Has anyone looked into the case law, yet? It's important to the original question. Case law is the set precedent. If there is case law in existence, pertaining to the specific codes in question, what was the context? If there is no case law, then these laws have not, yet, been tried. And, if...

I have a smartphone. I have Google Maps. I even have Waze. Even so, I still find my CB to be more reliable than the aforementioned phone and apps, when it comes to getting real-time traffic updates, while driving MY truck. I don't have to do anything to get updates, either. Just leave the...

Those truck wash ladies need to find the volume knob on their radios. Either that, or wait until a break in conversation. They all seem to key their mics in the middle of someones sentence, then proceed to read a 5 minute script. They interrupt traffic updates and other semi-important (heh)...

@ DB: Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you. ************************************* On a side note, I'm starting to notice that I would have done well to have given more thought and effort in advancing my math skills, back in high school. I'd likely grasp all this a lot faster. I appreciate y'alls...

A little bit of Googling led me to a thread on eham, that discusses a similar topic: http://www.eham.net/articles/7711 Lots of opinionating going on, but the 1st post (and, btw, I didn't read through all of them; maybe about 1/2, or so) had a link to some legal code, courtesy of Cornell Law...

You've lost me, lol. Where are the degrees coming from? If we're still talking length of coax, I have no clue what you mean by 270 or 90 degrees. If we are not talking length, that what are we talking about? Please, excuse my ignorance on the topic.

Awesome. Having played around with the calculator a bit, I believe I understand the math, now. Thank you for the explanation.

Yes, I believe that your understanding of the Cobra model is correct; my understanding is the same as yours. That's what I meant about Cobra coming at the same issue from a different angle. The Uniden works by itself, and the Cobra requires a smartphone with a special app to be linked to it...

I wonder... the literature states that the radio alerts you to activity on a relevant frequency (presumably to alert you that you may be approaching a speed trap). Encrypted activity is still activity, so will it still warn you? If so, it's still useful (until it's warnings have turned out to...

I'd be more interested if it had sideband capabilities, and if they shaved some off the price. Initially, I suspected that their target demographic was truck drivers. And, that may be so, but, as a driver myself, I don't know many other drivers that would spend $450 on a radio. They can't...

Yeah, I hear ya. That's one thing about my 980; too many buttons. The mic and rf gain would have been better on knobs, as opposed to buttons. Radio R&D would probably be more productive, if the companies would put forth a little effort towards marketing. The only reason that I knew the...

For a headset, I use a RoadKing RK400. Keeping that thing charged is rarely an issue. If any thing, the charging drawback is that it doesn't need to be charged on a daily basis, so I sometimes forget that it needs charging. On other threads, I have stated my suspicion of DAS brands, as far...

My assumption is that, once your phone is paired to the radio, you would conduct the phone call in much the same way as you would conduct any other conversation on the CB; you key the mic and speak into it, when you have something to say. Conversely, when the person on the line is speaking...

I have considered that. Legally, though, can't do that while driving.

And, this is why I have opted for a small amp, over internal performance enhancements.

I don't know if the radio sucked or not, but I recall looking at the radio and briefly considering it. My thought process went something like this, "Hey, that's a spiffy feature! Cool technology. But... what would I do with it?" I can already pair my phone, via Bluetooth, to the stereo in my...

Indeed, sadly.

I use an external speaker in my truck. It's a cheap little thing, and it doesn't do bass tones very well, but I find it useful to be able to relocate the sound. The internal speaker, of course, points towards my dashboard, and the radio is in the center of the dash. My external speaker...

The thing with DAS, is that the primary function of the company is to stock travel centers. That's why I was wondering, above, about the quality of product before and after DAS bought the company. I have noticed that, for example, folks that have used older Turner RoadKing mics, tend to find...

Not to be argumentative, but he said that, from where he was, he was able to make contact with a guy at a truckstop, that he knew to be about 10 or 11 miles away. He also mentioned that the response that he got from the guy was weak, but that the guy returned a good report on the performance of...
