===General Overview ===

[[CB Savage|Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio"]] for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the [[11_meter|25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz)]] range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the [[Main Page|HF]] band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range [[VHF / UHF Radio]] service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "[[11_meter|11 meters]]".

CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services such as [[FRS]]/[[GMRS]] and [[MURS]]. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|militias]] and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, [[HF pagers|for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems]], and [[Remote_Control|low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control)]] purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed [[Business Radio]] Services.

Many [[ham radio]] operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.

CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "[[Steve_Anderson|preppers]]" and [[United_Patriot_Radio|survivalists]], in addition to amateur radio and [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|VHF/UHF services]] such as [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[VHF marine]], etc.

A large radio subculture relating to [[Splatterbox|illegally modifying]] CB equipment, using so-called "[[CB#CB_Radio_10_Meter_Radio_Export_Radio_Images_Gallery|export radios]]" or "[[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|10 meter]] radios" or modifying [[amateur radio]] equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than [[Piss weak|legal]] power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.

CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to '''all''' radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"

===CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio===

-'''Do truckers still use CB radios?''' Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.

-'''Is it legal to use FM on CB radio?''' Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, [[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels.
See Part 95 Subpart D [[FCC]] rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS [[Emission_Designator|emission]] types.

-'''Some CB radios are advertised as having P-Channels - what are the P-Channels?''' President CB radios with FM and CTCSS/DCS capability are now being shipped with preprogrammed P-Channels or P Channels. These are hard programmed channels (in [[FM]] mode) with a CTCSS tone or DCS code (selective calling) already set up, allowing for interference free communications without having to program CTCSS (PL) or DCS (DPL). 5 P-channels P1 P2 P3 P4 and P5 appear to be in use as of late 2025. List of CB radio P-Channels is below:

*Channel P1 - 26.965 MHz FM 94.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P2 - 26.985 MHz FM D073N [073 DCS]
*Channel P3 - 27.085 MHz FM 131.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P4 - 27.175 MHz FM D654N [654 DCS]
*Channel P5 - 27.235 MHz FM 203.5 Hz CTCSS

In other words - P-Channels List Chart CB Radios CTCSS DCS

*P Channel 1 is CB Radio Channel 1 FM with 94.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 2 is CB Radio Channel 3 FM with 073 DPL
*P Channel 3 is CB Radio Channel 11 FM with 131.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 4 is CB Radio Channel 18 FM with 654 DPL
*P Channel 5 is CB Radio Channel 24 FM with 203.5 Hz PL

-'''Are 23 channel CB radios illegal?''' No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.

-'''Is CB HF?''' sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.

-'''Is CB 11 meters?''' Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|the freeband frequencies]], the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz).

Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common as Chinese radios such as the AnyTone Smart, AnyTone AT5555, AnyTone AT6666 and numerous others including the AnyTone Ares II (Radioditty QT50), Anysecu CB-40M AR-925 and many others. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.

===Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War===

The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. [[SINCGARS|Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB]]. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).

The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying [[VHF / UHF Radio|"VHF"]] was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.

An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.

The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.

German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up
To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).

The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.

Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.

===Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond===

The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter [[amateur radio]] band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.

On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).

The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).

Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.

Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.

Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.

When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.

CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E [[Ionosphere|propagation]]. During band openings, however, [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|skip]] propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|DXing]] at modest power levels can be realized.

===CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"===

CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).

Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.

===Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?===

Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies ''below'' CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around '''26.915 MHz''' (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.

SSB operators usually operate ''above'' CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.430 MHz]], [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.450 MHz]], 27.460 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.490]] MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being '''27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency'''. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency '''26.285 MHz USB'''), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).

In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.

With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the [[11_meter|11 meter]] band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the [[Bust|law (technically)]] but [[FCC|enforcement]] is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.

===Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands===

'''Further information may be found on the pages for [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies|freeband CB 11 meter frequencies]], including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz]].'''

''By its very nature, the 11 meter band, the freeband, 11 meter free band, outbanding, operating out of band, the 11 meter band, 11 meters, whatever you want to call it, is dynamic. '''Therefore, no list, including this one, can ever be complete.''' Many of the frequencies listed below are the result of "gentleman's agreements" and there are plenty of exceptions. One of the things that attracts radio operators to working DX on 11 meters / the CB bands is the more laid back atmosphere of 11 meters compared to [[Amateur_radio|amateur radio]]. ''

'''Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.'''

''While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.''

===Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum===

Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, [[HF marine]] and [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|FM land mobile]]. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.

'''Please see the 25-30 MHz users page [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|NTIA allocations]] for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.'''

===CB Channel Plans===

The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. [[HF_pagers|The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included)]]. These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the [[FCC]] rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the [[Remote_Control|R/C channels]], but it is shared with CB.

[[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] Modulation in the United States. US FCC [[CB_Radio|CB Radio]] Service (CBRS) regulations require all CB radios to have AM mode capability as the standard mode. In other words, all CB radios operate in AM mode by default. This ensures backward compatibility between all 27 MHz CB radios. Identical rules and regulations in Canada, where it is officially called the General Radio Service (specialized trucking companies in some parts of Canada also use the [[VHF_LADD|VHF Resource Road]] frequencies (LADD channels) in addition to standard 27 MHz CB radio equipment).

SSB and/or FM are optional in the United States. If the radio is equipped with SSB capability, it must at least be able to use the upper side band. SSB CB equipment is capable of LSB and USB. FCC rules allow 4 watt AM carrier power, 4 watt FM power and 12 watt PEP SSB power.

Bandwidth limits are 8 kHz for AM mode ('''8K00A3E'''), 8 kHz for FM ('''8K00F3E'''), and 4 kHz for SSB. SSB with carrier ('''4K00H3E'''), SSB with reduced carrier ('''4K00R3E'''), and true SSB without carrier ('''4K00J3E''') are allowed. Use of selective calling systems, including tone-based selective calling such as DTMF, ANI, etc. as well as CTCSS tone squelch (PL) and DCS coded squelch (DPL) are permitted.

In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe. In the Americas, Australia and a few other places, AM mode is the standard mode.

CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.

Narrow band [[FM|FM (Frequency Modulation) only. PM (phase modulation)]] also allowed - narrow band phase modulation, so [[Emission_Designator|F3E and G3E]]. Use of tone squelch and digital tone squelch - CTCSS and DCS are allowed on the UK FM channels and the European 40 (mid band FM, CE band, EU band, etc.). Radios with CTCSS and DCS capability are slowly penetrating the market in the UK and Europe.

''The maximum operating [[11_meter|frequency band]] shall be from 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz for the 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz UK band and 26.960 MHz to 27.410 MHz for the 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] (European standard band).''

''For users operating on the 40+40 CB channels, the "center frequency" for antenna tuning that is generally used is 27.48 MHz or 27.500 MHz.''

MPT 1320 - original CB 27/81 regulations MPT 1333, MPT 1382 (for UK 27/81 UK FM CB). Because of the original MPT1320 specification, the 27/81 channels are sometimes referred to as the "Muppets" or "Muppets Channels".

FM with '''2.5 kHz maximum deviation''' is the ''only mode allowed'' on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz. Emission designators 11K3F3E - 12K5F3E. Most radios limit deviation to 2 kHz so 8-10 kHz bandwidth - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the [[Community Audio Distribution Service]] (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).

The UK allows use AM, FM and SSB on the 40-channel European standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CEPT "mid band" or "EC" allocation UK GB CB PR 27/97 (same as US frequencies) in addition to the frequencies listed below. The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.

See below for the WPAS and CADS frequency listing (26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, 27.600 MHz to 27.995 MHz).

The 27.6 MHz to 28.0 MHz allocation overlaps with CADS/WPAS and other services in various countries outside the UK, [[HF_pagers|including paging/telemetry]], [[Remote_Control#Spain|long range]] [[Remote_Control#Switzerland|wireless control and land mobile services]] used in [[Remote_Control#Czech_Republic|several]] other [[Remote_Control#European_Standardization_EU_or_CEPT|European]] countries, [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|various]] marine / [[HF_marine|maritime mobile]] radio [[CB#Thailand_27_MHz_Marine_Maritime_CB_Radio_Communications|services]] and other voice and data [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed and mobile]] services.

In Ireland, there are three sets of 40 channels available,

the 40 regular CEPT/EC/EU European mid band FM frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz (FM and AM allowed) - '''CB01 to CB40'''

the 40 UK FM 27/81 "muppets" band (with the last two digits cut off, so 27.601 MHz - 27.991 MHz instead of 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz, FM and AM allowed on those 40 channels, '''LW01 to LW40''' channel frequency designators

the Ireland-specific '''UW01 to UW40''' channels, which are 27.605 MHz to 27.995 MHz, straight 10 kHz spacing. In other words, the UK FM CB channels +3.75 kHz offset. AM and FM modes are allowed.

The LW and UW channels overlap with each other and occupy the same frequency spectrum 27.6 MHz to 28 MHz 27600 kHz to 28000 kHz. The CB01 to CB40 channels overlap with the CB radio service 26965 kHz to 27405 kHz (full band 26960 kHz to 27410 kHz). The 27410 kHz to 27595 kHz spectrum is not included in the allocation, but frequencies in that section are still sometimes used, as are the Polish / Russian -5 kHz "zeros" eg. 27.000 MHz instead of 27.005 MHz, 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz, and so on.

===German, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian "Auxiliary" channels 41-80===
80 Channel CB radio. '''DE''' mode on multi-norm CB radios.

[[FM]] modulation only in '''Germany''', '''Czech Republic''', '''Slovakia''' and '''Hungary''' on channels 41-80. AM, FM and SSB are allowed channels 1-40, while radios are supposed to switch to FM mode only (4 watt power limit) for the 26.565-26.955 MHz portion.

2 kHz FM deviation limit, 8 kHz bandwidth limit in AM and FM mode.
[[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Digital_Modes_ROS_PSK31_CW_SSTV_Channels|Digital modes allowed on specified channels]] (26.675 MHz, 26.685 MHz, 26.915 MHz and 26.925 MHz) in Germany - channels 52, 53, 76 and 77.
Designated channels 41-80 (channels 1-40 are the [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|US/CEPT standardized channels]]). Full 80 channel allocation 26.565 MHz to 27.405 MHz or 26.560 MHz to 27.410 MHz. Shared with [[HF_pagers|paging services]], fixed [[Remote_Control#Russia|links]], remote control (RC), on-campus voice and/or [[POCSAG|data]] pagers and the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]], especially in border areas.

Czech regulations specify that data transmission between CB stations is permitted on channels 24, 25, 52, 53, 76 and 77. F1D, F2D, G1D, G2D, J1D, J2D, A1D and A2D [[Emission_Designator|emissions (modes)]] are permitted. [[Remote_Control|Remote control]] transmitters are allowed on channels 18 and 23.

Czech regulations specify that remote base stations (gateways or hotspots networks) linked repeaters via multiple locations stations on frequencies 26.755 MHz FM, 26.815 MHz FM, 26.835 MHz FM, 26.845 MHz FM, 26.855 MHz FM, 26.865 MHz FM, 26.875 MHz FM, 26.885 MHz FM and 26.935 MHz, FM frequencies assigned to channels 60, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 78. Use of CTCSS or DCS is '''strongly''' encouraged to allow sharing of frequencies by users who do not wish to access the linked hotspot (Internet link) networks.

Simplex repeaters are legally only permitted on channel 18 and channel 23 per Czech regulations (27.175 MHz and 27.255 MHz).

The Czech Republic places restrictions on which frequencies may be used for linked remote base station hotspot connections (linked repeater networks). Germany does not restrict this to specific channels, and Slovakia also allows the same 80 channel band plan. However, there are restrictions on base stations, linked remote base stations and CB repeaters being located less than 15km from the borders of Poland and Austria.

===Italian I2 Band Italy CB I2 34 Channel CB 26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz===

'''Not to be confused with the Italian [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz VHF]] low band "[[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] CB" band. '''

Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.

'''Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan.''' Channels 24 and 25 are out of sequence. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band.

Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz.

'''While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common.''' Channels 26-34 overlap with [[CB#German.2C_Czech_and_Hungarian_.22Auxiliary.22_channels_41-80|German]] 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "[[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|low channels]]".

===Australian 27 MHz Marine CB===

'''Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service''' or "27 MEG", more commonly known as 27 MHz marine band. Some radios include provisions for additional "private" channels in the 27 MHz range, in between 27.68 MHz and 27.98 MHz, eg. 27.75 MHz, [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|27.78 MHz]], etc.

'''Australian regulators plan on phasing the 27MHz marine radios out as far as emergency equipment goes. Those same regulators still list 27-MHz ch88 or 27.88MHz as one of the recognized and monitored emergency / calling / distress frequencies. '''

[[AM]] mode. 8K00A3E emission. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.

Some stations use these frequencies - usually 27880 kHz / 27.88 MHz and then either 27910 kHz / 27.91 MHz or 27940 kHz / 27.94 MHz for '''Marine Safety Information (MSI)''' broadcasts. For more information see [[Maritime_Weather_Transmissions#List_of_voice_.28SSB.29_Maritime_Weather_Transmissions|the page on maritime weather transmissions]].

27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular.

New Zealand has a total of 80 26MHz / 27MHz AM/[[SSB]] CB radio channels available. The NZ specific 26MHz band 26.33MHz - 26.770 MHz plus the standard 40 Australian [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|27MHz CB channels]] (identical to the European mid band CE / CEPT / EU channels and the American FCC legal
40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz). AM, USB and LSB are allowed on all 40 of the 27MHz channels. AM/SSB is permitted on 26MHz channel 1 to channel 17 and channel 25 to channel 40. Channels 18 to 24 are [[AM]] mode only.

[[AM]] and [[SSB]] modulation. The '''CBH''' channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or [[UHF CB]] allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

26 MHz AM Public Channels:

*Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.33 MHz to 26.53 MHz and 26.61 MHz to 26.77 MHz)
*Channels 18 to 24 are for '''AM only''' (26.54 MHz to 26.6 MHz)
*Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.45 MHz AM)
*Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.5 MHz AM)
*Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.72 MHz LSB mode)

''Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.''

''NZ 26 MHz CB skips the 5 "A" channels, in this case they are 26.36 MHz, 26.41 MHz, 26.46 MHz, 26.51 MHz and 26.56 MHz.''

New Zealand is close enough to Asia that interference from fishing fleet radio chatter, fishnet buoys, radio buoys, etc. can be a significant problem. 26330 kHz - 26770 kHz, 26965 kHz - 27405 kHz.

New Zealand previously had a 14 channel allocation in the same 26MHz band 26.425 MHz to 26.75 MHz, using 25 kHz spacing. Several of the original channels overlap with the current allocation.

*Old Channel 1 - 26.425 MHz
*Old Channel 2 - 26.450 MHz - now channel 11
*Old Channel 3 - 26.475 MHz
*Old Channel 4 - 26.500 MHz - now channel 15
*Old Channel 5 - 26.525 MHz
*Old Channel 6 - 26.550 MHz - now channel 19
*Old Channel 7 - 26.575 MHz
*Old Channel 8 - 26.600 MHz - now channel 24
*Old Channel 9 - 26.625 MHz
*Old Channel 10 - 26.650 MHz - now channel 28
*Old Channel 11 - 26.675 MHz
*Old Channel 12 - 26.700 MHz - now channel 33
*Old Channel 13 - 26.725 MHz
*Old Channel 14 - 26.750 MHz - now channel 38

===Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB===

26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.

These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

CB Repeaters, [[CB#CB_Repeater_Listing|simplex repeaters]], cross-band links to other VHF/UHF [[River_Portable_Radio_300_MHz_-_344_MHz|services]] (usually the “UHF 433” or “LPD 433” [[LPD433|433 MHz / 434 MHz band]] 433-435 MHz and Internet gateways are very common. Си-Би is the term, often 27MHz or 27 МГц is used to refer to the entire band. CB repeaters are often associated with automobile clubs, or “ARC” (“auto-radio club”) organizations.

Note that the “A Band” - or 26.060 MHz - 26.500 MHz on the R channel plan / zeros channels and 26.065 MHz - 26.505 MHz on the standard / European / E channel plan - is sometimes considered part of the Russian CB radio band plan.

Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. ''In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz'' Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modulation. [[SSB]] used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).

'''Common band designations:'''

*B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''C band in the West, low channels'')
*C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band'')
*D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''E band in the West, high channels'')
+
channel number
+
mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")

For example,

*26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
*27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)

''Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.''

Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"

Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.

As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.

Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. [[HF_pagers|paging systems]] (using [[POCSAG]], etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the [[FCC]] Part 95 [[Remote_Control|RCRS]] services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.

Russian CB radio channel usage:

*27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
*27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF) -
*27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
*27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
*27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
*27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
*27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
*27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
*27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)
*27.315 MHz FM - FM calling channel European grid - C31EF (D31EF)
*27.635 MHz FM - Information and traffic channel (some areas only) D19EF (E19EF) - previously used for traffic information broadcasts in St. Petersburg only (service discontinued in 2014)

Recommended Calling Channels - Main Channels:

*27.065 MHz FM - C9EF - Emergency channel
*27.135 MHz AM - C15EA - Truck drivers, highway channel, considered the Russian version of CB Channel 19
*27.185 MHz AM - C19EA - Information channel, secondary to 27.135 MHz - note: AM and FM are both used
*27.185 MHz FM - C19EF - Information channel
*27.190 MHz USB - "Hidden" channel, used for SSB DXing (among others, see also; 27.140 MHz, etc.)
*27.200 MHz FM - C20RF / 20R / 20P - FM calling channel for Russian speaking stations (echo repeaters on this frequency as well)
*27.270 MHz AM - C27RA / 20R / 20P - AM calling channel, QRP (low power) channel

===Belarus CB Radio===

26.960 MHz to 27.860 MHz or 26.965 MHz to 27.855 MHz / 27.865 MHz (some sources say 27.865 MHz). Channel plan appears to mirror that of Russia. 5 watt power limit in AM mode / FM mode. SSB allowed (or at least de facto allowed). Identical plan for 80 channel CB + 80 channel CB (zeros and fives).

Parrot repeaters or echo repeaters (simplex CB radio repeaters) are active in Belarus just like they are active in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe and worldwide. Use of the 25 MHz and lower 26 MHz channels is commonplace as with other CIS / former Soviet countries, 25.610 MHz / 25.615 MHz up to 28 MHz.

===Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands===

CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.

*'''CE''' - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
*'''EU''' - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
*'''F''' - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM
*'''UK''' - UK "27/81" CB Band - 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - UK FM CB 27/81 allocation - UK has 80 available channels - UK + EU
*'''UE''' - UK Full 80 Channels - EU 40 channels + UK FM 40 channels (80 channels), some radios require the user to switch between the two bands
*'''dE''' or '''DE''' - Germany - 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 80 channels, channels 1-40 are AM/FM 4W/4W, same as CE band, channels 41-80 are FM only (4W) 26.565-26.955
*'''I''' - Italy - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 4W AM carrier + 4W FM - same European standard AM/FM band
*'''I2''' - Italy 2 - 26.875 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 34 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W or 40 regular EU channels
*'''PL''' - Poland - 26.960 MHz - 27.400 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W (regular 40 channels -5 kHz)
*'''IN''' - India - 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz - 27 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W

===Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels===

'''Standard 6 band export radio plan.''' All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.

6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.

The related Superstar 120, Superstar 121, President Grant DX, Superstar GR, etc. style radios (120 channel radios, radios with a LOW/MID/HIGH band selector, this includes radios like the Galaxy DX 86V with the C-D-E band switch), plus CB rigs with 120 channel modifications, frequency expansion mods or "channel kits" (including the popular Cobra 29 family of radios, Galaxy DX 919, Galaxy DX 929, Galaxy DX 939, Galaxy DX 949, Galaxy DX 959 / DX 959B, Galaxy DX 979, Texas Ranger rigs, etc.) use the same form factor with either LOW-MID-HIGH band switch or C-D-E covering 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz. Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.

Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.

''Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz.'' '''Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged''', but does occur.

For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).

Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|spectrum]] is allocated to military and government users and the military [[SINCGARS|actually does use]] the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.

99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

===Japan CB Radio Frequencies===
[[AM]] modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.

0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|China]], and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

===Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio===

1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN

26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).

See also: VHF low band [[Japanese 40MHz DSB Fishery Radio|40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service]]

The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.

Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter [[Amateur_radio|ham (amateur radio) band]] have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same [[11_meter|25-30 MHz region]].

===Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio===

In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard [[VHF marine]] band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

===China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio ===

People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.

Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.

Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).

Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).

