considerably longer) as being in aclassof their own when it comes to

quality both in manufacture andperformance - and that's

important, unless you don'tmind your rig being in

the repair shop, or worse,constantly causinginterference simply

because the carvibration has loosened up

CB shops will see a con­siderable growth by the mid­dle of this year as CBers beginto delve into the accessorymarket. The range offered bymost high street retailers isgenerally limited to just acouple of antennas, an SWRmeter or two and the oddpatch cable. Many newbreakers have already ex­pressed dissatisfaction withthe after - sales back-up of­fered by the multiple outlets,indeed it is often impossible toget any kind of helpful adviceat all from these shops.

Taking all the variouspredictions into account, weexpect UK CB to be around forsome time to come. It neverdeveloped into a fully fledgedcult - many observersforesaw another Rubik'sCube - but that will not nowhappen. Instead CB will go theway of most other countries- a steady growth and asteady level of activity on thechannels with a gradual shiftof emphasis into the areas oftwo-way communicationonce dominated by businesscommunications, VHF marineradio and public mobile radio.CB is definitely here to stay I

More PowerYet another new mains supply'for CB rig~. This time we havea two <;Imp device, manufac­tured by the Zenith ElectricCompany. DC output voltageis stabilised at 13.8 volts andthe manufacturers claim thatthe unit meets all the Britishsafety regulations.

The unit is designed andmanufactured in this countryand costs just £16.50 in­cluding VAT. At the moment

Jit is only available mail orderfrom Zenith.

The address for all en­quiries is: Zenith Electric Co.Ltd, Wavendon, MiltonKeynes MK17 8AT or 9ivethem a buzz on 0908582531.

Further figures for pro­jected market growth varywidely from one to threemillion CB rigs in the countrybefore the end of 1982. Wewould put the fi9uresomewhere between the two,around 1.5 to two millionunits if everyone has donetheir sums correctly. If abouthalf the people who purchaserigs obtain a licence, wereckon that about half to threequarters of a million licenceswill be issued this year with anet value of five to eightmillion pounds to the Govern­ment. The net value of VAT,etc, etc could amount to a fur­ther £ 10 million, perhapsmore - again a nice tidy sumfor HMG.

Projections for the futureare always difficult but takingcurrent market trends intoaccount plus manufacturers',importers', wholesalers' andretailers' estimates, weestimate a growth of half amillion units per year after1982, that figure remainingfairly constant for at least thenext three years.

It is clear that some of thelarger retail names will pull outof the CB market before theend of this year. We alsoanticipate that the specialist

Here are some facts andfigures for you to considerregarding the first twomonths of legal CB in thiscountry, until December 31st19B 1.

From the variousmanufacturers and importerswe've spoken to, we estimatethat there were about300,000 legal FM rigs in theUK before Christmas. Wereckon that about 200,000rigs were sold before thatdate, the remainder being inwarehouses or unsold ondealers' shelves.

The Home Office figuresfor CB licences issued beforeChristmas show that justunder 100,000 people tookthe trouble to go 100% legal;we put the revenue from CBlicences to just under£1,000,000. Further incomefrom VAT I import duty, etcbased on a figure of 200,000rigs with an average retailprice of £70, comes to aroundanother £2.5 to three millionpounds. Taken with licenceincome, we make that £3.5 tofour million pounds in justunder two months, not badeh?

Chelsea CB Centre are proud to announce the arrival ofthe Interceptor TC 300 Mobile CB Transceiver, the firstmodel of the all new British designed CB equipment.Even the basic model has better specifications andperforms better than more expensive makes. Standardfeatures include cross wire protection: If you connect thepower leads in reverse by mistake, no damage will occurto your transceiver. Without this protection your setwould be reduced to a smoking box and your guaranteevoid. An expensive mistake. SWR protection is essentialbecause CB antennas have to be tuned into thetransceiver. If a bad mismatch occurs this overloads theoutput transistor causing irreparable damage.

UPDATEStingray LaunchedRemember C-Brit, they're thepeople who developed theFerroline 2 7, one of the bestantennas we've seen but un­fortunately non-compatiblewith the UK antenna specs.Not to be outdone - C-Britdeveloped a legal magmountbase-loaded mobile antennacalled the Whiplash, and now,a new product called theStingray, a purpose built, fullylegal home base antenna.

We're hoping to put asample of the Stingraythrough our gruelling AntennaReview test when we canclear the snow from the officeroof and we'll be reporting onthe outcome in due course. Inthe meantime, here are a fewdetails on the Stingray.

The device is basically a1 .5 metres omni-directionalbase-loaded antenna that willtune from 27.6 to 28 MHz,AM or FM. The Stingray canhandle up to 500 walls withSWR or 1 .5: 1 at band centre.The ground-plane radials areconstructed from fouraluminium tubes, plated toresist corrosion. The antennacomes complete with fittingsbut not cable and plug and theasking price is a rather pricey£45. We'll let you knowwhether or not it's worth it inthe coming months. In themeantime if you feel tempted,the Stingray should just aboutbe in your local CB shop bynow or in case of difficultycontact C-Brit direct at: Unit3.5, Wembley CommercialCentre, East Lane, Wembley,Middlesex.

Therig is fairly straightforward, ithas all the necessary basiccontrols including RF gain,plus a couple of unnecessaryones like an LED display dim­mer.

Hold-Me-TiteHermetite, those well-knownmanufacturers of the redsticky stuff you daub on yourcar engine, have come up witha clear silicone sealer to smearover your antenna adjustingrings. That's right, theHermetite Clear Sealer can beused to make your CB antennatamper-proof. Once you'veadjusted the SWR, simplycoat the rings with the sealerand forget it. Should you needto re-adjust your twig, thesealer can be easily removed.

Hermetite also reckonthat the clear sealer can beused for making instant grom­mets (sounds like somethingyou catch from sitting onwarm radiators - Ed) andholding coax cables in placeas they go through metalbulkheads. Not only that but itcan be used to seal wind­screens and act as a usefulgeneral adhesive. Wewouldn't be at all surprised tolearn that it can be used tocure toothache and evenmend broken legsl

Clear sealer is availablefrom all leading motor ac­cessory shops for around£1.84. Clearly a better sealer.

The theme this month ishand-held or portable CB

rigs. After our highlypopular feature in theJanuary issue, we've

been deluged withhundreds of enquiries ­

we try to answer justsome of them.

Straight into our Star Letter this month,M Mager from Chester wins an ex­clusive sewwon-patch for this thought­provoking question.

a I bet this one makes you stop andthinkI If I made adipole out of two lIegal)base loaded antennas would it be a legalantenna?? (.;

A Yes, it didmeke us stop and think andaftermuch headscratching we came upwith the following. A dipole is generallymade up from two half-wave elementswhich at 27 MHz would be two polesapproximately 5 metres long. As themaximum lega/length for any radiatingelement is onl}' 1.5 metres this is clearlyimpossible. However, we did go on toconsider your suggestion for two tunedradiating elements lie base loadedwhips), back to back - one acting 8Sthe radiator and one acting 8S thegroundplane - and we reckon thiswould work, but only 8S well 8S 8purpose-built base station antenna; theradiating element will still only be 1.5metres long. Nice try though. Any othersuggestions for legally improving uponthe specs?

An irate letter from Mr Neil Pagehighlights the popularity of CB Q & A.Bear with us please and we'll do our bestto answer all your questions.

a This Is the THIRD time I've written toyou, can I please have an answer to myquestion?

I have been using the Base StationP5U design publlshad In the January 'B 1Issue, The unit works very well but I nowwant to run 8 sideband unit so I need atleast 6 amps and maybe a bit more torun my rig. What components do I haveto change as I want to continue usingthlsP5U?

