Hi guys, my name is Sean and I have just bought my first CB radio (Intek M490 starter kit) for my mini from Thunderpole. I have never had a CB before so this is all new to me and I hope to pick up some hints and tips from here!

Cheers, Sean

Thanks guys! I received my CB radio today from thunderpole.co.uk and now looking forward to rigging it up :P I can totally recommend anyone from ordering from thunderpole as the delivery was very well wrapped and it arrived the very next day!

Best wishes,

Sean

Hi Guys, I'm doing good with the rig. I've set it up in my mini and have heard a few people talking but haven't spoke to anyone yet because I don't really know what to say on the thing lol

lol! well to start off with you could go out in the car and get up high on a hill and ask for a radio check to make sure you are transmitting properly, and to check the speech through the mike. you`ll get the hang of it! before you know it ule be like an extra on convoy!

Hi dc4, I have spoken lol. I did what you said and asked for a radio check/call back on channel 19. Within seconds a guy came through, introduced himself and told me when my mic was loud and clear! I'm now looking forward to chatting to more people on the radio :P :lol:

I have picked up one guy who is local and the furthest so far has been just over 10 miles away :D Over the weekend I will try and get high up and see who I can pick up and get a location from them!
