The most important thing to understand when choosing a radio is that all CBs, regardless of price, are limited to 4 watts of transmission power by the FCC. This means that $ 50 bare-bones CB radio and $ 200, CB radio with chrome plated all the features imaginable will have exactly the same transmission power. While a radio can be "and reached set up, a process that increases the performance of CB, CB radios all have the same transmission power of the box.

What difference mainly CB radios from each other is their features, their strength not to leave. CB radios come with a number of features, the most popular of the one described below:

  • Squelch Control - This control adjusts the break-point at which a CB radio emits a signal. Indeed, constantly keeps the operator from having to listen to static and only activates the speaker when receiving a transmission. This is a standard feature and is included with the CB radio almost all sold.
  • RF Gain - Allows the user to filter the type of transmission of a CB radio receives based in signal strength. It is very useful for blocking off weak transmissions to eliminate background noise when talking to someone with a strong signal. This feature also can be used to pull in and hear weak signals better.
  • PA Capability - Allows the use of CB radio and microphone as a transmitter of a paging system. This requires a PA horn (usually not included) that can be mounted under the hood or on top of the vehicle.
  • Automatic Noise Limited (ANL) - Filters static, engine noise and other interference from the reception signal to improve the quality sound reception.
  • Capacities of time-CB Radios With this feature has the ability to access local stations NOAA radio for weather reports and updates.
  • Instant Channel 9 and 19 - The ability to quickly jump to two of the most popular channels: Channel 9 (Emergency) and Channel 19 (Highway / Truckers).
  • Nightwatch and / or Baffles Backlight - A number of more expensive models include a backlit display for convenient operation radio at night. This is a valuable feature if radius is widely used at night or in dark conditions. ?

When choosing a CB radio and their corresponding attributes is important to focus on how and where the CB will be used. The specific vehicle owners tend to want different features in a radio CB:

  • Tractors and trailers, large trucks: Professional drivers tend to want full-featured CB radio, since they are an essential communication tool on the road. As such, a good after market radio peak and tune "tends to increase performance be important. Cobra 29 LTD series is one of the most popular CB radios among professional drivers.
  • Jeeps and 4x4: Beyond the drivers often have the smaller cabs and tend to choose compact CB radios due to space limitations. The Uniden 510XL and Cobra 75 WX ST is the choice popular outside drivers for their compact size.
  • RV: RV owners traditionally have large cabin space that can accommodate large CB radios. Popular with RV owners include the ability to weather channel and front-mounted speakers for convenient in the installation of the board. The 18 WX ST II Cobra and Uniden Bearcat 538W are popular with RV owners.

There are a wide range of features available for CB radios and only the individual can determine the best set of features that best suits your needs.

Since all rays are limited to 4-band watts of output, the main determinant of the performance of radio is the antenna. A cheap radio installed correctly and the quality of CB antenna made infinitely better than an expensive radio and a poor antenna setup.
