UHF CB Radios and their use

(1/3) > >>

Whizz:
Now that I have a UHF CB on the bike I thought I would canvas the members to see who has a CB fitted to their machines and how they use them.

Are they on all the time when you are riding or do they just get switched on during rides with others?
Do you have a 'most used' channel? is there a channel that is generally accepted as being used by riders or do you just pick a quiet one?
Do you use repeaters or just stick with 'short' range stuff, and;
Speaking of range, how far can you get useable clear two way communication?

And last but not least how do you deal with all the potty-mouthed dropkicks who seem to inhabit the airwaves? :well

Brock:
If you are touring by yourself, then 40 is where the truckers are, 4WD users seem to use 39. 5/35 repeater is emergency only. 1 - 8 (31 - 38) are the repeater channels
