I get a few users in mid wales and lots more in North - the M4 and A470 get a lot of trucker traffic and on off road events its great - I get about 10 miles range from my unit with a long airial and a low SWL.

Hi Spuddog
I live in Bristol and have just fitted my first CB. Not attached to the aerial yet tho!
I don't intend to use mine much, mostly for holidays/overlanding or events such as London to Brighton run.
I'll listen out for you though when I get it working!
Cheers

Hi Clive
Well yes I was intending to use it the same as you are.
I'm not sure but I think the range is only about 2 miles. I live right on the east edge.
Was thinking about the L-B run. Do you need tickets? Is it too late to enter now?

I too was in Ullapool the other week and had a few converstaions with lads in deepest Englandshire, its all down to skip and atmosperic conditions.
I have one in the Landy and one in the other tug I use for the caravan, as someone says it depends where you are and what you are using. Most of the real users are sitting on Side bands to get away from the eegits who only want to cuss and swear and inflate their ego

Spudy, which side of Bristol are you on? I just got my CB set-up in the lightweight, and like you only got a fuzz from it. Not sure what range i should be getting, but i thought I would pick up the M4 traffic from Warmly.
Aw well, off to the alps later, will have to sort it out when i get back.
