Citizens Band Radio

Citizens Band Radio (CB Radio) is a short-range radio communication system that allows individuals to talk with each other using designated frequencies without needing a license. Popular since the 1970s, CB radio operates on 40 channels in the 27 MHz range, primarily used for personal, recreational, and light commercial communication. Users typically include truck drivers, hobbyists, and emergency services. CB radios are valued for their simplicity, accessibility, and ability to facilitate communication in areas with limited mobile signal, making them a practical tool for both locals and travelers.
