He blasts through my cb even if the squelch is at 100%. Dialing down the rf gain does accomplish the task but it severely limits what I use the radio for. Dude is a menace.
You can report him to the FCC I'm sure a lot of people already have. You could add your complaint to their list. FCC does sometimes go after people like Mark Sherman.
@@falcorthewonderdog2758 I did.. months ago. I got a response email to verify their receipt of my complaint and a case number with assurance they’d update as the investigation progressed. Nothing so far. Not a peep.
@@falcorthewonderdog2758 I filed a complaint on Oct 16 2023 and got an email back saying they would contact me with frequent emails throughout the investigation.. to keep me updated. Nothing. Not a peep.
FYI 19 didn't exist 50 yrs ago, but you are close to the idea. Problem being that, then all these morons and good buddies just follow & tear up the next channel and the next, etc., etc..
How about the one arrogant narcissist moves to a different channel instead of the millions of actual professionals who get an advantage out of using the same channel all over the country?
@@tommyw.9424you nailed it...but if we can't hear him, he has no purpose...he must be heard lol...and what's even more messed up is, he pretends he's having conversations with nearby truckers
Mud Bum is always talking, how can he do his repairs? LOL Thanks for the video. I hit your buttons , and left a like. 21 S.C. Lowcountry South Carolina
That ding dong out in the desert gets out like that Because he has a ghost rider box.. About 7 grand....and that fancy antenna setup. It also helps that he's way up on them hills. (Barefoot my ass)..nothing special about his radio sounds like a stock rig anyways 😅😂. I squelch him out as well..
Yep. You also can't hear anyone tell you about the traffic jam ahead until your past the exit you needed to take to go around it. That dude's going to get what's coming to him, one way or the other.
Believe me, I'm not defending mud duck. He irritates me just as much as anybody else, but I squelch him out. After driving for 45 years and using a CB radio every day I have found 99% of the time I leave my squelch all the way over I don't miss out on anything. Somehow you'll hear somebody breaking in and you reach up and turn it up and you will get the message. Our problem is not missing the messages. Our problem is nobody's talking on CB radios anymore. But yeah, I get what you're saying but I've never found that I've missed a message because my squelch was turned up to high. No doubt it could happen though.
In the summertime 27 MHz doesn't propagate as much as it does in the winter time. He's still on the radio. It just doesn't get out like it used to. As a Ham Radio operator it affects us greatly the summertime.
Only fifteen mi range?????? If I can't get 40 miles I shut it down have always had more than 40 miles ( but I am a base station ) lately if I can't get across the pond I shut it down till next day
I was trying to get rid of 'back to the bench' the other day. I live in northern Illinois. I turned my RF all the way down and that son of a gun still broke through.
Oh good grief give me a break. There's so many times squelch is referred to as turning the noise down ....but you are correct. If you want to be accurately in the description of controlling the function of the squelch knob, you are correct, but you understand what I mean .....if you want to turn the noise so that it's down and not bothering you, ultimately you are turning up the squelch. I hope you find a way to see through this small imperfection. Safe Trucking and keep your CB on.
What’s the point of having a high dollar radio if you ur going to limit your rx with the squelch?! He’s a pain in the ass. He ain’t working on radios when he’s running his mouth for 6 hrs a day
Well, for one thing, I'm not in the same place in the country where his Skip easily reaches me There's times when I'm in New Mexico there's times that I'm in California. His Skip usually reaches somewhere in the Midwest Northeast Florida depending on conditions. ....95% of the time when I want to talk on the Cb the people are within 100 yards of me With my squelch turned all the way up I still can hear someone easily 2 miles away .....if I need to go further than that I'll use a cell phone It's amazing how you guys let him bug you......you do realize more than likely your radio is bouncing 2000 miles away Also it's just not him when you can hear him there's people 2000 miles away that can hear you. That's the way these upper HF radios react as a Ham Radio operator I clearly understand how propagation affects the radio signal.
It's my Ham Radio at that time it was a TYT 9800. Now I have a Wouxun 980. That's just the head of it. The main box is up in the cubbyhole tucked away.
Quite simply they don't understand Cb Radio. They figure they have to have their squelch turned up so that they hear everything in order to hear somebody. That's a half a mile away. I hear so many truck drivers say they're tired of all the garbage on the radio and it's quite simply having their squelch turned up
Wow, haven't heard that term "mud duck" in a while. Looks like CB popularity once again rising after people left the hobby in favor of smartphones. There's nothing like the press and talk social media like CB.
Just turn your squelch all the way down or up so you don't hear anything ..I go weeks and I don't hear anything on the Cb Radio but yes if you keep your squelch, turn down where you hear all that Skip it will drive you nuts it serves no purpose to hear that unless you want to join in and talk to them. Which I do all the time I'll talk across this country from my truck on my radio. ....But just keep your squelch turned all the way up so you hear nothing and you will go weeks and nobody will say a thing on the Cb Radio ...but if for some reason somebody needs to talk to you they can and you'll be able to get the message ....I don't know how many times a day I try to talk to guys on the radio just little simple things sometimes major things 99% of the time they don't have their radio on that's all I would ask leave it turned on but utilize your squelch all the way and you won't hear a thing for weeks
You know, believe it or not there's drivers that keep their squelch turned all the way up because they're afraid they might miss something. I know you've gotta be a complete idiot to not understand how to run the squelch, but believe me half of the people that bitch about mud duck are those people that have no idea how to run a squelch..... this video was probably made more with tongue in cheek than anything.... but believe me the idiot drivers we have out here now They've gotta be instructed how to wipe their butt.
@@PIasmaZombie500 is for a new that’s stock. You buy one of these from someone like d rail you’ll spend up too close to $2000 depending on what you want done to it
I understand completely what you're saying. You should've been around back in the 80s and 90s holy hell there were thousands and I mean thousands possibly millions of mud ducks on the Cb Radio you had to be within 1 mile of the guy you wanted to talk to you otherwise the Skip covered the person you were trying to talk to you. Man let's try to get through this one guy that's bothering us today. Back in the 80s when everyone had a Cb half of them were putting out 100 W or more and the Skip was just unbelievable ....for about three years I talk to the arctic ocean from Arizona Every day I could talk to this man up on the 10th parallel line of the arctic ocean conditions are going to get like that in the next few months it's only going to get worse there's going to be hundreds of mud ducks but believe me, we found a way to work around it. I say conditions are going to get worse. Actually if you're a Ham Radio operator you're happy about this ....conditions are going to get better as a Ham Radio operator we're able to talk to the world when the sun is in this cycle.
So your cure is to not use the radio. Any conversation or information inside 1/2 a mile as you said is worthless. The idea is to know ahead of time what's going on so it can be avoided, safely find lanes around accidents, preventing them and other route to choose. I guess you have no need for real time information with your job. Why waste the money and effort on a big radio to do a proper job then. Any of these morons out there that are an issue aren't going to go away. Never have and never will. Only real solution would be is if some genius found a better play pen for them all to go play in. Someone they could aggravate & play CB Expert Rambo with. Your method basically amounts to: "If you don't like it, shut your radio off".
How does adjusting the squelch and turning down the RF gain affect how far one “get’s out”? Those two adjustments have zero effect on the transmitter, they’re strictly for receive only.
I'm describing how to cut out far away, signals not transmit... I'm talking about receiving. You are correct adjusting those two knobs will not help you to transmit at all.
Please tell me where I'm wrong. I can promise you 90% of these people that let mud duck bother them. They don't know how to squelch him out. I realize my video is the screaming the obvious.....if you don't get the undertone then maybe you better go back to your basement, ask your mom to help you
