Hi all,

 

A favourite past time I was into was the CB radio.

 

Unfortunately with advances in internet technologies and communications CB radio is not gone but greatly depreciated and quickly disappearing.

 

I have been following a new craze for some time now and I think its something we can all get involved with nationally and globally.

 

Basically what's been done is to take the inners of a android phone and put it in the design and case of a CB radio.

 

Coupled with a few apps for android you can now use Internet Voice Chat over 3G/4G and wifi.

 

Its basically like a reincarnation of the CB radio with the bonus of been able to chat all over the world.

What my plan is to do is to create our own Private Internet Chat server to use TeamSpeak or equivalent services.

 

Then any member on here can chat to each other live like CB radio.

 

No investment is required for you to join in on any of the channels as you just install the app on your phone or pc.

 

But what I plan to do is to install a INRICO TM-8 shown below :

 

 

This will connect via wifi to my mobile for internet but it can take its own sim card to be independent.

 

Its a small investment of £160 but it will allow to chat to anyone on the system no matter where I am.

 

So if this is something you could be interested in let me know.

Chat server now setup and tested :

 

If you wish to connect and chat then go to : https://teamspeak.com/en/ and download the client

 

then when connecting to a server enter : chat.300zx.co.uk

 

Please setup your Nickname to the same as your Club Username so we know who you are.