A The CBPSU was designed to deliver 3amps maximum and unfortunately, thecomponents which need to be changedmean that you would have to almost re­buildit. It wouldbe far cheaper for you tobuyanewPSU.

P.S. Sorryabout the delay.

We're not proud; when someone asks aquestion we do our best to answer it,even if it is about the competition.Robert Sutherland has this to say:

a Could you please give me the addrassof Practical Wlralass as advertised inyourmag?

A It's gratifying to see that a rivalwireless mag actually advertises withus, though to be fa;', they're more intoamateur radio. However, I digress, PWcan be found at: Westover House, WestQuay Road, Poole, Dorset, and don'tforget to tell them we sent you.

PS Bratheridge from Birmingham has aquestion about recording· iegal CBtransmissions.

a I have a cassette recorder which has a'remote' socket and I was wondering IfIt would be possible for me to racordsome of my legal copies by connecting Itup to the external speaker socket of myrig?

A Direct recording in this way is possi­ble but, as with all things in this life,things 'aintso easy as theyseem.

The firstproblem you're likely to en­counter will be input signal versus out­put signal level. The external speakerjack on most CB rigs can deliver the fulloutput as supplied to the rigs internalspeaker and that can be up to 2 watts.The input levels required by mostcassette recorders is in the order ofseveral milliwatts (maybe even less), sothere is a good chance you'l! overloadthe input making lat best! a verydistorted recording and, at worst, adamaged tape recorder. Dne possiblesolution is to experiment with outputlevels - try making a direct recordingwith the rig's volume controlatabsoluteminimum. If there is no signal on therecording you can try increasing thevolume very slightly until you find theright/evel.

The most practical alternative wecan think of is to simply record from therig's loudspeaker using the recorder'smicrophone - it'll certainly be a lotsafer.

A It's difficult to say, but in generalterms a portable CB running fromalkaline batteries with more than acouple of watts output will draw up tohalf an amp in the transmit mode. Asyou will only be transmitting for a fewseconds at a time the current drain is inthe form of short sharp surges, If youwere to transmit continuously, then thebatteries wouldn't last for more than tenminutes or so. With the rig in receivemode picking up short copies every fewseconds, the current drain is probablynomore than 50 to 100 milliamps onaverage. Taking these two figures intoaccount with perhaps an hour a day ofoperation the batteries would probablylast for a week or so - longer with lessfrequent usage. The best compromise isto invest in a setofrechargable batteriesand a charger. An initial outlay ofabout£25, wouldbe repaidafter a few weeksof normal operation - a set of tenalkaline batteries can cost up to £4. 00.You'll also benefit from rhe slightlygreater capacity of NiCad batteries.

A The external antenna socket on the410 is a simple jack socket. The innerconductor from the antenna coax goesto the tip of yourjack plug and the outerbraid goes to the jack plug body.Remember to fUlly retract the telescopicantenna on the 410 when using an ex­ternal antenna as the SWR will beaffected. The 410 will run quite happilyfrom a cigar socket, though be preparedfor a loud buzz on the audio as this andmost other portables have little ornothing in the way of interferencesupression.

a I have the 40 channel Harvard 41 0hand-held rig. I would like to mount anextension speaker on to this unit and useit mobile in my car. Also, can the rig bepowered from the cigar socket of mycar? - N Tennent. London.

a I have the Harrier WT2 portable.Would It be possible to mount It on mybicycle using the frame as the groundplane? - A RParsons, Somerset.

A Not really, as the bicycle framedoesn't have enough mass for an or­dinary antenna. However, you could tryexperimenting with the AvantiAstrofantom which is designed for usewith glass·fibre cars. This needs only avary low mass groundplane, usually themetallic strip on the windscreen sur·round.

scaleI To be fair to Halfords, manyother well-known rigs use identicalmeter movements, and suffer from ex­actly the same problem,

Moving along to the right, there is abank of switches slightly recessed intothe front panel. The first switch is athree position tone control (Hi, Medand La!. followed by the CB/PAchangeover switch. This permits theaudio amplifier to be used as a low­powered public address system whenconnected to a suitable speaker, In thismode the transmitter is inhibited andthe channel indicator display is blank­ed. Next along is a dimmer switch (ofwhich more anon), followed by a Chan­nel9 priority switch. This switch forcesthe rig on to channel 9 (the emergencychannel! regardless of the position ofthe channel selector switch. In thismode, the channel indicator display isalso forced to read 9. The final switch isa delta tune control. Moving this switchaway from its central position swingsthe receiver tuning slightly high or lowin frequency to assist in receiving off­frequency transmitters. It can also beuseful in minimising interference fromillegal AM/SSB equipmentl

Finally on the top right is the LEDchannel indicator display. This is flank­ed on either side by Tx and Rx indicatorlights. Like most red LED displays, thisis clear and easy on the eyes in normaland subdued lighting but tends to getobliterated by strong sunlight. Conse-

With CB rapidly ac­quiring an unac­customed air ofrespectabili~y, rigsare starting tobecome available

from some surprising quarters. One ofthe most dramatic entries into the fieldof mass suppliers is Halfords, the caraccessory suppliers. The Halfordsrange will be quite wide, consisting ofseveral models from the Binatonerange, plus a couple of their own. Thesubject of this review is the BarracudaHB 940. one of Halfords own brandmodels.

Currently selling for £89.95, thisrig is squarely aimed at the mid-to­upper end of the market. Measuring8.5" deep, 7.1· wide and 2.5" high,this is quite a large rig. You will need tofind a reasonable amount of spaceunder your dash to get it in! The stylingis ... well, er, let's be kind and call itfunctionall The main case is traditionalcrackle finish black, while the frontpanel is plain black plastic with whitelettering. Starting at the top left handcorner of the front panel, we find a con­ventional illuminated Signal/RF meter.It is quite a large meter, calibrated fromo to + 30 on the signal strength scaleand from 0 to 5 watts on the RF scale,What a pity that all this information isalmost unreadable at normal viewingdistances, as the red pointer is almosttotally invisible against the black meter

quently the dimmer switch is slightlysuperfluous. All the switches have anice feel to them, but are somewhatclose together for 'fumble~free'opera­tion. The fact that they are slightlyrecessed doesn't help here either.Eliminating that dimmer switch wouldallow the remaining switches to bespaced a little better.

Moving to the bottom left-handcorner, we find the microphone socket.HOORAYI A microphone socket whereit ought to be; on the FRONT (still thewrong side though). Award five bonuspoints to Halfordsl The microphoneconnector itself is a five pin DIN con­nectar. Many people prefer theAmerican type four pin connectorswith a locking ring but we have neverfound any particular advantage ineither method. Moving off to the rightare four knobs for Mic. gain. RF gain,Volumet Off and Squelch. Once againall the controls feel quite nice but theorder seems a little bit illogicaL Tryingto find the volume/on-off switch fromamong the others under the recesses ofthe dash on a dark night with a blackfront panel can lead to a certain amountof fumbling! On the extreme right-handside is a large knob for channel selec­tion.

Going round to the rear panel, wefind a three pin polarised socket for the13V2 volt DC supply and immediatelyunder it, 3.5 mm jack sockets for ex­tension speaker and PA speaker. In themiddle is a slide switch to bring in the1OdS attenuator and finally, a standardSO 259 antenna socket.

TechnicalitiesOpening up the box reveals a Cybernet134 series chassis. This chassis israpidly establishing itself as one of theall·time classics of RF design. It isfound in a number of rigs which havealready established an excellentreputation, both with suppliers andusers alike. The quality of constructionis well up to Cybernet's usual stan­dards.

