| 1625.1 | Jones Radio sells EVERYTHING ! | SUBURB::JASPERT | | Tue Dec 10 1991 17:42 | 10 |
| I haven't been a CBer for several years, & I regret selling my rig.
(anyone got one for sale,(cheapish) ?
So I guess Cats Whisker, Chatham St precinct, is no longer there, but I
have seen a good range of CB in Jones Radio, Oxford Rd, Reading.
They're near Riley's Snooker Hall, far as I can remember, certainly on
that side of the road. More old info, there was a shop at Spencers
Wood, at the A327 triangle, I think they sell videos now.

| Does anyone know if UK CBs are legal in France?

|
| 1625.9 | I think not.... | COMICS::COOMBER | Inverted Flight Expert | Mon Feb 03 1992 16:34 | 8 |
| I'm pretty sure the answer is NO!
Last I looked at taking radio equipment , legal, into france it was
one hell of a performance , so much so that I gave the idea up. It may
have changed as this was some time ago. But we are talking about
france.

| 1625.11 | I wouldn't.... | SBPEXE::PREECE | Just gimme the VAX, ma'am... | Wed Feb 05 1992 17:28 | 13 |
| Last time I checked, definitely not!
As always, French and British standards are different, and you could be
faced with having to remove the equipment from your car on entry and
collect it again on the way out.
They're getting touchy about UK car-phones "sur le continent", these
days, too.
...and as for sitting in that little bit of coverage overlap in Calais,
using your Vodafone, well.... ;-)

| CEPT is the european standard. You can get CEPT complient radios in the UK.
I believe they are the same as the old AM frequencies, but using FM. I can't
remember what CEPT stands for but can find out.

| John,
i don't think (.8) so at the moment, but very soon the UK will
be "coming in line with Europe" and adopting the CEPT standard (or
something), so the old 27/81 (or whatever it was) UK frequencies will
eventually be replaced be pan-Europe stuff. Thus the new UK CBs will
be legal!!!
mb
p.s.
Are there any CBers out there in UK_CARS?
|
| 1625.17 | Yes - CEPT OK in France | CHEFS::SURPLICEK | | Mon Sep 19 1994 15:19 | 4 |
| Today in the UK you can buy two types of CB
- UK only frequencies
- Europe-wide frequencies (CEPT as mentioned before) for UK & Eur
Both are readily available. The CEPT stuff is valid in France.

| FWIW, I went in to Tandy in Basingstoke on Friday to buy some cable
ties (99p) for the PC, and came out with a "paint damaged" CB fror 25
squids, a "paint damaged" SWR meter for 3 squids and 15 for a mag-mount
antenna (with no paint!). Now I've some new toys to play with and if I
don't like what I hear on the radio, I can answer back :-)
The paint damage was minimal - they had the shop re-fitted by some
cowboy decorators and they left a fine white mist on most bits of the
stock!
All I'm short of is a lead from the rig to the SWR meter! (the radio
equiv of a null-modem cable).
Jc
P.S. I had to go back on Monday to repcale the handset which had a
dodgey wire - no problems with the exchange.
P.P.S. I forgot to buy the cable ties :-)

| 1625.22 | CEPT is OK and peaceful | CHEFS::SURPLICEK | | Thu Sep 22 1994 13:25 | 5 |
| CEPT (i.e. Euro-wide CB radio sets) are valid in the UK. They were
introduced/legalised at least 4 years ago. However, it is quite true that
all the chit chat is on the UK only sets. If you know who you want to
talk to, and need some clear airways all to yourself and your contact,
CEPT can be an advantage since it is in effect more quiet/private.
