I put these up due to not knowing which one you have

Hi Trevor,

The Midland radio you have is NOT capable of FM transmit & receive. It is a Citizen's Band radio that operates on channels 1 thru 40 that are assigned to the 26.965-27.405 MHz frequency range. These are the standard 40 Ch CB frequencies in the U.S. (and may not be legal for use in other parts of the world without a license from your country's communications authorities). It also offers Weather Band reception - again these are US frequencies that may or may not even be used at all in the UK. Since the radio only displays a channel number, you don't actually know the frequency you're monitoring or transmitting on. Your friends on CH 5 may be in a completely different band.

Even if they are on the same frequency, the fact that they are operating in FM mode means that you would hear something - but it may not be intelligible - and the same would be for them listening to you transmit in AM mode. If you could have them switch their radio to AM, all would be fine. I suspect they use FM as there is much less static when compared to AM.

If they won't change to FM, you'll either have to stop trying to talk to them or buy a radio capable of FM (and make sure it has the same frequencies as theirs!).

Good luck!

• For 11 meter (CB) the standard 40 channels will be the exactly same as the "EU" set of frequencies (channels). However the "UK" 11 meter (40 channels) and the U.S.A. 40 11 meter (40channels CB) will not work together at all. This includes any actual Citizen Band radio, excluding Export 10 an 12 meter radios often labeled as "CB'S" which they are not.

• Hope this helps.

the first button on the right hand side changes the fm to am but these usually break down. it is a small push button switch with four legs two at each side, but recomend sending it in for repair.

The user manual can be found in PDF form here: http://www.alan-uk.com/cb/manuals/42%20multi%20manual.pdf

While it will "work" if used to talk with another US CB model, it is not legal. Also, UK CBs use FM modulation while the US versions use AM. Even if they are on the same frequency, they cannot communicate with each other.

For a good discussion of this, look at the following link:

Hi yes it is possible as is anything if your willing to pay for the conversion , it would require new chrystals and resetting of the If system but is possible . However porobably not economical Midland did do The 100 model in an Fm modulation format and you will probably find still available on Ebay or Amazon if not that paticular one a good version at any rate ..I beleive they did actually do an Am Fm model also ...Regards Vortash
