The CB Story
The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast and
FCC regulations permit only “transmissions” (one party to another) rather than “broadcasts” (to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB Channels because that is “broadcasting.”
“Cuts Static coming in, adds Punch going out!”
Cobra proudly introduces the first Patent Pending technology that dramatically improves the transmission and reception of CB radio signals.
This revolutionary system reconfigures the transmission signal which allows it to be transferred more effectively through cluttered airwaves. It literally “punches” your message through the hundreds of thousands of signals that are in the air. At the same time, SoundTracker system dynamically adjusts the relationship between the signal and static commonly referred to as noise. This allows Cobra’s SoundTracker system to significantly reduce the amount of static on all incoming CB signals. The system can be further optimized when two SoundTracker CB’s are used to talk to each other.
The end result is a clearer, cleaner sounding reception of signals and more powerful transmissions which dramatically improve CB Communications
All transmitter adjustments other than those supplied by the manufacturer as front panel operating controls, must be made by, or under the supervision of, the holder of an
