In their convo. the said they were talking on cb radio. Which I know not to be true. I just kept listening to them not saying a word. then they started talking about a black guy in a grey focus. my radio would go from channel 1-22 and would stay on 22 . i knew that they where closeto me somewhere since i could hear them really clear,but no line of site do to bad traffic.

Unfortunately, there are dicks everywhere. That’s offensive (or at least should be offensive) to all of us. Unless listening is required because you need situational awareness of some kind, I would just block that channel from being scanned. If it continues, record it and turn it in to the FCC, but chances are they won’t do anything about it. If you feel personally threatened (not just offended) then call the police.

PACNWComms Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 If it isn't swearing and racial slurs, it is who is smarter, has better radios, antenna's, cars whatever. This happens on every type of medium. "Feeding" them often makes the situation worse in the long run. In southern California there are amateur types that even throw out their call signs bashing certain people, using profanity, and trying to get a rise out of other users. so much so, it is almost a containment frequency for those users. Never ceases to amaze me, but on my own network, have a radio ID and a logging recorder that helps keep people honest. marcspaz and Sshannon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over2U Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 True, it may not have been Citizens Band Radio , but those two jerks certainly emulated the offensive language that can be heard all too often on CB. This does not bode well for the future of GMRS… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffRoaderX Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 There is an easy way to fix this: Turn the knob to a different channel. WRMN374, kerstuff, kirk5056 and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRUE951 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I hear garbage all the time, amazing how one or two clicks on the channel and the problems are gone. Sshannon and WRTT642 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
