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.

They are great radios for the price, I would reccomend you get the extended antenna, they are only only a few pounds if you get them delivered from China.

do you mean the telescopic type antenna? I have seen a colinear antenna on ebay which look quite good. thinking of fitting it outside near my cb twig. I was thinking the stock antenna does not look very good...

thanks for that Shaun. I had just had a quick look around the net before your reply came back and I already purchased the antenna you pointed out, there was a shorter version but did not perform as well, thanks again, Robbie.

It depends how much you are on the key, having chaired a few nets in the past using a similar radio it was not uncommon to use 2 or 3 batteries in one session!

Or even if you are having longer overs more than one battery is always worth having
