CB Radio is a public, two-way radio service within 40 channels defined by the FCC on the 11 meter radio band. Class D Citizen Band radio began in 1958 with 23 channels defined in the 11 meter band. Part 95 of the Code of Federal Regulations regulates the Class D CB service, on the 27 MHz band, since the 1970s and continuing today.CB Radio is a two-way radio service within 40 channels defined by the FCC on the 11 meter radio band.

The Citizens Band Radio Service is for short-distance voice communications service for individual or business activities. The CB Radio Service may also be used for voice paging. * Frequency: 11 meter* Frequency: 11 meter (HF)* Band: 3-5 kHz * FCC Reg: Part 95 See also: [[CB Radio International Frequencies]]Other modifications include increasing the output power and increasing the modulation. Additional transmit power can be achieved with a linear amplifier.

Mobile Ham operators all over the U.S. are observing and reporting truckers talking above 28mhz and will report them to the FCC. ==CB Performance Folklore==Michael Rawls of shadowstorm.com put it best when he said, "''Most CB'ers are clueless about radio theory. The CB band is filled with average joes with no formal electronics training trying to guess at radio theory. As a result, nonsense CB folklore has filled the airways for decades. If you actually start cracking the radio theory books and start learning legitimate radio theory you will be quickly outnumbered by CB'ers who have no clue what they are talking about. They will argue with you until h*ll freezes over, and they will be wrong the whole time.''"

For entertainment, a CB operator known as "The Duke" used to claim to be in foreign countries while talking to CB'ers and they were convinced they were working the world on their little modified (or electronically butchered) CB radio. It is easy to see how some myths get started.Mobile Ham operators all over the U.S. are observing and reporting truckers talking above 28mhz and will report them to the FCC. Michael Rawls does introduce some interesting facts about antenna gain. "''On the 27 MHz CB band, the taller a vertical omni directional antenna the higher the gain up to about 23 feet. [...] The highest real gain omni-directional CB antennas currently on the market are the full length 5/8 wave. [...] 5/8 wave and .64 wave antennas also have a much lower angle of radiation than 1/2 wave and 1/4 wave antennas. A low angle of radiation really pays off when trying to talk to distance skip station in excess of 1500 miles.'' "[[Category:CB Radio]]
