C.B.
Radio has been used as a cheap and simple means of communication between
vehicles in the UK since the introduction of the legal 27 MHz frequency
band some 24 years ago. |
CB has
a lot to offer all types of enthusiasts. Out on the road there is still a spirit
of community with people reporting the whereabouts of hold-ups and accidents,
often allowing alternative routes to be taken long before you get snarled
up in several miles of standing traffic. |
Most
C.B. Radios these days come with 80 channels (40 UK and 40 European).
All these channels can be used in the UK, but only the 40 channels designated
for use in mainland Europe should be used in the rest of the EU. However,
this point seems largely to be ignored. |
