What do I need for CB radio?

For CB radio, you first need a CB radio, which is available either as a mobile device for vehicles, as a base station for home use, or as a handheld radio. In addition, a suitable antenna is required along with coax cable and connectors that are designed for the corresponding CB frequencies. The choice of antenna depends on your own needs – whether mobile or stationary. An SWR meter to adjust the antenna for optimal transmission quality can also be useful. If you want to operate your device “stationary”, you also need a suitable direct current source. No proof of license is required to operate CB radios in most countries as CB radio is generally license-free. However, you should familiarize yourself with the applicable legal regulations and frequency allocations in your country in order to transmit interference-free and in accordance with the law.