The synthesiser is the Sanyo7136/7 singie crystal device. Thisdevice makes generating the UK 40channels so easy that it makes youwonder why some other manufac­turers bother with anything different!

The transmitter line-up is fairlyconventional. The Voltage ControlledOscillator (VCOI is controlled by twovaricap diodes, one being the PLL con­trol element, the other providing themoduiating element. The VCO outputis doubled and then buffered before be­ing fed to the driver transistor and final­iythe PA stage (Power Amplifier, not tobe confused with the Public AddressSysteml).

A generous amount of filtering isapplied between each stage and a par­ticularly comprehensive filter is placedbetween the PA transistor and theaerial socket. This is a reflection of theextremely tight Home Office specifica­tion; far tighter than is required in theUSA for example. The 1OdS attenuatoris applied by switching in or out a pair ofresistors in the emitter of the drivertransistor thus varying the power out-

-put.

The antenna feed to the receiver istapped off from the Tx low pass filterand fed via a small capacitor to thereceiver input tuned circuit. There is noantenna switching between Tx and Rx,protection for the receiver being pro­vided by a pair of back to back diodesacross the input-tuned circuit.

The RF amplifier consists of abipolar NPN transistor running in thecommon·base mode. RF gain control iseffected by varying the DC bias on thebase of the transistor. Althoughcommon-base operation is quite com­mon in communications applications, itis not very usual in CB applications andindicates that perhaps more thoughtthan is usual has gone into the prepara­tion of this rig I This is confirmed by thenext stage, the first mixer. Instead ofthe usual single transistor mixer, wefind a balanced mixer consisting of apair of NPN transistors. Nicel The firstIF (1 0.695 MHzl is double filtered in LCcircuits before being fed to a ceramicroofing filter. There is no amplificationof the 10.695 MHz IF, the output ofthe ceramic filter being fed straight tothe second mixer.

The second mixer is a simple singletransistor running in the common emit­ter mode. The second IF is 455 KHzand it is at this stage that the bulk ofselectivity takes place. Selectivity isprovided by a ceramic ladder filter. It isgratifying to see that the ceramic filteris properly matched by a transformer.Many designs eliminate the matchingtransformer in the mistaken belief thatthe ceramic filter will provide all thenecessary selectivity. Althoug hceramic filters can provide excellentselectivity, they can and do suffer fromspurious responses. These can bealmost entirely eliminated by the pro·per use of matching transformers. The455 KHz IF is amplified in two furthertransistor stages before being splitthree ways by a transformer. One feedgoes to a rectifier to drive the meter.The second is rectified to providesquelch and AGC (I J feeds. The thirdfeed goes off to an IC which appears tobe a limiting amplifier and quadraturedetector. The audio is fed from the

detector to an audio amp IC.The use of an AGC is rather

unusual in an FM receiver. In this in­stance it provides a more conventionalmeter display than is found in some FMreceivers. The AGC is also applied tothe first mixer and this probably ac­counts for the very high immunity to'bleed-over' of this design. Themicrophone output is fed via a tran­sistor pre-amp to the audio amp IC, theoutput of which is then sampled andrectified by a diode. The DC outputfrom the diode is used to control a tran­sistor which in turn controls the gain ofthe transistor pre-amp. The result of allthis is that the audio circuits have anautomatic gain control which holds theaudio output relatively constant. This isparticularly beneficial in the transmitmode as the audio fed to the modulatorwill be held fairly constant over a widerange of input levels. Speech pro­cessors and power mikes are unlikelyto provide any benefit to this sort of cir·cuitl In the Tx mode, two futher op­amps provide additional filtering beforethe modulator diode.

All in all, the circuit showsevidence that a great deal of thought,not to mention practical experience,has gone into its concept and execu~

tion.The transmitter power output was

measured at 3.9 watts at 13.2 volts.The 10 dB attenuator reduced this by12 dB, a little more than is strictlynecessary but better safe than sorrylThe second harmonic was 7 5 dB downon the fundamental, 3 dB better thanrequired by HO specs. All otherspurious outputs were better than80 dB down, also better than requiredby the regulations. The deviation wasmeasured as ± 1.5 KHz. However,during the course of our tests we cameupon another Barracuda owner whoserig was only deviating ± 1 KHz, a littlebit on the low side resulting in slightlyfaint modulation at the receive end.The channel frequencies were within40 Hz of nominal in the worst case, atruly remarkable achievement!

The receiver sensitivity measuredabout 0.3 uV which was beginning toapproach the limits of the test equip-

will be detected by the receiver. Theend result is that under some condi­tions you can clearly hear conversa­tions several channels away. The cluethat you are suffering from cross-modis that, although the recovered audio isclear, the signal-strength reading iszero! This has nothing to do with theselectivity of the receiver but is due toshortcomings in the design of either theRF stage or one of the mixers.

The Barracuda is extremely goodin this respect. Throughout our tests itnever exhibited any tendency to suffercross-mod. Under very strong signalconditions there was a slight amount ofde-sensitising but the interference hadto be within a few yards to produce thiseffectl When running in our electricallynoisy test vehicle, a small amount ofignition crackle was noticeable but notsufficient to cause any serious prob­lems.

The quality of transmission wasgood and clear and many of the signalreports received were very complimen­tary. The internal speaker was quitegood and coped well even in a noisyvehicle, although better results wereobtained with a larger external speaker.

The squelch worked well, thoughwith no hysteresis. When operatinginto a large external speaker as a home­base, this resulted in a pronouncedrumbling when the squelch was on theverge of operating. This effect cannotbe heard on the internal speakerbecause of the poorer bass response.Despite this, the Barracuda makes anexcellent base station rig, the good per­formance and comprehensive controlscombining to provide a fine overallbalance.

In conclusion then, the Barracudais something of a rough diamond: ex­cellent performance in a somewhatplain wrapping. CB

------)

On The RoadThe Barracuda was run through ourusual selection of test vehicles plus aspell running as a Home Base installa­tion.

As stated earlier, this is quite alarge rig, requiring a fair bit of space forinstallation. Many modern Europeancars have fully enclosed dashes whichdon't leave a lot of room for bulky ac­cessoriesl The Barracuda comes com­plete with all necessary mounting hard­ware, so there are no problems here.

The switches are a little too closetogether for comfort and placing thevolume/on-off switch in the middle ofthe row makes blind operation whilemobile a little bit fiddly. However, thecontrols are smooth and progressive inaction which helps considerably. Themicrophone gain control produced thebest results when left fully clockwiseand it was left in this positionthroughout the tests. The receiver wasextremely sensitive as the earliermeasurements had indicated. Never­theless, it proved remarkably immuneto 'bleed-over'. In our data panel youwill find a section marked 'swamping'.This covers not only immunity to bleedover from nearby transmitters but alsoimmunity from cross-modulation.Cross-modulation is an effect whichcan occur when several powerfultransmissions arrive simultaneously atthe receiver input. If these transmis­sions are spaced just the right amounteither side of the receiver frequency,they can mix together in the receiverfront end and produce an output that

ment used to measure it! 59 on themeter measured about 60 uV and withboth squelch and RF gain set at max­imum, the squelch opened at 18 uV.

leading CB personality has hismonthly moan - this time on the' use

and abuse of the three callingchannels. Mack also looks at

emergency monitoring in London.Did you know that there were suggestions published foroperating codes and practices for CI;l7 These codes wereproduced by the Home Office in co-operation with NAT­COLCIBAR and were published in the November issue ofthis magazine, so I expect you may have read them.

