MAXIMUM RANGE

The maximum range and quality of CB radio transmissions vary

depending on the following conditions:

• The type and quality of antenna used

• The height of the antenna’s mounting location — the higher

the antenna, the better the signal’s range

• The surrounding terrain — mountains and tall buildings

limit range

• Weather conditions

• The number of nearby radios operating on the same chan-

nel

Note:

Your CB radio’s transmission range is generally line-of-

sight. To ensure maximum range, always keep fresh or fully-

charged batteries in your CB radio.

USING COMMON 10-CODES

Citizen’s band operators and CB radio users have largely adopt-

ed the 10-codes for standard questions and answers. These

codes permit faster communication and better intelligibility in

noisy areas.
