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

 

Most anything away from 19.

 

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

 

we usually use 16 on our runs here.

 

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.

 

Whats wrong with using channel 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.....

 

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!!!!!!!!!!! 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!!!!!

 

i use only channel 19... always have.