Amongst the suggestions were ideas for channel useand, as in the old AM system, channel nine was recom­mended for emergencies, one-four the calling channel andone-nine for conversations among travellers on mainroads.

So now we'll see if you have taken that all inllfyou aremobile and want a 10-13 on a particular stretch of road,what channel should you,use7 Well done, 10 out of 10,channel 19. So tell me why do I hear on the one-four something like this: "14, 14 for a 10-13 Old Kent Road east­boundl" A breaker's call will be answered by the parrotslike this: "Hoop La, Hoop La, you on the 14 Hoop La, youon the 147" (repeat about 10 times without stopping forbreath). This is instantly followed by "Copy Cat, Copy Catdo you copy on the 14" (again repeat five or six ti'1'es, notpausing for breath or leaving any gaps). Even if Hoop La orCopy Cat were on the 14, the callers would never knowbecause they don't get a chance to answer. As for thebreaker wanting a 10-1 3 on the Old Kent Road, by now hedoesn't care any more because he is either stuck in a hold­up, or the road was·clean and green and he's now in New

. Cross calling for a 10-1 :newisham way.Being a well·travelled person around London and its

suburbs, I find that this hap·pens in most areas. I hear frompeople I talk to on the channels that this is a common pro­blem in other parts of this country too. Yet on some motor­ways, the breakers do occasionally use channel 19 for10-13s, so why not in towns7 The first argument I get isthat channel 19 is the truckers' channel. Well I say; rub­bish'. If we again turn to the operating code of conduct,channel 19 is a traveller's channel. So what if a bloke ispushing a 14-wheeler from Covent Garden to the super­market in the high street, or a guy in an Escort van is on atrip from Southampton to Luton with a load of anything oreven a rep from his work's base 20 in Reading is visiting acustomer in Dover, does that mean that only the14-wheeler has the right to use channel 197 Come off it,even the fellow taking his mum home from one side oftown to the other has a right to use channel 19 for traffic in­formation.

Surely the trucker as well as the van driver doing hisdaily deliveries or just the guy going to and from work hasthe right to know the traffic conditions. Each one needs theother for heip. In the old AM days if you listened on the one­nine as I did when mobile - apart from odd traffic reports- the channel was kept clear. The truckers did at times usethe channel for a breaking call but would then removethemselves to another frequency to modul~te. If they didnot, they were soon politely and s'ometimes not sQ politely

CITIZENS' BAND MARCH t982

told to move.A few weeks ago during one

of the periods of real wintery weather,I was surprised to find that 19 was beingused as it should. 10-1 3s were being requested and the in­formation passed back where possible with other chatterkept to a minimum. At last I thought we are getting themessage but it did not last, for as the weather cleared sodid the one·nine and during our latest bout of snow one·four was again being used forthe 10-1 3s.

Over in West London a group of breakers issue roadand travelling conditions for home-bound motorists duringthe evening rush-hours. Well done, all you people concern­ed - you are doing an excellent service. But why do youuse channel 177 I agree that the regular motorists in yourarea know about you but what about the stranger whowould find your service even more of an aid. They don'tknow that you are on the one·seven, that's why you haveto keep coming down to 14 telling other breakers 'If you re·quire traffic information come to channel 17'. As I saidbefore, a super service but please could you use channel197

As I'm in the mood for moaning, let's look at our so­called emergency channel 9. It seems that every otherbreaker I talk to is a Thames monitoring station. It's nice tohear that all these willing breakers are keen to monitor thechannel 9 for emergencies but when do they monitor thechannel7 In the small hours of the morning, or maybe dur­ing the afternoon7 It seems not. How about the evenings7Yes, that's a more likely time - when everybody else is do·ing the sameI Most people have to work or go to school andat night they like to get their eight or nine hours sleep, sothe evenings are as good a time as any to do one's bit forCB; as a result we have lots of monitoring stations on thechannel 9 at this time. When a 10-33 comes in, all thesekeen stations swamp the channel attempting to take thecall. I have heard arguments between these stations slagg­ing one another off and claiming that the call is theirsl Othertimes when a 10-33 comes in, some of the stations doubtthe authenticity of the emergency and discussions com­mence whether the call is a wind-up or not. As I listen onchannel 9 I sometimes wonder if it's another calling chan­nel for the monitoring stations. Also, when a 10·33 is suc­cessfully taken, discussions again develop on the successand they continue for quite a while congratulatingthemselves on the emergency channel. I personally believethat the answer to this is training - train these monitor sta­tions on how to monitor and the procedure involved. Also,duty rosters should be drawn up and the area co-ordinatorshould be responsibleforthis.lt may sound as if I'm knock­ing the monitoring organisations but I believe we do need aservice that works, because at the present time it'sbedlam. Just for the record, my Thames unit No is LB 1B1.As a post script, I hear even as I write that there aremeetings being organised for the Thames units; it could bethe start of the efficiently run service we need.

We begin a new seriesthis month, devoted to

Channel 9 monitoryorganisations. Each

organisation and let themhave their say. MervynPammant, REACT area

co-ordinator for the EastAnglia area, sets the ball

rolling.

There cannot be too manybreakers around who havenot heard of a 10-33, theemergency call forassistance on Citizens'Band radio.

Whe ther you take on the respon­sibility of dealing competently with thatcall for help, crying out from the depthsof your rig, is entirely another matter. Itcan be a heart-stopping, unnervingment when you realise you provide theonly link that could mean the differencebetween life or death to someone introuble.

Many CB operators all over thecountry have taken on that responsibili­ty and have joined REACT UK (RadioEmergency Associated Citizens'Teams); the voluntary organisationwhose members are dedicated tomonitoring Channel 9 - the emergencychannel - to help other users with pro­blems.

REACT UK, while a member ofREACT International which is based inAmerica, is a service run bv British

citizens for the benefit of Britishcitizens. The British organisationbenefits from the 20 years monitoringexperience of REACT team members inthe United States which have beenadapted to the particular conditions inthis country.

However, like all embryonicorganisations, REACT needs moremembers - more volunteers willing togive up a few hours of their time tomonitor their CB when, perhaps, theymight prefer to be talking to friends. It isonly in this way that REACT UK will beable to provide a 24-hour, year-roundwatch covering the whole of Britain sothat wherever a CB user may be, he orshe can be reassured that help is near.

As you see, REACT has set itselfhigh ideals. It is a help organisationprepared to deal with problems largeand small. Its monitors will react to allcalls for asistance on Channel 9 on thebasis that the caller wouldn't be thereunless he or she needed help - evensomething as seemingly irrelevant as a

edto pay £3.50subscription 1£3.00foradditional members of the same family)annually to REACT UK headquarters. Inaddition, each team will pay a once onlyfee of £10 for the charter giving theteam the right to operate under the ban­ner of REACT.

Other voluntary monitoring ser­vices pride themselves on requiring nojoining fee. Attractive to potentialrecruits perhaps but a difficult operationtofund, I would imagine.

REACT UK believes that for anational organisation to be efficient, itmust be adequately funded. Even a non- profit making public service organisa­tion like REACT needs funds to providesuitable liaison facilities for its teams,necessary literature, training guides,manuals, monitoring sheets and trainingservices for monitors. The money is cer­tainly never wasted!

Compare REACT's £3.50 to thesubs payable to a CB Club and you'll findit is usually a lot less than a club will de­mand and for your money you will get alot more than the pleasure of drinking ina public housei

InsuranceThe £ 10 charter fee is almost swallow­ed up by the cost of REACT's uniquethird party insurance policy to protect itsmembers against any third party claimsthat may arise frolll their dealings withincidents while monitoring.