'''Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.''' Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to ''not'' be Chinese. '''These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets. '''

The FT-801 Dedicated Fisheries Radio - Shishi Feitong Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. includes the following capabilities:

*'''SPECIFICATIONS'''
*27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM transmit and receive frequency range
*25 kHz channel spacing (12.5 kHz channel spacing in "export mode" or "extra channels" mode)
*480 channels
*FM modulation - 16K0F3E / 16K0G3E emission

*Full channel or memory channel scan function.
*Fishery dedicated communication channel.
*Dual channel multi-watch receive function.

*Built-in GPS module function.
*Display navigation data functions

''This system does appear to go through the [[Amateur_radio|10 meter amateur band]] - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.''

===Asia China Chinese Taiwan R.O.C. South China Sea 26 MHz / 27 MHz Fisheries AM Fishery Fishing Radio 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz ===

The FT-801 radio discussed above (as part of the 27.5 MHz - 39.5 MHz Chinese fisheries radio network) is also available as the FT-801B, which instead of covering 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz with FM voice and data modes, covers 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz with AM voice. Other sources indicate 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz. Note the differences in specifications compared to the FT-801 version. No channel / frequency steps listed, unable to locate an actual channel plan, only the 26.475 - 27.27 MHz frequency coverage. 20 channels is listed, and it appears that the radio provides a channel display instead of frequency display. See the 26.105MHz to 27.985MHz allocation available offshore fishery radio in Thailand below.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.

The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.

Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).

===Thailand 27 MHz Marine Maritime CB Radio Communications ===

Note that some radios have two bands for Thailand - Thai 27 MHz CB. One of bands covers the 26.105MHz - 27.985MHz 168 channel band discussed below, the other follows the 26.065MHz - 28.755MHz 240 channel modified [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|export radio]] band plan. The 26065 kHz - 28755 kHz band plan moves the A-B-C-D-E-F band plan up one band, so the legal 26.965MHz - 27.405MHz band is "Band C" instead of "Band D". It also means that more frequencies within the 10 meter amateur radio band are available for unlicensed CB use.

===South Africa (27 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] and [[SSB]] (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.

''Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed mobile]] and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.''

===South Africa (29 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] on all channels. [[SSB]] only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz non-standard '''12.5 kHz''' channel spacing.

Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).

29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).

This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both [[Remote_Control#Australia|Australia]] and [[Remote_Control#New_Zealand|New Zealand]].

Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

===India 27 channel 27MHz CB===
[[AM]] and [[FM]] modes allowed. Shared with the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]]. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if [[SSB]] is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz - often expressed as 26.96 MHz - 27.28 MHz.

Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] and [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|UHF]] services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band [[350_MHz_Short_Range_Radio|SRR Short Range Radio]]. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select. 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz and 27.195 MHz RC/data/short range low power frequencies are skipped, as per the standard 40 channel CB radio band plan.

'''''IND08''' - Use of wireless equipments intended to be used while in motion or during halts, in the frequency band 26.957 MHz - 27.283 MHz (same as the 27 MHz [[ISM]] band), with a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 5 Watts has been exempted from licensing requirements.''

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters===

25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.

All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters Automatic Relay Recommended Channels Frequencies===

'''Use of CTCSS tone squelch is mandatory'''. FM mode. Recommended channels frequencies for automatic relay / parrot repeaters. Radios such as the President Washington with built in automatic relay and CTCSS / DCS as well as split operation have this capability.

*77.0 Hz
*88.5 Hz
*94.8 Hz
*100.0 Hz
*107.2 Hz

===CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services===

Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or [[VHF / UHF Radio]] services such as [[PMR446]], [[LPD433]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]] services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.

Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz Italian "VHF CB"]] equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.

===CB Repeater Listing - Simplex Repeaters===

''Below is a list of confirmed '''as of October 2026''' CB repeaters and their location (if known).''

Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.

There are a ''lot'' of these in Russia. The Russians call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [https://cb-radio.ru/ARK.pdf] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [https://cb-radio.ru/]

===General Overview ===

[[CB Savage|Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio"]] for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the [[11_meter|25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz)]] range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the [[Main Page|HF]] band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range [[VHF / UHF Radio]] service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "[[11_meter|11 meters]]".

CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services such as [[FRS]]/[[GMRS]] and [[MURS]]. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|militias]] and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, [[HF pagers|for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems]], and [[Remote_Control|low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control)]] purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed [[Business Radio]] Services.

Many [[ham radio]] operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.

CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "[[Steve_Anderson|preppers]]" and [[United_Patriot_Radio|survivalists]], in addition to amateur radio and [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|VHF/UHF services]] such as [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[VHF marine]], etc.

A large radio subculture relating to [[Splatterbox|illegally modifying]] CB equipment, using so-called "[[CB#CB_Radio_10_Meter_Radio_Export_Radio_Images_Gallery|export radios]]" or "[[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|10 meter]] radios" or modifying [[amateur radio]] equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than [[Piss weak|legal]] power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.

CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to '''all''' radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"

===CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio===

-'''Do truckers still use CB radios?''' Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.

-'''Is it legal to use FM on CB radio?''' Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, [[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels.
See Part 95 Subpart D [[FCC]] rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS [[Emission_Designator|emission]] types.

-'''Some CB radios are advertised as having P-Channels - what are the P-Channels?''' President CB radios with FM and CTCSS/DCS capability are now being shipped with preprogrammed P-Channels or P Channels. These are hard programmed channels (in [[FM]] mode) with a CTCSS tone or DCS code (selective calling) already set up, allowing for interference free communications without having to program CTCSS (PL) or DCS (DPL). 5 P-channels P1 P2 P3 P4 and P5 appear to be in use as of late 2025. List of CB radio P-Channels is below:

*Channel P1 - 26.965 MHz FM 94.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P2 - 26.985 MHz FM D073N [073 DCS]
*Channel P3 - 27.085 MHz FM 131.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P4 - 27.175 MHz FM D654N [654 DCS]
*Channel P5 - 27.235 MHz FM 203.5 Hz CTCSS

In other words - P-Channels List Chart CB Radios CTCSS DCS

*P Channel 1 is CB Radio Channel 1 FM with 94.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 2 is CB Radio Channel 3 FM with 073 DPL
*P Channel 3 is CB Radio Channel 11 FM with 131.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 4 is CB Radio Channel 18 FM with 654 DPL
*P Channel 5 is CB Radio Channel 24 FM with 203.5 Hz PL

-'''Are 23 channel CB radios illegal?''' No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.

-'''Is CB HF?''' sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.

-'''Is CB 11 meters?''' Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|the freeband frequencies]], the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz).

Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common as Chinese radios such as the AnyTone Smart, AnyTone AT5555, AnyTone AT6666 and numerous others including the AnyTone Ares II (Radioditty QT50), Anysecu CB-40M AR-925 and many others. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.

-'''What are the freeband CB radio frequencies?''' - See [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|the freeband 10 meter CB radio channel frequency chart below]], see also: the [[11_meter|11 meter]] frequencies [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|page]].

===Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War===

The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. [[SINCGARS|Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB]]. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).

The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying [[VHF / UHF Radio|"VHF"]] was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.

An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.

The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.

German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up
To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).

The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.

Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.

===Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond===

The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter [[amateur radio]] band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.

On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).

The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).

Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.

Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.

Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.

When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.

CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E [[Ionosphere|propagation]]. During band openings, however, [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|skip]] propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|DXing]] at modest power levels can be realized.

===CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"===

CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).

Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.

===Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?===

Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies ''below'' CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around '''26.915 MHz''' (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.

SSB operators usually operate ''above'' CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.430 MHz]], [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.450 MHz]], 27.460 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.490]] MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being '''27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency'''. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency '''26.285 MHz USB'''), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).

In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.

With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the [[11_meter|11 meter]] band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the [[Bust|law (technically)]] but [[FCC|enforcement]] is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.

===Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands===

'''Further information may be found on the pages for [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies|freeband CB 11 meter frequencies]], including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz]].'''

''By its very nature, the 11 meter band, the freeband, 11 meter free band, outbanding, operating out of band, the 11 meter band, 11 meters, whatever you want to call it, is dynamic. '''Therefore, no list, including this one, can ever be complete.''' Many of the frequencies listed below are the result of "gentleman's agreements" and there are plenty of exceptions. One of the things that attracts radio operators to working DX on 11 meters / the CB bands is the more laid back atmosphere of 11 meters compared to [[Amateur_radio|amateur radio]]. ''

'''Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.'''

''While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.''

===Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum===

Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, [[HF marine]] and [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|FM land mobile]]. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.

'''Please see the 25-30 MHz users page [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|NTIA allocations]] for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.'''

===CB Channel Plans===

The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. [[HF_pagers|The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included)]]. These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the [[FCC]] rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the [[Remote_Control|R/C channels]], but it is shared with CB.

[[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] Modulation in the United States. US FCC [[CB_Radio|CB Radio]] Service (CBRS) regulations require all CB radios to have AM mode capability as the standard mode. In other words, all CB radios operate in AM mode by default. This ensures backward compatibility between all 27 MHz CB radios. Identical rules and regulations in Canada, where it is officially called the General Radio Service (specialized trucking companies in some parts of Canada also use the [[VHF_LADD|VHF Resource Road]] frequencies (LADD channels) in addition to standard 27 MHz CB radio equipment).

SSB and/or FM are optional in the United States. If the radio is equipped with SSB capability, it must at least be able to use the upper side band. SSB CB equipment is capable of LSB and USB. FCC rules allow 4 watt AM carrier power, 4 watt FM power and 12 watt PEP SSB power.

Bandwidth limits are 8 kHz for AM mode ('''8K00A3E'''), 8 kHz for FM ('''8K00F3E'''), and 4 kHz for SSB. SSB with carrier ('''4K00H3E'''), SSB with reduced carrier ('''4K00R3E'''), and true SSB without carrier ('''4K00J3E''') are allowed. Use of selective calling systems, including tone-based selective calling such as DTMF, ANI, etc. as well as CTCSS tone squelch (PL) and DCS coded squelch (DPL) are permitted.

In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe. In the Americas, Australia and a few other places, AM mode is the standard mode.

CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.

''For users operating on the 40+40 CB channels, the "center frequency" for antenna tuning that is generally used is 27.48 MHz or 27.500 MHz.''

MPT 1320 - original CB 27/81 regulations MPT 1333, MPT 1382 (for UK 27/81 UK FM CB). Because of the original MPT1320 specification, the 27/81 channels are sometimes referred to as the "Muppets" or "Muppets Channels".

FM with '''2.5 kHz maximum deviation''' is the ''only mode allowed'' on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz. Emission designators 11K3F3E - 12K5F3E. Most radios limit deviation to 2 kHz so 8-10 kHz bandwidth - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the [[Community Audio Distribution Service]] (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).

The UK allows use AM, FM and SSB on the 40-channel European standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CEPT "mid band" or "EC" allocation UK GB CB PR 27/97 (same as US frequencies) in addition to the frequencies listed below. The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.

the 40 regular CEPT/EC/EU European mid band FM frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz (FM and AM allowed) - '''CB01 to CB40'''

the 40 UK FM 27/81 "muppets" band (with the last two digits cut off, so 27.601 MHz - 27.991 MHz instead of 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz, FM and AM allowed on those 40 channels, '''LW01 to LW40''' channel frequency designators

the Ireland-specific '''UW01 to UW40''' channels, which are 27.605 MHz to 27.995 MHz, straight 10 kHz spacing. In other words, the UK FM CB channels +3.75 kHz offset. AM and FM modes are allowed.

The LW and UW channels overlap with each other and occupy the same frequency spectrum 27.6 MHz to 28 MHz 27600 kHz to 28000 kHz. The CB01 to CB40 channels overlap with the CB radio service 26965 kHz to 27405 kHz (full band 26960 kHz to 27410 kHz). The 27410 kHz to 27595 kHz spectrum is not included in the allocation, but frequencies in that section are still sometimes used, as are the Polish / Russian -5 kHz "zeros" eg. 27.000 MHz instead of 27.005 MHz, 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz, and so on.

===German, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian "Auxiliary" channels 41-80===
80 Channel CB radio. '''DE''' mode on multi-norm CB radios.

[[FM]] modulation only in '''Germany''', '''Czech Republic''', '''Slovakia''' and '''Hungary''' on channels 41-80. AM, FM and SSB are allowed channels 1-40, while radios are supposed to switch to FM mode only (4 watt power limit) for the 26.565-26.955 MHz portion.

2 kHz FM deviation limit, 8 kHz bandwidth limit in AM and FM mode.
[[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Digital_Modes_ROS_PSK31_CW_SSTV_Channels|Digital modes allowed on specified channels]] (26.675 MHz, 26.685 MHz, 26.915 MHz and 26.925 MHz) in Germany - channels 52, 53, 76 and 77.
Designated channels 41-80 (channels 1-40 are the [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|US/CEPT standardized channels]]). Full 80 channel allocation 26.565 MHz to 27.405 MHz or 26.560 MHz to 27.410 MHz. Shared with [[HF_pagers|paging services]], fixed [[Remote_Control#Russia|links]], remote control (RC), on-campus voice and/or [[POCSAG|data]] pagers and the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]], especially in border areas.

Czech regulations specify that data transmission between CB stations is permitted on channels 24, 25, 52, 53, 76 and 77. F1D, F2D, G1D, G2D, J1D, J2D, A1D and A2D [[Emission_Designator|emissions (modes)]] are permitted. [[Remote_Control|Remote control]] transmitters are allowed on channels 18 and 23.

Czech regulations specify that remote base stations (gateways or hotspots networks) linked repeaters via multiple locations stations on frequencies 26.755 MHz FM, 26.815 MHz FM, 26.835 MHz FM, 26.845 MHz FM, 26.855 MHz FM, 26.865 MHz FM, 26.875 MHz FM, 26.885 MHz FM and 26.935 MHz, FM frequencies assigned to channels 60, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 78. Use of CTCSS or DCS is '''strongly''' encouraged to allow sharing of frequencies by users who do not wish to access the linked hotspot (Internet link) networks.

Simplex repeaters are legally only permitted on channel 18 and channel 23 per Czech regulations (27.175 MHz and 27.255 MHz).

The Czech Republic places restrictions on which frequencies may be used for linked remote base station hotspot connections (linked repeater networks). Germany does not restrict this to specific channels, and Slovakia also allows the same 80 channel band plan. However, there are restrictions on base stations, linked remote base stations and CB repeaters being located less than 15km from the borders of Poland and Austria.

===Italian I2 Band Italy CB I2 34 Channel CB 26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz===

'''Not to be confused with the Italian [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz VHF]] low band "[[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] CB" band. '''

Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.

'''Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan.''' Channels 24 and 25 are out of sequence. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band.

Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz.

'''While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common.''' Channels 26-34 overlap with [[CB#German.2C_Czech_and_Hungarian_.22Auxiliary.22_channels_41-80|German]] 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "[[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|low channels]]".

===Australian 27 MHz Marine CB===

'''Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service''' or "27 MEG", more commonly known as 27 MHz marine band. Some radios include provisions for additional "private" channels in the 27 MHz range, in between 27.68 MHz and 27.98 MHz, eg. 27.75 MHz, [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|27.78 MHz]], etc.

'''Australian regulators plan on phasing the 27MHz marine radios out as far as emergency equipment goes. Those same regulators still list 27-MHz ch88 or 27.88MHz as one of the recognized and monitored emergency / calling / distress frequencies. '''

[[AM]] mode. 8K00A3E emission. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.

Some stations use these frequencies - usually 27880 kHz / 27.88 MHz and then either 27910 kHz / 27.91 MHz or 27940 kHz / 27.94 MHz for '''Marine Safety Information (MSI)''' broadcasts. For more information see [[Maritime_Weather_Transmissions#List_of_voice_.28SSB.29_Maritime_Weather_Transmissions|the page on maritime weather transmissions]].

27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular.

New Zealand has a total of 80 26MHz / 27MHz AM/[[SSB]] CB radio channels available. The NZ specific 26MHz band 26.33MHz - 26.770 MHz plus the standard 40 Australian [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|27MHz CB channels]] (identical to the European mid band CE / CEPT / EU channels and the American FCC legal
40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz). AM, USB and LSB are allowed on all 40 of the 27MHz channels. AM/SSB is permitted on 26MHz channel 1 to channel 17 and channel 25 to channel 40. Channels 18 to 24 are [[AM]] mode only.

[[AM]] and [[SSB]] modulation. The '''CBH''' channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or [[UHF CB]] allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

26 MHz AM Public Channels:

*Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.33 MHz to 26.53 MHz and 26.61 MHz to 26.77 MHz)
*Channels 18 to 24 are for '''AM only''' (26.54 MHz to 26.6 MHz)
*Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.45 MHz AM)
*Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.5 MHz AM)
*Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.72 MHz LSB mode)

''Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.''

''NZ 26 MHz CB skips the 5 "A" channels, in this case they are 26.36 MHz, 26.41 MHz, 26.46 MHz, 26.51 MHz and 26.56 MHz.''

New Zealand is close enough to Asia that interference from fishing fleet radio chatter, fishnet buoys, radio buoys, etc. can be a significant problem. 26330 kHz - 26770 kHz, 26965 kHz - 27405 kHz.

New Zealand previously had a 14 channel allocation in the same 26MHz band 26.425 MHz to 26.75 MHz, using 25 kHz spacing. Several of the original channels overlap with the current allocation.

*Old Channel 1 - 26.425 MHz
*Old Channel 2 - 26.450 MHz - now channel 11
*Old Channel 3 - 26.475 MHz
*Old Channel 4 - 26.500 MHz - now channel 15

===Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB===

26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.

These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

===Russian CB Channel Frequencies===

Use of the full 25.615 MHz - [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|30.105 MHz]] export radio coverage (24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz) is widespread in Russia, including channels that fall within the 28MHz [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] / 10 meter [[amateur radio]] [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] 28.000 MHz - 29.700 MHz.

CB Repeaters, [[CB#CB_Repeater_Listing|simplex repeaters]], cross-band links to other VHF/UHF [[River_Portable_Radio_300_MHz_-_344_MHz|services]] (usually the “UHF 433” or “LPD 433” [[LPD433|433 MHz / 434 MHz band]] 433-435 MHz and Internet gateways are very common. Си-Би is the term, often 27MHz or 27 МГц is used to refer to the entire band. CB repeaters are often associated with automobile clubs, or “ARC” (“auto-radio club”) organizations.

Note that the “A Band” - or 26.060 MHz - 26.500 MHz on the R channel plan / zeros channels and 26.065 MHz - 26.505 MHz on the standard / European / E channel plan - is sometimes considered part of the Russian CB radio band plan.

Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. ''In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz'' Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modulation. [[SSB]] used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).

'''Common band designations:'''

*B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''C band in the West, low channels'')
*C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band'')
*D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''E band in the West, high channels'')
+
channel number
+
mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")

For example,

*26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
*27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)

''Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.''

Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"

Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.

As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.

Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. [[HF_pagers|paging systems]] (using [[POCSAG]], etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the [[FCC]] Part 95 [[Remote_Control|RCRS]] services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.

Russian CB radio channel usage:

*27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
*27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF) -
*27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
*27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
*27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
*27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
*27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
*27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
*27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)
*27.315 MHz FM - FM calling channel European grid - C31EF (D31EF)
*27.635 MHz FM - Information and traffic channel (some areas only) D19EF (E19EF) - previously used for traffic information broadcasts in St. Petersburg only (service discontinued in 2014)

Recommended Calling Channels - Main Channels:

*27.065 MHz FM - C9EF - Emergency channel
*27.135 MHz AM - C15EA - Truck drivers, highway channel, considered the Russian version of CB Channel 19
*27.185 MHz AM - C19EA - Information channel, secondary to 27.135 MHz - note: AM and FM are both used
*27.185 MHz FM - C19EF - Information channel
*27.190 MHz USB - "Hidden" channel, used for SSB DXing (among others, see also; 27.140 MHz, etc.)
*27.200 MHz FM - C20RF / 20R / 20P - FM calling channel for Russian speaking stations (echo repeaters on this frequency as well)
*27.270 MHz AM - C27RA / 20R / 20P - AM calling channel, QRP (low power) channel

===Belarus CB Radio===

26.960 MHz to 27.860 MHz or 26.965 MHz to 27.855 MHz / 27.865 MHz (some sources say 27.865 MHz). Channel plan appears to mirror that of Russia. 5 watt power limit in AM mode / FM mode. SSB allowed (or at least de facto allowed). Identical plan for 80 channel CB + 80 channel CB (zeros and fives).

Parrot repeaters or echo repeaters (simplex CB radio repeaters) are active in Belarus just like they are active in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe and worldwide. Use of the 25 MHz and lower 26 MHz channels is commonplace as with other CIS / former Soviet countries, 25.610 MHz / 25.615 MHz up to 28 MHz.

===Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands===

CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.

