MAXIMUM RANGE
The maximum range and quality of CB
radio transmissions vary depending
on these conditions:
The type and quality of antenna
used
The height of the antenna’s
mounting location — the higher
the antenna, the better the sig-
nal’s range
The surrounding terrain — moun-
tains and tall buildings limit the
range
Weather conditions
The number of nearby CBs oper-
ating on the same channel
Standing wave ratio (SWR) be-
tween the antenna and the CB
Note:
Your CB radio’s transmission
range is generally line-of-sight.
