

Absolutely, same in the UK although our channel 9 is a different frequency
from your channel 9 its still referred to as the emergency channel although
unless you were a bit of a pauper youd use your mobile in an emergency not a
CB.

On a more serious note heartfelt sympathies to all people affected by the
tragedy in New Orleans. In this day and age you really dont expect for
things to deteriorate like they have in a democratic and humain society. The
stories we have heard makes you think of a third world country not the most
powerful nation on earth. Were all thinking of you...