*'''CE''' - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
*'''EU''' - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
*'''F''' - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM
*'''UK''' - UK "27/81" CB Band - 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - UK FM CB 27/81 allocation - UK has 80 available channels - UK + EU
*'''UE''' - UK Full 80 Channels - EU 40 channels + UK FM 40 channels (80 channels), some radios require the user to switch between the two bands
*'''dE''' or '''DE''' - Germany - 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 80 channels, channels 1-40 are AM/FM 4W/4W, same as CE band, channels 41-80 are FM only (4W) 26.565-26.955
*'''I''' - Italy - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 4W AM carrier + 4W FM - same European standard AM/FM band
*'''I2''' - Italy 2 - 26.875 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 34 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W or 40 regular EU channels
*'''PL''' - Poland - 26.960 MHz - 27.400 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W (regular 40 channels -5 kHz)
*'''IN''' - India - 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz - 27 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W

===Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels===

'''Standard 6 band export radio plan.''' All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.

6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.

The related Superstar 120, Superstar 121, President Grant DX, Superstar GR, etc. style radios (120 channel radios, radios with a LOW/MID/HIGH band selector, this includes radios like the Galaxy DX 86V with the C-D-E band switch), plus CB rigs with 120 channel modifications, frequency expansion mods or "channel kits" (including the popular Cobra 29 family of radios, Galaxy DX 919, Galaxy DX 929, Galaxy DX 939, Galaxy DX 949, Galaxy DX 959 / DX 959B, Galaxy DX 979, Texas Ranger rigs, etc.) use the same form factor with either LOW-MID-HIGH band switch or C-D-E covering 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz. Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.

Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.

''Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz.'' '''Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged''', but does occur.

For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).

Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|spectrum]] is allocated to military and government users and the military [[SINCGARS|actually does use]] the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.

99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

===Japan CB Radio Frequencies===
[[AM]] modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.

0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|China]], and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

===Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio===

1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN

26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).

See also: VHF low band [[Japanese 40MHz DSB Fishery Radio|40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service]]

The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.

Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter [[Amateur_radio|ham (amateur radio) band]] have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same [[11_meter|25-30 MHz region]].

===Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio===

In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard [[VHF marine]] band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

===China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio ===

People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.

Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.

Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).

Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).

'''Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.''' Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to ''not'' be Chinese. '''These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets. '''

The FT-801 Dedicated Fisheries Radio - Shishi Feitong Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. includes the following capabilities:

*'''SPECIFICATIONS'''
*27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM transmit and receive frequency range
*25 kHz channel spacing (12.5 kHz channel spacing in "export mode" or "extra channels" mode)
*480 channels
*FM modulation - 16K0F3E / 16K0G3E emission
*25 watt transmit power (greater than or equal to 25w across entire frequency range)
*FM deviation less than 5 kHz - 4 kHz deviation
*500 kHz - 9999 kHz AM receiver (AM broadcast and shortwave broadcast receive)
*Data link signal format 300 baud ASK or 1200 baud MSK
*'''FEATURES'''
*National Security and Emergency Communications Network Offshore Fishery
*With distress call, select call, group call, all call, sea and other communications functions call, etc.
*National unity networking: able to access the nation's coastal fisheries establishment of several shore station for receiving emergency aid management and undo edits sea conditions forecast.
*Ship's position information be sent automatically and display functions.
*Full-band multi-channel: 27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz, total 480 channels to work.
*Receive AM (500 kHz - 10 MHz) broadcasting station information.
*Receive urgent sea condition and weather forecast news.
*Full channel or memory channel scan function.
*Fishery dedicated communication channel.
*Dual channel multi-watch receive function.
*World time clock and timer display function.
*Built-in GPS module function.
*Display navigation data functions

''This system does appear to go through the [[Amateur_radio|10 meter amateur band]] - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.''

===Asia China Chinese Taiwan R.O.C. South China Sea 26 MHz / 27 MHz Fisheries AM Fishery Fishing Radio 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz ===

The FT-801 radio discussed above (as part of the 27.5 MHz - 39.5 MHz Chinese fisheries radio network) is also available as the FT-801B, which instead of covering 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz with FM voice and data modes, covers 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz with AM voice. Other sources indicate 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz. Note the differences in specifications compared to the FT-801 version. No channel / frequency steps listed, unable to locate an actual channel plan, only the 26.475 - 27.27 MHz frequency coverage. 20 channels is listed, and it appears that the radio provides a channel display instead of frequency display. See the 26.105MHz to 27.985MHz allocation available offshore fishery radio in Thailand below.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.

The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.

Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).

===Thailand 27 MHz Marine Maritime CB Radio Communications ===

Note that some radios have two bands for Thailand - Thai 27 MHz CB. One of bands covers the 26.105MHz - 27.985MHz 168 channel band discussed below, the other follows the 26.065MHz - 28.755MHz 240 channel modified [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|export radio]] band plan. The 26065 kHz - 28755 kHz band plan moves the A-B-C-D-E-F band plan up one band, so the legal 26.965MHz - 27.405MHz band is "Band C" instead of "Band D". It also means that more frequencies within the 10 meter amateur radio band are available for unlicensed CB use.

===South Africa (27 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] and [[SSB]] (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.

''Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed mobile]] and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.''

===South Africa (29 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] on all channels. [[SSB]] only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz non-standard '''12.5 kHz''' channel spacing.

Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).

29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).

This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both [[Remote_Control#Australia|Australia]] and [[Remote_Control#New_Zealand|New Zealand]].

Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

===India 27 channel 27MHz CB===
[[AM]] and [[FM]] modes allowed. Shared with the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]]. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if [[SSB]] is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz - often expressed as 26.96 MHz - 27.28 MHz.

Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] and [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|UHF]] services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band [[350_MHz_Short_Range_Radio|SRR Short Range Radio]]. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select. 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz and 27.195 MHz RC/data/short range low power frequencies are skipped, as per the standard 40 channel CB radio band plan.

'''''IND08''' - Use of wireless equipments intended to be used while in motion or during halts, in the frequency band 26.957 MHz - 27.283 MHz (same as the 27 MHz [[ISM]] band), with a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 5 Watts has been exempted from licensing requirements.''

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters===

25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.

All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters Automatic Relay Recommended Channels Frequencies===

'''Use of CTCSS tone squelch is mandatory'''. FM mode. Recommended channels frequencies for automatic relay / parrot repeaters. Radios such as the President Washington with built in automatic relay and CTCSS / DCS as well as split operation have this capability.

===CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services===

Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or [[VHF / UHF Radio]] services such as [[PMR446]], [[LPD433]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]] services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.

Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz Italian "VHF CB"]] equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.

===CB Repeater Listing - Simplex Repeaters===

''Below is a list of confirmed '''as of October 2026''' CB repeaters and their location (if known).''

Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.

There are a ''lot'' of these in Russia. The Russians call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [https://cb-radio.ru/ARK.pdf] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [https://cb-radio.ru/]

Business Radio

2026-10-13T18:28:21Z

R4002: /* VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz */

Business Band Radio - '''this article deals exclusively with [[Land Mobile Radio|land mobile radio]] (LMR) or professional mobile radio systems (PMR, PLMR) in the United States.''' See the [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF and UHF Radio Services page]] for pages dealing with radio systems and allocations in other countries.

Officially called the "Industrial/Business Radio Pool" under 47 CFR 90.35.. within part 90 of the FCC rules (which covers land mobile radio in general - including public safety services). Known as '''LMR''' (land mobile radio), ''PMR'' (professional mobile radio) or '''PLMR''' (professional land mobile radio) as well as just the '''[[Business Band]]'''.

[[11_meter|High HF]] and [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] Land mobile radio service authorized under Part 90 (Land Mobile Radio Services) of the [[FCC]] rules. FCC eligibility verbiage states: Persons primarily engaged in any of the following activities are eligible to hold authorizations in the Industrial/Business Pool to provide commercial mobile radio service as defined in part 20 of this chapter or to operate stations for transmission of communications necessary to such activities of the licensee: (1) The operation commercial of business activity; (2) The operation of educational, philanthropic, or ecclesiastical institutions; (3) Clergy activities; or (4) The operation of hospitals, clinics, or medical associations.

Business Radio is not to be confused with license free or simple license services available for land mobile and portable or walkie-talkie radio purposes in the United States. These [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services include [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] and [[CB]]. FRS, MURS and CB are all heavily used as a low cost alternative to the hassle of business band.

==Below 25 MHz (2000 kHz - 25000 kHz)==
2 MHz - 25 MHz, below 25000 kHz below 25 MHz. The FCC considers industrial/business allocations above 25.0 MHz to be intended exclusively for local communications. For the purposes of land mobile, 2-25 MHz is considered "HF".

Specific frequencies:

*2292 kHz 2.292 MHz - fixed or mobile
*2398 kHz 2.398 MHz - fixed or mobile
*4637.5 kHz 4.6375 MHz - fixed or mobile
*5167.5 kHz 5.1675 MHz - Alaska Emergency frequency (dial frequency in USB mode)

*2000 kHz - 25,000 kHz - businesses may apply for frequencies in the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed/mobile bands]] between 2-25 MHz for base/mobile/fixed purposes, however, use of frequencies between 2 MHz and 25 MHz is limited to backup systems, emergency communications circuits, remote areas where VHF/UHF services would not provide the coverage or range required. Examples include geophysical exploration, telecommunications repair systems or backup systems used by telecom companies in emergencies, and other specialized purposes. Many of these licensed have been depreciated in favor of UHF/SHF SATCOM or satphone based systems.

==VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz==

The 25 MHz, 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are shared with numerous other services worldwide, including the HF SSB [[HF_marine#MF_SSB_and_HF_SSB_marine_bands|marine mobile]] service.

''Removed 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz from list..there are no active, canceled or expired licenses for any of those frequencies. Yes, they are technically assignable, but due to the fact that no legal users are on these frequencies, they’re included under the [[11 meter]] freeband CB list. 27.555MHz, 27.615MHz, 27.635MHz, 27.655MHz, 27.765MHz and 27.860MHz are some of the more popular illegal out of band [[CB]] frequencies.

What are the VHF low band channels frequencies? What frequency is 30MHz? What is 27 MHz? 49MHz range 27MHz band

Frequencies below 150 MHz may continue to use 20K0F3E or 16K0F3E "wideband" FM mode (also known as 25 kHz bandwidth or 20 kHz bandwidth). In the land mobile / business radio industry the term is often “25 kHz channels” or “25 kHz bandwidth”. VHF low band is not subject to the 2013 FCC narrowband mandate. However, narrowband FM may be used on low band. Some licenses will be authorized for 11K0F3E, 16K0F3E and 20K0F3E emissions.

The 25 MHz band (25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz), 27 MHz (27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz) and 29 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz) do actually have licensed business use as of 2020. The 25 MHz frequencies used for oil spill response as well as other land mobile purposes. The 25 MHz frequencies have frequency-specific regulations, including the permissive use of FSK tone signalling, impulse transmission for datalink or other purposes, with a maximum FSK datalink or signalling power output of 50 watts and a maximum of 3 minute bursts. These are allowed on a primary basis on 25.02 MHz, 25.06 MHz, 25.10 MHz and 25.18 MHz and on a secondary basis 25.14 MHz, 25.22 MHz, 25.26 MHz and 25.3 MHz.

The 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are also used for land mobile and offshore ship-to-ship communications. These bands are shared with military/government allocations as well as the fixed/mobile bands and numerous [[HF_pagers|other]] services in other [[Community_Audio_Distribution_Service|countries]].

While the FCC regulations do ''technically'' allow for business licenses on 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz in certain rural areas for forestry and logging communications (maximum power 150 watts), there are no active, expired or canceled licenses for any of these frequencies per the FCC database.
The 27.41 MHz to 28.0 MHz [[CB#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_and_Bands|band]] is still used by military and government stations, but the majority of signals heard there are from unlicensed [[CB]] freebanders or [[CB#CB_Frequencies.2C_freebanding_and_freeband_.22channeling.22|outbanders]].

The 27.54 MHz - 28 MHz band is shared with military/government users per NTIA regulations.

'''Any frequency between 30 MHz and 88 MHz may be used by the military (25 kHz steps)''' and there are various sub-bands allocated to exclusive government used by the NITA that fall within 29.8 MHz - 49.9 MHz (30-50 MHz).

The military and government have exclusive allocations for the 25.33 MHz to 25.55 MHz, 26.48 MHz to 26.95 MHz, 27.54 MHz to 28 MHz, 29.89 MHz to 29.91 MHz, 30 MHz to 30.56 MHz, 32 MHz to 33 MHz, 34 MHz to 35 MHz, 36 MHz to 37 MHz, 38.25 MHz to 39 MHz, 40 MHz to 42., [[Part_15#15.233_Operation_within_the_bands_43.71-44.49_MHz.2C_46.60-46.98_MHz.2C_48.75-49.51_MHz_and_49.66-50.0_MHz.|46.6 MHz to 47.]] MHz and [[Part_15#15.235_Operation_within_the_band_49.82-49.90_MHz.|49.6 MHz to 50 MHz]] bands.

FM voice bandwidth 25 kHz permitted under FCC regulations. [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|Emission designators]] 20K0F3E and 16K0F3E are common for FM voice, 20K0F3D and 16K0F3D for DTMF and other tone-modulated signaling, alerting systems and 20K0F2D, 19K0F2D, 16K0F2D, 20K0F1D, 19K0F1D, 16K0F1D, 16K0G2D, etc. [[telemetry]] are also commonly found. The 25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|band]], 27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|band]] and 29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz [[Fishnet_beacon|band]] are shared with marine mobile, the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service, mobile service]], land mobile, CB radio [[CB#UK_CB_.2227.2F81.22_Frequencies|bands]] and [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|27 MHz]] marine radio, [[CB#South_Africa_.2829_MHz_CB.29|29 MHz]] CB and marine services or [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|fishery radio]] services (in other countries), paging systems, [[HF_pagers|telemetry]] (fixed/mobile) systems. The 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz band (25 kHz steps, or in some implementations, 12.5 kHz steps, FM or NFM) is used throughout Asia for fishery radio communications, ship to ship and ship to shore. [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|This service was originally designed in China but has spread throughout Asia. Usually referred to as "FM Fishery Radiotelephone" or "Dedicated Fishing Boat Radio-telephone" The 25 kHz step (480 channel) version is the most commonly used.]] No CTCSS or DCS tone squelch or coded squelch is uses on the "Dedicated Fishery Radio" or "Asian Fishery Radio" service. In other words, it is carrier squelch (CSQ) only. Due to the significant overlap (up to the 39 MHz band) that this service has with VHF low band, it is worthy of mentioning here.

The 30-50 MHz VHF low band business bands may be (and frequently are) used within the United States by the US military for [[SINCGARS#VHF_Tactical_FM_Land_Mobile_Air-Ground_Military_Communications| various purposes]] - non frequency hopping uses include: range control, aircraft advisory and [[VHF_airband|secondary]] air traffic control purposes, air-to-air and air-to-ground communications, land mobile (tactical comms) - both in frequency hopping (FH) and single channel (SC) mode. The US military have [[SINCGARS#Federal_Government_and_Military_Only_Bands_30-50_MHz|their own sub-bands within VHF low band where they are the primary authorized user]]. However, NTIA and FCC regulations permit use of any frequency between 30.000 MHz and 87.975 MHz (25 kHz channel spacing) [[SINCGARS#NTIA_Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations|on a non-interference basis]]. As long as they're not interfering with the primary licensed user for a given area, they may (and do) use frequencies within the VHF low band business bands and the VHF low band public safety bands. ''The military use wider than normal FM deviation and a non-standard 150.0 Hz tone squelch. Most scanners, receivers, SDRs, etc. will decode 150 Hz as 151.4 Hz. ''

==VHF Mid Band 72-76 MHz==

Special purpose use only. See section 90.205 (power limits), 90.257 and 90.241. The 72-76 MHz band is shared with [[Remote_Control|72/75 MHz remote control frequencies under Part 95]], operational fixed stations in the maritime mobile service (marine radio service). It is also shared with very low power assisted listening audio transmitter [[Part 15]] systems operating in the 72.0 MHz - 73.0 MHz, 74.6 MHz - 74.8 MHz and 75.2 MHz - 76.0 MHz bands per 47 CFR [[Part_15#15.237_-_Operation_in_the_bands_72.0-73.0_MHz.2C_74.6-74.8_MHz_and_75.2-76.0_MHz.|15.237]].

The band 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz is exclusively allocated to the [[VHF_airband|aeronautical]] [[VOR|radio navigation]] [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]] for [[ILS]] marker beacons operating on 75 MHz. 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz operates as a guard band for the 75.0 MHz marker beacons (part of the [[ILS]] system).

Part FCC Part 90.35, 72-76 MHz is not used for traditional land mobile purposes like the other bands are. 20K0F3D, 20K0F2D, 20K0F1D emissions are commonly found for fixed [[telemetry]] links. 20K0F3E regular 25 kHz FM voice emission is found for operational fixed links using voice and/or mixed voice/data. 1 watt power limit for "fixed stations". Note that fixed, base and mobile stations are all licensed as "mobile" stations even if they are fixed stations. Actual fixed stations are limited to 300 watts ERP.

This frequency is shared with the Radio Control (R/C) Service, of the part 95 Personal Radio Services, where it is used solely for the radio control of models.

Note that in most of the world, VHF mid band is 66-88 MHz. It is used for land mobile, plus the [[OIRT]] FM broadcast band, the 4 meter (70 MHz) [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|amateur radio band]], [[78_MHz_VHF_CB|78 MHz VHF CB]] (Thailand), [[RHA68]] 67 MHz - 72 MHz license free [[CB]]-like service in Finland, and the [[69_MHz_VHF_CB|69 MHz CB service]] in Sweden.

Used for point-to-point links (voice and data), call boxes, telemetry, [[POCSAG|paging]] system [[HF_pagers|links]], industrial control purposes, radio clock control, etc. The California Highway Patrol CHP [[VHF / UHF Radio|hybrid VHF/UHF/700 MHz]] system uses 72 MHz and 75 MHz, as well as microwave systems, to link remote receiver sites for its VHF low band statewide land mobile network. Several other systems in various places nationwide operate similar systems using the mid band for linking remote sites and providing back-haul audio link capability. The 72 MHz frequencies are also heavily used for low power point-to-point data links, for example controlling a GPS-based clock system. These systems generally transmit in the 2-10 watt range and cover schools, college campuses, manufacturing sites, etc. The 74 MHz and 75 MHz frequencies may be used for industrial process control, telemetry and other specialized uses. Public safety users utilize these frequencies for back-haul purposes as described above as well as to control tornado sirens, for roadside emergency call boxes or other specialized purposes.

==VHF High Band 150-174 MHz==

'''This band is usually the band what is referred to simply as "VHF". Many radios call this band 136-174 MHz, [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|144]]-174 MHz, 146-174 MHz or something like that.'''

''There are several spots in the 150-156 MHz and 157.45-160.2 MHz bands where the 7.5 kHz channel steps are ignored or other band plans seem to have been "dropped in", resulting in odd channel steps and offsets (10 kHz channel steps, 3.75 kHz offset, etc.) This is most evident around 150.775 MHz, 150.7975 MHz, 150.800 MHz, 150.805 MHz, 150.8125 MHz, 150.815 MHz, the 154.4525 MHz, 154.45625 MHz, 154.46375 MHz, 154.47125 MHz, 154.47875 MHz, 154.4825 MHz, 154.490 MHz, 154.4975 MHz, 154.505 MHz, 154.515 MHz, 154.5275 MHz, 154.53375 MHz, 154.540 MHz, 154.5475 MHz, 154.555 MHz, 154.570 MHz, 154.585 MHz, 154.600 MHz, 154.610 MHz, and 154.640 MHz portion, the overlap between the [[VHF_marine|VHF marine band]] starting at 156.000 MHz (public safety allocations continue from 155.9925 MHz in 7.5 kHz steps up through 156.240 MHz, which land mobile allocations overlapping marine channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 60, 61, 62, 63 and 64. Some of these marine channels are available in limited areas - where land mobile allocations in the 156.000 MHz to 156.240 MHz region are prohibited).

==VHF 220 MHz Band 216-222 MHz==

''This portion actually consists of multiple services. The 216-217 MHz Low Power Radio Service ([[LPRS]]), the 217-218 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service, the 218-219 MHz service (which is covered under Part 95 as a Personal Radio Service), the 219-220 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service (shared with [[amateur radio]]) and the 220-222 MHz band covered under Part 90 as a land mobile service. ''

217-218 MHz band / 219-220 MHz band is allocated to the AMTS service on a primary basis. Amateur radio (1.25 meter band) has secondary prilivges on this band. The 217 MHz band may also be used for VHF trunking systems, including land mobile systems, inland from waterways to avoid interference to the marine AMTS system.

