CB OPERATION TIPS

Like most activities, CB radio users have customs and courtesies. The following tips will help you get the most enjoyment out of your CB.

TYPICAL USES FOR A CB RADIO

Business Uses

Truck drivers and delivery personnel can learn road and traffic conditions and get assistance in locating destinations. A CB is also good com- pany on these “long hauls.”

Used by construction crews, a CB quickly pays for itself when you are calling for additional materials or coordinating the activities of differ- ent work crews.

For security officers, a CB is more than a conve- nience — it is a must for both safety and effi- ciency.

Personal Uses

Keep in touch with home while driving to work, to the store, or to a social activity. Let your family know you are tied up in traffic or that you will stop by the store on the way home.

If you are a two-or-more car family, CBs are great for inter-car communications while family members are going places.

Contact friends or neighbors — find out “what's happening” or plan a get-together.
