MAXIMUM RANGE

The maximum range and quality of CB radio transmissions vary depending on the following conditions:

The type and quality of antenna used

The height of the antenna’s mounting location — the higher the antenna, the better the signal’s range

The surrounding terrain — mountains and tall buildings limit range

Weather conditions

The number of nearby radios operating on the same chan- nel

Note: Your CB radio’s transmission range is generally line-of- sight. To ensure maximum range, always keep fresh or fully- charged batteries in your CB radio.

USING COMMON 10-CODES

Citizen’s band operators and CB radio users have largely adopt- ed the 10-codes for standard questions and answers. These codes permit faster communication and better intelligibility in noisy areas.
