COMMON USES FOR A CB RADIO

Business Uses

Truck drivers and delivery per- sonnel can learn road and traffic conditions and get assistance in locating destinations. A CB is also good company 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 convenience — 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 com- municating 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 a relief it is to be able to radio 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.
