CB Radio Frequently Asked Questions

A: No, CB (Citizens Band) radio does not require a license in the United States. Anyone can operate a CB radio without any permit or test.

A: The FCC limits CB radios to 4 watts AM output power. Some radios advertise higher "peak" wattage, but legal output is 4 watts AM or 12 watts SSB. For more range, invest in a quality antenna rather than looking for more power.

A: Channel 19 is the most commonly used channel for truckers and highway communication. Channel 9 is designated for emergencies. Different areas may have local channels as well.

A: AM (Amplitude Modulation) is standard CB and compatible with all CB radios. SSB (Single Sideband) offers greater range and less interference but requires both parties have SSB-capable radios.

A: Typical range is 4-10 miles depending on terrain, antenna quality, and conditions. With a properly tuned antenna and optimal conditions, you can sometimes reach 20+ miles.

A: For a mobile installation, you need: the CB radio, an antenna, antenna mount, coax cable, and a power source. We recommend an SWR meter to properly tune your antenna.

A: An SWR meter measures how efficiently your antenna is transmitting. A high SWR reading means signal is being reflected back to the radio, which can damage it. We strongly recommend tuning with an SWR meter.

A: Yes! Magnetic mount antennas are a great option for temporary installations or if you don't want to drill. They work well on any metal vehicle surface.
