Ryan knows me well ......
There REALY is a FM CB a leagal one ... now ryan has 2 part 15 fm cb radios same as i do very intresting devices too bad the FCC when cb was expanded to 40 ch didnt use some logic and allow FM only on the old class c ones but that might have made some sence ...... something goverment agencys have little of.
let me know what a channel is
( email me ) |

Taz,
Try Radio Shack and see if they have any left, if not they still have them on e-bay.
There are several different brands.
Or type in your Internet Server Search Box "MURS Radios."

look for the midland 75-160 on ebay. they are 27mhz FM walkie talkies. too neat. im modding mine for wideband FM and since its x-tal, you can go pretty much anywhere incl 10m |

Am I to believe that this question was addressed to 11 meters? If so what frequency does everyone talk on? I have talked one time in my car on fm as a guy from Pennsylvania just had his radio repaired and was checking it out and I followed him to fm and made sure mine also worked. |

FM is very bad in heavy conditions as no voice can be heard when there are too many other carriers. |

ZNUT VERY TRUE phase distrotion on fm will make it useless in heavy faiding SSB will get through under MUCH worse conditions |

Bruce,
In the picture that sure looked like a Nice Uniden Grant on top of that MFJ Antenna Tuner to me.
If that is what you used when we talked it does a GREAT JOB!

Mr RF I use a grant LT for 11 meters it is LEAGAL and feeds DIRECTLY ( YES NO AMP ) into a TOP-ONE at 25foot. I try to set a example as far as complying with reasomable rules .... yes i think some are stupid like the scanner c-phone ban ... but at the same time by nature im a experimemter too...... and have fun tinkering with things BIG TIME. Now for anyone serious about FM who does not own a fm reciver or scanner that go down far enough you CAN lissen to Ryan and the others on 27.775 its called slope detection tune your AM cb set off ch by 2 kc and squelch it if a FM signal comes in there you will hear it. |

Ryan on FM you will get hetrodine untill you captuer the receiver The hotest receiver i have used is the alinco DR-M03 a very small ( 10 watt ) radio which can be expanded off of 10 meters it had a tone encoder but optinal decoder.
my home frequency is 29.600 |

Ryan if you serious about fm the DR-M03 is as good as they get ... expanded they receive 26.1 - 35.99 mhz in 5 khz steps .... i dont know how far you can strech the transmitter. Now a quick test of the alinco Dr-M03 showed at 28.01 9 watts out and .15Uv for 20 db SINAD ..... .12 for 12 db SINAD ...... i used the meter this time on the IFR something a RARELY do. Like i said tis a HOT receiver and a very small box! |

thats cool. im sure my mag will do just fine for a while. i talked skip before with the FM on that and it works great |
Bruce
| | Posted on Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 10:52 pm: |
|
YES it will!
The Mag 257 /TITAN 458 MEASURED on 29.600 was .25 UV for 12 db SINAD MORE than good enough. When you get ready drop me a email and ill kick on that alinco hooked to the TOP-ONE and give a lissen. |
