The band switch, ABCDE...controls what frequency band your channel selector selects.

For example, Band A channel 1 is a different freq than Band B channel 1. I do not know what the frequencies are for each band. Someone will.

You guys use FM in the UK, right? So use FM. But you could try AM or one of the sideband modes (LSB, USB), if your so inclined.

Remember, the modes FM, AM USB, LSB are just different modes and not a different channel or anything like that.

The channels on the 3900 will not be on the same frequencies as the UK CB bandplan.