217-218 MHz trunking systems use 3.125 kHz offset / 6.25 kHz offset frequencies with 12.5 kHz channel steps. for example 217.63125 MHz, 217.91875 MHz, 217.78125 MHz, 217.70625 MHz, etc. Mobiles transmit 2 MHz higher (repeater inputs in the 219-220 MHz band, for example 219.63125 MHz, 219.91875 MHz, 219.78125 MHz, 219.70625 MHz, etc.). DMR and other digital narrow band modes are used.

47 CFR § 90.259 - Similar propagation characteristics to the VHF high band, used for trunking systems and other purposes nationwide. Standardized channel pairs, band plan and channel numbering per FCC rules. Not all frequencies are available for business users. Some frequencies are only available in certain areas. Paired systems use 1 MHz offset (mobiles transmit 1 MHz higher for repeater input).

5 kHz channels, 5 kHz steps, 2.5 kHz offset. 220.0025 MHz, 220.0075 MHz, 220.0125 MHz, 220.0175 MHz, 220.02225 MHz, up to 221.9925 MHz, 221.9975 MHz.

==UHF Band 406-413 MHz==

Like the 169-172 MHz, use of these frequencies is limited to fixed stations transmitting hydrological or meteorological data. These frequencies are referred to as the "Hydro Channels" and are shared with federal government stations on a secondary basis. The 406.125 MHz and 406.175 MHz frequencies may be paired with 415.125 MHz and 415.175 MHz. Narrowband F1D and F2D [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|emissions]].

==UHF Band 421-430 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''' - specifically in and near Detroit, MI, in and near Cleveland, OH and in and near Buffalo, NY. Frequencies fall within 420-450 MHz 70cm amateur radio allocation. In the areas listed, amateur radio use is not permitted below 430 MHz. The entire 420-450 MHz band is shared nationwide with military users and prohibitions exist in other areas. All operations (including mobiles) are limited to an 80km (50 mile) radius of the center locations as defined in FCC rules 90.273, 90.275, 90.279, 90.281, and 90.619. Public Safety users have additional sub-bands allocated (423.0000 MHz - 424.3875 MHz paired with 428.0000 MHz - 429.3875 MHz). 12.5 kHz channel steps. Repeater inputs +5 MHz split (same as the regular 450-470 MHz UHF band).

'''Detroit and Cleveland'''
*422.2000 MHz - 422.9875 MHz (input frequencies 427.2000 MHz - 427.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*424.4000 MHz - 424.9875 MHz (input frequencies 429.4000 MHz - 429.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

'''Buffalo'''

*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

Like the UHF-T (UHF-TV) band 470-512 MHz, the 421-430 MHz band was allocated to alleviate pressure in large metro areas where frequency congestion is a significant problem. Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are located near large Canadian cities. Frequency coordination with Canada is performed for license authorization in these areas.

==UHF Band 450-470 MHz==

The UHF band follows a standardized repeater pairing system. Mobiles transmit +5 MHz split. For example, a repeater operating on 451.375 MHz has a mobile input of 456.375 MHz. A repeater operating on 464.775 MHz has a mobile input of 469.775 MHz. The input frequencies can, and often are, used for simplex operations as well. 6.25 kHz offsets and 3.125 kHz offsets may be used. The 454 MHz band and 459 MHz band may be used for business purposes under Part 22 paging licenses in urban areas where frequency congestion is a serious issue. Analog FM as well as various digital voice modes and trunking systems may be used (for example, DMR, Motorola TRBO, NXDN trunking, IDAS, DMR Tier 3 trunking, etc). The same +5 MHz offset applies. For example, a mobile transmitting on 459.30625 MHz for a repeater output of 454.30625 MHz.

The 450-470 MHz land mobile systems that use repeaters must use the band plan and the +5 MHz split. Inverting the input and output frequencies is not allowed like it is on the the amateur bands.

462.5375 MHz, 462.7375 MHz, 467.5375 MHz and 467.7375 MHz are the guard band channels between Part 90 and the Part 95 allocations ([[FRS]] and [[GMRS]]. These frequencies may only be used with narrow band digital modes (NDXN or NEXEDGE, IDAS narrow, DMR, etc.). If used as part of a trunking system, 462.5375 MHz and 462.7375 MHz are used as repeater outputs, paired with 467.5375 and 467.7375, respectively. There are reports of these four frequencies being used as simplex frequencies at very large events (radio rentals, etc).

*Group A1 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies. Group A1 frequencies are only available for assignment within an 80 km radius (50 mile radius) of metropolitan areas.

*Group A2 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies.

*Group B - Data and telemetry (including telecommand - remote control) are the primary users of these frequencies. Voice is permitted, but only on a secondary basis to non-voice uses. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Base stations (fixed stations) may be licensed as mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group C - Telemetry / data (non-voice) and voice systems, shared. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group D - Alarm system telemetry, wireless links back to central office control station. 2 watt power limit, antenna at the central alarm control station may be up to 20 feet above ground.

Under [[FCC]] rules Part 90.267, low-power 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz "splint" or "splinter" frequencies in the 450 MHz to 470 MHz band are broken down into different groups:

*'''Group A1''' - low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles''': '''6 watts'''. Only available within 80 km radius (49.7 mile radius) of larger metro areas. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired for repeater purposes. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group A2''' - may be shared with non-voice users (for example, telemetry), low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles: 6 watts'''. Available nationwide. Maximum height for fixed stations is 75 feet above ground. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group B''' - Group B frequencies are available for non-voice operations on a primary basis. Voice operations will be permitted on a secondary basis. Base, mobile or operational fixed stations will be authorized on Group B frequencies. Fixed stations may be licensed as mobile. Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. '''Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts.''' '''Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts.''' ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.'' These frequencies may be used for short-range data links, control systems for clocks, bells or other alarms in schools or on campuses, sprinkler systems at golf courses and numerous other datalink systems.

*'''Group C''' - Group C frequencies are available for voice and non-voice operations on a co-primary basis. Only mobile operations will be authorized on Group C frequencies. Stations may operate at fixed locations for a temporary period of time. '''No stations operating at a permanent fixed location will be authorized on Group C frequencies.''' Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts. Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts. ''Group C low power frequencies are heavily used for simplex portable radios on job sites and for similar purposes. While the frequencies in group A1, A2 and B are also used for on-site voice radio walkie-talkie purposes, Group C is more frequently encountered.
''
*'''Group D''' - Only available for central alarm signaling and [[telemetry]] purposes in urban areas, except in rural areas where coordination is required. Operation on Group D frequencies is limited to 2 watts output power for mobile, base or operational fixed stations. Fixed stations used for central station alarm operations may utilize antennas mounted not more than 7 meters (20 feet) above a man-made supporting structure, including antenna structure.

Except for itinerant operations on Group C, wide area operations will not be authorized. The area of normal day-to-day operations will be described in the application in terms of maximum distance from a geographic center (latitude and longitude).

A hospital or health care institution holding a license to operate a radio station under this part may operate a medical radio telemetry device with an output power not to exceed 20 milliwatts 20mw 0.02 watts without specific authorization from the Commission. All licensees operating under this authority must comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this section. The 6.25 kHz channels have more strict frequency stability and bandwidth limitations compared to the 12.5 kHz channels. The 6.25 kHz channels are generally only used in heavily urbanized areas where frequency congestion and interference are problematic.

Some specialty business users (race frequencies, such as those used by [[Racing_frequencies|NASCAR teams]], other racing users and for on track operations) often use frequencies outside the standard low power frequencies. Due to the temporary and low power characteristics of these types of users, interference is usually not a problem. Individual track facilities have their own on-site radio systems, often including licensed repeaters and use of portable (temporary) itinerant frequencies. Larger events use the 450 MHz / 455 MHz [[Broadcast_auxiliary_remote_station|broadcast]] cue (IFB/STL) frequencies.

Frequencies from the lists below, plus the standard itinerant UHF frequencies 451.8 MHz, 451.8125 MHz, 456.8 MHz, 456.8125 MHz, 464.5 MHz, 464.55 MHz, 469.5 MHz and 469.55 MHz are often used for inter squad radio (intra squad radio) militia prepper squad radio using low power [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Intra-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channels_UHF_16-Channel_Radio_Programming_Plan_Militia_Patriot_Inter-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channel_List|16 channel short range]] low probability of intercept 450-470 MHz handhelds such as the Luiton LT-458, Baofeng BF-888S family, Retevis handhelds including the H777 family and higher quality UHF radios including those by Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, etc.

==UHF-T Band 470-512 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''', and in those areas only certain sections of it are used. 470 MHz to 512 MHz is allocated to UHF TV channels 14-20 - hence the UHF-T or UHF-TV designation. In larger urban areas, channels are "borrowed" and re-assigned to land mobile.

'''The FCC has mandated that users vacate these frequencies in the “near future“ (whatever that means...2020? 2022? 2025?) as part of the transition to Digital Television (DTV) and the general push towards public safety use of the 700 MHz band. The largest users of the 470-512 MHz UHF-T band include massive public safety radio systems in several massive metro areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and numerous others.'''

Like the 450-470 MHz band, UHF-T has a standardized repeater input/mobile transmit and repeater output/simplex split or offset. Instead of 5 MHz, its 3 MHz. For example, a repeater operating on 470.6875 MHz has a mobile input frequency of 473.6875 MHz associated with it. In areas with the band starting at 470.0000 MHz, the first available frequency is 300 kHz up from the edge of the band, 470.3125 MHz.

The original band plan called for 25 kHz steps with 12.5 kHz offset channels. As of 2020, the 470-512 MHz band does not require use of 12.5 kHz channels narrow band modulation (NFM, DMR, NXDN, P25, etc.) emissions. However, many cities where the UHF-T band is used suffer from extreme land mobile radio channel congestion. Therefore, they are forced to use narrow channels (12.5 kHz channels and 6.25 kHz channels) anyway. Note that, as with the 450-470 MHz band, there is distinction between public safety and business users. In the interest of clarity and context, however, the discussion on the UHF-T band will include public safety radio systems.

A good example of this would be the FDNY Fire and EMS dispatch systems on the 482 MHz and 483 MHz band and their associated Motorola Type II trunking and Project 25 trunking systems that operate in the 482 MHz and 483 MHz region with the 6.25 kHz channel step. FDNY's fire dispatch system utilizes a half-duplex "split" frequency setup with base stations (dispatchers) transmitting on the low side and mobiles replying on the +3 MHz input mobile transmit frequency. They are not set up like a traditional repeater, however. FDNY fire dispatch frequencies 482.00625 MHz, 482.01875 MHz, 482.03125 MHz 482.04375 MHz 482.10625 MHz and 482.23125 MHz transmit narrow FM (12.5 kHz bandwidth) on the 6.25 kHz channels. The same is true for the FDNY EMS dispatch system, however the EMS dispatch system operates as a traditional simulcast repeater system.

In some areas, all public safety and a large amount of business radio operates in the 470-512 MHz T-band or TV-band. These cities (and their associated metropolitan areas) include: Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Cleveland, OH, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, Detroit, MI, Houston, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, New York, NY/N.E. New Jersey, Philadelphia, PA, San Francisco/Oakland, CA and the Washington-Baltimore metro area.

==800 MHz/900 MHz band 809-940 MHz==
Most of the systems the 800 MHz and 900 MHz land mobile bands are trunked radio systems. It is important to note that the 806-824 MHz and 851-869 MHz bands are shared with public safety systems.

Some on-site business systems use the 900 MHz band, including the Motorola DTR 900 MHz FHSS frequency hopping spread spectrum handheld radios, which operate 1 watt transmit power on the 902-928 MHz [[ISM]] and [[Part 15]] band using [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|frequency hopping digital voice]].

Current examples include the [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|Motorola DTR410, DTR550, DTR650, DTR600 and DTR700 radios. These radios operate with 50 kHz channel spacing and 8-level FSK digital FHSS]] 902-928 MHz band (channels start at 902.525 MHz and continue to 927.475 MHz, 525 kHz from band edges for a total of 500 available channels at 50 kHz channel spacing), in compliance with Part 15 of the FCC rules - specifically [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|47 CFR 15.247]].

A full listing of the Motorola 900MHz FHSS digital on-site license free business radios frequency hop set frequencies list is available [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|here]]. Basically, starting at 902.525 MHz, every 50 kHz up to 927.475 MHz, is one of the frequencies used by the Motorola FHSS 900 MHz “ISM band” license-free on site digital business radios.

The DTR 900 MHz digital business radios offer performance comparable with UHF walkie-talkies as far as in-building coverage goes.

The 902-928 MHz band is shared with numerous other services and devices, including [[Cordless_telephone#United_States|analog and digital cordless phones]], UAV or drone [[Remote_Control#900_MHz_RC_Frequencies|radio control]], other remote control/[[Remote_Control#United_States|radio control]] systems and backhaul telemetry links, analog and digital video senders, point to point audio links, ISM services, [[Wi-Fi#900_MHz_.28802.11ah.29|900 MHz WiFi]] or 802.11ah [[Wi-Fi]] and various other telemetry and data networks and services.

''Can businesses use FRS radios? Yes [[FRS#FRS_Frequently_Asked_Questions_FRS_FAQ|they can under Part 95]] of the FCC rules. '''Only the 5 MURS frequencies and the 22 FRS frequencies may be used without a license''', however.''

Often heard at construction sites, special events, shopping malls, stores, gas stations, etc. There is also movement in the hunting community away from CB/11 meter and VHF marine towards licensed Part 90 land mobile/business radio systems.

See [[Hunt_Club_Frequencies|hunt club radio frequencies]] and American militia tactical VHF/UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Radio_Programming_Plan_-_Handheld_Radios|tactical frequencies and channel plans for VHF/UHF and UHF radios - Baofeng, etc.]] as well as UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#UHF_Only_16-Channel_Intra-Squad_Radio_Inter-Squad_Radio_ISR|intra squad radio (or inter-squad radio, or ISR) intra-squad radio frequency plans]].

These frequencies are often supplemented with heavy use of [[FRS]] frequencies. Use of all 22 FRS frequencies is permitted by businesses under the FCC rules.

Note the Motorola, Kenwood, Vertex, Baofeng, etc. on-site business radio [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Retevis_Blackbox_Radios_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|default factory codes channels frequencies settings and available frequencies in a separate section below]] - these are not FRS/GMRS frequencies. Motorola FRS and GMRS radios use the standard 14 or 22 FRS channels.

All Part 90 frequencies above 150 MHz must operate in narrow band mode or use digital voice modes that meet the FCC narrowbanding requirement.

*Narrow band FM voice emissions include 11K2F3E (sometimes listed on licenses as 11K3F3E or 11K0F3E), 10K5F3E, 10K0F3E, 9K20F3E, 9K10F3E 8K50F3E, 8K00F3E, and 6K00F3E.

Do I need a license to transmit on 151.625 MHz? Yes, you do. You need a license to use all the business band frequencies, including 151.625 MHz, 151.505 MHz, 158.400 MHz, 151.955 MHz, 151.700 MHz, 151.760 MHz, 464.550 MHz, 464.500 MHz, 467.925 MHz, 467.875 MHz, 467.900 MHz, etc. '''Only the 22 FRS frequencies, the 5 MURS frequencies and the 40 CB channels do not require a license.''' ''Getting a business license for the Itinerant channels is extremely easy. ''

Most of the transmissions you'll hear on these frequencies are from portable handheld radios - walkie-talkies, but sometimes high powered mobile radios or even portable repeaters are heard. Portable or temporary repeater output frequencies may be any of the VHF low or VHF high frequencies. On the UHF band, input frequency is 5 MHz above output frequency. In many situations all frequencies are used for simplex only. The 457 MHz, 462 MHz and 467 MHz frequencies are simplex use only and are often used for on-site communications using portable handheld radios. Several of the itinerant frequencies may be used as repeater output channels, repeater input channels or for simplex/talk-around purposes. Examples include the 464.500 MHz, 464.550 MHz and 469.500 MHz, 469.550 MHz frequencies. 464.550 MHz may be used as a repeater output (paired with 469.550 MHz) or both frequencies may be used for simplex purposes. The 457/467 MHz frequencies are also used by shipboard and dockside repeaters or simplex systems aboard ship (10 MHz offset or 10.225 MHz offset). The itinerant frequencies in the VHF bands do not have a set pairing or offset like the UHF bands do.

The default channels / frequencies for most job site / contractor / construction site crews will vary. Many crews use [[FRS]], [[MURS]] or [[CB]] for on-site communications, especially if multiple contractors and subcontractors are working together on a large site. The default out of the box factory UHF channels are also often heavily used.

See the factory portable radio frequencies and available frequencies listed in the [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|section]] below.

This is a dynamic list and is a work in progress. '''It will never be complete or completely accurate due to regional and local variation.''' It is an attempt to consolidate multiple databases and lists currently residing in various parts of the Internet. Like most of these lists, this will never be complete or 100% accurate. Businesses will often simply buy radios and use them without bothering with licensing or frequency coordination. Use of the license-free [[FRS]] and [[MURS]] frequencies is also very widespread. Individual stores may change frequencies and/or [[FRS#FRS_CTCSS_and_DCS_Subchannel_Code_Tone_.22Privacy_Code.22_Listing|CTCSS / PL or DCS / DPL tones or codes]] - tone/codes, especially in [[Business_Radio#Commonly_Heard_CTCSS_and_DCS_Tones_Codes_For_Popular_UHF_VHF_Business_Itinerant_Frequencies|areas where multiple groups are using the same frequency]] - to meet their specific needs, even if this means deviating from a nationwide or regional chain channel plan.

Most stores use 154.570 MHz and 154.600 MHz as their primary frequencies with CSQ. In areas where interference is an issue, stores will use one of the other MURS frequencies and/or CTCSS or DCS tones/codes as appropriate.

Sam's Club appears to use CTCSS or DCS more often than Wal-Mart, with 131 DPL / 131 DCS as well as 74.4 Hz PL noted. Carrier squelch appears to be the norm unless there's a compelling reason (repeated issues with interference from other MURS users) to use CTCSS or DCS (tone squelch PL or DPL).

Business Radio

2026-10-13T18:20:27Z

R4002: /* VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz */

Business Band Radio - '''this article deals exclusively with [[Land Mobile Radio|land mobile radio]] (LMR) or professional mobile radio systems (PMR, PLMR) in the United States.''' See the [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF and UHF Radio Services page]] for pages dealing with radio systems and allocations in other countries.

Officially called the "Industrial/Business Radio Pool" under 47 CFR 90.35.. within part 90 of the FCC rules (which covers land mobile radio in general - including public safety services). Known as '''LMR''' (land mobile radio), ''PMR'' (professional mobile radio) or '''PLMR''' (professional land mobile radio) as well as just the '''[[Business Band]]'''.

[[11_meter|High HF]] and [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] Land mobile radio service authorized under Part 90 (Land Mobile Radio Services) of the [[FCC]] rules. FCC eligibility verbiage states: Persons primarily engaged in any of the following activities are eligible to hold authorizations in the Industrial/Business Pool to provide commercial mobile radio service as defined in part 20 of this chapter or to operate stations for transmission of communications necessary to such activities of the licensee: (1) The operation commercial of business activity; (2) The operation of educational, philanthropic, or ecclesiastical institutions; (3) Clergy activities; or (4) The operation of hospitals, clinics, or medical associations.

Business Radio is not to be confused with license free or simple license services available for land mobile and portable or walkie-talkie radio purposes in the United States. These [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services include [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] and [[CB]]. FRS, MURS and CB are all heavily used as a low cost alternative to the hassle of business band.

==Below 25 MHz (2000 kHz - 25000 kHz)==
2 MHz - 25 MHz, below 25000 kHz below 25 MHz. The FCC considers industrial/business allocations above 25.0 MHz to be intended exclusively for local communications. For the purposes of land mobile, 2-25 MHz is considered "HF".

Specific frequencies:

*2292 kHz 2.292 MHz - fixed or mobile
*2398 kHz 2.398 MHz - fixed or mobile
*4637.5 kHz 4.6375 MHz - fixed or mobile
*5167.5 kHz 5.1675 MHz - Alaska Emergency frequency (dial frequency in USB mode)

*2000 kHz - 25,000 kHz - businesses may apply for frequencies in the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed/mobile bands]] between 2-25 MHz for base/mobile/fixed purposes, however, use of frequencies between 2 MHz and 25 MHz is limited to backup systems, emergency communications circuits, remote areas where VHF/UHF services would not provide the coverage or range required. Examples include geophysical exploration, telecommunications repair systems or backup systems used by telecom companies in emergencies, and other specialized purposes. Many of these licensed have been depreciated in favor of UHF/SHF SATCOM or satphone based systems.

==VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz==

The 25 MHz, 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are shared with numerous other services worldwide, including the HF SSB [[HF_marine#MF_SSB_and_HF_SSB_marine_bands|marine mobile]] service.

''Removed 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz from list..there are no active, canceled or expired licenses for any of those frequencies. Yes, they are technically assignable, but due to the fact that no legal users are on these frequencies, they’re included under the [[11 meter]] freeband CB list. 27.555MHz, 27.615MHz, 27.635MHz, 27.655MHz, 27.765MHz and 27.860MHz are some of the more popular illegal out of band [[CB]] frequencies.

What are the VHF low band channels frequencies? What frequency is 30MHz? What is 27 MHz? 49MHz range 27MHz band

Frequencies below 150 MHz may continue to use 20K0F3E or 16K0F3E "wideband" FM mode (also known as 25 kHz bandwidth or 20 kHz bandwidth). In the land mobile / business radio industry the term is often “25 kHz channels” or “25 kHz bandwidth”. VHF low band is not subject to the 2013 FCC narrowband mandate. However, narrowband FM may be used on low band. Some licenses will be authorized for 11K0F3E, 16K0F3E and 20K0F3E emissions.

The 25 MHz band (25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz), 27 MHz (27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz) and 29 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz) do actually have licensed business use as of 2020. The 25 MHz frequencies used for oil spill response as well as other land mobile purposes. The 25 MHz frequencies have frequency-specific regulations, including the permissive use of FSK tone signalling, impulse transmission for datalink or other purposes, with a maximum FSK datalink or signalling power output of 50 watts and a maximum of 3 minute bursts. These are allowed on a primary basis on 25.02 MHz, 25.06 MHz, 25.10 MHz and 25.18 MHz and on a secondary basis 25.14 MHz, 25.22 MHz, 25.26 MHz and 25.3 MHz.

The 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are also used for land mobile and offshore ship-to-ship communications. These bands are shared with military/government allocations as well as the fixed/mobile bands and numerous [[HF_pagers|other]] services in other [[Community_Audio_Distribution_Service|countries]].

While the FCC regulations do ''technically'' allow for business licenses on 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz in certain rural areas for forestry and logging communications (maximum power 150 watts), there are no active, expired or canceled licenses for any of these frequencies per the FCC database.
The 27.41 MHz to 28.0 MHz [[CB#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_and_Bands|band]] is still used by military and government stations, but the majority of signals heard there are from unlicensed [[CB]] freebanders or [[CB#CB_Frequencies.2C_freebanding_and_freeband_.22channeling.22|outbanders]].

The 27.54 MHz - 28 MHz band is shared with military/government users per NTIA regulations.

'''Any frequency between 30 MHz and 88 MHz may be used by the military (25 kHz steps)''' and there are various sub-bands allocated to exclusive government used by the NITA that fall within 29.8 MHz - 49.9 MHz (30-50 MHz).

The military and government have exclusive allocations for the 25.33 MHz to 25.55 MHz, 26.48 MHz to 26.95 MHz, 27.54 MHz to 28 MHz, 29.89 MHz to 29.91 MHz, 30 MHz to 30.56 MHz, 32 MHz to 33 MHz, 34 MHz to 35 MHz, 36 MHz to 37 MHz, 38.25 MHz to 39 MHz, 40 MHz to 42., [[Part_15#15.233_Operation_within_the_bands_43.71-44.49_MHz.2C_46.60-46.98_MHz.2C_48.75-49.51_MHz_and_49.66-50.0_MHz.|46.6 MHz to 47.]] MHz and [[Part_15#15.235_Operation_within_the_band_49.82-49.90_MHz.|49.6 MHz to 50 MHz]] bands.

FM voice bandwidth 25 kHz permitted under FCC regulations. [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|Emission designators]] 20K0F3E and 16K0F3E are common for FM voice, 20K0F3D and 16K0F3D for DTMF and other tone-modulated signaling, alerting systems and 20K0F2D, 19K0F2D, 16K0F2D, 20K0F1D, 19K0F1D, 16K0F1D, 16K0G2D, etc. [[telemetry]] are also commonly found. The 25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|band]], 27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|band]] and 29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz [[Fishnet_beacon|band]] are shared with marine mobile, the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service, mobile service]], land mobile, CB radio [[CB#UK_CB_.2227.2F81.22_Frequencies|bands]] and [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|27 MHz]] marine radio, [[CB#South_Africa_.2829_MHz_CB.29|29 MHz]] CB and marine services or [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|fishery radio]] services (in other countries), paging systems, [[HF_pagers|telemetry]] (fixed/mobile) systems. The 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz band (25 kHz steps, or in some implementations, 12.5 kHz steps, FM or NFM) is used throughout Asia for fishery radio communications, ship to ship and ship to shore. [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|This service was originally designed in China but has spread throughout Asia. Usually referred to as "FM Fishery Radiotelephone" or "Dedicated Fishing Boat Radio-telephone" The 25 kHz step (480 channel) version is the most commonly used.]] No CTCSS or DCS tone squelch or coded squelch is uses on the "Dedicated Fishery Radio" or "Asian Fishery Radio" service. In other words, it is carrier squelch (CSQ) only. Due to the significant overlap (up to the 39 MHz band) that this service has with VHF low band, it is worthy of mentioning here.

The 30-50 MHz VHF low band business bands may be (and frequently are) used within the United States by the US military for [[SINCGARS#VHF_Tactical_FM_Land_Mobile_Air-Ground_Military_Communications| various purposes]] - non frequency hopping uses include: range control, aircraft advisory and [[VHF_airband|secondary]] air traffic control purposes, air-to-air and air-to-ground communications, land mobile (tactical comms) - both in frequency hopping (FH) and single channel (SC) mode. The US military have [[SINCGARS#Federal_Government_and_Military_Only_Bands_30-50_MHz|their own sub-bands within VHF low band where they are the primary authorized user]]. However, NTIA and FCC regulations permit use of any frequency between 30.000 MHz and 87.975 MHz (25 kHz channel spacing) [[SINCGARS#NTIA_Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations|on a non-interference basis]]. As long as they're not interfering with the primary licensed user for a given area, they may (and do) use frequencies within the VHF low band business bands and the VHF low band public safety bands. ''The military use wider than normal FM deviation and a non-standard 150.0 Hz tone squelch. Most scanners, receivers, SDRs, etc. will decode 150 Hz as 151.4 Hz. ''

==VHF Mid Band 72-76 MHz==

Special purpose use only. See section 90.205 (power limits), 90.257 and 90.241. The 72-76 MHz band is shared with [[Remote_Control|72/75 MHz remote control frequencies under Part 95]], operational fixed stations in the maritime mobile service (marine radio service). It is also shared with very low power assisted listening audio transmitter [[Part 15]] systems operating in the 72.0 MHz - 73.0 MHz, 74.6 MHz - 74.8 MHz and 75.2 MHz - 76.0 MHz bands per 47 CFR [[Part_15#15.237_-_Operation_in_the_bands_72.0-73.0_MHz.2C_74.6-74.8_MHz_and_75.2-76.0_MHz.|15.237]].

The band 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz is exclusively allocated to the [[VHF_airband|aeronautical]] [[VOR|radio navigation]] [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]] for [[ILS]] marker beacons operating on 75 MHz. 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz operates as a guard band for the 75.0 MHz marker beacons (part of the [[ILS]] system).

Part FCC Part 90.35, 72-76 MHz is not used for traditional land mobile purposes like the other bands are. 20K0F3D, 20K0F2D, 20K0F1D emissions are commonly found for fixed [[telemetry]] links. 20K0F3E regular 25 kHz FM voice emission is found for operational fixed links using voice and/or mixed voice/data. 1 watt power limit for "fixed stations". Note that fixed, base and mobile stations are all licensed as "mobile" stations even if they are fixed stations. Actual fixed stations are limited to 300 watts ERP.

This frequency is shared with the Radio Control (R/C) Service, of the part 95 Personal Radio Services, where it is used solely for the radio control of models.

Note that in most of the world, VHF mid band is 66-88 MHz. It is used for land mobile, plus the [[OIRT]] FM broadcast band, the 4 meter (70 MHz) [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|amateur radio band]], [[78_MHz_VHF_CB|78 MHz VHF CB]] (Thailand), [[RHA68]] 67 MHz - 72 MHz license free [[CB]]-like service in Finland, and the [[69_MHz_VHF_CB|69 MHz CB service]] in Sweden.

Used for point-to-point links (voice and data), call boxes, telemetry, [[POCSAG|paging]] system [[HF_pagers|links]], industrial control purposes, radio clock control, etc. The California Highway Patrol CHP [[VHF / UHF Radio|hybrid VHF/UHF/700 MHz]] system uses 72 MHz and 75 MHz, as well as microwave systems, to link remote receiver sites for its VHF low band statewide land mobile network. Several other systems in various places nationwide operate similar systems using the mid band for linking remote sites and providing back-haul audio link capability. The 72 MHz frequencies are also heavily used for low power point-to-point data links, for example controlling a GPS-based clock system. These systems generally transmit in the 2-10 watt range and cover schools, college campuses, manufacturing sites, etc. The 74 MHz and 75 MHz frequencies may be used for industrial process control, telemetry and other specialized uses. Public safety users utilize these frequencies for back-haul purposes as described above as well as to control tornado sirens, for roadside emergency call boxes or other specialized purposes.

==VHF High Band 150-174 MHz==

'''This band is usually the band what is referred to simply as "VHF". Many radios call this band 136-174 MHz, [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|144]]-174 MHz, 146-174 MHz or something like that.'''

''There are several spots in the 150-156 MHz and 157.45-160.2 MHz bands where the 7.5 kHz channel steps are ignored or other band plans seem to have been "dropped in", resulting in odd channel steps and offsets (10 kHz channel steps, 3.75 kHz offset, etc.) This is most evident around 150.775 MHz, 150.7975 MHz, 150.800 MHz, 150.805 MHz, 150.8125 MHz, 150.815 MHz, the 154.4525 MHz, 154.45625 MHz, 154.46375 MHz, 154.47125 MHz, 154.47875 MHz, 154.4825 MHz, 154.490 MHz, 154.4975 MHz, 154.505 MHz, 154.515 MHz, 154.5275 MHz, 154.53375 MHz, 154.540 MHz, 154.5475 MHz, 154.555 MHz, 154.570 MHz, 154.585 MHz, 154.600 MHz, 154.610 MHz, and 154.640 MHz portion, the overlap between the [[VHF_marine|VHF marine band]] starting at 156.000 MHz (public safety allocations continue from 155.9925 MHz in 7.5 kHz steps up through 156.240 MHz, which land mobile allocations overlapping marine channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 60, 61, 62, 63 and 64. Some of these marine channels are available in limited areas - where land mobile allocations in the 156.000 MHz to 156.240 MHz region are prohibited).

==VHF 220 MHz Band 216-222 MHz==

''This portion actually consists of multiple services. The 216-217 MHz Low Power Radio Service ([[LPRS]]), the 217-218 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service, the 218-219 MHz service (which is covered under Part 95 as a Personal Radio Service), the 219-220 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service (shared with [[amateur radio]]) and the 220-222 MHz band covered under Part 90 as a land mobile service. ''

217-218 MHz band / 219-220 MHz band is allocated to the AMTS service on a primary basis. Amateur radio (1.25 meter band) has secondary prilivges on this band. The 217 MHz band may also be used for VHF trunking systems, including land mobile systems, inland from waterways to avoid interference to the marine AMTS system.

217-218 MHz trunking systems use 3.125 kHz offset / 6.25 kHz offset frequencies with 12.5 kHz channel steps. for example 217.63125 MHz, 217.91875 MHz, 217.78125 MHz, 217.70625 MHz, etc. Mobiles transmit 2 MHz higher (repeater inputs in the 219-220 MHz band, for example 219.63125 MHz, 219.91875 MHz, 219.78125 MHz, 219.70625 MHz, etc.). DMR and other digital narrow band modes are used.

47 CFR § 90.259 - Similar propagation characteristics to the VHF high band, used for trunking systems and other purposes nationwide. Standardized channel pairs, band plan and channel numbering per FCC rules. Not all frequencies are available for business users. Some frequencies are only available in certain areas. Paired systems use 1 MHz offset (mobiles transmit 1 MHz higher for repeater input).

5 kHz channels, 5 kHz steps, 2.5 kHz offset. 220.0025 MHz, 220.0075 MHz, 220.0125 MHz, 220.0175 MHz, 220.02225 MHz, up to 221.9925 MHz, 221.9975 MHz.

==UHF Band 406-413 MHz==

Like the 169-172 MHz, use of these frequencies is limited to fixed stations transmitting hydrological or meteorological data. These frequencies are referred to as the "Hydro Channels" and are shared with federal government stations on a secondary basis. The 406.125 MHz and 406.175 MHz frequencies may be paired with 415.125 MHz and 415.175 MHz. Narrowband F1D and F2D [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|emissions]].

==UHF Band 421-430 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''' - specifically in and near Detroit, MI, in and near Cleveland, OH and in and near Buffalo, NY. Frequencies fall within 420-450 MHz 70cm amateur radio allocation. In the areas listed, amateur radio use is not permitted below 430 MHz. The entire 420-450 MHz band is shared nationwide with military users and prohibitions exist in other areas. All operations (including mobiles) are limited to an 80km (50 mile) radius of the center locations as defined in FCC rules 90.273, 90.275, 90.279, 90.281, and 90.619. Public Safety users have additional sub-bands allocated (423.0000 MHz - 424.3875 MHz paired with 428.0000 MHz - 429.3875 MHz). 12.5 kHz channel steps. Repeater inputs +5 MHz split (same as the regular 450-470 MHz UHF band).

'''Detroit and Cleveland'''
*422.2000 MHz - 422.9875 MHz (input frequencies 427.2000 MHz - 427.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*424.4000 MHz - 424.9875 MHz (input frequencies 429.4000 MHz - 429.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

'''Buffalo'''

*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

Like the UHF-T (UHF-TV) band 470-512 MHz, the 421-430 MHz band was allocated to alleviate pressure in large metro areas where frequency congestion is a significant problem. Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are located near large Canadian cities. Frequency coordination with Canada is performed for license authorization in these areas.

==UHF Band 450-470 MHz==

The UHF band follows a standardized repeater pairing system. Mobiles transmit +5 MHz split. For example, a repeater operating on 451.375 MHz has a mobile input of 456.375 MHz. A repeater operating on 464.775 MHz has a mobile input of 469.775 MHz. The input frequencies can, and often are, used for simplex operations as well. 6.25 kHz offsets and 3.125 kHz offsets may be used. The 454 MHz band and 459 MHz band may be used for business purposes under Part 22 paging licenses in urban areas where frequency congestion is a serious issue. Analog FM as well as various digital voice modes and trunking systems may be used (for example, DMR, Motorola TRBO, NXDN trunking, IDAS, DMR Tier 3 trunking, etc). The same +5 MHz offset applies. For example, a mobile transmitting on 459.30625 MHz for a repeater output of 454.30625 MHz.

The 450-470 MHz land mobile systems that use repeaters must use the band plan and the +5 MHz split. Inverting the input and output frequencies is not allowed like it is on the the amateur bands.

462.5375 MHz, 462.7375 MHz, 467.5375 MHz and 467.7375 MHz are the guard band channels between Part 90 and the Part 95 allocations ([[FRS]] and [[GMRS]]. These frequencies may only be used with narrow band digital modes (NDXN or NEXEDGE, IDAS narrow, DMR, etc.). If used as part of a trunking system, 462.5375 MHz and 462.7375 MHz are used as repeater outputs, paired with 467.5375 and 467.7375, respectively. There are reports of these four frequencies being used as simplex frequencies at very large events (radio rentals, etc).

*Group A1 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies. Group A1 frequencies are only available for assignment within an 80 km radius (50 mile radius) of metropolitan areas.

*Group A2 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies.

*Group B - Data and telemetry (including telecommand - remote control) are the primary users of these frequencies. Voice is permitted, but only on a secondary basis to non-voice uses. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Base stations (fixed stations) may be licensed as mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group C - Telemetry / data (non-voice) and voice systems, shared. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group D - Alarm system telemetry, wireless links back to central office control station. 2 watt power limit, antenna at the central alarm control station may be up to 20 feet above ground.

Under [[FCC]] rules Part 90.267, low-power 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz "splint" or "splinter" frequencies in the 450 MHz to 470 MHz band are broken down into different groups:

*'''Group A1''' - low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles''': '''6 watts'''. Only available within 80 km radius (49.7 mile radius) of larger metro areas. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired for repeater purposes. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group A2''' - may be shared with non-voice users (for example, telemetry), low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles: 6 watts'''. Available nationwide. Maximum height for fixed stations is 75 feet above ground. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group B''' - Group B frequencies are available for non-voice operations on a primary basis. Voice operations will be permitted on a secondary basis. Base, mobile or operational fixed stations will be authorized on Group B frequencies. Fixed stations may be licensed as mobile. Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. '''Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts.''' '''Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts.''' ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.'' These frequencies may be used for short-range data links, control systems for clocks, bells or other alarms in schools or on campuses, sprinkler systems at golf courses and numerous other datalink systems.

*'''Group C''' - Group C frequencies are available for voice and non-voice operations on a co-primary basis. Only mobile operations will be authorized on Group C frequencies. Stations may operate at fixed locations for a temporary period of time. '''No stations operating at a permanent fixed location will be authorized on Group C frequencies.''' Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts. Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts. ''Group C low power frequencies are heavily used for simplex portable radios on job sites and for similar purposes. While the frequencies in group A1, A2 and B are also used for on-site voice radio walkie-talkie purposes, Group C is more frequently encountered.
''
*'''Group D''' - Only available for central alarm signaling and [[telemetry]] purposes in urban areas, except in rural areas where coordination is required. Operation on Group D frequencies is limited to 2 watts output power for mobile, base or operational fixed stations. Fixed stations used for central station alarm operations may utilize antennas mounted not more than 7 meters (20 feet) above a man-made supporting structure, including antenna structure.

Except for itinerant operations on Group C, wide area operations will not be authorized. The area of normal day-to-day operations will be described in the application in terms of maximum distance from a geographic center (latitude and longitude).

A hospital or health care institution holding a license to operate a radio station under this part may operate a medical radio telemetry device with an output power not to exceed 20 milliwatts 20mw 0.02 watts without specific authorization from the Commission. All licensees operating under this authority must comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this section. The 6.25 kHz channels have more strict frequency stability and bandwidth limitations compared to the 12.5 kHz channels. The 6.25 kHz channels are generally only used in heavily urbanized areas where frequency congestion and interference are problematic.

Some specialty business users (race frequencies, such as those used by [[Racing_frequencies|NASCAR teams]], other racing users and for on track operations) often use frequencies outside the standard low power frequencies. Due to the temporary and low power characteristics of these types of users, interference is usually not a problem. Individual track facilities have their own on-site radio systems, often including licensed repeaters and use of portable (temporary) itinerant frequencies. Larger events use the 450 MHz / 455 MHz [[Broadcast_auxiliary_remote_station|broadcast]] cue (IFB/STL) frequencies.

Frequencies from the lists below, plus the standard itinerant UHF frequencies 451.8 MHz, 451.8125 MHz, 456.8 MHz, 456.8125 MHz, 464.5 MHz, 464.55 MHz, 469.5 MHz and 469.55 MHz are often used for inter squad radio (intra squad radio) militia prepper squad radio using low power [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Intra-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channels_UHF_16-Channel_Radio_Programming_Plan_Militia_Patriot_Inter-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channel_List|16 channel short range]] low probability of intercept 450-470 MHz handhelds such as the Luiton LT-458, Baofeng BF-888S family, Retevis handhelds including the H777 family and higher quality UHF radios including those by Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, etc.

==UHF-T Band 470-512 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''', and in those areas only certain sections of it are used. 470 MHz to 512 MHz is allocated to UHF TV channels 14-20 - hence the UHF-T or UHF-TV designation. In larger urban areas, channels are "borrowed" and re-assigned to land mobile.

'''The FCC has mandated that users vacate these frequencies in the “near future“ (whatever that means...2020? 2022? 2025?) as part of the transition to Digital Television (DTV) and the general push towards public safety use of the 700 MHz band. The largest users of the 470-512 MHz UHF-T band include massive public safety radio systems in several massive metro areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and numerous others.'''

Like the 450-470 MHz band, UHF-T has a standardized repeater input/mobile transmit and repeater output/simplex split or offset. Instead of 5 MHz, its 3 MHz. For example, a repeater operating on 470.6875 MHz has a mobile input frequency of 473.6875 MHz associated with it. In areas with the band starting at 470.0000 MHz, the first available frequency is 300 kHz up from the edge of the band, 470.3125 MHz.

