Jeep wave and More?

chefdab · **Posted:** Mon Jul 23, 2007 8:01 pm

So the other day I was sitting at a traffic light waiting to turn and there was a guy in a Wrangler on the opposite side from me. After he waved, he motioned to pick up the CB. I grabbed mine but couldn't tell what channel he wanted to talk to me on. So I had a thought. What if we all agreed to a certain channel, then every time we saw each other on the road, those guys with CB's could not only wave to each other, but could also exchange a friendly greeting over the airwaves. What do you guys think?

Back in the day it was Ch. 19 for truckers and CH. 4 for 4WDS but that was Ohio so may of been different for 4Wheelers else where. Plus that was back in the 70s. It also depended who all was going along :wink:

Still works that way out here... 19 and 4, that is.

Yeah, 19 and 4 here. I usually leave mine on 19, its fun to listen to some of the trucks from far beyond.

EDIT: My bro also says 16 if 4 is busy (4x4 = 16; get it?) and sometimes 22 (2+2 = 4WD). But rarely 22.

Son, I got my CB coming this week and its going to be ready to be in ch. 4

GREAT IDEA!!!!

can anybody who has access to other 4x4 forums start posting the channels just to make sure we are ALL on board!

channels 4, 16, 19 and maybe 22

Time for a 10-100

Well I knew about channel 19 for the truckers(my sister met her husband in truck driving school), but I had never heard about the channel 4 thing. So I guess next time I'm out, I'll make sure I'm on channel 4.

What's your 20, good buddy? :lol:

our local Jeep club uses 4 all the time on run's

Channel 16 is supposed to be for sideband along with 35 through 40. Sideband and AM don't mix at all. Also, you want to keep it down to 1 channel. If you say 3 or 4 channels then you will be going from 1 to the other trying to find Joe Blow while he is doing the same trying to find you. I vote for Ch.#4.

i just got mine on sunday, its layin in the floor on the passenger side, the mic is tucked in the cup holder, wires, wires everywhere!!!!! i plugged it in to my 12v jack (i wired it to a cig plug end temporarily until i get tools to hardwire it) and it comes on but i dont know if the thing works or not. the group out here uses it on trails and im tired of not being able to talk to them...

Alak · **Posted:** Wed Jul 25, 2007 10:33 am

I'd like to put a CB in the useless cubby hole beside the 12V power outlet (Cig lighter for you filthy people).

DarbyWalters · **Posted:** Wed Jul 25, 2007 10:42 am

Around here it is "4" for offroad..."4"WD...call "4" help

I'm always on either CH 4 or listening into 19. I only flip up to 19 when I get stuck in traffic though. That's one sure way to find out what's going on and whether or not you should wait the traffic out. Just flip it up to 19 and listen for the chatter.

I wanna get a new radio though. I want one of those handheld jobbies 'cause I'd like to use it in the Jeep and out on the boat. Been shopping, but I haven't picked one yet. Too many options...
