CB Radios Auction Site USA

CB radios are now common only among truck-drivers, emergency services (such as law enforcement and ambulances), and CB hobbyists.

 

Generally the more expensive the radio the more features it has. You must only use the CB radio only on the channels that are allowed in the country you want to use the CB in. Cobra is one of the most respected names in the CB radio industry, and offers many features not available on other radios.

 

For structures, the highest point of your CB radios antenna must not be more than 20 feet above the highest point of the building or tree on which it is mounted, or 60 feet above the ground. While CB radios have decreased in popularity when compared to the heydays of the 1970s, they are still in demand and, in some industries, are widespread. The use of CB radios is no longer subject to any license or tax today, the taxes being paid by the importer.

 

Although the introduction of cellular phones has decreased the number of CB operators, CB radios are still the main form of communication between truckers. The bigger the radio and the bigger the antenna, the better. If you compare prices with most CB stores on the web, with a local store or shop, you'll most likely be shocked by how much you can save by buying CB Radios and equipment online.

 

CB radios can be a sensible solution for communications between two cars or trucks (with external antennas), or for communications between a 'base station' at home or work (with a big high antenna) and a car. VHF two way radios work well outside, while UHF radios (such as GMRS and FRS radios) work well in many environments including inside buildings.

 

CB radio range varies from a few miles to possibly thousands of miles. Look for CB Radios that include a Noise Blanker ("NB") switch, which helps minimize some of the noise better than standard CB's that have no noise filters, or just an "ANL" switch.
