I know they're still quite popular in the VW scene, I was thinking of putting one in Charlie (Trucking roots in my family, Dad used to have one in everything - our Sierra estate, for example...)

Anyone here got their ears on?

Are they still legal? I have an old AM set somewhere (brought it back from USA) - and an FM set....and 70cms and 2 m Amateur sets....

BMCECOSSE: The AM rig was never legal in the UK. The gov. Licenced the FM rigs in an attempt to dtop the use of the AM ones that were interfering with things (TV's for one!). FM was never the same and the fad eventually all but died out for mainstream use.

Best check the earth as I imagine theres no such thing as a positive earthed CB set.