As a member of a REACT team youcan help fellow CB users and the generalpublic at large with just a little effortevery week. You will be joining like­minded breakers in a new CB 'club' onwhich other breakers will come to rely.You will betheir lifeline.

Monitoring is the serious, essentialbut satisfying side of CB radio. If youthink you've got what it takes to join aREACT team or to form your own team,write to: REACT UK. 142 LutterworthRoad, Nuneaton, Warwickshire CVL 16PE ITel: 0203-3830051.

Each REACT team shouid become aself-contained home-based and mobilecommunications unit. While its primaryaim is to monitor the emergency chan­nel, a local REACT team's communica­tions expertise can also be used to mar­shall, for instance, the town's carnivalprocession. There are many areas inwhich REACT UK has been and willbecome effective..

Its members are expected to besensible, responsible men and women,18 years~old or over, who can displaytheir commonsense - required whensituations become fraught with panicand fear - people who can think on theirfeet, making cool, concise decisions.

Not a job for you? You would besurprised what you can do with the helpand training REACT UK can give you. Ifthere is a REACT team in your area, getin touch with the team chairman andpop along to one of its regular meetings.You might be amazed at the kind of peo­ple, from all different walks of life, whoare involved.

If there is no local team, why not setabout forming one yourself? If youbelong to a CB Club, you may prefer toform a team from within its member­ship. Otherwise, any individual can gettogether a group of like-minded folk ­five is the minimum number - and applyto become a REACT team.

Contacting REACT headquarters(details later) will bring you a teamregistration document and details of thecounty and area officials in your district.Don't hesistate to get in touch withthem for they are only too willing tohelp.

Forming A TeamWhat do you need to form a team? Eachmember must have legal CB equipmentand, most important, a telephone in thehome for making contact with theemergency authorities or service agen­cy required. Plus, of course, a valid CBoperator's licence.

Each member of a team will be ask-

PolicySince it has adopted a policy of monitor­ing the frequencies legalised by theGovernment, REACT UK has built up agreat deal of respect with the emergen­cy service authorities and other bodies.The recent bad weather, for example,has done much to forge links betweenREACT monitors and statutoryorganisation. REACT UK teams are alsoprepared to assist the authorities onmissing persons searches, crimeprevention, and in time of local or na­tional disaster when other communica­tion services are not operable.

request for the time may be important toa person who has to take medication atspecific hours of the day. As theorganisation expands covering servicessuch as road conditions, road hazards,diversions, serious traffic jams, railaccidents, boating emergencies, crimereports, flood, medical and familyemergencies; monitors will findthemselves dealing with serious roadaccidents, providing a fast link betweenthe emergency authorities andsometimes having to calm downhysterical callers to extract the properinformation.

Rig Check 2 this monthlooks at the Fidelity

2000FM, one of thevery first multi-function

rigs on the market. Ataround £90 it has a lot

to live up to, we think itcould be a winner.

,..,I

After only a couple of

- _ months, one or two nameshave become synonymouswith UK CB. Probably thefirst and stiil one of themost popular makes of FM

CB rigs is Fidelity, a good solid namefrom a good solid British company ­though Fidelity are the first to admitthat their CB rigs are far from British.Thus far, Fidelity have two UK FM rigson the market, the unremarkable,though weil received and very popular,CB 1000FM and the up-marketCB2000FM. The latter being the sub­ject of this months' Rig Check.

The CB 2000FM weighs in ataround £90; a reasonable price for a rigof this class, though be warned, wehave seen 2000FMs seiling for up­wards of £ 150 and at that price it's a

rip-offl The rig has eight front panelcontrols; three switches control chan­nel 9 priority, tone control and LEDdisplay dimmer. Rotary controls in­clude Volume-On/Off, Squelch/PA,Microphor.e Gain, RF Gain and ChannelSeiector, The two displays are red LEDchannel display and S/RF edgewisemeter. The microphone socket is halfright, it's on the front panel, which ismore than can be said for a lot of otherrigs. On the back, there are the usualsockets for antenna, extension

speaker, PA speaker and power lead,plus a siider switch for 10dB at­tenuator .

So far so good. The styling on the2000 is a fairly distinguished mixtureof chrome knobs and black/grey panelsand certainly wouldn't be mistaken foranything other than a CB rig, The rigcomes complete with fitting kit andvery comprehensive instructions, plusof course, the manual microphonia andPTT SWitch, but we shouldn't have toteil you that these should be standardfitting on ail mobile CB rigs.

In ActionContrary to many unsubstantiatedrumours, Fidelity have had no moreproblems than any other manufacturer.

Of course rigs fail, it is only to be ex­pected with such complicatedtechnology. However, Fidelity havetaken no chances with the 2000, everysingle unit is tested prior to dispatchand it seems to have paid off. Ourreview samples we're treated to thekind of abuse in just a couple of weeksthat most rigs might never suffer in awhole lifetime and we're happy toreport our 2000s came throughunscathed. Reports from otherbreakers confirmed that transmittedcopy was both clear and wellmodulated. Signal strength reportsback up our power readings of a true 4watts RF from the antenna socket. The

favourite middle·market rig, the YorkJCB 863. We were particularly im­pressed with the 2000's ruggednessand uncluttered control panel. If thereis any criticism of this rig then it has tobe the badly sited mike socket, but tobe fair to Fidelity, this is not a crime inwhich they are the only guilty party. Todate only two manufacturers have gotit right, and their rigs cost significantlymore than £90.

receiver section of the rig was bothsensitive and highly selective, able toreject strong transmissions on adjacentchannels. We have yet to put the2000FM through our completeworkshop tests but if the field testresults are anything to go by, the2000FM is a very capable rig,reasonably priced and very well buiit.

For around £90 the 2000FM is aworthy competitor to our current

Worried about fitting aCB antenna to your car?

Apart from the extraholes, it is an open

invitation to villains,telling everyone that

you have a CB in yourcar. This month we look

at a gadget which themanufacturers claim

will turn any ordinarycar radio into a CBantenna - we put

these claims to the test.

SO far, Antenna Review hasonly been looking at pur­pose-built CB antennas. Thismonth, by way of a change,we look at a device themanufacturers claim will

turn any ordinary car radio aerial into aCB antenna. Bold claims. We decidedto put them to the test.

The Hythe Electronics CB AerialEliminator is a fairly unremarkable look­ing black box with two cables comingout of it. The box itself is fairlyfeatureless except for a socket, twoholes and a two position slider switchmarked CB and Radio, We decided totreat the unit as we would any reviewantenna, ie subject to our combinedfield and lab tests with a variety of dif­ferent vehicles, rigs and locations.

Fitting the eliminator took fiveminutes, it bolts neatly to any conve-

nient part of the dashboard and one ofthe two flying leads plugs straight intothe rig's antenna socket. The secondflying lead plugs into the car radio aerialsocket. The lead from the car aerialplugs into the socket on the top of theeliminator.

With the unit fitted into place youcan carry out the SWR adjustmentswith a meter in-line, between theeliminator and the rig. Two adjustingscrews in the unit are alternately twid·died to give progressively lowerreadings. We were able to get the SWRdown to below 1.3:1 onchannel20oneveryone of our test antennas. We didfind that the SWR should be checkedover the whole band as the readingcould be well below 1,3: 1 on channel20 say, yet rise alarmingly above 3: 1on channel 40.

