    Test 27mhz - SE Melbourne

    Hi

    I just for the hell of it installed a 27mhz CB in my D2, it is all working properly and I used an SWR to set my antenna, but as it is obviously not a popular comm set I can't test so is there anyone out there in teh Frankston/Mount Eliza/Mornington area who would be willing to agree a date/time and channel so that I can test the rig?

    27 Mhz - a boating frequency?

    What I understand it is still commonly used as a "marine" frequency, but before the emergence of UHF as the defacto method of communication for 4x4's Am HF27 Mhz was very popular.

    It does appear to be gaining a bit of a resurgence, but is by no means as reliable as UHF.

    Some interesting links below
    http://www.aulro.com/afvb/communicat...age-chart.html

    I will use this set purely as an extra or nice to have rather than main method of communication.

    I've got one in my rig too

    Some quarries still use the 27Mhz CB(Truck to loader or weighbridge).

    As I remember 27 Mhz Citizen Band & 27 Mhz Marine Band used different parts of the 27 Mhz band. One upper, the other lower 27 Mhz band[ not sure which was which] and not to be confused with Single Side Band(SS. Citizen and Marine bands not compatable
    I run 27 Mhz CB & 477 Mhz CB in both my Holden Overlander & Lada Niva Ute yet to fit anything to the Tyrendarra Tractor ie RR P38

    I'm going to be putting an AM Sideband radio into my D1 - you're right it is making a bit of a resurgence as people are wanting to see how far they can go with it - AM 27mhz you wont go too far, but Upper/Lower sideband if your radio has it, will get you a long long way.. Will let you know when mine's installed...

    Cheers,
    -Adam.

    I know for a fact that with a little luck a good antennae good radio and a good site you can get SSB to get from townsville to adelaide.
