I am retuning to CB after 30+ years when back in the day it was AM. We used to ask for rig checks and what not on Channel 19.
What channel do we use now on FM.
Thanks
Neil

14 or 19 i think. Some parts of the country use different calling channels so 14 and 19.

yes it doesn't take a lot just to move a couple of channels out of peoples way like we used to in the eighties , i have never tried it but i think if you asked people to do it i think you would be asked to go forth and not to bother multiplying ( if you catch my drift )
