Who are hams and what do they do?

Hams share fascination with communicating. They're from all walks of life, and nearly all nations. They communicate by voice, data (computers), Morse code and other exciting ways hams have found to make contact with other hams. You never know who you'll run into -- maybe a nurse in France, a neighbor across town, an orbiting space shuttle astronaut or a factory worker in China.Go ahead, Get your license and then see who you can call.

RADIO TROUBLES

Compliments of Firestik® Antenna Company Technical Support Team

INTRODUCTION

CB radios are designed to be two-way devices. That is … they receive and they transmit. These are the two primary functions. Both functions share some common circuitry, but they also work independently of one another. We often hear from people that say, "I receive okay but nobody can hear what I’m saying" or "They hear me but I don’t hear them." Because we are an antenna manufacturer either of the two statements are often followed by "Do you think there is something wrong with my antenna setup?"

The radio manufacturers most certainly field technical calls that question the radio’s performance when indeed the problem is antenna related. Likewise, we field numerous calls from individuals that want to fix an "antenna problem" that really isn’t an antenna problem. In this article we will offer our angle on some of the more common problems we run into regarding radio troubles and offer some ways for you to troubleshoot and/or fix the problems.

What is Cb Radio?

CB stands for "Citizen's Band". It is a specific range (band) of radio frequencies from 26.965 megahertz to 27.405 megahertz that are reserved by the FCC for short-range communications by the general public. Also included in this range of frequencies are the ones used by radio control model cars and aircraft. Cb radios are two-way radios which transmit and receive on these frequencies. Cb radios are popular with truckers because they are used to communicate between each other on the highway Cb radios are used for traffic information, speed trap locations, and general conversation. Normally, CB radios have an FCC-limited output power of 4 watts, giving them a range of only maybe 6-10 miles, but many Cb radio users modify their radios and antenna systems to give them much greater range, sometimes across the country. There is also a system available called SSB, or "single side band" which enables users to increase the range of the Cb radio. For a while back in the 1970s and early 80s, thanks to C.W. McCall and his hit "Convoy", everybody and their brother had a Cb radio in their car, van, on their motorcycle, in their garage, everywhere. Some cars even had them as dealer options. The cool thing is that unlike ham radios, you don't need a license for Cb radio so anyone can talk. It used to be the only way to communicate from vehicle to vehicle, and it was limited by short range. Now, cell phones have pretty much wiped out the personal use of Cb radio and truckers are the primary users of Cb radios. Hobbiests and users of off-road vehicles also use Cb radios to keep track of each other. Cb radios can also be used by campers, hickers, climbers and emergency systems like REACT. Anywhere that people want to stay in contact lends itself to Cb radio. It can also be a great hobby or a first step towards a Ham radio liscense.
