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.

Out of interest, if you asked a very well known CB/amateur radio shop about the possibility of fitting Anderson Powerpole connectors to a rig you were interested in buying from them, would you expect them to have heard of that type of connector?

Absolutely although admittedly they're not in as widespread use in this country as they should be.

Was this Knights by any chance? I wouldn't trust them with anything. I asked them once when they mentioned that a model of CB they sold needed the mic gain turning up how they measured that. They said "by ear on another radio." I asked them why they didn't use a FM deviation meter and the reply was they didn't have one.

They pretty much seem to set everything up by ear using a manky old knacker as a test set and crappy CB quality frequency counters. The fundamental test gear such as the FM deviation meter, a RF sig gen, SINAD meter, spectrum analyser etc seem to be conspicuous by their absence.

You must be psychic! I was far from impressed by them I must say. In fact I was made to feel like I either was talking rubbish or that they didn't want to know.
