Welcome to the official Charlie Tango DX Group CB And Amateur Radio Forum. You are visiting the UK's biggest and most active CB Radio club.. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference. We have members varying from fully qualified operators on the Amateur Bands, to newcomers who have just bought a PMR446 set, and many CBers both old and new. All are equal on the Site.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

If you join Charlie Tango you'll be able to access member-only sections, and use member-only features such as customizing your profile, sending personal messages, voting in polls, viewing modifications and more.

The following Posts have been relocated from the "CB Radio Trouble Shooting & Discussion"

Sorry, but I cannot work-out if there's a way to relocate posts with their original authors! I can relocate (move) entire threads, but not individual posts. So you'll have to put up with the new posts coming from me, with a "Originally posted by..." comment.

I suspect the biggest worry is that all the nasty "RADIASHUNS" from your Tower is going to give the cat dystemper, make the dog pregant, and cause their darling-children to grown long green tendrils and fail their exams.

If you REALLY want to worry the neighbours.... plant a raw oven-ready chicken on top of a pole in your garden and, if anyone asks, tell them the microwave has broken so you're using RF. In the dead of night, swap the raw chicken for a well cooked one, and leave it outside long enough for the neighbours to notice.

PANIC!!

Now i'll tell you a few "True" facts that the local "Nimbys" came up with...........I am using all new CE gear (worth many thousands)...I have low pass filters on everything and a 1:1 balun on the HF beam.Also I sat a City and Guilds RAE exam.......so not banging my own drum too much a bit more qualified to use radios than the "Muppets" sat on CH 19.There was nine people who sent letters complaining about Bull@hit.Remember any RFI issues are only a problem of Ofcom who took over from the RA.....and the old "Buzbys".The first woman said her wireless doorbell was going off at all hours.Another couple said they could hear voices out of their TV ..when on "Standby" .....and ws scaring their teenage kids!!!!!!!.........all true.Then when I was granted permission....the Bi@c@ nearby rang the council enforcement guy and said it was way higher than was granted........two guys came and OKed it.....sent said person a letter......within a week a letter came from the Council noise problems department.........wait for it saying my radio was making a "Noise problem".By this time Sue (my YL ) was getting depressed with it all.So I phoned the Coucil and asked if I was killing Eels in the Humber too and I didn't have a 14" base box on my window ledge from my Pro3!!They "monitored" the problem for 3 months.......then sussed that the woman who I freely gave TVI braid breaker filters 2 years previous meant TVI........so they gave her Ofcoms number (No problem to me as my gear is 100%).When she found out they charge HER £60+filters.......guess what??.She decided to have a new TV antenna as the old one was laid broken on here roof pointing to Hell!!!!.After spending I guess 5K on my antennas and tower I was on the verge of getting "Legal Eagles" involved.I haven't heard anything for over a year.......I think they know they have failed and made themselves look C@n@s.They even had the local papers involved who I gave an interview........any their story "Favoured" Radio Amateurs and Radio Hobbyists........LOL :lol:
