Hi,


I have a 04 UK 1800 with CB radio installed. Can someone please tell me are the frequencies of these 40 channels the same as those in US model?

you will note that it is FM in the UK where the US is AM.

A big warm welcome Dr Drift, good to have you on board. :waving:

No the US channels are different from the UK ones so you would not be able to hear the guys/ gals with American spec ones which are the frequencies of choice so to speak, since most of the Wings that have CB are imported ones.

It can be chipped I believe and Wexy may be able to put you onto someone over here that can do it for you.

Enjoy the forums and visit often.

Hi thanks for the reply.

Actually I am in Singapore and the 1800 is imported from UK with mph speedo.

What we wish to do is to program hand helds walkie to match the CB on the bikes. Works out as free cell phone when we ride to Malaysia

Well as said, the UK bikes are on FM so if the walkie talkies can be tuned in on FM then you should be good to go.

you could always change the set in the bike. As said before most wings use AM. Your fellow east wing would probally have that type.

Am is more useful on the move as it has greater range and not influenced by buildings as much. FM is weaker and chearer but over short distance.

My advice change the set!

If the CB is a genuine HONDA CB then it is on the AMERICAN frequencies ,because the EUROPEAN /UK 1800s are not fitted with CBs ,So if your bike is fitted with a genuine HONDA CB in the bottom of the back box then it is a USA spec bike with a USA CB ,if however your bike is fitted with an aftermarket CB with seperate switches fitted to the handlebars then the chances are it will have an AM/FM switch on it .In the UK they run on FM while in the USA they run on AM or vise a versa ,I am never sure which ones runs on which Most after aftermarket CB can switch between FM and AM ..

Hi DrDrift,

I am also from Singapore.

The frequency in the table are all in "AM" that we use either on the US spec or Euro spec in Spore. For Euro spec we use the CB radio which have AM/FM frequency. So you can program your handheld w/talkie using the frequency on the table.

Ride safe.

Thanks for the reply and hi to all Singaporeans!

It's actually my old man who is asking. I don't go long trips with him cos my ride is too slow to keep up on the North-South Highway, even though I am only a couple hundred cc away! I would think you probably have seen FA21M on the road before

Cheers!

DrDrift,

Ok I know your father, Ah Sum. His 21 mine 20 and Ah Tan 22. :dude:
Ask him to contact Tyson for the frequency. He should know Tyson very well.

\dr\drift i know you arte sorted but just to clarify UK use FM and the US use AM. If the CB is fitted to the bike ie underneath where the cd changer goes in the top box then its a US spec and AM,
