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.

Reviews

Well it'll seem like it'll

"Well it'll seem like it'll be okay. It didn't come with batteries so I put regular batteries in it until I can order some rechargeable batteries"

"Receive having trouble hearing others, didn’t have time to test outside antenna yet, you have to give time to test"

Everything As Adverstsed

"Great size & weight to be mobile. Appears to tune in well to each channel with effective squelching. I just may buy another one as a companion for my wife. I'm a loyal Cobra user since 1977. I'm going to check their Ham transceivers as well, just as soon as I get my license."

The product review I read

"The product review I read said you could talk and transmit up 1 mile of clear reception and I could not barely talk 200 feet away to my trucks with mounted cobra CB’s in them, I am very disappointed in this unit. The instructions did help some to that point but very little. I really loved the size of the unit of its compact design and layout. The sound quality would have been better if the reception would have been good."

John C. (1/5)

Happy so far

"Arrived in timely manner. Was as described. Seems well built with good materials. Seems to work well with short antennae. Haven’t tried with roof mount yet. Pleased with price/value."

Q&A

No FM on this model? Welcome to 1999. Obsolete out of the box.
Thank you for your question. The HH RT 50 Road Trip does not offer FM. We do have some AM/FM models. For details, please feel free to contact us at 800-543-1608.
HOW IS THIS POWERED
Thank you for your question. The HH RT 50 - ROAD TRIP requires 9 “AA” alkaline or NiMH batteries rated at 1000 mAh (not included with the unit).
Can a wall charger be used?
You can use an AC charger for the HH RT 50/HH 50 WX ST. These are available for purchase on our site at the link below. Thanks! https://www.cobra.com/products/ca45cb?variant=6927164407870
How far is the range of radio communications?
Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this question. All Cobra CB radios transmit using the maximum FCC allowable power output of four watts. There are two main factors that will affect the range of your transmissions: RADIATED POWER Although the radio transmits with 4 watts of power, the performance will be affected by how efficiently the antenna radiates this power. Contributing factors include the following: The condition and location of the antenna (higher is better)The physical length of the antenna (longer is better)The proper matching of the standing wave ratio or SWR. (For more information on setting the SWR, please refer to the relevant FAQ) ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Tall buildings, trees, hills, and interference from other CB radios all limit the effective range of a CB radio. Certain atmospheric conditions (such as sunspot activity) can also affect the range for CBs. If we were to eliminate all negative environmental factors, a properly set up base station could communicate between 10 to 15 miles, a mobile unit 5 to 7 miles, and a hand held unit approximately 2 miles with the only variable being the type of antenna used. Unfortunately, these optimum conditions rarely exist and the range of your unit will typically be less depending on the conditions under which you are operating. The easiest way to maximize your range is to use the longest antenna possible, and make sure that the SWR is properly adjusted.
Does the model hh rt 50 have a compatible speaker/mic
Yes, part number PMR-SM. Please call to order. 800-543-1608 Thanks!
