CB Radio
A CB radio, also known as Citizen Band radio, is a radio that people can use to communicate with each other through the radio airwaves. The radio consists of a handheld talking device and a central piece where the sounds and channels are controlled. The CB radio antenna is found on the radio itself or on a vehicle. CB radios can be found commonly in 16-wheeler trucks where the truck drivers use them to communicate with one another.
The power in the radio is generated by the vehicle itself unless it’s a handheld CB radio in which it will be battery powered. The handheld CB radios are the best alternative to the cellular phones especially in emergency situation as cell phones may have no reception as it’s controlled by a phone company. The CB radio frequencies are independent and are not disrupted by another party. With this being said, handheld CB radio’s signal strength is weaker than that of a cell phone.
