cb radio microphone

I was wondering if I need to buy the cb radio, because all I really want is the pa system. Also if I do need to buy the cb radio, will I be able to do this on any type of cb radios, or do only certain radio's have the jacks.

you need the radio

***PLEASE NOTE**** Any distortion heard in this test video is because of the close proximity of the transmitting antenna(less than 50ft) and ...

Did you know that CB radio in the UK is being de-regulated on the 8th December 2006? This means from after that date you can get out your old UK27/81 and PR27GB radios and use them again legally without a licence? Did you also know that you can use CB while mobile? It isn't illegal to hold a hand held microphone whilst driving so you can chat 'in convoy' quite legally.... give it another go ex-breakers...you know you want to, and now it really is free ;o)

All the information is on the Ofcom website. Using a hand held microphone is perfectly legal. Holding a mobile phone isnt... Personally I have never seen a mic wrapped around a steering wheel...
I forgot to add 20,000 breakers are currently licenced in the UK.

Yes i heard. I have an old cb in my cupboard and if i can get a cheap aerial i will try it again. I never liked the idea of paying £15 when the airwaves were never policed and idiots sorted out. I hear its a lot quieter now so ill give it another go.

You can still be done holding a mic if it impaires your driving, but that is it. reading the ofcom website it appears to be legal.

10-10 good buddy and catch you on the flip flop lol..

is there an adapter that i can hook into a microphone jack on a CB that will let me plug a guitar plug into?

Nope, nothing commercial because its illegal..., it CAN be homemade if you are handy. you would need to figure out the wiring that would be fun....

I have a project where I'm taking two CB Radios, and taking a Y-Splitter and splicing them into one cord to LINE-IN on a computer. The computer has software that can split the RIGHT and LEFT audio channels back into separate CB channels to record the sound. What I have is a constant hum on the LEFT Audio channel, that happens no matter which one or both CB's are plugged in. I've chalked this upto the default LINE-IN input not handling the power coming from the CB's. The Software program suggests I get a better sound card or purchase a microphone pre-amplifier...where can I find the right device to purchase online, and what device would work perfectly for solving this hum issue?

Whenever you are combining two or more audio outputs to one or two (right and left) the best tool to do this and eliminate a lot of issues is a mixer. A small inexpensive mixer would work great for what you are doing.

Of course you would need the right cables to interface the CB's to the mixer and the mixer to the computer. They should all be "off the shelf" cables.

Here is a great small mixer that would do the trick:

I just bought an old Shure CB mic. there is no adapter at the end, just 4 loose wires i assume for a 4pin adapter. figuring out what wire goes to what ( ground, lead, PTT) should be pretty easy, but could anyone tell me how i should connect each wire to convert this mic into a usable vocal mic with a 1/4 jack i can plug into a guitar amp?

any help is greatly appreciated.

It depends on whether there is an internal preamplifier that needs an external voltage to power it. It also depends on the color code of that particular microphone. For example, if the wires are white, red, brown and either bare metal or black, the white is probably the mic element, which would be connected to the tip of the 1/4" plug, the red is probably the PTT switch, brown is probably a positive power supply voltage of 9-12V to power the mic's preamp (if it has one), and the bare metal or black is probably ground, which would be connected to the sleeve of the 1/4" plug.

You can use an ohmmeter to verify the wiring. Measure the resistance between the pins with the PTT depressed and not depressed. Whichever pins go to nearly zero ohms when the PTT is depressed are probably the PTT and ground. Then measure the other pins to find ones with between ten and few hundred ohms across them. Those are probably the mic and ground. If your mic has an internal preamp, you probably need to either power it or open up the case and bypass it for use with your guitar amp.
