MAXIMUM RANGE

The maximum range and quality of CD transmissions vary depending on the
following conditions:

-The type and quality of antenna used.

-The height of the antennas mounting location - the higher the antenna,
 the better the reception.

-The surrounding terrain - mountains and tall buildings limit the range.

-Weather conditions.

-The number of nearby CBs operating on the same channel.

CB COURTESY

Follow these courtesy guidelines when using the CB:

-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.

-Do not hold down TALK when you are not talking.  (This is called dead
 keying).

-Assist callers with directions, information about road conditions, and
 any other reasonable requests.

USING COMMON 10-CODES

Citizens band radio operators have largely adapted the 10-codes for
standard questions and answers.  These codes permit faster communication
and better intelligibility in noisy areas.  The following table lists some
of the more common codes and their meanings.
