934mhz

Just to say that am again back on the 934mhz CB Band and listening for anyone when the conditions allow during the sporadic e season

Reftec 934
Electret Mike
Antenna is a Ropex M900 BASE ANTENNA (thanks to 19SD348 Henry)

is this band still available in the uk? i have never known anyone on this freq, who made radios for this band?

Sadly the band was deleted but there are still some people there operating, the same goes for Switzerland that ended the service back in 2003.

Cybernet
Reftec
Uniden

And a few others made radios and indeed companies like Sandpiper were in the market with a few antennas

i thought it is used now by tele comms now the 934 here in the uk ,used to go mobile with a mate who was badley into the 934 in the 80.s on the hills in wales and sometimes scotland but locally it was full of lets say hams who,d bought them and didnt even gives us a radio reort when we qsk,ed ourselves in thats why we went mobile all the time with it

Thats some bad news, here we normally hear Holland, Guernsey and Switzerland during the summertime, more than that not alot

is it a big no no to use this band if you are a licenced ham? if the answer is yes then 4 locals to me best be carefull.for the last 3 days i have heard them on a 70cm repeater saying they are going to start using these radios again due to all mobile phone being digital now and the band is just sitting there.

People are the same here, 934mhz radios are more common now than before.

I have a reftec 934 and a house antenna for the summer
(so some people tell me, not commital and otherwise)

I have seen a few 934 Mhz sets for sale on various sites .I remember when they first started and the equipment so very expensive so very few bought it .I believe they were only 20 channel sets but with more than 10Khz spacing if I remember .Brilliant thing about them is the size of a multi element beam .I saw this posting recentely if anyone is interested in it ,it's not mine by the way ,just helping with a link .

Rather stick to HF here but we all have different preferences .I remember that amps were not available ( masthead I think was ) .

All the best
