    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.

    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.

    • @ruidelgado5294
      @ruidelgado5294 8 лет назад +1

      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.

    • @ruidelgado5294
      @ruidelgado5294 8 лет назад

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @smokeymountainrain
      @smokeymountainrain 8 лет назад +1

      (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.

    • @stevefox3763
      @stevefox3763 8 лет назад +1

      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.
