 In the UK, it's not an offence to have rigs that go out of band, only to
 do it, so no problem there.

 In most cities and elsewhere too, you'll find that repeaters can be
 accessed using CTCSS. In some areas you can link repeaters using DTMF.

 Use the vocal method - whistle. You'd be surprised at how easy it easy to
 generate a 1750Hz tone whistle.

There is a "zip" file on Cleveland Hamnet BBS (216-942-6382) named 
HAMPIX.ZIP. It contains the ARRL, ARES, and SSC PCX.

An ARRL book I bought back in June '89 has this prohibition mentioned.
BTW, I had purchased the book and code tapes to pursue a Novice license, but
was discouraged after reading a book on the FCC regs, about the code-only
restrictions placed on Novices thru General class Hams.  No offense to CW
users intended.  What's the latest on the no-code situation?   Simon

I just wanted to thank all of you nice netters out there who answered the 
endless questions I had about cb radio and driving... :)

here is what I plan to do:

After Wed., when my finals are finally done and over with, I am going to
shop around at K-Mart, Price Club, Best, and such places.  But here is
what I basically have in mind:

	(1) get an external antenna that clips on to the trunk lid.  I looked
	    at one closely at Radio Shack today and fodun that it clips onto
	    the trunk lid with two hex screws.  I think if I put a piece of
	    rubber or cloth or something, that will give me a secure fit 
	    without leaving any marks.  (if someone has an opinion against
	    this, please email me back!)

	(2) get a Radio Shack TRC-479 (or equivalent from other place) and
   	    put that in my car, connecting the power source to the cigarette
	    adapter.  The RS is a 40 channel cb (I don't know the watt, I 
	    think its 4) mobile that comes with internal speakers and
	    external mike for 50 bucks.

with the two of these should run me about 80 bucks, and the for two pairs,
160 bucks.  kinda hefty, but I think its ok.  I am still considering just
putting on a external antenna to my 3 channel 3 watt tranciever and that
will just run me about 60 buck for two antennas, and about another 20 bucks
for other accessories, which is 80 bucks...half the price.  Is 40 channels
worth it?  I will think about it.

one last question, the trunk lid antenna.  does it fit onto the hood instead?
I also have a station wagon which in the future, I think I will need to 
fit the antenna on there, but it doesn't have a trunk since its a sation 
wagon!

thanks all!
