There seems to be a lot of options on these, with the sellers on eBay, I noticed someone in Cornwall is doing. A 25.615 to 26.055 going right through to UK FM. Very confusing can someone please explain... I was on Ssb 40 years ago, it's been a long time..

ghoshy, your Mid band is all mixed up. You don't need to program in the Alpha channels. Or midnight's whatever they are. You have a +10kc button the front of the radio.

Yeah what are midnights supposed to be ? in all the many years I've been involved with CB I've never heard of them, I've only heard of Alphas

At a guess i would say zero's on super low to super hi as they are usually 5's. But he only has 15 extra channels. 5 Alpha's and only 10 midnights so possibly not what i said.

Just Googled it guys. It says that it is basically the first 15 channels on the Hi band. 27.405 - 27. 595. That's a weird way to program a radio.
Paul.
PS : If anyone wants a decent DAT file for the 6900n V6 just ask.
Band A is 28.255 - 28.655 - 10mtr SSB Band B is 26.065 - 26.505 Band C is 26.515 - 26.955 Band D is 26.965 - 27.405 Band E is 27.415 - 27.855 Band F is UK40

Whatever they are Paul I have never heard of anything called midnight's, there is nothing special about the first 15 channels on the high band so why would they have a special name , TBH I would say it's a local slang thing that where Ghoshy area is for some reason .

Must have been something that when CB was legalised it's what the newbies to CB made up because never heard of that term before CB was legalised ,because when I started in CB radio many moons ago CB/81 FM wasn't even thought about or heard of, so to me its just the first part of the high band .
Be interesting to see if Mr Ghoshy can explain where his terminology came from.
