10/11 meters / 11 meter band activity 25-26 MHz 5 Jan 2024
« on: January 05, 2024, 1644 UTC »
Another band opening today.  Lots of activity on 26.735 MHz AM, truckers talking about which "taco truck" is better, other discussion relating to fast food joints, traffic and other typical CB radio banter.  26735 is CB radio channel 19 "down one band" so it's very popular for truck drivers to use this frequency...simply flip the band switch from "D" to "C" on your export radio and leave the channel on 19. 

27.635 MHz is channel 19 up one band (Band E, or the upper channels, high band), but 26.735 MHz seems to be more popular. 

I've actually heard a lot of truck drivers on 25.835 MHz AM, which is channel 19 down 3 bands..so Band A on the standard export radio where the legal 40 CB channels is Band D.  26.285 MHz AM or channel 19 on band B is not as popular, likely because 26.285 MHz USB is promoted as the alternate SSB DX 11 meter CB calling frequency to 27.555 MHz USB.

10/11 meters / FM CB Activity - 26.805 MHz FM 1630 UTC 4 Jan 2024
« on: January 04, 2024, 1655 UTC »
Strong signals coming in locally and via the W3HFU KiwiSDR on 26.805MHz FM free band CB FM calling frequency.

There doesn't seem to be much, if any, in-band FM mode activity at least at the moment. 

The "usual suspects" are active as well:

26.555 MHz LSB - Spanish language calling frequency, very busy
26.575 MHz AM - Mexican trucker frequency, basically nonstop activity
26.585 MHz AM - Just as busy as 26.575MHz
26.615 MHz LSB - Weak SSB chatter on this frequency, Spanish language
26.655 MHz AM - US stations, possibly hunters / hunt club radio comms
26.735 MHz AM - US truck drivers using export radios, this is Channel 19 "down one band" and often has trucker chatter on it
26.765 MHz AM - Taxi cab radio dispatch, YL dispatcher - the usual LMR / PMR user of this frequency 26765 AM 26.7650 MHz AM
26.785 MHz AM - US freeband CB radio chatter
26.915 MHz AM - the usual activity on this frequency


27.420 MHz LSB - US freeband CB radio chatter
27.445 MHz USB - Spanish language comms, some QRM from 27.45 MHz
27.450 MHz LSB - US freeband CB radio comms, fair signals
27.455 MHz USB - Spanish language calling frequency, see also: 26.555 LSB
27.475 MHz AM - Possible taxi cab radio dispatch, interesting frequency choice
27.485 MHz AM - Spanish language taxi cab dispatcher, YL dispatcher with heavy SSB QRM
27.515 MHz LSB - Caribbean calling frequency, The Knight Patrol!
27.525 MHz LSB - Caribbean area chatter, distinctive accent
27.555 MHz USB - Calling frequency, active
27.575 MHz AM - Taxi cab radio dispatch, heavy QRM from SSB
27.625 MHz LSB - US stations, very weak
27.635 MHz AM - US truckers using export radios, sporadic activity (see also: 27.185 MHz, 26.735 MHz, 25.835 MHz, etc.)
27.655 MHz USB - Spanish language freeband CB radio comms
27.665 MHz USB - Spanish speaking freeband CB chatter
27.695 MHz LSB - Extremely strong Latin American informal QSO
27.725 MHz LSB - Spanish speaking freeband CB 11m comms
27.725 MHz USB - Spanish speaking freebanders
27.735 MHz AM - Radio taxi dispatch, Latin America - YL taxi dispatcher, Spanish language
27.745 MHz AM - Radio taxi dispatch, Latin America - YL taxi dispatcher, Spanish language
27.755 MHz AM - Radio taxi dispatch, Latin America - YL taxi dispatcher, Spanish language
27.765 MHz LSB - Spanish language chatter
27.785 MHz AM - Radio taxi dispatch, Latin America - YL taxi dispatcher, Spanish language
27.815 MHz AM - Radio taxi dispatch, Latin America - YL taxi dispatcher, Spanish language
27.905 MHz AM - Radio taxi dispatch, Latin America - YL taxi dispatcher, Spanish language
27.915 MHz AM - US truck drivers, very dramatic fading

Update:  at 1650 UTC, 26.805 MHz FM is still active.  I also noted a mixture of AM, FM and LSB signals on CB Channel 40 frequency 27.405 MHz.

