Got CONNEX 4800..now need help!
Hello everybody. I am a complete newb and boob to the radio world.
In Oct. 2005 I had an opportunity with my company to move into the trucking division. I had never even seen the inside of one before. After my training, I realized very quickly how important communications were. I needed information on directions, weather, traffic, detours, dummies, drunks, or just a friend to keep me awake. I rushed right out, bought a Uniden PC78XL. and had it hot rodded by the best tech in the DFW area. Well since then, you can guess, I heard the clarity of other drivers punching through like they were riding in the seat next to me.
That’s what I wanted! To be heard clear and proud. My mission was to do plenty of research and find a radio in a decent price range that would be fun yet do the job I needed to get from point A to point B and back.
My mission paid off….thus comes the Connex 4800. Now I am totally lost on all the functions and benefits this radio has to offer. In the next few weeks I’d like to ask a ton of questions (knob by knob, button by button) and hopefully get a ton of answers. It looks like I came to the right forum!
Let’s start with this one.
Q: What is the +10KHz button for and how do I use it?

A: the 10k button/switch will put ya in between normal channel.. every so often thru the band they skip a freq.. 3-7-11-15-19 I think are the ones skipped.. you can go to them channels flip the switch and be inbeteween the channels.... hidden channel,
hope this makes since..
