    As a follow up - which channel would you want as the unofficial CB FM calling channel?

    FM

    I think if we could determine a channel as a community similar to the way 6 is AM and 38 is LSB that would be nice. If we could get some of the blogs and shops to say "channel X is the unofficial FM calling channel" then we could create a defacto FM channel. I could promote it on my channel and...

    FM

    https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/fm.262222/ Sounds like FCC has determined it wouldn't create any huge problems and they now agree with the addition. So barring unforeseen circumstances we should have FM fully approved in the US in next couple of months. I think they have one more meeting in...

    No problem - I kept it slightly less visible as I wasn't sure people would listen to my advice of not cranking everything :)

    FM coming to CB in the US ?

    Don't feel like they need to approve anything, the band is the wild west as it is :) You could use FM on the CB band and no one would notice.

    Also heard today the vehicle chip shortage is expected to last into next year which means used vehicle prices are likely to continue to be crazy. Sucks as I was just starting to look at replacing my 14 year old vehicle when prices went nuts. Have to keep it running for another couple of years I...

    Just another FYI - I'm seeing Chinese manufacturers quoting 10-25% higher for products in the last couple of months and shipping costs have skyrocketed - containers are costing 50% more to get them across the pond. What does this mean? Inflation on consumer products is not going to slow down...

    anybody got $35 for license?

    I just did my renewal on the website and I was expecting it to ask me to pay a fee for the renewal as I thought that it applies to renewals now as well but it didn't ask me to do any payment.

    Power supplies just keep evolving.

    Well moving the AC to the opposite end away from the DC is a smart move. Not sure why they didn't do that years ago :)

    Something new coming from Troy radio service

    Troy Radio Service just posted on Facebook they are releasing something new in 4 days. I asked them what it is but they are keeping it under wraps. I have a radio with them getting the DDS VFO so hopefully if it’s something really cool they can add it to my radio!
