CB radio
Citizens'
Band radio (often shortened to CB radio) is a system of
short-distance radio communications between individuals on a selection
of 40 channels within the 27-MHz (11 m) band. The CB radio service is
distinct from FRS, GMRS, MURS, or amateur ("ham") radio. In many
countries, CB does not require a license and, unlike amateur radio, it
may be used for business as well as personal communications. Like many
other two-way radio services, Citizens' Band channels are shared by
many users. Only one station may transmit at a time. Other stations
must listen and wait for the shared channel to be available.
CB was once the only practical two-way radio system
for the individual consumer, and as such served several distinct types
of users such as truck drivers, radio hobbyists, and those who needed a
short-range radio for particular tasks. While some of these users have
moved on to other radio services, CB is still a popular hobby in many
countries. With the growth of technology and the CB been the old way of
communicating one might think that is no use for it any more but some
it managed to innovate itself with time.
The Midland is a world leader in wireless two-way and weather/hazard
alert radios, with an extensive line of land mobile radios, CB, GMRS
and FRS radios, MURS radios, weather-monitor alert radios, itinerant
radios and a line of quality antennas and accessories. This handheld CB
radio comes with seven watts of input and four watts of output (the
FCC maximum allowable.) This model is 33% smaller than its predecessor.
Other highlights include: automatic noise control, automatic gain
control, a bright LED
display, high/low power switch and a flexible antenna. This mobile
radio operates on nine AA batteries.
Battery saver circuitry helps saves energy; there is also a 12V DC
lighter socket adaptor included to help save batteries.
More and more of them are upgrading to better standards, its clear that
they will be around for a very long time. Wantitall is the place to
find the one you looking for.
