My old Young World walkie talkie from the 70s would always pick up truckers on the CB. I used to listen to them at night all the time going to bed. So cool.
Anyone know why my Uniden 980ssb CB radio on Breaker 19 I can here it on my Cobra and baofeng walkie talkie channel 18 and also when I key the mic on my CB it cuts out the Cobra transmission.
You can listen to CB radios on a GRMS/FRS radio (and vice versa) but that will not be direct communication. That's possible, for example, by software using the FRN application. A given server with 2 gateways, one using a GRMS/FRS radio and other using and a CB radio will allow the communication between those two (or others) very specific and completely different radio/frequencies. There are handheld CB radios like the Alan 42 Multi but those in the video are not CB hand helds.
UV-5R work on VHF - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-meter_band - and UHF (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70-centimeter_band) frequencies (in fact a little bit more then that), But they do not work on the 27MHz use by CB radios. In Europe, CEPT bands, channel 19 is on 27.1850 MHz....some countries use different frequencies like the UK, where channel 19 is on 27.78125 MHz.
Sorry Steve. If you use FRN you can. With both radios connected to the same server, even on different frequencies, if the radios are used as cross links, you can listen do GRMS/FRS on CB and vice versa. The same way I listen do CB on PMR446 on the server I usually connect. It is possible by software, but of course not by direct communication between different are frequencies.
If their cb has a powerful enough amplifier it can be picked up on other electronics. Had a friend who's ho.e stereo would get interference from trucks cbs as they drove by
sorry Steve.i was not using the FRS or games radios. I modified a kids spiderman walkie talkie, which had been reported to pick up cb signals. I just picked up a trucker today.my unit is cheap toy crap.my other radios, FRS,just pick up what they are designed for. sorry for the mixup on that.
Maybe someone in your neighborhood has an FRS radio and they're on the same channel. Those antennas are permanent can't be removed and the radio does about 1 watt or less. The FRS radios were allocated in the late 90's and meant to be short range and they work on 450-457 Mhz. Your hearing your Cobra radio in the FRS radio through the speaker. Your Cobra radio probably doing 4-5 watts and anything close transmitting will come through the radio's receiver front end circuit and speaker. My cb base radio in the 80's did the same thing. Happens all the time. They're cheap made circuits with no filtering of other signals.
If you want to get a Driver to respond you have to say, Can I can a radio check drivers? That is the only way they will think you are a driver and on a CB
I had a pair of WTs as a kid that used to scare the hell out of me because every time I would turn it on I kept getting someone singing "Happy Birthday to Bozo (the clown)" on them.
I am pretty sure Walkie Talkies can pick up police radios. Im not sure but On the road I had my walkie talkies on and we were talking with another person in another car. We pass a police car and then on the CB we hear random talking.
not a chance your radios are getting Cb, they are about 415mhz apart! buy yourself an actual cb and try it, I guarantee you won't hear yourself! and those cheap kids toys are junk. grab yourself a true uhf/vhf handheld and see the difference it makes!
one time i was little i had a walkie talkie and was near a trucker. appariently it hooked up with the frequencies and i could talk with truckers. of course it was terrible to hear with static but dang that blew my mind!
It couldn’t be CB (What truckers use) you were picking up GMRS channels. These radios operate on 460 MHz on FM. CB’s operate on around 27MHz on AM so it couldn’t be CB. It had to be GMRS Repeater’s you were picking uo
sorry.but skip in the atmosphere can enable cb to be received on these cheap kids talkies. yesterday I actually spoke to a trucker from Connecticut and new Jersey. I rebuilt one to look like a real cb.I call mine G-RADIO since I built it for my gerbil that just celebrated his first birthday. I've been hearing these guys for two years now. signals are mixed and fade in and out but I have had conversation with these guys.so,yes, cross skip especially around sunspot activity helps.more often than not I get just static.
It is possible, if the signal was a HAM radio signal, if it was on the same frequency, because channel 1 on a 22 channel walkie talkie is *462.5625* Full List: wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/FRS/GMRS_combined_channel_chart
(I clicked this video bc I thought someone hacked some handy talkies and got them to cover 27mhz), if he wouldve looked up the frequency of those radios, he wouldve saw that they may be gmrs frequencies, and I suspect he may be hearing gmrs bouncing off some repeaters, in which case, he would have to transmit a tone for the repeater to pick him up, and for them to hear him, in which case, he would be breaking the law without a gmrs specific license, so he should be happy that they don't hear him and talk back, people these days think they own the air, and cant snitch u out fast enough( must be liberals, lol, "hear something, say something", but I know ny radio wont stop working just bc someone broadcasted 1 watt without a license). Ill have my gmrs license in 2 weeks, and I will never report anyone who isnt causing ridiculous interference, or not over the power limit. Im working on my ham too,But with gmrs, ur whole household, (kids included), can talk on any radios in ur system
How does one go about getting a GMRS license? I've been interested in radios for a while, just being able to talk to who ever intrigues me. I would love a HAM license too, but I never knew about the GMRS. I tried getting into it a bit with a CB, but I never could get that to work quite right, I figured I wasn't doing something right with the antenna tho, not really sure.
I have no idea how you get a gmrs licence, I'm in the UK, over here we use the same thing but it's called pmr446 and it's licence free, it's impossible to get a licence for it and you are restricted to half a watt (500mw) transmission power. nobody cares about that, we all use baofeng vhf/uhf duel band handheld that output 5w and will go miles and miles. on top of that, the baofeng handhelds can go on any frequency between 130mhz- 179mhz vhf and 400mhz-520mhz they can get on the repeaters, they are better quality than gmrs/pmr446 radios and cheaper! look up the baofeng uv-82 it's a good handset. please ignore all the people claiming the uv-3r or uv-5r are better, they are not the 82 has better features, is more powerful and is better built. you can get licensed to use these radios legally but even licenced they will never be legal for pmr446, the rules are very strict on that band but never inforced over here, I don't know what it's like for gmrs over the pond but I imagine the chances in getting caught are next to zero.
You have to punch in the secret key combination easter egg to enter into engineer mode for testing purposes to let you unlock the other frequencies the radio can operate on.
its called co channel interference meaning they are cheapo crappy 446 midland radios basically they havent used crystals in wt for yrs its all eproms now

