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.