There is also an unmodulated carrier wave signal on 27.145 MHz, plus two different data signals, one centered on 27.144 MHz, the other centered closer to 27143.5 kHz 27.1435 kHz.  Their bandwidths are within the RCRS regulations either way.

10/11 meters / PNI Escort HP 82 Handheld CB AM FM Multi-Norm Review
« on: January 02, 2024, 1427 UTC »
So I picked one of these up a couple months ago.  They do not have an "export mode" or "RU mode" - at least the firmware in the version I have does not. 

It does, however, have the following bands ready to go.  It's legal to use in the USA under Part 95 in both regular old AM mode and FM mode on the standard 40 channels in the EU band.  Set it to CE band and it does the same legal 40 channels but is locked in FM mode only.

EU band 40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - same as American CB radio band and export radios "Band D" - AM and FM modes

CE band 40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - identical to EU band and the US FCC mid band, but is FM mode only

DE band 80 channels 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - this is the German 80 channel CB band, which is also legal in several other countries in addition to Germany.  Channels 1-40 are identical to the EU band and the American CB radio band, AM and FM modes are allowed on channels 1-40, 4w AM carrier, 4w FM.  Channels 41-80 are FM only.  Channel 41 is 26.565 MHz and Channel 80 is 26.955 MHz.  Straight 10 kHz sequence with no skipped channels 26.565 MHz, 26.585 MHz, 26.595 MHz, 26.605 MHz, 26.615 MHz, etc. up to 26.925 MHz, 26.935 MHz, 26.945 MHz and 26.955 MHz. 

UK band 40 channels 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - this is the UK FM 27/81 band.  4w FM, straight 10 kHz channel sequence, 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz.  27.78125 MHz is channel 19.  No skipped channels or out of order channel numbering for channels 23, 24 and 25.  In UK mode, pressing the AM/FM - BAND button once switches you between the UK FM 40 channel band and the CE band (CEPT European standard 40 channel mid band FM CB radio allocation, that is, the standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz allocation, FM only).  Whichever channel you're on on the UK FM CB band, it will flip you down to that channel on the CE band, which is sort of a neat feature. 

I2 band 34 channels  26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz - Italian "I2 CB Band" - 34 channel band.  This is one of two 27 MHz 11 meter CB bands available in Italy.
Channels 1 to 23 are identical to the US band/CEPT CB band/EU mid band FM.  All channels allow use of AM and FM modes.  Channels 26 to 34 are the non-standard channels, channel 24 and 25 are standard CB channels, but are numbered in a non-standard way.

Channel 24 is 27.245 MHz - normally this is Channel 25
Channel 25 is 27.265 MHz - normally this is Channel 26
Channel 26 is 26.875 MHz
Channel 27 is 26.885 MHz
Channel 28 is 26.895 MHz
Channel 29 is 26.905 MHz
Channel 30 is 26.915 MHz
Channel 31 is 26.925 MHz
Channel 32 is 26.935 MHz
Channel 33 is 26.945 MHz
Channel 34 is 26.955 MHz

So Italy has non-standard CB channels available by using the I2 band.

IN band 27 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz.  India CB radio 27MHz band Indian CB radio allocation.  5w AM / 5w FM power output.  Identical to the standard channel plan for channels 1-27.  Yep, it even follows the out of order channel numbering for 23, 24 and 25. 

PL band 40 channels 26.960 MHz - 27.400 MHz - Polish CB radio channel plan.  Poland CB allocation -5 kHz or the "zeros".  Identical to the EU / CEPT / FCC standard US 40 channel band plan, except every channel frequency is -5 kHz.  So Channel 1 is 26.960 MHz, Channel 2 is 26.970 MHz, Channel 3 is 26.980 MHz, Channel 4 is 27.000 MHz...up to Channel 38 being 27.380 MHz, Channel 39 is 27.390 MHz and Channel 40 is 27.400 MHz.  AM and FM modes are allowed. 