The original band plan called for 25 kHz steps with 12.5 kHz offset channels. As of 2020, the 470-512 MHz band does not require use of 12.5 kHz channels narrow band modulation (NFM, DMR, NXDN, P25, etc.) emissions. However, many cities where the UHF-T band is used suffer from extreme land mobile radio channel congestion. Therefore, they are forced to use narrow channels (12.5 kHz channels and 6.25 kHz channels) anyway. Note that, as with the 450-470 MHz band, there is distinction between public safety and business users. In the interest of clarity and context, however, the discussion on the UHF-T band will include public safety radio systems.

A good example of this would be the FDNY Fire and EMS dispatch systems on the 482 MHz and 483 MHz band and their associated Motorola Type II trunking and Project 25 trunking systems that operate in the 482 MHz and 483 MHz region with the 6.25 kHz channel step. FDNY's fire dispatch system utilizes a half-duplex "split" frequency setup with base stations (dispatchers) transmitting on the low side and mobiles replying on the +3 MHz input mobile transmit frequency. They are not set up like a traditional repeater, however. FDNY fire dispatch frequencies 482.00625 MHz, 482.01875 MHz, 482.03125 MHz 482.04375 MHz 482.10625 MHz and 482.23125 MHz transmit narrow FM (12.5 kHz bandwidth) on the 6.25 kHz channels. The same is true for the FDNY EMS dispatch system, however the EMS dispatch system operates as a traditional simulcast repeater system.

In some areas, all public safety and a large amount of business radio operates in the 470-512 MHz T-band or TV-band. These cities (and their associated metropolitan areas) include: Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Cleveland, OH, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, Detroit, MI, Houston, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, New York, NY/N.E. New Jersey, Philadelphia, PA, San Francisco/Oakland, CA and the Washington-Baltimore metro area.

==800 MHz/900 MHz band 809-940 MHz==
Most of the systems the 800 MHz and 900 MHz land mobile bands are trunked radio systems. It is important to note that the 806-824 MHz and 851-869 MHz bands are shared with public safety systems.

Some on-site business systems use the 900 MHz band, including the Motorola DTR 900 MHz FHSS frequency hopping spread spectrum handheld radios, which operate 1 watt transmit power on the 902-928 MHz [[ISM]] and [[Part 15]] band using [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|frequency hopping digital voice]].

Current examples include the [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|Motorola DTR410, DTR550, DTR650, DTR600 and DTR700 radios. These radios operate with 50 kHz channel spacing and 8-level FSK digital FHSS]] 902-928 MHz band (channels start at 902.525 MHz and continue to 927.475 MHz, 525 kHz from band edges for a total of 500 available channels at 50 kHz channel spacing), in compliance with Part 15 of the FCC rules - specifically [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|47 CFR 15.247]].

A full listing of the Motorola 900MHz FHSS digital on-site license free business radios frequency hop set frequencies list is available [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|here]]. Basically, starting at 902.525 MHz, every 50 kHz up to 927.475 MHz, is one of the frequencies used by the Motorola FHSS 900 MHz “ISM band” license-free on site digital business radios.

The DTR 900 MHz digital business radios offer performance comparable with UHF walkie-talkies as far as in-building coverage goes.

The 902-928 MHz band is shared with numerous other services and devices, including [[Cordless_telephone#United_States|analog and digital cordless phones]], UAV or drone [[Remote_Control#900_MHz_RC_Frequencies|radio control]], other remote control/[[Remote_Control#United_States|radio control]] systems and backhaul telemetry links, analog and digital video senders, point to point audio links, ISM services, [[Wi-Fi#900_MHz_.28802.11ah.29|900 MHz WiFi]] or 802.11ah [[Wi-Fi]] and various other telemetry and data networks and services.

''Can businesses use FRS radios? Yes [[FRS#FRS_Frequently_Asked_Questions_FRS_FAQ|they can under Part 95]] of the FCC rules. '''Only the 5 MURS frequencies and the 22 FRS frequencies may be used without a license''', however.''

Often heard at construction sites, special events, shopping malls, stores, gas stations, etc. There is also movement in the hunting community away from CB/11 meter and VHF marine towards licensed Part 90 land mobile/business radio systems.

See [[Hunt_Club_Frequencies|hunt club radio frequencies]] and American militia tactical VHF/UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Radio_Programming_Plan_-_Handheld_Radios|tactical frequencies and channel plans for VHF/UHF and UHF radios - Baofeng, etc.]] as well as UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#UHF_Only_16-Channel_Intra-Squad_Radio_Inter-Squad_Radio_ISR|intra squad radio (or inter-squad radio, or ISR) intra-squad radio frequency plans]].

These frequencies are often supplemented with heavy use of [[FRS]] frequencies. Use of all 22 FRS frequencies is permitted by businesses under the FCC rules.

Note the Motorola, Kenwood, Vertex, Baofeng, etc. on-site business radio [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Retevis_Blackbox_Radios_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|default factory codes channels frequencies settings and available frequencies in a separate section below]] - these are not FRS/GMRS frequencies. Motorola FRS and GMRS radios use the standard 14 or 22 FRS channels.

All Part 90 frequencies above 150 MHz must operate in narrow band mode or use digital voice modes that meet the FCC narrowbanding requirement.

*Narrow band FM voice emissions include 11K2F3E (sometimes listed on licenses as 11K3F3E or 11K0F3E), 10K5F3E, 10K0F3E, 9K20F3E, 9K10F3E 8K50F3E, 8K00F3E, and 6K00F3E.
*Narrow FM voice/data (11K3F3E, 11K2F3E, 11K0F3E, 9K20F3E, 11K3F3D, 11K3F2D, 11K3F1D, 11K2F9W, etc.), DMR (7K60FXE, 7K60FXW, 7K60F7W, etc), IDAS or NXDN NEXEDGE (4K00F1E, 8K30F1E, 8K30F7W, etc.) and Project 25 P25 (8K10F1E) are the most common.

Do I need a license to transmit on 151.625 MHz? Yes, you do. You need a license to use all the business band frequencies, including 151.625 MHz, 151.505 MHz, 158.400 MHz, 151.955 MHz, 151.700 MHz, 151.760 MHz, 464.550 MHz, 464.500 MHz, 467.925 MHz, 467.875 MHz, 467.900 MHz, etc. '''Only the 22 FRS frequencies, the 5 MURS frequencies and the 40 CB channels do not require a license.''' ''Getting a business license for the Itinerant channels is extremely easy. ''

Most of the transmissions you'll hear on these frequencies are from portable handheld radios - walkie-talkies, but sometimes high powered mobile radios or even portable repeaters are heard. Portable or temporary repeater output frequencies may be any of the VHF low or VHF high frequencies. On the UHF band, input frequency is 5 MHz above output frequency. In many situations all frequencies are used for simplex only. The 457 MHz, 462 MHz and 467 MHz frequencies are simplex use only and are often used for on-site communications using portable handheld radios. Several of the itinerant frequencies may be used as repeater output channels, repeater input channels or for simplex/talk-around purposes. Examples include the 464.500 MHz, 464.550 MHz and 469.500 MHz, 469.550 MHz frequencies. 464.550 MHz may be used as a repeater output (paired with 469.550 MHz) or both frequencies may be used for simplex purposes. The 457/467 MHz frequencies are also used by shipboard and dockside repeaters or simplex systems aboard ship (10 MHz offset or 10.225 MHz offset). The itinerant frequencies in the VHF bands do not have a set pairing or offset like the UHF bands do.

The default channels / frequencies for most job site / contractor / construction site crews will vary. Many crews use [[FRS]], [[MURS]] or [[CB]] for on-site communications, especially if multiple contractors and subcontractors are working together on a large site. The default out of the box factory UHF channels are also often heavily used.

See the factory portable radio frequencies and available frequencies listed in the [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|section]] below.

This is a dynamic list and is a work in progress. '''It will never be complete or completely accurate due to regional and local variation.''' It is an attempt to consolidate multiple databases and lists currently residing in various parts of the Internet. Like most of these lists, this will never be complete or 100% accurate. Businesses will often simply buy radios and use them without bothering with licensing or frequency coordination. Use of the license-free [[FRS]] and [[MURS]] frequencies is also very widespread. Individual stores may change frequencies and/or [[FRS#FRS_CTCSS_and_DCS_Subchannel_Code_Tone_.22Privacy_Code.22_Listing|CTCSS / PL or DCS / DPL tones or codes]] - tone/codes, especially in [[Business_Radio#Commonly_Heard_CTCSS_and_DCS_Tones_Codes_For_Popular_UHF_VHF_Business_Itinerant_Frequencies|areas where multiple groups are using the same frequency]] - to meet their specific needs, even if this means deviating from a nationwide or regional chain channel plan.

Costco stores are (allegedly) in the process of upgrading from the VHF to UHF, especially when interference from other stores using the popular VHF frequencies (including 154.570 MHz and 154.600 MHz) is an issue. However, Costco retains extensive VHF systems and numerous licenses with dozens of VHF frequencies authorized in hundreds of locations.

Most stores use 154.570 MHz and 154.600 MHz as their primary frequencies with CSQ. In areas where interference is an issue, stores will use one of the other MURS frequencies and/or CTCSS or DCS tones/codes as appropriate.

Sam's Club appears to use CTCSS or DCS more often than Wal-Mart, with 131 DPL / 131 DCS as well as 74.4 Hz PL noted. Carrier squelch appears to be the norm unless there's a compelling reason (repeated issues with interference from other MURS users) to use CTCSS or DCS (tone squelch PL or DPL).

R4002: /* VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz */

Business Band Radio - '''this article deals exclusively with [[Land Mobile Radio|land mobile radio]] (LMR) or professional mobile radio systems (PMR, PLMR) in the United States.''' See the [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF and UHF Radio Services page]] for pages dealing with radio systems and allocations in other countries.

Officially called the "Industrial/Business Radio Pool" under 47 CFR 90.35.. within part 90 of the FCC rules (which covers land mobile radio in general - including public safety services). Known as '''LMR''' (land mobile radio), ''PMR'' (professional mobile radio) or '''PLMR''' (professional land mobile radio) as well as just the '''[[Business Band]]'''.

[[11_meter|High HF]] and [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] Land mobile radio service authorized under Part 90 (Land Mobile Radio Services) of the [[FCC]] rules. FCC eligibility verbiage states: Persons primarily engaged in any of the following activities are eligible to hold authorizations in the Industrial/Business Pool to provide commercial mobile radio service as defined in part 20 of this chapter or to operate stations for transmission of communications necessary to such activities of the licensee: (1) The operation commercial of business activity; (2) The operation of educational, philanthropic, or ecclesiastical institutions; (3) Clergy activities; or (4) The operation of hospitals, clinics, or medical associations.

Business Radio is not to be confused with license free or simple license services available for land mobile and portable or walkie-talkie radio purposes in the United States. These [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services include [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] and [[CB]]. FRS, MURS and CB are all heavily used as a low cost alternative to the hassle of business band.

==Below 25 MHz (2000 kHz - 25000 kHz)==
2 MHz - 25 MHz, below 25000 kHz below 25 MHz. The FCC considers industrial/business allocations above 25.0 MHz to be intended exclusively for local communications. For the purposes of land mobile, 2-25 MHz is considered "HF".

Specific frequencies:

*2292 kHz 2.292 MHz - fixed or mobile
*2398 kHz 2.398 MHz - fixed or mobile
*4637.5 kHz 4.6375 MHz - fixed or mobile
*5167.5 kHz 5.1675 MHz - Alaska Emergency frequency (dial frequency in USB mode)

*2000 kHz - 25,000 kHz - businesses may apply for frequencies in the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed/mobile bands]] between 2-25 MHz for base/mobile/fixed purposes, however, use of frequencies between 2 MHz and 25 MHz is limited to backup systems, emergency communications circuits, remote areas where VHF/UHF services would not provide the coverage or range required. Examples include geophysical exploration, telecommunications repair systems or backup systems used by telecom companies in emergencies, and other specialized purposes. Many of these licensed have been depreciated in favor of UHF/SHF SATCOM or satphone based systems.

==VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz==

The 25 MHz, 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are shared with numerous other services worldwide, including the HF SSB [[HF_marine#MF_SSB_and_HF_SSB_marine_bands|marine mobile]] service.

''Removed 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz from list..there are no active, canceled or expired licenses for any of those frequencies. Yes, they are technically assignable, but due to the fact that no legal users are on these frequencies, they’re included under the [[11 meter]] freeband CB list. 27.555MHz, 27.615MHz, 27.635MHz, 27.655MHz, 27.765MHz and 27.860MHz are some of the more popular illegal out of band [[CB]] frequencies.

What are the VHF low band channels frequencies? What frequency is 30MHz? What is 27 MHz? 49MHz range 27MHz band

Frequencies below 150 MHz may continue to use 20K0F3E or 16K0F3E "wideband" FM mode (also known as 25 kHz bandwidth or 20 kHz bandwidth). In the land mobile / business radio industry the term is often “25 kHz channels” or “25 kHz bandwidth”. VHF low band is not subject to the 2013 FCC narrowband mandate. However, narrowband FM may be used on low band. Some licenses will be authorized for 11K0F3E, 16K0F3E and 20K0F3E emissions.

The 25 MHz band (25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz), 27 MHz (27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz) and 29 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz) do actually have licensed business use as of 2020. The 25 MHz frequencies used for oil spill response as well as other land mobile purposes. The 25 MHz frequencies have frequency-specific regulations, including the permissive use of FSK tone signalling, impulse transmission for datalink or other purposes, with a maximum FSK datalink or signalling power output of 50 watts and a maximum of 3 minute bursts. These are allowed on a primary basis on 25.02 MHz, 25.06 MHz, 25.10 MHz and 25.18 MHz and on a secondary basis 25.14 MHz, 25.22 MHz, 25.26 MHz and 25.3 MHz.

The 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are also used for land mobile and offshore ship-to-ship communications. These bands are shared with military/government allocations as well as the fixed/mobile bands and numerous [[HF_pagers|other]] services in other [[Community_Audio_Distribution_Service|countries]].

While the FCC regulations do ''technically'' allow for business licenses on 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz in certain rural areas for forestry and logging communications (maximum power 150 watts), there are no active, expired or canceled licenses for any of these frequencies per the FCC database.
The 27.41 MHz to 28.0 MHz [[CB#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_and_Bands|band]] is still used by military and government stations, but the majority of signals heard there are from unlicensed [[CB]] freebanders or [[CB#CB_Frequencies.2C_freebanding_and_freeband_.22channeling.22|outbanders]].

The 27.54 MHz - 28 MHz band is shared with military/government users per NTIA regulations.

'''Any frequency between 30 MHz and 88 MHz may be used by the military (25 kHz steps)''' and there are various sub-bands allocated to exclusive government used by the NITA that fall within 29.8 MHz - 49.9 MHz (30-50 MHz).

The military and government have exclusive allocations for the 25.33 MHz to 25.55 MHz, 26.48 MHz to 26.95 MHz, 27.54 MHz to 28 MHz, 29.89 MHz to 29.91 MHz, 30 MHz to 30.56 MHz, 32 MHz to 33 MHz, 34 MHz to 35 MHz, 36 MHz to 37 MHz, 38.25 MHz to 39 MHz, 40 MHz to 42., [[Part_15#15.233_Operation_within_the_bands_43.71-44.49_MHz.2C_46.60-46.98_MHz.2C_48.75-49.51_MHz_and_49.66-50.0_MHz.|46.6 MHz to 47.]] MHz and [[Part_15#15.235_Operation_within_the_band_49.82-49.90_MHz.|49.6 MHz to 50 MHz]] bands.

FM voice bandwidth 25 kHz permitted under FCC regulations. [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|Emission designators]] 20K0F3E and 16K0F3E are common for FM voice, 20K0F3D and 16K0F3D for DTMF and other tone-modulated signaling, alerting systems and 20K0F2D, 19K0F2D, 16K0F2D, 20K0F1D, 19K0F1D, 16K0F1D, 16K0G2D, etc. [[telemetry]] are also commonly found. The 25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|band]], 27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|band]] and 29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz [[Fishnet_beacon|band]] are shared with marine mobile, the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service, mobile service]], land mobile, CB radio [[CB#UK_CB_.2227.2F81.22_Frequencies|bands]] and [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|27 MHz]] marine radio, [[CB#South_Africa_.2829_MHz_CB.29|29 MHz]] CB and marine services or [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|fishery radio]] services (in other countries), paging systems, [[HF_pagers|telemetry]] (fixed/mobile) systems. The 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz band (25 kHz steps, or in some implementations, 12.5 kHz steps, FM or NFM) is used throughout Asia for fishery radio communications, ship to ship and ship to shore. [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|This service was originally designed in China but has spread throughout Asia. Usually referred to as "FM Fishery Radiotelephone" or "Dedicated Fishing Boat Radio-telephone" The 25 kHz step (480 channel) version is the most commonly used.]] No CTCSS or DCS tone squelch or coded squelch is uses on the "Dedicated Fishery Radio" or "Asian Fishery Radio" service. In other words, it is carrier squelch (CSQ) only. Due to the significant overlap (up to the 39 MHz band) that this service has with VHF low band, it is worthy of mentioning here.

The 30-50 MHz VHF low band business bands may be (and frequently are) used within the United States by the US military for [[SINCGARS#VHF_Tactical_FM_Land_Mobile_Air-Ground_Military_Communications| various purposes]] - non frequency hopping uses include: range control, aircraft advisory and [[VHF_airband|secondary]] air traffic control purposes, air-to-air and air-to-ground communications, land mobile (tactical comms) - both in frequency hopping (FH) and single channel (SC) mode. The US military have [[SINCGARS#Federal_Government_and_Military_Only_Bands_30-50_MHz|their own sub-bands within VHF low band where they are the primary authorized user]]. However, NTIA and FCC regulations permit use of any frequency between 30.000 MHz and 87.975 MHz (25 kHz channel spacing) [[SINCGARS#NTIA_Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations|on a non-interference basis]]. As long as they're not interfering with the primary licensed user for a given area, they may (and do) use frequencies within the VHF low band business bands and the VHF low band public safety bands. ''The military use wider than normal FM deviation and a non-standard 150.0 Hz tone squelch. Most scanners, receivers, SDRs, etc. will decode 150 Hz as 151.4 Hz. ''

==VHF Mid Band 72-76 MHz==

Special purpose use only. See section 90.205 (power limits), 90.257 and 90.241. The 72-76 MHz band is shared with [[Remote_Control|72/75 MHz remote control frequencies under Part 95]], operational fixed stations in the maritime mobile service (marine radio service). It is also shared with very low power assisted listening audio transmitter [[Part 15]] systems operating in the 72.0 MHz - 73.0 MHz, 74.6 MHz - 74.8 MHz and 75.2 MHz - 76.0 MHz bands per 47 CFR [[Part_15#15.237_-_Operation_in_the_bands_72.0-73.0_MHz.2C_74.6-74.8_MHz_and_75.2-76.0_MHz.|15.237]].

The band 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz is exclusively allocated to the [[VHF_airband|aeronautical]] [[VOR|radio navigation]] [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]] for [[ILS]] marker beacons operating on 75 MHz. 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz operates as a guard band for the 75.0 MHz marker beacons (part of the [[ILS]] system).

Part FCC Part 90.35, 72-76 MHz is not used for traditional land mobile purposes like the other bands are. 20K0F3D, 20K0F2D, 20K0F1D emissions are commonly found for fixed [[telemetry]] links. 20K0F3E regular 25 kHz FM voice emission is found for operational fixed links using voice and/or mixed voice/data. 1 watt power limit for "fixed stations". Note that fixed, base and mobile stations are all licensed as "mobile" stations even if they are fixed stations. Actual fixed stations are limited to 300 watts ERP.

This frequency is shared with the Radio Control (R/C) Service, of the part 95 Personal Radio Services, where it is used solely for the radio control of models.

Note that in most of the world, VHF mid band is 66-88 MHz. It is used for land mobile, plus the [[OIRT]] FM broadcast band, the 4 meter (70 MHz) [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|amateur radio band]], [[78_MHz_VHF_CB|78 MHz VHF CB]] (Thailand), [[RHA68]] 67 MHz - 72 MHz license free [[CB]]-like service in Finland, and the [[69_MHz_VHF_CB|69 MHz CB service]] in Sweden.

Used for point-to-point links (voice and data), call boxes, telemetry, [[POCSAG|paging]] system [[HF_pagers|links]], industrial control purposes, radio clock control, etc. The California Highway Patrol CHP [[VHF / UHF Radio|hybrid VHF/UHF/700 MHz]] system uses 72 MHz and 75 MHz, as well as microwave systems, to link remote receiver sites for its VHF low band statewide land mobile network. Several other systems in various places nationwide operate similar systems using the mid band for linking remote sites and providing back-haul audio link capability. The 72 MHz frequencies are also heavily used for low power point-to-point data links, for example controlling a GPS-based clock system. These systems generally transmit in the 2-10 watt range and cover schools, college campuses, manufacturing sites, etc. The 74 MHz and 75 MHz frequencies may be used for industrial process control, telemetry and other specialized uses. Public safety users utilize these frequencies for back-haul purposes as described above as well as to control tornado sirens, for roadside emergency call boxes or other specialized purposes.

