CB channel for Jeeps?

[OoPEZoO]

Just wondering if there is an unofficial CB channel that Jeeps tend to run while on the road?

When on my motorcycle I tend to scan CH19 while on the highway, but switch to CH2 if I come across another bike with an antenna hanging off the back. For some reason, most traveling sport touring riders adopted CH2. Do most people in Jeeps tend to stick to a certain channel for yapping on the road?

Off-road channel 4 is commonly used. Not sure about on the roads, however.

Yeah, 4 seems Logical... we have used that on several trail rides.

[JdTms11]

I think it depends on what group your Jeepin with.
One I know of that uses 16 while another uses 4.

most of us members of michiana jeep club and fellow jeepers use channel 7 in the northern indiana and southern michigan area! but other than that channel 19 is where majority of the noise is heard!

Around here we run 4.....I guess some genius in our group came up with that because we are 4x4's and thought it was a good fit.. :D

[desertdawg]

[JKmudslinger09]

i vote 16 on road and 4 off road. :thumbsup:

[DtownJK]

4 seams to be the norm at RC for trail runs.

My vote would be Channel 4 for on and offroad.

Not the big fan of any channel around 19 (unless i'm trying to talk to a trucker). Too many people run amps that can bleed onto surrounding channels.

Channel 4 is used 'round these parts, good buddy.:bleh:

[dburgette]

Whichever is clear is the right channel.

My club tends to run on Channel 10...but the other club that we run with somtimes tend to run on Channel 4.

[giolll]

I hear alot of chatter on 6 on the highway...like to use 4 on trails or 1

[wwiifirearms]

I've always heard 16 is marine???......:dontknow2: That is 16 on a Marine UHF not CB.

[wwiifirearms]

I think in theory 16 will perform slightly better than 4, since most people tune the antenna for 19 (the middle of the 1-40 range).

We used to use Channel 4 off road, but switched to 16 because of local interferance on 4.

When on the road I am on 19, because I like to hear the big rigs give traffic and speed trap reports.

Havent been with a group offroad yet but when on the road, the cb I have can scan two channels and I usually have it set to scan 15 & 19.
Local trucker channels.
And the HT to .520

This thread should be long dead, I'm reviving it.

the following channels are listed as common channels according to wikipedia.

Ch - Frequency - common use
4 - 27.005 - 4x4
6 - 27.025 - Modified users (Illegal)
9 - 27.065 - Emergency Channel
14 - 27.125 - Walkie Talkies
19 - 27.185 - Trucker channel
>30 - various - common for SSB users

Does anyone have a better list of CB channels? I plan on using 4 on the trial and 19 on the highway.

I have always used channel 4 on the trail rides
