Citizen Band Radio

Citizen Band Radio (CB Radio) is a short-range communication system that allows individuals to transmit and receive voice messages on designated radio frequencies. Primarily used in the United States, it operates on 40 channels between 26.965 and 27.405 MHz. CB radios do not require a license, making them accessible for personal use, including business, emergency communication, and recreational activities like trucking. Users typically use handheld or mobile CB radios, which can connect people over several miles, depending on conditions. CB has a rich culture, with its own slang and community, providing a platform for casual conversation and information sharing.
