MAXIMUM RANGE

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

The type and quality of antenna used

The height of the antenna’s mounting location — the higher the antenna, the better the sig- nal’s range

The surrounding terrain — moun- tains and tall buildings limit the range

Weather conditions

The number of nearby CBs oper- ating on the same channel

Standing wave ratio (SWR) be- tween the antenna and the CB

Note: Your CB radio’s transmission range is generally line-of-sight.