==VHF High Band 150-174 MHz==

'''This band is usually the band what is referred to simply as "VHF". Many radios call this band 136-174 MHz, [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|144]]-174 MHz, 146-174 MHz or something like that.'''

''There are several spots in the 150-156 MHz and 157.45-160.2 MHz bands where the 7.5 kHz channel steps are ignored or other band plans seem to have been "dropped in", resulting in odd channel steps and offsets (10 kHz channel steps, 3.75 kHz offset, etc.) This is most evident around 150.775 MHz, 150.7975 MHz, 150.800 MHz, 150.805 MHz, 150.8125 MHz, 150.815 MHz, the 154.4525 MHz, 154.45625 MHz, 154.46375 MHz, 154.47125 MHz, 154.47875 MHz, 154.4825 MHz, 154.490 MHz, 154.4975 MHz, 154.505 MHz, 154.515 MHz, 154.5275 MHz, 154.53375 MHz, 154.540 MHz, 154.5475 MHz, 154.555 MHz, 154.570 MHz, 154.585 MHz, 154.600 MHz, 154.610 MHz, and 154.640 MHz portion, the overlap between the [[VHF_marine|VHF marine band]] starting at 156.000 MHz (public safety allocations continue from 155.9925 MHz in 7.5 kHz steps up through 156.240 MHz, which land mobile allocations overlapping marine channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 60, 61, 62, 63 and 64. Some of these marine channels are available in limited areas - where land mobile allocations in the 156.000 MHz to 156.240 MHz region are prohibited).

==VHF 220 MHz Band 216-222 MHz==

''This portion actually consists of multiple services. The 216-217 MHz Low Power Radio Service ([[LPRS]]), the 217-218 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service, the 218-219 MHz service (which is covered under Part 95 as a Personal Radio Service), the 219-220 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service (shared with [[amateur radio]]) and the 220-222 MHz band covered under Part 90 as a land mobile service. ''

217-218 MHz band / 219-220 MHz band is allocated to the AMTS service on a primary basis. Amateur radio (1.25 meter band) has secondary prilivges on this band. The 217 MHz band may also be used for VHF trunking systems, including land mobile systems, inland from waterways to avoid interference to the marine AMTS system.

217-218 MHz trunking systems use 3.125 kHz offset / 6.25 kHz offset frequencies with 12.5 kHz channel steps. for example 217.63125 MHz, 217.91875 MHz, 217.78125 MHz, 217.70625 MHz, etc. Mobiles transmit 2 MHz higher (repeater inputs in the 219-220 MHz band, for example 219.63125 MHz, 219.91875 MHz, 219.78125 MHz, 219.70625 MHz, etc.). DMR and other digital narrow band modes are used.

47 CFR § 90.259 - Similar propagation characteristics to the VHF high band, used for trunking systems and other purposes nationwide. Standardized channel pairs, band plan and channel numbering per FCC rules. Not all frequencies are available for business users. Some frequencies are only available in certain areas. Paired systems use 1 MHz offset (mobiles transmit 1 MHz higher for repeater input).

5 kHz channels, 5 kHz steps, 2.5 kHz offset. 220.0025 MHz, 220.0075 MHz, 220.0125 MHz, 220.0175 MHz, 220.02225 MHz, up to 221.9925 MHz, 221.9975 MHz.

==UHF Band 406-413 MHz==

Like the 169-172 MHz, use of these frequencies is limited to fixed stations transmitting hydrological or meteorological data. These frequencies are referred to as the "Hydro Channels" and are shared with federal government stations on a secondary basis. The 406.125 MHz and 406.175 MHz frequencies may be paired with 415.125 MHz and 415.175 MHz. Narrowband F1D and F2D [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|emissions]].

==UHF Band 421-430 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''' - specifically in and near Detroit, MI, in and near Cleveland, OH and in and near Buffalo, NY. Frequencies fall within 420-450 MHz 70cm amateur radio allocation. In the areas listed, amateur radio use is not permitted below 430 MHz. The entire 420-450 MHz band is shared nationwide with military users and prohibitions exist in other areas. All operations (including mobiles) are limited to an 80km (50 mile) radius of the center locations as defined in FCC rules 90.273, 90.275, 90.279, 90.281, and 90.619. Public Safety users have additional sub-bands allocated (423.0000 MHz - 424.3875 MHz paired with 428.0000 MHz - 429.3875 MHz). 12.5 kHz channel steps. Repeater inputs +5 MHz split (same as the regular 450-470 MHz UHF band).

'''Detroit and Cleveland'''
*422.2000 MHz - 422.9875 MHz (input frequencies 427.2000 MHz - 427.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*424.4000 MHz - 424.9875 MHz (input frequencies 429.4000 MHz - 429.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

'''Buffalo'''
*424.4000 MHz - 424.9875 MHz (input frequencies 429.4000 MHz - 429.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

Like the UHF-T (UHF-TV) band 470-512 MHz, the 421-430 MHz band was allocated to alleviate pressure in large metro areas where frequency congestion is a significant problem. Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are located near large Canadian cities. Frequency coordination with Canada is performed for license authorization in these areas.

==UHF Band 450-470 MHz==

The UHF band follows a standardized repeater pairing system. Mobiles transmit +5 MHz split. For example, a repeater operating on 451.375 MHz has a mobile input of 456.375 MHz. A repeater operating on 464.775 MHz has a mobile input of 469.775 MHz. The input frequencies can, and often are, used for simplex operations as well. 6.25 kHz offsets and 3.125 kHz offsets may be used. The 454 MHz band and 459 MHz band may be used for business purposes under Part 22 paging licenses in urban areas where frequency congestion is a serious issue. Analog FM as well as various digital voice modes and trunking systems may be used (for example, DMR, Motorola TRBO, NXDN trunking, IDAS, DMR Tier 3 trunking, etc). The same +5 MHz offset applies. For example, a mobile transmitting on 459.30625 MHz for a repeater output of 454.30625 MHz.

The 450-470 MHz land mobile systems that use repeaters must use the band plan and the +5 MHz split. Inverting the input and output frequencies is not allowed like it is on the the amateur bands.

462.5375 MHz, 462.7375 MHz, 467.5375 MHz and 467.7375 MHz are the guard band channels between Part 90 and the Part 95 allocations ([[FRS]] and [[GMRS]]. These frequencies may only be used with narrow band digital modes (NDXN or NEXEDGE, IDAS narrow, DMR, etc.). If used as part of a trunking system, 462.5375 MHz and 462.7375 MHz are used as repeater outputs, paired with 467.5375 and 467.7375, respectively. There are reports of these four frequencies being used as simplex frequencies at very large events (radio rentals, etc).

*Group A1 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies. Group A1 frequencies are only available for assignment within an 80 km radius (50 mile radius) of metropolitan areas.

*Group A2 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies.

*Group B - Data and telemetry (including telecommand - remote control) are the primary users of these frequencies. Voice is permitted, but only on a secondary basis to non-voice uses. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Base stations (fixed stations) may be licensed as mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group C - Telemetry / data (non-voice) and voice systems, shared. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group D - Alarm system telemetry, wireless links back to central office control station. 2 watt power limit, antenna at the central alarm control station may be up to 20 feet above ground.

Under [[FCC]] rules Part 90.267, low-power 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz "splint" or "splinter" frequencies in the 450 MHz to 470 MHz band are broken down into different groups:

*'''Group A1''' - low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles''': '''6 watts'''. Only available within 80 km radius (49.7 mile radius) of larger metro areas. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired for repeater purposes. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group A2''' - may be shared with non-voice users (for example, telemetry), low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles: 6 watts'''. Available nationwide. Maximum height for fixed stations is 75 feet above ground. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group B''' - Group B frequencies are available for non-voice operations on a primary basis. Voice operations will be permitted on a secondary basis. Base, mobile or operational fixed stations will be authorized on Group B frequencies. Fixed stations may be licensed as mobile. Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. '''Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts.''' '''Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts.''' ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.'' These frequencies may be used for short-range data links, control systems for clocks, bells or other alarms in schools or on campuses, sprinkler systems at golf courses and numerous other datalink systems.

*'''Group C''' - Group C frequencies are available for voice and non-voice operations on a co-primary basis. Only mobile operations will be authorized on Group C frequencies. Stations may operate at fixed locations for a temporary period of time. '''No stations operating at a permanent fixed location will be authorized on Group C frequencies.''' Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts. Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts. ''Group C low power frequencies are heavily used for simplex portable radios on job sites and for similar purposes. While the frequencies in group A1, A2 and B are also used for on-site voice radio walkie-talkie purposes, Group C is more frequently encountered.
''
*'''Group D''' - Only available for central alarm signaling and [[telemetry]] purposes in urban areas, except in rural areas where coordination is required. Operation on Group D frequencies is limited to 2 watts output power for mobile, base or operational fixed stations. Fixed stations used for central station alarm operations may utilize antennas mounted not more than 7 meters (20 feet) above a man-made supporting structure, including antenna structure.

Except for itinerant operations on Group C, wide area operations will not be authorized. The area of normal day-to-day operations will be described in the application in terms of maximum distance from a geographic center (latitude and longitude).

A hospital or health care institution holding a license to operate a radio station under this part may operate a medical radio telemetry device with an output power not to exceed 20 milliwatts 20mw 0.02 watts without specific authorization from the Commission. All licensees operating under this authority must comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this section. The 6.25 kHz channels have more strict frequency stability and bandwidth limitations compared to the 12.5 kHz channels. The 6.25 kHz channels are generally only used in heavily urbanized areas where frequency congestion and interference are problematic.

Some specialty business users (race frequencies, such as those used by [[Racing_frequencies|NASCAR teams]], other racing users and for on track operations) often use frequencies outside the standard low power frequencies. Due to the temporary and low power characteristics of these types of users, interference is usually not a problem. Individual track facilities have their own on-site radio systems, often including licensed repeaters and use of portable (temporary) itinerant frequencies. Larger events use the 450 MHz / 455 MHz [[Broadcast_auxiliary_remote_station|broadcast]] cue (IFB/STL) frequencies.

Frequencies from the lists below, plus the standard itinerant UHF frequencies 451.8 MHz, 451.8125 MHz, 456.8 MHz, 456.8125 MHz, 464.5 MHz, 464.55 MHz, 469.5 MHz and 469.55 MHz are often used for inter squad radio (intra squad radio) militia prepper squad radio using low power [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Intra-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channels_UHF_16-Channel_Radio_Programming_Plan_Militia_Patriot_Inter-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channel_List|16 channel short range]] low probability of intercept 450-470 MHz handhelds such as the Luiton LT-458, Baofeng BF-888S family, Retevis handhelds including the H777 family and higher quality UHF radios including those by Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, etc.

==UHF-T Band 470-512 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''', and in those areas only certain sections of it are used. 470 MHz to 512 MHz is allocated to UHF TV channels 14-20 - hence the UHF-T or UHF-TV designation. In larger urban areas, channels are "borrowed" and re-assigned to land mobile.

'''The FCC has mandated that users vacate these frequencies in the “near future“ (whatever that means...2020? 2022? 2025?) as part of the transition to Digital Television (DTV) and the general push towards public safety use of the 700 MHz band. The largest users of the 470-512 MHz UHF-T band include massive public safety radio systems in several massive metro areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and numerous others.'''

Like the 450-470 MHz band, UHF-T has a standardized repeater input/mobile transmit and repeater output/simplex split or offset. Instead of 5 MHz, its 3 MHz. For example, a repeater operating on 470.6875 MHz has a mobile input frequency of 473.6875 MHz associated with it. In areas with the band starting at 470.0000 MHz, the first available frequency is 300 kHz up from the edge of the band, 470.3125 MHz.

The original band plan called for 25 kHz steps with 12.5 kHz offset channels. As of 2020, the 470-512 MHz band does not require use of 12.5 kHz channels narrow band modulation (NFM, DMR, NXDN, P25, etc.) emissions. However, many cities where the UHF-T band is used suffer from extreme land mobile radio channel congestion. Therefore, they are forced to use narrow channels (12.5 kHz channels and 6.25 kHz channels) anyway. Note that, as with the 450-470 MHz band, there is distinction between public safety and business users. In the interest of clarity and context, however, the discussion on the UHF-T band will include public safety radio systems.

A good example of this would be the FDNY Fire and EMS dispatch systems on the 482 MHz and 483 MHz band and their associated Motorola Type II trunking and Project 25 trunking systems that operate in the 482 MHz and 483 MHz region with the 6.25 kHz channel step. FDNY's fire dispatch system utilizes a half-duplex "split" frequency setup with base stations (dispatchers) transmitting on the low side and mobiles replying on the +3 MHz input mobile transmit frequency. They are not set up like a traditional repeater, however. FDNY fire dispatch frequencies 482.00625 MHz, 482.01875 MHz, 482.03125 MHz 482.04375 MHz 482.10625 MHz and 482.23125 MHz transmit narrow FM (12.5 kHz bandwidth) on the 6.25 kHz channels. The same is true for the FDNY EMS dispatch system, however the EMS dispatch system operates as a traditional simulcast repeater system.

In some areas, all public safety and a large amount of business radio operates in the 470-512 MHz T-band or TV-band. These cities (and their associated metropolitan areas) include: Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Cleveland, OH, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, Detroit, MI, Houston, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, New York, NY/N.E. New Jersey, Philadelphia, PA, San Francisco/Oakland, CA and the Washington-Baltimore metro area.

==800 MHz/900 MHz band 809-940 MHz==
Most of the systems the 800 MHz and 900 MHz land mobile bands are trunked radio systems. It is important to note that the 806-824 MHz and 851-869 MHz bands are shared with public safety systems.

Some on-site business systems use the 900 MHz band, including the Motorola DTR 900 MHz FHSS frequency hopping spread spectrum handheld radios, which operate 1 watt transmit power on the 902-928 MHz [[ISM]] and [[Part 15]] band using [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|frequency hopping digital voice]].

Current examples include the [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|Motorola DTR410, DTR550, DTR650, DTR600 and DTR700 radios. These radios operate with 50 kHz channel spacing and 8-level FSK digital FHSS]] 902-928 MHz band (channels start at 902.525 MHz and continue to 927.475 MHz, 525 kHz from band edges for a total of 500 available channels at 50 kHz channel spacing), in compliance with Part 15 of the FCC rules - specifically [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|47 CFR 15.247]].

A full listing of the Motorola 900MHz FHSS digital on-site license free business radios frequency hop set frequencies list is available [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|here]]. Basically, starting at 902.525 MHz, every 50 kHz up to 927.475 MHz, is one of the frequencies used by the Motorola FHSS 900 MHz “ISM band” license-free on site digital business radios.

The DTR 900 MHz digital business radios offer performance comparable with UHF walkie-talkies as far as in-building coverage goes.

The 902-928 MHz band is shared with numerous other services and devices, including [[Cordless_telephone#United_States|analog and digital cordless phones]], UAV or drone [[Remote_Control#900_MHz_RC_Frequencies|radio control]], other remote control/[[Remote_Control#United_States|radio control]] systems and backhaul telemetry links, analog and digital video senders, point to point audio links, ISM services, [[Wi-Fi#900_MHz_.28802.11ah.29|900 MHz WiFi]] or 802.11ah [[Wi-Fi]] and various other telemetry and data networks and services.

See [[Hunt_Club_Frequencies|hunt club radio frequencies]] and American militia tactical VHF/UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Radio_Programming_Plan_-_Handheld_Radios|tactical frequencies and channel plans for VHF/UHF and UHF radios - Baofeng, etc.]] as well as UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#UHF_Only_16-Channel_Intra-Squad_Radio_Inter-Squad_Radio_ISR|intra squad radio (or inter-squad radio, or ISR) intra-squad radio frequency plans]].

These frequencies are often supplemented with heavy use of [[FRS]] frequencies. Use of all 22 FRS frequencies is permitted by businesses under the FCC rules.

Note the Motorola, Kenwood, Vertex, Baofeng, etc. on-site business radio [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Retevis_Blackbox_Radios_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|default factory codes channels frequencies settings and available frequencies in a separate section below]] - these are not FRS/GMRS frequencies. Motorola FRS and GMRS radios use the standard 14 or 22 FRS channels.

All Part 90 frequencies above 150 MHz must operate in narrow band mode or use digital voice modes that meet the FCC narrowbanding requirement.

*Narrow band FM voice emissions include 11K2F3E (sometimes listed on licenses as 11K3F3E or 11K0F3E), 10K5F3E, 10K0F3E, 9K20F3E, 9K10F3E 8K50F3E, 8K00F3E, and 6K00F3E.
*Narrow FM voice/data (11K3F3E, 11K2F3E, 11K0F3E, 9K20F3E, 11K3F3D, 11K3F2D, 11K3F1D, 11K2F9W, etc.), DMR (7K60FXE, 7K60FXW, 7K60F7W, etc), IDAS or NXDN NEXEDGE (4K00F1E, 8K30F1E, 8K30F7W, etc.) and Project 25 P25 (8K10F1E) are the most common.

==Common Itinerant and Low Power Business Frequencies - Official Itinerant Business Frequencies List==

'''This is the official list.'''

Unless otherwise specified, all itinerant frequencies are simplex only. Some frequencies may be used as part of a portable repeater or temporary repeater (station class FB2I), however, those frequencies may also be used for simplex operations. See the unofficial list for [[Business_Radio#Common_Itinerant_and_Low_Power_Business_Frequencies_-_Low_Power.2C_.22de_facto_itinerant.22_and_Itinerant_Frequencies_List_-_VHF_Low_Band|lowband VHF]], the regular [[Business_Radio#Common_Itinerant_and_Low_Power_Business_Frequencies_-_Low_Power.2C_.22de_facto_itinerant.22_and_Itinerant_Frequencies_List_-_VHF_High_Band|VHF]] band or VHF high band and [[Business_Radio#Common_Itinerant_and_Low_Power_Business_Frequencies_-_Low_Power.2C_.22de_facto_itinerant.22_and_Itinerant_Frequencies_List_-_UHF_Band|UHF]] band.

Do I need a license to transmit on 151.625 MHz? Yes, you do. You need a license to use all the business band frequencies, including 151.625 MHz, 151.505 MHz, 158.400 MHz, 151.955 MHz, 151.700 MHz, 151.760 MHz, 464.550 MHz, 464.500 MHz, 467.925 MHz, 467.875 MHz, 467.900 MHz, etc. '''Only the 22 FRS frequencies, the 5 MURS frequencies and the 40 CB channels do not require a license.''' ''Getting a business license for the Itinerant channels is extremely easy. ''

Most of the transmissions you'll hear on these frequencies are from portable handheld radios - walkie-talkies, but sometimes high powered mobile radios or even portable repeaters are heard. Portable or temporary repeater output frequencies may be any of the VHF low or VHF high frequencies. On the UHF band, input frequency is 5 MHz above output frequency. In many situations all frequencies are used for simplex only. The 457 MHz, 462 MHz and 467 MHz frequencies are simplex use only and are often used for on-site communications using portable handheld radios. Several of the itinerant frequencies may be used as repeater output channels, repeater input channels or for simplex/talk-around purposes. Examples include the 464.500 MHz, 464.550 MHz and 469.500 MHz, 469.550 MHz frequencies. 464.550 MHz may be used as a repeater output (paired with 469.550 MHz) or both frequencies may be used for simplex purposes. The 457/467 MHz frequencies are also used by shipboard and dockside repeaters or simplex systems aboard ship (10 MHz offset or 10.225 MHz offset). The itinerant frequencies in the VHF bands do not have a set pairing or offset like the UHF bands do.

The default channels / frequencies for most job site / contractor / construction site crews will vary. Many crews use [[FRS]], [[MURS]] or [[CB]] for on-site communications, especially if multiple contractors and subcontractors are working together on a large site. The default out of the box factory UHF channels are also often heavily used.

See the factory portable radio frequencies and available frequencies listed in the [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|section]] below.

