Here's Fred doing his bit to promote CB Radio in the UK!

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!

Icom IC-7110 Preview with G1VDP

Chris, G1VDP, takes a look at the new Icom IC-7110

Personally I feel that for a radio which is supposed to go head to head with the Yeasu FTX-1 Optima, it is lacking somewhat. The simple fact that it doesn't have a built in ATU makes it far less useful.

However, as always, it will depend on the price. The FTX-1 Optima is currently available for £1559 (After cashback). The Icom will need to have a very competitive price....

'Fred in the Shed' Takes A Look at The Luiton LT-310SDR

Video:YouTube/Fred in the Shed

This radio has been seen under several names and they are all interesting but do have a few issues which really should be addressed.  

See my look at the Moonraker Atlas: CLICK HERE

Once all the problems are sorted out it will be a brilliant little radio but for now, my advice is to wait. 

Maybe the upcoming 'TYT Mini SSB' will be the one?
