FM CB Radio in the US - 2 Facebook Groups

 

Two new Facebook groups have sprung up to offer discussion regarding the upcoming legalisation of Frequency Modulation on CB radio in the United States. 

Firstly we have the "FM Calling Channel 26.805" group who are looking to establish 26.805 (Channel 23 Low Band) as a new FM freeband calling channel. Some of the members hope to petition the FCC for an additional 40 channels to use the FM mode, either above or below the current legal 40 block. 

Secondly we have the "CB FM CALLING FREQUENCY 24 - 27.235mhz FM Users Group" who are taking a 'legal' approach and are trying to establish 27.235 (Channel 23 Mid Band) as a new FM calling channel. 

It will be interesting to see which approach is successful. You can find these groups by using the Facebook search facility.