Counting the 40 UK FM channels + German 40 additional FM channels, there's 80 non-standard channels available right there.  Yes, there's also the Polish channels, but that 5 kHz offset isn't that much of a help in most situations as far as finding a clear frequency, at least in AM and FM mode.

I think I might get myself one or two Midland 75-822 handhelds, or one of the other PNI handhelds and do some range testing.  I know the Midland 75-822 can be easily modified to cover the 120 channel "low/mid/high" bands - or Band C/Band D/Band E. 

26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz total coverage

Low band / Band C - 26.515 MHz - 26.955 MHz
Mid band / Band D / legal FCC CB band / 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz
High band / Band E  27.415 MHz - 27.855 MHz.
 
I believe it also can be switched to do the 80 channel German CB radio allocation and the UK FM CB channels as well.   The issue is, of course, that the German band extra channels are FM only.

Worcester County, Mass. fire mutual aid network radio system test, call outs to individual stations on the network and radio checks.  Test complete at 1407 UTC (907 local time).  Good signal on 31.1000 MHz FM 131.8 Hz PL tone - WQEW233 license / callsign, ID "Worcester Fire" over the air.  31.1 MHz FM PL=131.8Hz.   

Received via G8JNJ online SDR receiver - receiver located in the UK.  Signal strength S5-S7 with minor fading.  Nice FM audio on VHF low band. 

Frequency 31100 kHz FM 31,100 FM 31.1000 FM CTCSS 131.8Hz 131.8 tone


This frequency is used for all sorts of purposes, but it was nice and clear with about a S2-S3 noise floor.

Lots of Asian fishery traffic all over the band right now, especially below 33 MHz or so.

Noted wide deviation FM voice on 30025 FM 30.025 MHz FM.  Solid 18-22 kHz wide.  Russian military traffic.  Not Russian taxis (although there are lots of those all over 25-30 MHz right now too).  First appeared on frequency at 1245 UTC, active until 1250 UTC or 1251 UTC.  Nice strong signal, SIO 444. 

Weak fishery radio network chatter also on frequency 30.0250 MHz FM [CSQ].

26765 kHz AM 26.765MHz AM Mexican taxicab radio coming in mid-morning (US east coast time) on a handheld receiver.  Fair amount of activity on the legal 40 CB band and the upper channels as well.

26.765 MHz AM is a nice band opening indicator as the YL dispatch lady taxi lady comes in basically daily.  Mexican taxi cab radio dispatch 26.7650 MHz AM. 

53
Lots of activity on the FM calling frequency 26.805MHz FM 26805 kHz FM.  Noted almost as much on 26.795 MHz as well.  Heard "187 Northern California" working a 10 division station (Mexico) on 26.805 MHz FM with almost full quieting signals, very nice audio from both stations.   A third station keyed over the Mexican DXer but thanks to capture effect...it made almost no difference. 

26.795 MHz is a good alternate for the 26.805 FM frequency.   It is usually much quieter than, say, 26.815 MHz or 26.825 MHz.

Good signals via G8JNJ SDR at 1345 UTC on 21 December 2023.  29.855 FM 29,855 NFM Taxis, Russia LMR 29.7-30 MHz 29.7-50 MHz VHF low band but still more or less “10 meters” - that little sliver of spectrum between 29.700 MHz and 30.000 MHz

Not sure if they’re using export radios or actual land mobile radios.  Nice 15-16 kHz wide FM. Most export radios / 10m radios that cover 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz are in NFM only - that is, 8K00F3E to 8K50F3E to 10K0F3E emission.

YL dispatcher and OM drivers.  Dispatch signals a solid SIO 444.   Another Russian taxi service land mobile radio LMR PMR system operating in the 25-30 MHz region.
