What is CB?

Citizens Band radio (CB) is a 2-way voice communication system for personal use for the general public.  It lets you talk from your truck, car, home, business, or boat to other people who have a CB radio. Technically, a CB radio is a transceiver. It functions both as a radio transmitter (when sending messages) and a receiver (when receiving messages). Citizens Band radio was created by the FCC in 1958. There are as total of 40 channels on the CB band.  Channel 19 is unofficially regarded as a general-purpose channel to make contacts and listen to conversations and reports of traffic and road conditions.  Channel 9 is reserved for emergency communications.

Do I need a license to operate a CB?

No license is required.  The FCC used to issue licenses for CBs, but they discontinued that requirement many years ago.

"Not impressed at all yet. I get nobody chatting going channel by channel or on scan. I drive I-5 about 75 miles each way and get no chatter on any channel. Seems like it’s not working."

"I just received a HH50WXST. Works great and great sound too. The scan is fast Very nice screen Long battery life. This is my fourth Cobra. The first was Cobra 29 about 1980. It great but trying to drive and adjust the CB not best think. My next two was 75WXST first in 1989 and last one on my pick I purchased new in 2001. Use it till sold the truck last month. Thd person buy truck wanted the CB he like too. Replacement with handheld HH50WXST. Great choice as use in home and car like being in my truck again. I order a long range Antenna. The only downside is keys are not back-lit"
