For the new guys. "Channels" is a popular, but highly illegal thing that CBers quickly get into. Just one word of caution.
If you get one of those 'export' radios like Galaxy or Connex, be SURE to know where you are transmitting. Some of these "bands" of channels will put you right smack in the Amateur bands (24-28 MHZ). These bands are NOT part of any CB or "free" band. If you are heard, the licensed users of such frequencies will turn you in--or if they are in your local area, track you THEN turn you over to FCC. Contrary to popular CB myth, if you tread on licensed "channels', the Feds WILL cite you-or FINE you if you persist in talking there. Not to be mean, just to make you aware!
