Hi everyone, New to this site not to citizens band radio's though . Just got back into the game not a lot a DX going in the boot ( miss days when everybody had a CB and was on them ) . Found this site while contemplating what radio to purchase to use as a base unit ,as i said out of the game for a while want to see what is the latest and greatest new radios . Right now I have a Connex 3300 running on a power supply as my base unit . Disappointed about how quiet it is on the band , torn as to spend much money on another radio .

Welcome to the forum. You might look into a SSB radio, 38LSB has been rocking for several months now. DX is rolling on some of the freeband channels as well.

Freeband channels ?

 

[codeman]

Freeband are the frequencies above and below the CB band. These frequencies are illegal to operate on without a license but many people use them anyway. 26.915 is very popular on AM. 9C1Driver is right about looking into a radio with sideband (SSB). Welcome to the site. There are some extremely knowledgeable people on here.

Welcome aboard... I just got back into the hobby about a year ago... Band is always jumping around the big apple.. Skip is rolling right now as I type this.. I also talk with a group of guys that come on Fri & sat, I mentioned this in a previous post.. The hobby is still alive and well... Hope to hear you out there..
