Therefore, no adaptations are required for using CB gear when traveling between Canada and the U. Other European countries have additional channels. Germany, for example, gets 80 channels by adding the 26 MHz frequency. Some other countries, such as Japan and New Zealand, have frequency assignments that don't match those of any other countries. If you use your CB equipment in countries that don't match our frequency, mode and power requirements, you would be operating outside the laws of both that country and the U.
For a chart listing various countries, bands, bandwidths, modes, power and antenna system specifications, see this page listing CB frequencies around the world. One key consideration that operators must make when operating these radios is the size of the unit. Contrary to what some believe, a larger radio doesn't mean that you'll receive better CB radio frequencies remember, legal CB radios are only allowed 4 watts of output power!
There are a wide variety of small radios that will take up only a small portion of space and are a perfect addition to trucks, RVs and passenger vehicles. Another major consideration that operators must think about is the CB antenna.
Many assume that a top notch radio must have a fabulous antenna, but many are poorly set up and lead to poor reception. For the best functionality, a quality antenna that's installed properly will always give CB operators the best sound quality, regardless of how expensive or inexpensive the unit may be. About Us.

What Features To Look For to Improve CB Frequencies and Transmissions Nothing's worse than trying to tune into CB channels and only receive muffled voices mixed in with an overwhelming amount of crackling static in return.
Different Features for Different Uses of CB Channels How you plan on using your CB radio as well as which channels you may be trying to tap into will be the difference in which features you'll find beneficial. These features will help anyone improve the quality of their CB frequencies: RF Gain : With this feature, an operator is able to create filters so that only a strong CB radio frequency and transmission is received. It's handy for two reasons: one, it can block out any weak transmissions so that there is less background noise when you're speaking with someone who has a strong channel signal.
The other benefit is that it can be used to help bring in weak signals and improve the clarity of all CB radio channels. Automatic Noise Limiter : Also known as "ANL", this feature improves your reception sound quality as it allows operators to filter out interference, such as static and engine noise.
This is particularly evident if you drive a larger truck; a radio with this feature will save you a lot of annoying static noise.
Instant Channel Functions : Some radios will allow users to quickly jump to two of the most popular CB channels: 9 the emergency CB channel and 19 a channel for truckers. Weather Reporting : Through this feature, your radio will be able to tap into any local NOAA radio stations so that you can receive real-time weather updates.
Not only is this handy for truckers, but it's equally useful for RV or motor home drivers as well. PA Functions : Your radio can transform into a public address system, though a PA horn which is usually sold separately must be mounted on top of your vehicle or under the hood.
Backlit Displays : If you plan on driving extensively during the darker hours of the day, then this feature is an absolute must-have. Though only commonly included in the more expensive models, it's a worthwhile investment. To make an emergency call, switch your radio to Channel 5 with duplex on, if there is no response, try again with duplex off.
Channel 22 and are only to be used for telemetry and telecommand, packet data and voice transmission are not allowed. Channel 61, 62 and are reserved for future allocation and transmission on these channels is not allowed. At the user end, all that is required is a basic radio set. The key disadvantage is that it operates on a line-of-sight basis, and therefore has very short reach.
Under normal conditions, you can expect a good signal over a distance of 5 to 8km; in a high position such as a hill , this can be increased to up to 25km. Channels 9, , , 30, 39, , , 79 and General chat channels, simplex use. Channel Call Channel used for locating friends — a general meeting point for when communications are lost or beginning, before moving to another channel.
Channel Australia Wide road safety channel used primarily by truckies and oversized load pilot vehicles. Any transmissions sent on non-duplex channels are sent in simplex mode, or directly between radio sets without the use of a repeater. In the channel bandwidth or frequency spacing was split in two from 25kHz to This effectively doubled the number of available channels from 40 to the current While most older radio units are not compatible, it is still possible to use them until the end of the 5-year transition period It is important to remember that channels 5 and 35are strictly for emergency communications, as emergency services monitor channel 5 for requests for help.
People found to be misusing these or any other designated channels can face hefty fines. For the most part, users are well behaved and respect the rules, but you may encounter trolls who want to cause trouble or new users who are unaware of the etiquette. Open to everyone - Often used by truckers for regional roads.
Simply, other frequencies belong to other kinds of operators. Above these CB Radio Frequencies The federal government controls The Civil Air Patrol, part of the U. The meter amateur radio Ham band runs from
