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.

I grabbed Albrechts AE 5890 EU to test the latest spec/standard radios we are now allowed to use...I bought the Scarlet Warrior and a Mag Base stuck it in the loft and it performs pretty well...the Scarlet Warrior and Red Devil are pretty much the same, I went for the Scarlet Warrior because it can tune between 25-30 MHz...I picked up a new Sirio 4000PL with the Sirio Mag145 and the Scarlet Warrior out performs it in the loft...the Sirio would win hands down when it's on the old skateboard, I listen a lot more on the radio than TX although I've had some decent contacts recently with the 'short skip'...if the radio bug bites then you'll have plenty of time to spend all your hard earned cash on 'new toys'...just relax and enjoy the 'Journey' !
