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.

morning everyone.

My name is Tracy Morgan aka SharkyRivethead.

So.... I'm about as new as they come. A couple years ago I picked up a couple old school handy talkies at a goodwill. Brand new and 10 bucks for the pair, well, couldn't pass up on the deal. But then they sat around for a while in the garage. Then about a month ago, I started playing with them with my girls. I figured I would show them how they were used and the proper etiquette. Then my interest just grew.

As of now, I have a Cobra 2000 base unit, radioshack pro 2050 base scanner, a htx 202 and 404 hand held 2m. I'm also studying for my tech lic.

The Cobra unit is heavily modified. It goes well into ham frequency. But I don't mess with that or venture to much into the freeband area. Though I'm finding out that there ain't much going on in the cb world. (Luck I only paid 150 for the cobra)

In any case. I felt it was necessary that I learned about the radio waves. Like a lot of other folks. I feel that the poºh is about to hit the fan. I don't want my family being left in the dark. (Don't get me wrong. I'm not a preper or anything. But it's hard not to feel like there is a lot of tension in the air)

Other interests are modding (kit bashing ) home audio/theater enthusiast, collector of to many things and gamer.....which is kinda a joke. Because at 43. My

Awesome! 2CT114... I like it. Kinda has a Star Wars Stormtrooper ring to it.

Thanks to everyone for the welcomes and warm wishes. After last night, I can see my next post will be in the "need help" area. Was taking the girl out for a test run. (now that I have the antenna mounted on the roof) Only to find out I'm hardly, if at all, getting any received signals.

So, off I go and thanks again.

Welcome to the Forum Tracy. You will find that this is a very interesting Forum. There is much to read and learn here! Cb radio is quite different in the UK compared to the USA. I learn something new each time I visit here. The people are very friendly and the Forum is well managed. I hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do.
