WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR NEW COBRA CITIZENS BAND TRANSCEIVER

Citizens Band Two-Way Radios operate on an AM frequency, just like your car radio.

FIRST: When you first use your new CB you should tune to channel 19. At first, you may hear what you think is a lot of noise and garble.

What you are hearing are parts of many faraway conversations that are drifting into your transceiver. To eliminate the "noise" you need to set up the SQUELCH control. It will silence the "noise" by tuning your receiver to "hear" only close-by com- munications. Turn the SQUELCH control to the right until you silence the noise. You will need to adjust this control as the "noise" level will go up or down depending on your location.

SECOND: Try a broadcast. Say, "Break One-Nine for a Radio Check." Listen for a response from another CBer near you. If you do not get a response repeat the message. When you get a response ask, "How are you receiving my transmission?" NOW YOU ARE ON THE AIR! Try asking about the road conditions, the weather conditions, a good place to eat.

Don't be afraid to talk.
