CB Radios

Do you need a CB radio? Well, ‘need’ might be pushing it too much, but there are benefits to owning one, regardless if you are keeping it for personal use or business reasons.

Truckers have had the CB radio, short for citizens band radio, mostly to keep themselves updated on the road, but casual drivers and motorcyclists could also benefit from the connectedness it allows with others in the same situation.

They are useful in instances where you would be out in the woods with a group so that you can account for everyone with you and everything that you must have.

For such a small and limited device, there are many purposes it can serve, so we would not be inclined to dismiss such a piece of equipment that has been around for a long time so quickly.

CB radios are categorized under what is called personal radio service. Generally. they won’t necessitate a license to use, as opposed to two way or ham radios.

There also is no age limit, so you can tinker around even when you’re with your kid. But the signals transmitted and received on CB radios travel on considerably shorter distances, whereas ham radios allow contact on far away countries.

CB radios also operate on only 40 different channels, often available in either an AM or single-sideband mode. There is etiquette observed in using these channels because they are shared and could only accommodate a certain number of people at any given time.
