CB Radio Channels

CB radios, or Citizens Band radios, operate on 40 designated channels within the 27 MHz frequency range. Each channel allows for short-distance communication, typically up to a few miles depending on conditions. Users can transmit voice messages and communicate with others in real time, making CB radios popular among truckers and outdoor enthusiasts. Channels are numbered from 1 to 40, with some channels designated for specific uses, such as emergency communications. Unlike typical radios, CB radios do not require a license, making them accessible for general public use. Proper etiquette and channel discipline are encouraged for effective communication.
