What channel do you use

[JMP8562]

WHAT CHANNEL IS USED WHEN OFF ROADING AS IN IS THEIR A SPECIFIC CHANNEL :thinking: LIKE TRUCKERS BASICALLY USE 19 OR 21 OR IS IT WHAT EVER CHANNEL IS NOT BEING USED:dontknow2:

[RedneckJeep]

Most anything away from 19.

[jkkat]

Most wheeelier around here use 4 and some clubs have specific channels.

[fish]

we usually use 16 on our runs here.

[Desert Fox]

Most 4 wheelers will use 4 to start out with and move to 8, 12, 16 etc, if the channel they start out on is too busy. There is no written rule, this just developed out of common usage. As long as everyone in your group agrees, you can use about any channel you want except 9 and 19.

9 is Emergency use only..... they will tag ya' is ya' use it for something else (Well, if they find out who you are).

Channle 19....... dunno, pretty much guessed long ago its pretty much just the "Trucker" channel.....

[RedneckJeep]

9 is Emergency use only


How right you are. People still ilegally use channel nine though, because it's usually the quietest channel. I just use the squelch knob.

Oh no doubts: back when we used to use hand helds off in the great NO-wheres we'd hear all sorts of muckety muck on ch. 9............drove me nucking futts as it IS supposed to be for true emergencies only-- Not Swappin' reciepies!!!!!!!!!!!:what?: But heck we were sooooo friggin out there in no-man's lands I seriously wondered if anyone even woulda been ABLE to hear a distress calll put out on it....'cept maybe for the tard's exchanging recipies!!!!!

Kinda makes me miss the *old* days where a lottta peeps would simply put a lil' sticker on thier jeeps, cars, vans with what channel they usually ran on.................. just a simple CH-4 or CH4......... ahhh the good ol' days-- when gas was less than a buck:what?:

[Gokracer1]

I use 16, if it starts picking up other people I go to 12

[DZNTS]

All of the 4x4 parks I've been to use 4 ( Katemcey,Monkey creek, Amarillo). My club also uses 4. The local passing trucker traffic seems to always be on 6. I listen to 19 when I'm on the highway and try to raise truckers or just about anyone on it but still haven't got a reply as of yet. I also use 19 to announce the location of speed traps to other drivers as I find them.:dontknow2:

[Dizzyliz]

19 is the local interstate channel... and in my parts 16 is the loggers channel which is cool for safety reasons because of some of the places trekked alone :brows:

...In a private group of individuals---> channel 21 works for me http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q60/lizzdizze/sly.gif
