OPERATIONAL HINTS

Like most activities, CB radio has its customs and courtesies. The following tips will help you get the most enjoyment from your transceiver.

COMMON USES FOR A CB

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 those “long hauls.”

On construction crews, a CB quickly pays for itself when you are calling for additional materi- als or coordinating the activities of different 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-car (or more) family, CBs are great for communicating with family members while they are in their cars.

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

Ever have car trouble or run out of gas on the highway? What an assurance it is to be able to call for assistance!

Camping, fishing, and other sports are more fun with a CB. Locate a buddy or find out “what’s cooking” back at camp.
