CB OPERATION TIPS

The following tips will help you get the most enjoyment from your TRC-237.

COMMON USES FOR A CB RADIO

Business Uses

•Truck drivers and delivery personnel can learn road and traffic conditions and get assistance in locating desti- nations. A walkie talkie is also good company on those “long hauls.”

•On construction crews, a walkie talkie quickly pays for itself when you are calling for additional materials or coordinating the activities of differ- ent work crews.

•For security officers, a walkie talkie is more than a convenience — it is a must for both safety and efficiency.

Personal Uses

•Keep in touch with home while driv- ing 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, walkie talkies are great for communi- cating 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 assur- ance it is to be able to radio for assis- tance.
