TIPS FOR USING YOUR CB
Like most activities, CB radio has its customs and
courtesies. The following tips will help you get the most
enjoyment from your CB.
BUSINESS USE
• Truck drivers and delivery personnel can learn road
and traffic conditions and get assistance in locating
destinations. A CB is also good company on long road
trips.
• On construction crews, a CB quickly pays for itself
when you are calling for additional materials or
coordinating the activities of different work crews.
• For security officers, a CB is more than a convenience
— it is a must for both safety and efficiency.
PERSONAL USE
• Keep in touch with home while driving to work, to the
store, or to a social activity. Let your family know you
are tied up in traffic or that you will stop by the store on
the way home.
• If you are a two-car (or more) family, CBs are great for
communicating with family members while they are in
their cars.
• Contact friends or neighbors. Find out “what’s
happening” or plan a get-together.
• Ever have car trouble or run out of gas on the highway?
What an assurance it is to be able to call for assistance!
• Camping, fishing, and other sports are more fun with a
CB. Locate a buddy or find out “what’s cooking” back at
camp.
TRANSMISSION COURTESY
• Wait for a pause in someone else’s transmission before
you ask for a break.
• If you do not receive an answer to your call after a
second attempt, sign off and wait several minutes
before trying again.