The Tests

We have used our standard test procedure to assess the efficiency of this antenna.Just to bring new readers up to date this involves two tests; one static and one mobile.Our test sample is fitted to a stationary mobile and a second mobile follows a pre­arranged route that orbits the stationary test vehicle. sending and receiving signalreports at measured intervals. This is then repeated with the test antenna on themobile test vehicle and the signals are sent and received between a stationery vehicle.A standard rig and antenna is used in all the tests. With the results obtained we are ableto draw up the radiation pattarn shown here. This is simplified to make the resultsmore easily understood. The antenna is also subjected to a series of 'lab' tests toass,ss their durabilitv. quality and construction, etc and finally we hand it over to apanel of CBers for comment.

sometimes meant that you had tosettle for a higher SWR, as high as1.8: 1 in one case, but at least it wastoo low to do any damage. ...

We found that the physical size ofthe car had a bearing on the SWA, moreso than the antenna used. In generalthe larger the car, the lower the SWR.However, with some of the shorter caraerials the SWA was much harder totrim, requiring repeated adjustments tothe SWA adjusting screws in the unit.The moral therefore seemed to be thatthe eliminator was happiest with alarge car and a large aerial. We suspectthat a Mini and a coathanger aerialmight not SWR very satisfactorily.

As far as operation was concern­ed, there were no real surprises. To befrank we didn't expect the unit to workas well as a purpose-built CB antenna,though the feeling was that it workedmuch better than some of our reviewteam expected. In comparison to a welldesigned mag-mount (K40, Bandit,Dial-A-Match, etc, etc) the combina­tion of the aerial eliminator and a basictelescopic aerial would be about twothirds as efficient. This would rise if theaerial in question was over two feetlong or if it was mounted centrally onthe car roof. .

There are a couple of things towatch for when using this unit. First,the condition of the car aerial. A dirty,rusty or broken ca.r aerial will producepoor results. Second, the aerial has to-'be fully extended each time as the SWRwill vary dramatically, possibly to adangerously high reading which coulddamage. the rig. We thought it prudentto keep the SWA meter in circuit to re­mind us that the SWA should never goabove 3: 1.

In conclusion, the Hythe Elec­tronics aerial eliminator is not asubstitute for a well-designed CBantenna. However, if you are preparedto sacrifice a drop in range, albeit slightfor local communications, then it has alot going for it. It enables a totallydiscreet CB installation which will notattract light-fingered individuals; thereis no way anyone would suspect thatyour vehicle is fitted with a CB, It is aviable and economic alternative to a CBantenna - you'll pay a few poundsmore for a good CB antenna. It removesthe necessity to drill extra holes in yourcar body. The one disadvantage is thatyou cannot use the car radio and CBsimultaneously although we wouldalso have liked to see some protectionon the eliminator if, for instance, youkey the mike with the selector switch inthe car radio position. There is bound tobe a degree of loss with the 75 ohmcoaxial cable used on most car aerials.Hythe Electronics now suggest thatthis is replaced with 50 ohm CB coax­ial; it should make a significant dif­ference.

One last comment. The eliminatorsent to us for review was an earlydesign, manufactured in the Far East.Hythe now inform us that theeliminator will now be manufactured inthe UK to their own specification - oneup for the UK CB industry.

Of course rigs fail, it is only to be ex­pected with such complicatedtechnology. However, Fidelity havetaken no chances with the 2000, everysingle unit is tested prior to dispatchand it seems to have paid off. Ourreview samples we're treated to thekind of abuse in just a couple of weeksthat most rigs might never suffer in awhole lifetime and we're happy toreport our 2000s came throughunscathed. Reports from otherbreakers confirmed that transmittedcopy was both clear and wellmoduiated. Signal strength reportsback up our power readings of a true 4watts RF from the antenna socket. The

speaker, PA speaker and power lead,plus a slider switch for 10dB at­tenuator .

So far so good. The styling on the2000 is a fairiy distinguished mixtureof chrome knobs and black/grey paneisand certainly wouldn't be mistaken foranything other than a CB rig. The rigcomes complete with fitting kit andvery comprehensive instructions, plusof course, the manual microphon'a andPTT switch, but we shouldn't have toteil you that these should be standardfitting on ail mobile CB rigs.

In ActionContrary to many unsubstantiatedrumours, Fidelity have had no moreproblems than any other manufacturer.

After only a couple of

. . months, one or two nameshave become synonymouswith UK CB. Probably thefirst and still one of themost popular makes of FM

CB rigs is Fidelity, a good solid namefrom a good solid BritiSh company ­though Fidelity are the first to admitthat their CB rigs are far from BritiSh.Thus far, Fidelity have two UK FM rigson the market, the unremarkable,though well received and very popular,CB 1000FM and the up-marketCB2000FM. The latter being the sub­ject of this months' Rig Check.

The CB 2000FM weighs in ataround £90; a reasonable price tor a rigof this class, though be warned, wehave seen 2000FMs seiling for up­wards of £ 150 and at that price it's a

rip-offl The rig has eight front panelcontrols; three switches control chan­nel 9 priority, tone control and LEDdisplay dimmer. Rotary controls in­clude Volume-On/Off, Squelch/PA,Microphor.e Gain, RF Gain and ChannelSeiector. The two displays are red LEDchannel display and S/RF edgewisemeter. The microphone socket is halfright, it's on the front panel, which ismore than can be said for a lot of otherrigs. On the back, there are the usualsockets for antenna, extension

Rig Check 2 this monthlooks at the Fidelity

rigs on the market. Ataround £90 it has a lot

to live up to. we think itcould be a winner.

Rig Check

~I~~ ~ w

IIU

Our second Rig Checkthis month highlights the

Transcom GBX 4000.Roger Munford gives ushis first impressions on

this very compact rig. Afull lab test on this rig will

follow in due course.

One look at the TranscomInternational GBX 4000is probably all you'i1 needto realise that this is a verytine rig indeed. For me, itwas love at first sight.

And what a first sight. Smail, lightand compact, this 40-channel FM rigcertainly looks impressive. That basicchassis measures elf." wide. 2" highand 7 y." deep although you'i1 have toallow a further Y:z " at the rear of the unitto accommodate the antenna connectorand the power leads. If you're thinkingthat those specifications sound familiar,look no further than the two Amstradrigs.

Moving on to the front panel.... aah, the front panel. Lovely bit ofclass this, fashioned in metal with asmooth matt finish - no plastic in sight.Nice touch Transcom.

A comprehensive array of controlsgrace the front panel, Volume/Off,Squelch, Tone and RF Gain plus thechannel selector. On the left-hand sideof the panel are two switches, a PA/CBcontrol and a Channel~Nine priority(pretty strange this - it's labeiled'monitor'). Above the channel selector,to the right of the panel, are two LEDdisplays to indicate that the device is·transmitting and receiving correctly; theTx LED is red during transmission andthe Rx LED lights green when receiving.

Sited in the middle of the panel aretwo display windows side by side; thedisplay on the left is the S/RF meter andthe one on the right is the channel in­dicator.

Both meters are pretty exceptionalyou can actually read

them .... easily! The S/RF meter has a

red needle across a black strip all on awhite background which is illuminatedwhen the unit is switched on. The chan­nel indicator displays the channelnumber in large green characters.

Tested in the pitch dark (when theS/RF meter can never usually be read)and in the bright sunlight (when the LEDchannel dispiay usualiy washes out),both meters were highly legible. Rigmanufacturers take note.

Back to the controls, let me saythey are apleasure to adjust. The controlknobs are serrated and all have a verypositive feel to them making fine ad­justments very easy. The Volume/Offknob switches on with a good healthy'click' and the volume increases as thecontrol is advanced clockwise. The RFGain control works efficiently as doesthe Squelch control that elimiates allbackground noise.

