General CB
information.
In 1958, The Federal
Communications Commission
approved the use of 23 channels by
duly licensed Citizens Band radio
operators. The authorization was
expanded to 40 channels in 1977.
A simple, basic means of
communication, CB requires no more
skill or knowledge than the operation
of a standard AM or FM receiver.
Still, there are certain facts,
procedures and "rules of the road"
you'll need to know in order to make
the most of your CB experience.
Make it "short and sweet."
When
using your CB, get on and off the air
as quickly as possible. Never use
profanity — which is against the law.
and subject to heavy penalties. Follow
the FCC rules outlined in Part 95.
Use Channel 9 in emergencies
only.
Emergency channel 9 is
designated for this purpose and this
purpose alone.
The FCC has given public safety
agencies various "call signs" including
"0911" numbers, coinciding with the
"911" phone numbers these agencies
use in telephone communications.
The call signs for state-level
agencies use 3 letters and 4 numbers,
with the second and third letters being
the official Post Office state
abbreviation, e.g., "KS" for "Kansas."
Why and how to use the "10
Code."
Developed over the years by
official agencies in order to save time
and provide precise, clear messages,
the "10-Code" has become a popular
tool for CBers.
