CB "Frequencies"

Post by ChipButty »

Apologies to all if this has been asked before.

I have checked through the threads to find an answer but there is a lot here and I was unable to find a definitive answer.

So... Here goes.

I have just purchased a couple of UK CB "rigs". A mobile for the car and a handheld for out and about.

One came with the EU CB band selected and the other with UK (U).

My question being.... What is the frequency list now most used in the UK with the view to hearing and contacting others around my local patch?

Appreciate any replies.

The handheld is the K-Po Panther. The Mobile is the Intek M-899 VOX "SafeDrive". Both purchased from UK retailers.