One small complaint though, if aTone control is going to be included,why not have one that actually doessomething? It's not as if we're talkingabout studio-quality hi-fi, this is CBi !fiddled for a couple of minutes with thetone control and could make hardly anydifference to the tonal quality of the out­put. However, this minor point is madeup for by the channel selector. Here is anice, chunky control that, accompaniedby aseries of clicks, is simple to adjust.

The microphone supplied with therig is fairly unidistinguishable, thoughcompetent and plugs into the socket onthe ... yes, you've guessed, the left­hand side of the unit. You've all heard itbefore I know but why on earth do themanufacuturers insist on doing this for acountry with right -and drive vehicles.

Also Included on the GBX 4000 is aRoger Bleep facility.

The GBX 4000 comes completewith mounting bracket and fixingscrews and fairly comprehensiveowner's manual. This handbook in­cludes good explanations of the con­trols but I would have liked a little moretothe 'understanding SWR' chapter.

The price of the Transcom Interna­tional GBX 4000 is very competitive ­at £59.95, this rig is definitely one forthe short list.

We did a brief test square-wheeledin the office and it worked very well in­deed. The audio quality was good andboth Squelch and RF Gain controlsoperated satisfactorily. Reports fromlocal stations were highly complimen­tary and further tests indicated thatthere was no bleed-over between adja­cent channels.

More comprehensive tests werecarried out on mobile locations including

Comment

We have all he~rd himat some time oranother. We've satthere, microphonein hand, angly andimpotent to his

mindless tirade over the one-four. Sad­ly, with the advent of FM, he is one of agrowing band of wallies who spendseventy pounds or more on a CB rig sothat he can get his jollies by annoyinggenuine users of the service. He is, in allprobability, a failed flasher.

Anyway, you sit there, chokingthe life out of your power mike,frustrated beyond belief that you can­not get your call through to the'ActualAce' (who you know is sitting therewaiting for itl) because this noisy wallyis cluttering up the breaking channel.Lost, your only options are to switchoff or wander off around the channels.To argue or yell back only informs himthat he has an audience and boosts hismisguided feeling of power. You canonly hope that eventually he will tirehimself out - after all a brain that smallcannot hold too large 81 vocabulary,can it? - -

Just before you hit that off switchsome distant breaker, during a momen·tary delay in the string of expletives,asks the wally if his parents weremarried I

It must be supposed. in some way,that the swearing wally is a)lery sickperson akin to those ill people in everycommunity who misuse the telephoneservice. However, not so the pair ofwallies who hog the breaking channeland ignore or refuse all polite andtempered requests to 'clear it'. Thesewallies are simply 'juvenile' as in 'notgrown-up'. (No offence intended to themany junior breakers who ratchetaway and thoroughly enjoy using the10 code and follow the correct pro­cedure for CB.I

Let's skip the poor imitations ofJim Davidson, whose pretend West In­dian voices are just a small hiccup alonglife's highway and move on to themusic-loving wally who wishes toshare that love with other breakers,whether they like it or notl This so­called breaker keys his microphone, forlong periods, to a radio or record playerspeaker, thus again, rendering the one-

slang.

CITIZENS' BAND MARCH 19BZ

Welsh Meet Again . ..Dear CB,I was browsing through your Januaryissue and read the erticle on Welsh Rab­bit. I am writing to inform all youEnglish people who are a bit 10-1 onWelsh, that Citizens' Band Radio isknown as Radio'r Wenn. A Citizens'Bend Radio licence is known as Trydd­ad Radio'r Wenn which you correctlystated, but this (literally translated)means Licence Citizens' Band Radio.You also stated that CB radio wasknown as Trwydded Radio which is in­correct; this means Licence Radio. Sotherefore you literally translated it alsol

Anyway, all the high numbers.Tho Gonoral Saint,Cardiff.

The Bottom LineDoar CB,Are your readers (or potential readers)really such a bunch of mindless moronsthat they have to be wooed by coverslike the January issue7

Yes, I know the stock answer:what's the harm in a picture of a prettygirl?

Well, there's plenty of harm, ac­tually; this sort of cover seemsgenuinely degrading to a lot of people,because:a. It's obviously totally irrelevant to thesubject matter;b. It cheapens women;c. It encourages men to think ofwomen as objects to be bought andsold or, as your cover put it 'picked up'.

Please try to take a more responsi­ble attitude towards your readers. A lotof them are young people ­predominantly young men I shouldthink - and it would be nice if theycould be encouraged to think of the op­posite sex as people like themselves,not commodities.

Incidently, nude models commandvery high fees for their services. If youcan afford £300 or more for a view ofthe lady's bottom, why not lower the

price of the magazine instead?H Cohon,Herts.

(Have we got it right this time/- Ed.;

Keep That Handle!Dear CB,I completely disagree with GLBs's let­ter in the January Backchat. I thinkhandles are part of the fun in CB-ing.They are not childish and it is mucheasier to say your handle instead of amuddie of numbers and letters. It mightbe a help in emergencies, but then howmany times do you find someonebreaking on channel 9 for help who is insuch trouble that you have to teil hisfamily? I am sure most breakers willkeep to using handles.Moontiger,West Sussex.

Calling All CrooksDear CB,May I reply to GLB's letter in yourJanuary issue? Well Mr GLB, I feelstrongly in respect to your commentsabout - as you say - breaker's inaneand childish handles.

First, I would poi!1t out that if itwere not for these people with theirhandles who, like myself, have been onthe air for a long time, I doubt if youwould have a legalised FM systemnow. Like thousands of other breakes, Iam proud of my handle and will con­tinue to use it.

Regarding your other proposal re:Postcodes, etc. What you may notrealise is that your Postcode more-or­less pinpoints the road you live in. Whathappens when others in your road goon the air? Do yo~add your initials toyour Postcode or your house number?Wouldn't take our house-breakingfraternity long to work the rest outl Oryou could do something stupid, like ioverheard an FM breaker do just beforeChristmas. This person was chatting

51

away with another breaker and gavehim his name and address. Later duringtheir conversation he informed theother breaker that he and his familywere going away for five days overChristmas. I was only listening on theside, but I wonder how many otherswere and maybe crooked ones. Like Isaid, I will stick to my handle.Ski,Warsall.

Sling The SlangDear CB,I heartily agree with Neil Smith andG.L.B. (January issue) on the use ofthis ridiculous CB slanguage. Now thatCB is legal, can't we use the Queen'sEnglish and have intelligent conversa­tions and discussions on the Band, in­stead of all that moronic chatter? Wedon't hear this on the Amateur Bands.RCS,Sussex.

Housewive's ChoiceDear CB,Re: Neil Smith's lettar headed "Com­munications Dustbin", I heartily agreewith every word he says. CB is becom­ing the dustbin of radio communicationand most certainly the hobby of theleS's intelligent who play with their ex­pensive toys, bucket mouth abusiverubbish in unintelligibla pseudo­American accents and play poprecords. Have any of them heard of acode of practice I wonder? Or care?

I share the hope that a number ofsensible and responsible operators willcome in to being now that legalisationis here, but I'm not very optimistic. In­deed my pessimism was deepenedtoday by a full-page spread in a nationaldaily paper which trumpets loudly 'Ex­citement for Motorists, Housewivesand Kids ... Fun for Everyone - AnyAge (Of course there is no mentionanywhere in the ad that a CB licence isneededJ.

This I regard as irresponsibleadvertising which can only lead to a lotof peapia being conned into spending alot of money on rigs they don't under­stand and can't use properly. Also, theprospect of the airwaves being filledwith rabbiting housewives andsquawking kids in addition to the pre­sent plague of wallies makes one shud­der.

The radio hams and the RSGBmust be busting their sides.M de Barras,Southsea.

