President Herbert 40 Channel AM/FM European CB Radio
The initials “CB” are used by Americans to designate the Citizens’ Band. This frequency band, which began to be used in the 50’s, enabled American truckers to break the monotony of long distances and to get help when they broke down; hence, the spirit of solidarity this means of communication has always tried to transmit. At first, it was mostly used by truck drivers who, in introducing its principle, also created a special language based on Americanisms, contractions and coded expressions.
CB RADIOS: HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRANSCEIVERS
CB radios allow you to receive and transmit messages free. Several people can exchange remarks, at the same time, and on the same channel. This distinctive feature is the very basis of the CB spirit and results in conviviality and openness towards others. As opposed to telephones which work in duplex mode, conversations take place in simplex mode, in other words you must wait until the end of your correspondent’s message before sending your own.
