CB Radio Channel

Hi I have recently purchased a CB for my 90. Which channel is the norm to communicate on? are there different channels for off roading etc.
Thanks

Channel 19 is the breaking channel on fm rigs and 14 on am, most 4x4ers use 16 while out and about i think

sorry what does breaking channel mean?

Traditionally it's when the little plastic knob falls off in yer fingers but is also used to describe a cracked display

Take your pick of the channels, so few people use CB it doesn't really matter. However, the normal " meeting ' channel is 19 .
For travelling in a convoy, you will find CB's invaluable.

In his fingers? That's a bit odd. Usually people have them in their hands, or their mouths, or if you're that way inclined your bum

It's the plural that's truly worrying.

me and my mate use 16 (4x4) but as said it's a take your pic really but obviously if your on channel 1 and everyone else is on channel 2 your not going to be talking to anyone :bolt:just make sure to agree a channel beforehand with anyone you want to be talking to during your drive. or if you want to try and find someone to talk to your probably better off on her or a social media site as there is so few people that use cb everyday now that even driving from cambridge to milton keynes and having mine on scan I found no-one

Traditionally, the channel where you intially contact other users. Breaking channel because of:-

"Breaker, breaker. One-Nine for a copy" Possibly followed by "Got your ears on, c'mon?"

The response might be "Breaker shouting for a copy, take it up to 23" (up or down to a suitably quiet channel.) This was back in the day when CBs were busy