There is also another secret key that allows you to turn up the volume so you can be heard.

It drives me crazy how people post videos and don't check the sound volume...
idiopos while those of us with 300 Beats thought it sounded just fine
it drives me crazy when thay do there and don't read the book
nope! cb radios use the 27mhz range. this radio is in the 460 to 470 mhz range.

I believe you because you seemed to not know 19 is the truckers generally used channel so it makes sense.
channel 19 is C B G M R S operates 462

Packages clearly state that you get up to 36 miles of range when the pathway is uninterrupted, ergo no trees or mountains
what thay are talking about is you can get 36 miles but that is on G M R S repeter channels

I used a children's walkie talkie as a kid...some sort of signal came through idk what
I have frs and gmrs I get stuff like that on channel 21
I heard something on channel 12n frs side when I was on gmrs 21st repeter channel

They can as well as cb too I know this for a fact but you must be close by.

Have a set of walkie talkies very similar to this and on channels 19 and 21 I was able to listen to trucks driving by
My set of audiovox (twenty years ago) would do the same, they had a 2 mile ranges which was good at the time.
that was a CB and channel is the nation wide trucker channels and still is

absolutely not, no amount of skip is gonna allow a 400mhz frequency difference to communicate lol
Line of site, CB will go farther then FRS or GMRS. CB has 4 watts of power whereas most GMRS are 1 watt and FRS is limited to 1/2 watt.
I have three H t's 1/2 a watt on family service G M R S H T's 5 watts my base is a mobile
unit putting out 45 watts all are rugged radios
They are GMRS repeater stations that you are picking up
Richard Brasch nope cb chat
Renin bounty hunter Extra bounty hunter denver you can’t pick up CB’s on these. It’s GMRS
You can pick up cb by static
So, if I buy let's say a Cobra CB will it pick up mu hunting parties walk talkie?
deedle6785 no but a baofeng ham radio will.
No.
and the answer is N O CB IS 27 meg's G M R S is 462.650 with a repeter net work
I picked up morse code
It wont be CB most likely because FRS is FM CB is Am

I need to post a video of our gmrs radios picking up cb traffic.
Steve Fox no they wil pick up cb chatter u do not know shit
or called skip when conidtions are perfect you will here stuff can hear new york police in ohio when was on analog
No thay can not pick on cb signals
You have to punch in the secret key combination easter egg to enter into engineer mode for testing purposes to let you unlock the other frequencies the radio can operate on.
@Christian Lyons it was a joke dip shit
Interesting that only one does it. If you could determine why (crystal glitch etc) you might have a $$$ patent point or something.
I have the same Walkie-Talkie but black
it called bleeding truck drivers running power will bleed anything and be clear and sound like on the radio but their not
Mike Benner correct my radio bleeds through my regular music radio sometimes and I can hear myself through the speakers

You are picking up GMRS radio not CB. CB frequencies are much lower.

I think ite. Ot broke its that there cb made w cross conection with the walkie and i think it can only do one at atime so
Why 50 dislikes?
Your radios are 446mghz and cb is 27mghz so the answer is no.
