Default CB and Passenger

Does anyone know if the passenger can hear and talk on the CB radio? I want to be able to talk to other bikes in our ride without the passenger hearing it. I haven't tried it yet, I was just asking so I know what I can expect.
Thanks

Yes, they can. they can turn the volume down, so that it doesn't come through. Or just don't give them a headset.

The passenger can both hear and talk on the CB. There is a button that the passenger pushes to talk (unless you already have the mic open).

If you don't want the passenger to hear, take the CB off the speakers, run by way of headset - and turn that headset off. Or, run the CB by way of speakers and turn the vol down so the passenger can hear it.

Don't mid my wife hearing what I say to others - so, I leave everything on.

I know reading the manual is sometimes a PIA but it really is all in there

I think guys like you are hilarious. If people didn't ask questions on this forum, what would be the purpose of the forum. Why do you open a thread if this is your answer...simply to scold someone? Just ignore.

I'm sure if you read the details or instructions for this forum, you would have realized that you are not obliged to respond to messages. I know it can be a PIA but, seriously, it's there.

You really think my 'suggestion' was a Scolding??? wow!!! It was only a suggestion, I have both read and ask questions and gone back and read and it really is all in there but we often have a hard time trying to understand it... However, with the manual in hand and sitting on the bike - often a light bulb will come one..

Interesting, I suggest read the manual and you tell me to read the details.. lol
