Cobra's aptly named HH Road Trip 40-channel handheld CB radio is ready
to travel anywhere you do, bringing access to 10 NOAA weather channels
and a four-mile range from its 4 watts of power. The onboard
SoundTracker system reduces audible noise and interference by up to 90
percent over non-SoundTracker devices. Whether you're using it for
emergency backup or convenient conversation between vehicles or camps,
the HH Road Trip brings you quality CB communication. High/low power switch reduces power consumption, extending battery
life during spells when high power is not required. The unit operates on
nine AA batteries (alkaline or Ni-Cd; batteries not included), or runs
off your vehicle battery through the supplied DC cord with
cigarette-lighter plug. An included magnet-mount antenna ensures maximum
range.
The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast and 10-meter
Amateur radio bands and was established by law in 1949. The Class D
two-way communications service was opened in 1959. FCC regulations
permit only "transmissions" (one party to another) rather than
"broadcasts" (to a wide audience); advertising is not allowed on CB
Channels because it is considered "broadcasting." Citizens Band (CB)
Radio operators are not required to obtain an FCC license to operate
their CB equipment or provide station identification. Nevertheless, an
operator of a CB radio station is still required to comply with the
communications act and with the rules of CB Radio Operation.
