Yep this is the hate, part about cb radios LOL Unless I'm on a road trip, or out 4-wheeling , my cb radio is in a box in the garage. and more often than not, I still leave it behind on a road trip, when 4- wheeling I keep a vhf radio with me as I can almost always hit a repeater, where my cell phone has no service, vhf gives me a way to call for assistance if I have an issue in the mountains … edit.. I rarely talk on any radio, I'm just not that interested, in pointless yakking,,,but like having the ability to communicate if it has a purpose…I occasionally monitor 11 meter CB frequencies as my ICOM HF base radio has an 11 meter monitor only function, but all I hear is typical CB gibberish, a lot from the South, with what sounds like drunken idiots babbling incoherently, repeating what they say multiple times, and really nothing that sounds understandable.
I do remember the 'good ol days' of CB when it was a lot different, typical chit chat, BS etc. but it ain't like that now.
Must have been waaaaay before my time because I remember things being exactly the same when I gave up on the Cesspool Band 30 years ago.I occasionally monitor 11 meter CB frequencies as my ICOM HF base radio has an 11 meter monitor only function, but all I hear is typical CB gibberish, a lot from the South, with what sounds like drunken idiots babbling incoherently, repeating what they say multiple times, and really nothing that sounds understandable.

Yea I remember it back in the 70's. My dad had a base station with a rotating antenna. Used to talk all over when the propagation was right.Must have been waaaaay before my time
Back in the 70's I had a giant dipole antenna on the roof and could talk for miles on the old 23-channel Citizens Band. Now I've got GMRS walkie talkies that can talk further on the same power.Yea I remember it back in the 70's. My dad had a base station with a rotating antenna.

Actually here in Central Oregon CB wasn't too bad - even into the 90's actually but thats about the time I started loosing interest.
You mentioned 10 meter....whether its 10
What are these "bands"?Alot of the new President Radio covers lots of frequencies whether its 10 or 11 meter CB band. President Lincoln plus covers all these. There are a lot more features inside the secret menu that I wish we had back 40 years ago.
The A band 1 to 40 are all dedicated CB radio in AM or FM mode.

Those are the coverage of the President Lincoln Plus radio we were talking about the other day. Some of the other President models the has those inside the secret menu. If you want to know more I can share you some videos and information.What are these "bands"?
The frequencies don't make any sense, so I figured it was a new FCC standard, but I don't see anything on the FCC website. Is it proprietary? If so, I don't need links.
I'm talking about the same Lincoln radio. I'm not so sure if you're asking me or youre telling me..

where's the picture?
They make good radios. Whats important is if you like it and it serves your purpose.I'm leaning toward this Uniden for a cheap CB. It's got every feature I want, and the retro look doesn't bother me. For a radio with a built-in SWR meter, it's hard to beat.
