Celebrating 45 Years of Legal CB Radio!

 

Are you feeling old?

Well, on 2nd November 2026 we will be celebrating 45 years of legal CB Radio in the UK.

Stations all across the land will take to the air for "The Big Net".

Channel 27 UKFM (27.86125) from 19:00 hours until late.

So it's an ideal time to dig out those muppet boxes and get on the air!

Moonraker Atlas Price Reduction BUT Out Of Stock!

 

Over on the Moonraker website we see that the recently arrived Moonraker Atlas has had a price reduction already.

The new Price is £89.96

But, it is shown as out of stock.

This new radio is very interesting and performs well in some aspects, however, as discussed on the blog last week, there are a few issues which need to be addressed. 

This follows a similar pattern to that seen with the Moonraker Titan, which was also put on sale, was found lacking, then was shown as 'out of stock' only for a Mark II version to appear a few weeks later. The Mark II proved to be a very good radio. 

I have a feeling we may see the same with the Atlas. 

If the issues are corrected, I have no doubt that a future Atlas will be an excellent radio!

Moonraker Atlas FM Audio Modification (Hidden Menu)

 

So, we've had a few emails about the low FM audio on the new Moonraker Atlas, asking if there is an easy fix.

Well you can buy a programming lead and connect the radio to your computer to adjust the audio levels for sure but there is an easier way.

You can enter the FM Modulation menu which is built into the radio.

YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS IN HIDDEN MENUS COULD MESS UP YOUR RADIO! 

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON THE MOONRAKER ATLAS

AND MAY NOT WORK ON OTHER MODELS 

 

Press and hold the BAND button when turning on the radio and you should be presented with this:

Use the channel change to cycle through the levels (1/2/3), then press and hold the POWER BUTTON to confirm - These levels adjust the FM deviation/bandwidth and therefore increase the outgoing audio. 

I don't have any test equipment so maybe someone who has will be able to confirm but it appears that:

Level 1 = 1.5khz deviation

Level 2 = 2.0khz deviation

Level 3 = 3.0khz deviation

You will still need a programming lead and software to make the AM audio better but this is a simple way to improve the FM audio.
