Friends. Excuse my ignorance. But what does the acronym CB? In Brazil we call these radios PX. What is the maximum range, on average, this radio and

my cobra 29 radio range is if I can't see you I'm out of range I do not like this radio its junk. and it's not the ant. tried 3 different ant.

CB is for citizens band. The range depends a lot on the antenna used, but mine was hooked to a company truck's antenna and I could pull in other truckers about five miles away.

CB is short for "Citizens Band" and this this refers to the frequencies a CB radio operates on. As to the second part of your question, the range of your CB depends on several things. The size and location of your antenna, the surrounding terrain, and weather conditions. Another factor is how well you have tuned your CB radio.

Citizens band, and a couple miles unless you hook a linear to it, but I wouldn't know anything about that they're illegal in the U.S.

This is a U.S. FCC regulated Citizens Band radio. The frequencies are channelized, 1 through 40, and that is standard across all modern CB radios in the United States. Power output is 4 watts which is the maximum legal output for CB radio. If you still need to know the specific frequency of each channel, there is a table here: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=7731

This radio is analog but it does narrow and wideband.......however this model is one of baofeng's worst ones and is total garbage in my book.....the new UV-82 is a MUCH MUCH better radio. (I have both)..........if you are really under a budget crunch get the uv5r but RUN away from the UVb5 and UVb6...total CRAP

My radio is wonderful and after seeing the larger picture I believe it is the same model. We live in the mountains, rather remote. Our great Wave Radio just didn't pick up stations like this CCRadio does. We use it every day.

This radio is designed for US amateur bands. I am sure they have a European version, probably with a name like VX-3e. Buy from Amazon in Europe.

Mine is excellent. And, I live in a fairly rural suburb. My previous, larger radio did not have reception as good as this one.

It's not the mode (FM vs. AM) that determines the range, it's the frequency. These radios are in the 450-ish MHz range, while CB's are in the 27MHz range. The 27MHz frequencies are subject to propagation, etc. The range on a 888S is going to be a couple miles at most under ideal conditions. A CB's normal range is considerably greater, and when propagation is high, you can quite literally talk around the world on the CB. As was said in the other answer, FM is going to provide far superior clarity over AM.

Listen. Tweaked! Peaked and tuned idk? You can have any radio tweaked, take your cb to a guy/cb shop(the guy making announcments over the radio...) He will snip out the thing that only allows it to do only 4 watts and add a thingymajob to bump it up to 20, 30, 40 watts. Or...hook up a linear. Or...do both. FYI- Half of your radio is your antenna, put the ugly sticks under your bunk and get a pair of wilsons or k-40s or anything else...

(1) They are not "powered" by radio waves, but they use radio waves as their medium. CB radios are operating at 27MHZ frequencies. Cell phone are typically in the 900MHZ frequencies. (2) Probably - depending on the source of the problem. I'm in the Florida Keys. Many of us use CB radios on our boats precisely because they give us the range to communicate from house to boat at times when we are beyond the range of a cell phone.

It is not a matter of can you "adapt it" to a CB radio. The antenna is designed for VHF marine band frequencies, not CB

There are very few details known about this radio-indeed, no true specifications. They claim AM/FM and SW 1-7 coverage, but no frequency ranges within the seven shortwave bands.

Thanks M. MasonI have had 2 of these radios. The first one was good in reception, on am., but the off on switch went bad.and the tuner also broke. The second one is not very good on am or fm, I wasted my money on it. Thanks

If you were a legally licensed Ham, you wouldn't be asking this question. This radio is not for you. Get a Ham license first or get a CB or FRS radio instead.

sorry, no idea. i have enuf of a problem getting a signal to the strongest am station in calif. i'm ready to dump this thing on ebay.

I use my Puxing radio in a location that is mountainous and heavily wooded. At times I have a range of about 5- 10miles. So, the range is dependent upon the terrain.

Range is determined by several things, not necessarly all by the brand/part number of radio: antenna placement, type of antenna, height of antenna, and signal stength of the radio all determine transmit and receiving ranges. You should contact Midland and ask them for the tech specs on this radio, they will provide them for free. Their customer service dept will also make suggestions on what type of antenna would work for your application and provide you with suggested mounting locations. https://midlandusa.com/cb-radios/support/

Sorry to hijack your question but read all of the negative reviews and take them to heart. This radio is a disappointment, has glitches, and is unreliable. It also eats batteries.