The Spirit Knows.Dear CB,I am writing in answer to the letter fromGLB In January's Back Chat. Nowonder he asked for his name and ad­dress to be withheld - I would havadone if I'd written something Ilka thatl

Can you really imagine usingPostcodes as call signs. His next doornaighbour's call sign would come overas November Golf One Three Quebec

52

Zulu Alpha ... he'd block the breakingchannel for three minutes solid. As forbeing useful for identifying the sourceof an emergency transmission, handsup all those who know all thePostcodes in their city.

I only have to hear a handle of abase station in my area and I know ex­actly where they are. I can only assumethat GLB is a new breaker and is scrap­ing the bottom of the barrel for a decenthandla.

I'm sorry but I think it's back to thedrawing board. No hard feelings Ihope.The Spirit,Portsmouth.

Long Live The Lingo!Dear CB,I feel I must write on the subject of CBslang versus plain speech as I whole­heartedly agraad with Metal Chickenthat it is a shame FM users have startedto use plain spaech instead of CB lingo.

After all, CB Is a two-way com­munications system with its own ex­clusive language and the regulationsregarding plain speech are examples ofstupid bureaucracy relegating CB to a'glorified cordless telephone'. Also inJanuary's Back Chat, GLB and NeilSmith do not seem to realise how theFM system is in any way related to theoriginal AM CBers.

I would suggest that if GLB is notprepared to accept adopting a call signor handle then he should join the ranksof the radio hams. As for his idea ofPostcodes, in the case of a 10-33 Idoubt very much if your averagebreaker would know where NG 1 3QZwasl People do not seem to realise thatit is not just newcomers using the FMsystem but original AM breakers likemyself who want a system on the rightside of the law. We do not want to bepalmed off by a telephone substitute.

CB was spread in America bytruckers who used the CB lingo, so I donot know how Neil Smith can say thatplain speech is the way the facility wasintended to be used. Remember, if yousee a person wearing a cowboy hat, acoat covered in badges mutteringjargon in a pseudo-American accent ­that is how CB was meant to be andthat is how it should stay IThrottle Twister,Lancashire.

What's In A Name?Dear CB,The first three letters of January's BackChat all have a common theme andmake very valid points. As GLB said,the FM system is legal now 'andanonymity is no longer necessary ­this is true but a caller like 'Mack theHack' or 'Medicman' should easily beidentified in the same way that lagalamateurs have a registered call sign bywhich they can be identified. Ourhandles should become our own uni­qua call sign, after all how many JohnBrowns, Jim Clarkes or Tom Smiths arethere? We should ba proud of a goodhandla - the only people who do not

BACKCHATlike to be identified with handles are the'foul mouths'.

Jargon for jargon's sake is sense­less - I've said it before and I'll say itagain. There is however, a subtlebalance that can be maintained wherejargon and plain language complimenteach other and make messages clearer.This is the state we should strive for.

Citizens' Band was, if my memoryserves me right, the first magazine topublish a Handbook & Diractory ofHandles back in Autumn 'BO. Get thathing together lads - we need a newedition more than ever now. There aretoo many 'we will register your handlefor £Xs' appearing with no guaranteethat they will prevent another CBoperator using an already registeredhandle. What we need is a completeregister of handles already in use sothat other alternatives can be found.L Brett,Kent.

Postcode PersuasionDear CB,I write to applaud GLB's letter, IJan '82issue) regarding the use of Postcodesas handles even though they may notbe as colourful as the established 'Rub­ber Duck' type.

May I first draw your attention tothe enclosed Post Office booklet 'UsingPostcodes in Business Systems' notingthe section on page 6 which outlinesthe method for forming personal codessimply by adding tha house number lorfirst characters of the address) to thenormal PC. It would seem that the PostOffice had pre-empted GLB's suggas­tion of using A,B,C, etc suffices.

Going further, other advantages ofthe system which may not beimmediately obvious are its unique for­mat where, as more of the code isquoted, more closer localization· isgiven. As an example, if I am awayfrom home (holidays?) and wish to bebrief, PR says "Preston" PR4 says"South West rural area of Preston"PR45 says "Longton village area" andthe PR4 5NP says "Gorse Grove" ad­ding the final number to locate myhome.

As a final consideration it may notbe wise to disclose over the air the factthat you are not in residence at a par­ticular time as this information can beput to use by earwigging felons. UsingPostcodes can pass on your address ina less obvious way, which cannot beput to immediate casual use unless, ofcourse, wouldwbe intruders are verywell organised.Peter Walton,(Papa Romeo Four!.Preston.

CITIZENS' BAND MARCH 1982 53

You can see from the checklists on thefoliowing four pages that there arenearly one hundred models of CB rigson the market. It would be tempting tosurmise that all the models are dif­ferent, unfortunately this is not thecase, probably only thirty or so of all therigs on the market are actually unique.The other seventy are all cosmeticvariations or badge engineered ver­sions of the original thirty.

This situation is hardly surprisingwhen you consider that there are onlyfour major manufacturers of CB rigs inthe whole world, plus only a handful ofother companies producing rigs in anyreal quantity.

The big four are probably allfamiliar to you by now, they are: Cyber­net, Uniden, Great and AE. Betweenthem they manufacture something like80% of all the CB rigs in the world.

Many of the rigs designed for usewith UK FM CB are not actually all thatnew, in fact some of the basic chassisdesigns have been around for someyears; this is well illustrated by thepositioning of the microphone socket,intended mainly for the American,Australian and European marketswhere driving on the right-hand side ofthe road is the norm.

Buying a CB rig at the moment canbe a real headache. A couple of monthsago it was simple, the choice waslimited and the prices were all fairlysimilar. In the past few weeks the initialsupply problems have all been resolvedand many rigs are now selling at up to£20 below their pre~Chr;stmasprice.

Much has been written in the na­tional press about CB being a commer­cial disaster - this is just not true.However, there has been a few sur­prises. First: CB never assumed 'cult'status as many had predicted. Instead,we estimate that around 75% of allnew CB rigs are being sold to ex~AM

Cbers, We are in effect preaching to theconverted. The newcomers, around25% of the market, are discovering CBfor themselves, indeed it is a sad factthat many potential CBers are being putoff by the general assumption that CBcan only be used by people prepared toassume psuedo-American accents andlong vocabularies of jargon and slang.

This is simply not so. Anyone canuse CB and providing they follow thecommonsense rules, can speak inEnglish, American, even Chinese, pro­viding it is in plain speech,

Second: before Christmas rigswere scarce and expensive, enoughreason to put anyone off during a reces­sion~

Third: the absurd rumour that AMwas going to be legalised and that AMrigs were being returned with seals onthe controls and antenna socket saying'do not open until April' or similar. Itwas a hoax on the grand scale and did alot of damage to the CB industry.

Fourth: we hope to help peopleunderstand that CB is not just for talk­ing to other breakers, yes, of coursethat is the main use but we hope toshow people that CB has literallythousands of other uses. These rangefrom business use to marine use; it canbe used on the farm; at outdoor eventsfor crowd control; marshalling - thelist is endless. Until the full potential ofCB has been explored the level of in­terest will remain fairly low and verymuch the province of the dedicated en­thusiast.

And lastly, now that rig prices arecoming down to a realistic level wehope to see a gradual increase in thenumbers of newcomers. It is a fact oflife that the severe weather conditionsearlier this year prompted many peopleto go out and buy rigs not just forpleasure but as devices that one daymay save their lives. These people willdiscover the value of CB and we hopethat by offering a complete run down ofall the currently available rigs, peoplewill be able to make their selectionswisely.