This is a dynamic list and is a work in progress. '''It will never be complete or completely accurate due to regional and local variation.''' It is an attempt to consolidate multiple databases and lists currently residing in various parts of the Internet. Like most of these lists, this will never be complete or 100% accurate. Businesses will often simply buy radios and use them without bothering with licensing or frequency coordination. Use of the license-free [[FRS]] and [[MURS]] frequencies is also very widespread. Individual stores may change frequencies and/or [[FRS#FRS_CTCSS_and_DCS_Subchannel_Code_Tone_.22Privacy_Code.22_Listing|CTCSS / PL or DCS / DPL tones or codes]] - tone/codes, especially in [[Business_Radio#Commonly_Heard_CTCSS_and_DCS_Tones_Codes_For_Popular_UHF_VHF_Business_Itinerant_Frequencies|areas where multiple groups are using the same frequency]] - to meet their specific needs, even if this means deviating from a nationwide or regional chain channel plan.

Most stores use 154.570 MHz and 154.600 MHz as their primary frequencies with CSQ. In areas where interference is an issue, stores will use one of the other MURS frequencies and/or CTCSS or DCS tones/codes as appropriate.

Sam's Club appears to use CTCSS or DCS more often than Wal-Mart, with 131 DPL / 131 DCS as well as 74.4 Hz PL noted. Carrier squelch appears to be the norm unless there's a compelling reason (repeated issues with interference from other MURS users) to use CTCSS or DCS (tone squelch PL or DPL).

Business Radio

R4002: /* VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz */

Business Band Radio - '''this article deals exclusively with [[Land Mobile Radio|land mobile radio]] (LMR) or professional mobile radio systems (PMR, PLMR) in the United States.''' See the [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF and UHF Radio Services page]] for pages dealing with radio systems and allocations in other countries.

Officially called the "Industrial/Business Radio Pool" under 47 CFR 90.35.. within part 90 of the FCC rules (which covers land mobile radio in general - including public safety services). Known as '''LMR''' (land mobile radio), ''PMR'' (professional mobile radio) or '''PLMR''' (professional land mobile radio) as well as just the '''[[Business Band]]'''.

[[11_meter|High HF]] and [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] Land mobile radio service authorized under Part 90 (Land Mobile Radio Services) of the [[FCC]] rules. FCC eligibility verbiage states: Persons primarily engaged in any of the following activities are eligible to hold authorizations in the Industrial/Business Pool to provide commercial mobile radio service as defined in part 20 of this chapter or to operate stations for transmission of communications necessary to such activities of the licensee: (1) The operation commercial of business activity; (2) The operation of educational, philanthropic, or ecclesiastical institutions; (3) Clergy activities; or (4) The operation of hospitals, clinics, or medical associations.

Business Radio is not to be confused with license free or simple license services available for land mobile and portable or walkie-talkie radio purposes in the United States. These [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services include [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] and [[CB]]. FRS, MURS and CB are all heavily used as a low cost alternative to the hassle of business band.

==Below 25 MHz (2000 kHz - 25000 kHz)==
2 MHz - 25 MHz, below 25000 kHz below 25 MHz. The FCC considers industrial/business allocations above 25.0 MHz to be intended exclusively for local communications. For the purposes of land mobile, 2-25 MHz is considered "HF".

Specific frequencies:

*2292 kHz 2.292 MHz - fixed or mobile
*2398 kHz 2.398 MHz - fixed or mobile
*4637.5 kHz 4.6375 MHz - fixed or mobile
*5167.5 kHz 5.1675 MHz - Alaska Emergency frequency (dial frequency in USB mode)

*2000 kHz - 25,000 kHz - businesses may apply for frequencies in the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed/mobile bands]] between 2-25 MHz for base/mobile/fixed purposes, however, use of frequencies between 2 MHz and 25 MHz is limited to backup systems, emergency communications circuits, remote areas where VHF/UHF services would not provide the coverage or range required. Examples include geophysical exploration, telecommunications repair systems or backup systems used by telecom companies in emergencies, and other specialized purposes. Many of these licensed have been depreciated in favor of UHF/SHF SATCOM or satphone based systems.

==VHF Low Band 25-50 MHz==

The 25 MHz, 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are shared with numerous other services worldwide, including the HF SSB [[HF_marine#MF_SSB_and_HF_SSB_marine_bands|marine mobile]] service.

''Removed 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz from list..there are no active, canceled or expired licenses for any of those frequencies. Yes, they are technically assignable, but due to the fact that no legal users are on these frequencies, they’re included under the [[11 meter]] freeband CB list. 27.555MHz, 27.615MHz, 27.635MHz, 27.655MHz, 27.765MHz and 27.860MHz are some of the more popular illegal out of band [[CB]] frequencies.

What are the VHF low band channels frequencies? What frequency is 30MHz? What is 27 MHz? 49MHz range 27MHz band

Frequencies below 150 MHz may continue to use 20K0F3E or 16K0F3E "wideband" FM mode (also known as 25 kHz bandwidth or 20 kHz bandwidth). In the land mobile / business radio industry the term is often “25 kHz channels” or “25 kHz bandwidth”. VHF low band is not subject to the 2013 FCC narrowband mandate. However, narrowband FM may be used on low band. Some licenses will be authorized for 11K0F3E, 16K0F3E and 20K0F3E emissions.

The 25 MHz band (25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz), 27 MHz (27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz) and 29 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz) do actually have licensed business use as of 2020. The 25 MHz frequencies used for oil spill response as well as other land mobile purposes. The 25 MHz frequencies have frequency-specific regulations, including the permissive use of FSK tone signalling, impulse transmission for datalink or other purposes, with a maximum FSK datalink or signalling power output of 50 watts and a maximum of 3 minute bursts. These are allowed on a primary basis on 25.02 MHz, 25.06 MHz, 25.10 MHz and 25.18 MHz and on a secondary basis 25.14 MHz, 25.22 MHz, 25.26 MHz and 25.3 MHz.

The 27 MHz and 29 MHz frequencies are also used for land mobile and offshore ship-to-ship communications. These bands are shared with military/government allocations as well as the fixed/mobile bands and numerous [[HF_pagers|other]] services in other [[Community_Audio_Distribution_Service|countries]].

While the FCC regulations do ''technically'' allow for business licenses on 27.555 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.765 MHz and 27.86 MHz in certain rural areas for forestry and logging communications (maximum power 150 watts), there are no active, expired or canceled licenses for any of these frequencies per the FCC database.
The 27.41 MHz to 28.0 MHz [[CB#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_and_Bands|band]] is still used by military and government stations, but the majority of signals heard there are from unlicensed [[CB]] freebanders or [[CB#CB_Frequencies.2C_freebanding_and_freeband_.22channeling.22|outbanders]].

The 27.54 MHz - 28 MHz band is shared with military/government users per NTIA regulations.

'''Any frequency between 30 MHz and 88 MHz may be used by the military (25 kHz steps)''' and there are various sub-bands allocated to exclusive government used by the NITA that fall within 29.8 MHz - 49.9 MHz (30-50 MHz).

The military and government have exclusive allocations for the 25.33 MHz to 25.55 MHz, 26.48 MHz to 26.95 MHz, 27.54 MHz to 28 MHz, 29.89 MHz to 29.91 MHz, 30 MHz to 30.56 MHz, 32 MHz to 33 MHz, 34 MHz to 35 MHz, 36 MHz to 37 MHz, 38.25 MHz to 39 MHz, 40 MHz to 42., [[Part_15#15.233_Operation_within_the_bands_43.71-44.49_MHz.2C_46.60-46.98_MHz.2C_48.75-49.51_MHz_and_49.66-50.0_MHz.|46.6 MHz to 47.]] MHz and [[Part_15#15.235_Operation_within_the_band_49.82-49.90_MHz.|49.6 MHz to 50 MHz]] bands.

FM voice bandwidth 25 kHz permitted under FCC regulations. [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|Emission designators]] 20K0F3E and 16K0F3E are common for FM voice, 20K0F3D and 16K0F3D for DTMF and other tone-modulated signaling, alerting systems and 20K0F2D, 19K0F2D, 16K0F2D, 20K0F1D, 19K0F1D, 16K0F1D, 16K0G2D, etc. [[telemetry]] are also commonly found. The 25.02 MHz - 25.32 MHz [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|band]], 27.43 MHz - 27.53 MHz [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|band]] and 29.71 MHz - 29.79 MHz [[Fishnet_beacon|band]] are shared with marine mobile, the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service, mobile service]], land mobile, CB radio [[CB#UK_CB_.2227.2F81.22_Frequencies|bands]] and [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|27 MHz]] marine radio, [[CB#South_Africa_.2829_MHz_CB.29|29 MHz]] CB and marine services or [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|fishery radio]] services (in other countries), paging systems, [[HF_pagers|telemetry]] (fixed/mobile) systems. The 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz band (25 kHz steps, or in some implementations, 12.5 kHz steps, FM or NFM) is used throughout Asia for fishery radio communications, ship to ship and ship to shore. [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|This service was originally designed in China but has spread throughout Asia. Usually referred to as "FM Fishery Radiotelephone" or "Dedicated Fishing Boat Radio-telephone" The 25 kHz step (480 channel) version is the most commonly used.]] No CTCSS or DCS tone squelch or coded squelch is uses on the "Dedicated Fishery Radio" or "Asian Fishery Radio" service. In other words, it is carrier squelch (CSQ) only. Due to the significant overlap (up to the 39 MHz band) that this service has with VHF low band, it is worthy of mentioning here.

The 30-50 MHz VHF low band business bands may be (and frequently are) used within the United States by the US military for [[SINCGARS#VHF_Tactical_FM_Land_Mobile_Air-Ground_Military_Communications| various purposes]] - non frequency hopping uses include: range control, aircraft advisory and [[VHF_airband|secondary]] air traffic control purposes, air-to-air and air-to-ground communications, land mobile (tactical comms) - both in frequency hopping (FH) and single channel (SC) mode. The US military have [[SINCGARS#Federal_Government_and_Military_Only_Bands_30-50_MHz|their own sub-bands within VHF low band where they are the primary authorized user]]. However, NTIA and FCC regulations permit use of any frequency between 30.000 MHz and 87.975 MHz (25 kHz channel spacing) [[SINCGARS#NTIA_Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations|on a non-interference basis]]. As long as they're not interfering with the primary licensed user for a given area, they may (and do) use frequencies within the VHF low band business bands and the VHF low band public safety bands. ''The military use wider than normal FM deviation and a non-standard 150.0 Hz tone squelch. Most scanners, receivers, SDRs, etc. will decode 150 Hz as 151.4 Hz. ''

==VHF Mid Band 72-76 MHz==

Special purpose use only. See section 90.205 (power limits), 90.257 and 90.241. The 72-76 MHz band is shared with [[Remote_Control|72/75 MHz remote control frequencies under Part 95]], operational fixed stations in the maritime mobile service (marine radio service). It is also shared with very low power assisted listening audio transmitter [[Part 15]] systems operating in the 72.0 MHz - 73.0 MHz, 74.6 MHz - 74.8 MHz and 75.2 MHz - 76.0 MHz bands per 47 CFR [[Part_15#15.237_-_Operation_in_the_bands_72.0-73.0_MHz.2C_74.6-74.8_MHz_and_75.2-76.0_MHz.|15.237]].

The band 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz is exclusively allocated to the [[VHF_airband|aeronautical]] [[VOR|radio navigation]] [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]] for [[ILS]] marker beacons operating on 75 MHz. 74.8 MHz to 75.2 MHz operates as a guard band for the 75.0 MHz marker beacons (part of the [[ILS]] system).

Part FCC Part 90.35, 72-76 MHz is not used for traditional land mobile purposes like the other bands are. 20K0F3D, 20K0F2D, 20K0F1D emissions are commonly found for fixed [[telemetry]] links. 20K0F3E regular 25 kHz FM voice emission is found for operational fixed links using voice and/or mixed voice/data. 1 watt power limit for "fixed stations". Note that fixed, base and mobile stations are all licensed as "mobile" stations even if they are fixed stations. Actual fixed stations are limited to 300 watts ERP.

This frequency is shared with the Radio Control (R/C) Service, of the part 95 Personal Radio Services, where it is used solely for the radio control of models.

Note that in most of the world, VHF mid band is 66-88 MHz. It is used for land mobile, plus the [[OIRT]] FM broadcast band, the 4 meter (70 MHz) [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|amateur radio band]], [[78_MHz_VHF_CB|78 MHz VHF CB]] (Thailand), [[RHA68]] 67 MHz - 72 MHz license free [[CB]]-like service in Finland, and the [[69_MHz_VHF_CB|69 MHz CB service]] in Sweden.

Used for point-to-point links (voice and data), call boxes, telemetry, [[POCSAG|paging]] system [[HF_pagers|links]], industrial control purposes, radio clock control, etc. The California Highway Patrol CHP [[VHF / UHF Radio|hybrid VHF/UHF/700 MHz]] system uses 72 MHz and 75 MHz, as well as microwave systems, to link remote receiver sites for its VHF low band statewide land mobile network. Several other systems in various places nationwide operate similar systems using the mid band for linking remote sites and providing back-haul audio link capability. The 72 MHz frequencies are also heavily used for low power point-to-point data links, for example controlling a GPS-based clock system. These systems generally transmit in the 2-10 watt range and cover schools, college campuses, manufacturing sites, etc. The 74 MHz and 75 MHz frequencies may be used for industrial process control, telemetry and other specialized uses. Public safety users utilize these frequencies for back-haul purposes as described above as well as to control tornado sirens, for roadside emergency call boxes or other specialized purposes.

==VHF High Band 150-174 MHz==

'''This band is usually the band what is referred to simply as "VHF". Many radios call this band 136-174 MHz, [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_VHF_UHF_and_up|144]]-174 MHz, 146-174 MHz or something like that.'''

''There are several spots in the 150-156 MHz and 157.45-160.2 MHz bands where the 7.5 kHz channel steps are ignored or other band plans seem to have been "dropped in", resulting in odd channel steps and offsets (10 kHz channel steps, 3.75 kHz offset, etc.) This is most evident around 150.775 MHz, 150.7975 MHz, 150.800 MHz, 150.805 MHz, 150.8125 MHz, 150.815 MHz, the 154.4525 MHz, 154.45625 MHz, 154.46375 MHz, 154.47125 MHz, 154.47875 MHz, 154.4825 MHz, 154.490 MHz, 154.4975 MHz, 154.505 MHz, 154.515 MHz, 154.5275 MHz, 154.53375 MHz, 154.540 MHz, 154.5475 MHz, 154.555 MHz, 154.570 MHz, 154.585 MHz, 154.600 MHz, 154.610 MHz, and 154.640 MHz portion, the overlap between the [[VHF_marine|VHF marine band]] starting at 156.000 MHz (public safety allocations continue from 155.9925 MHz in 7.5 kHz steps up through 156.240 MHz, which land mobile allocations overlapping marine channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 60, 61, 62, 63 and 64. Some of these marine channels are available in limited areas - where land mobile allocations in the 156.000 MHz to 156.240 MHz region are prohibited).

==VHF 220 MHz Band 216-222 MHz==

''This portion actually consists of multiple services. The 216-217 MHz Low Power Radio Service ([[LPRS]]), the 217-218 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service, the 218-219 MHz service (which is covered under Part 95 as a Personal Radio Service), the 219-220 MHz AMTS and land mobile radio service (shared with [[amateur radio]]) and the 220-222 MHz band covered under Part 90 as a land mobile service. ''

217-218 MHz band / 219-220 MHz band is allocated to the AMTS service on a primary basis. Amateur radio (1.25 meter band) has secondary prilivges on this band. The 217 MHz band may also be used for VHF trunking systems, including land mobile systems, inland from waterways to avoid interference to the marine AMTS system.

217-218 MHz trunking systems use 3.125 kHz offset / 6.25 kHz offset frequencies with 12.5 kHz channel steps. for example 217.63125 MHz, 217.91875 MHz, 217.78125 MHz, 217.70625 MHz, etc. Mobiles transmit 2 MHz higher (repeater inputs in the 219-220 MHz band, for example 219.63125 MHz, 219.91875 MHz, 219.78125 MHz, 219.70625 MHz, etc.). DMR and other digital narrow band modes are used.

47 CFR § 90.259 - Similar propagation characteristics to the VHF high band, used for trunking systems and other purposes nationwide. Standardized channel pairs, band plan and channel numbering per FCC rules. Not all frequencies are available for business users. Some frequencies are only available in certain areas. Paired systems use 1 MHz offset (mobiles transmit 1 MHz higher for repeater input).

==UHF Band 406-413 MHz==

Like the 169-172 MHz, use of these frequencies is limited to fixed stations transmitting hydrological or meteorological data. These frequencies are referred to as the "Hydro Channels" and are shared with federal government stations on a secondary basis. The 406.125 MHz and 406.175 MHz frequencies may be paired with 415.125 MHz and 415.175 MHz. Narrowband F1D and F2D [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators|emissions]].

==UHF Band 421-430 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''' - specifically in and near Detroit, MI, in and near Cleveland, OH and in and near Buffalo, NY. Frequencies fall within 420-450 MHz 70cm amateur radio allocation. In the areas listed, amateur radio use is not permitted below 430 MHz. The entire 420-450 MHz band is shared nationwide with military users and prohibitions exist in other areas. All operations (including mobiles) are limited to an 80km (50 mile) radius of the center locations as defined in FCC rules 90.273, 90.275, 90.279, 90.281, and 90.619. Public Safety users have additional sub-bands allocated (423.0000 MHz - 424.3875 MHz paired with 428.0000 MHz - 429.3875 MHz). 12.5 kHz channel steps. Repeater inputs +5 MHz split (same as the regular 450-470 MHz UHF band).

'''Detroit and Cleveland'''
*422.2000 MHz - 422.9875 MHz (input frequencies 427.2000 MHz - 427.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*424.4000 MHz - 424.9875 MHz (input frequencies 429.4000 MHz - 429.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

'''Buffalo'''
*424.4000 MHz - 424.9875 MHz (input frequencies 429.4000 MHz - 429.9875 MHz) - simplex and duplex repeater pairs
*425.0000 MHz - 425.2375 MHz (simplex only)

Like the UHF-T (UHF-TV) band 470-512 MHz, the 421-430 MHz band was allocated to alleviate pressure in large metro areas where frequency congestion is a significant problem. Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are located near large Canadian cities. Frequency coordination with Canada is performed for license authorization in these areas.

==UHF Band 450-470 MHz==

The UHF band follows a standardized repeater pairing system. Mobiles transmit +5 MHz split. For example, a repeater operating on 451.375 MHz has a mobile input of 456.375 MHz. A repeater operating on 464.775 MHz has a mobile input of 469.775 MHz. The input frequencies can, and often are, used for simplex operations as well. 6.25 kHz offsets and 3.125 kHz offsets may be used. The 454 MHz band and 459 MHz band may be used for business purposes under Part 22 paging licenses in urban areas where frequency congestion is a serious issue. Analog FM as well as various digital voice modes and trunking systems may be used (for example, DMR, Motorola TRBO, NXDN trunking, IDAS, DMR Tier 3 trunking, etc). The same +5 MHz offset applies. For example, a mobile transmitting on 459.30625 MHz for a repeater output of 454.30625 MHz.

The 450-470 MHz land mobile systems that use repeaters must use the band plan and the +5 MHz split. Inverting the input and output frequencies is not allowed like it is on the the amateur bands.

462.5375 MHz, 462.7375 MHz, 467.5375 MHz and 467.7375 MHz are the guard band channels between Part 90 and the Part 95 allocations ([[FRS]] and [[GMRS]]. These frequencies may only be used with narrow band digital modes (NDXN or NEXEDGE, IDAS narrow, DMR, etc.). If used as part of a trunking system, 462.5375 MHz and 462.7375 MHz are used as repeater outputs, paired with 467.5375 and 467.7375, respectively. There are reports of these four frequencies being used as simplex frequencies at very large events (radio rentals, etc).

*Group A1 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies. Group A1 frequencies are only available for assignment within an 80 km radius (50 mile radius) of metropolitan areas.

*Group A2 - Simplex operations or paired operations. If the system uses a pair (5 MHz offset), the fixed station or base station operates on the low side (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) and the mobile / portable stations operate on the high side (456 MHz, 457 MHz, 467 MHz) as per UHF band plan. 20 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations / base stations. 6 watt ERP power limit for portable or mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 75 feet above the ground. Voice users are primary users, non-voice users are secondary. Single-frequency simplex systems are very common and may be found on the low or high side frequencies.

*Group B - Data and telemetry (including telecommand - remote control) are the primary users of these frequencies. Voice is permitted, but only on a secondary basis to non-voice uses. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Base stations (fixed stations) may be licensed as mobile stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group C - Telemetry / data (non-voice) and voice systems, shared. 6 watt ERP power limit for fixed stations, 2 watt ERP power limit for mobile and portable stations. Fixed station antennas may be up to 20 feet above ground.

*Group D - Alarm system telemetry, wireless links back to central office control station. 2 watt power limit, antenna at the central alarm control station may be up to 20 feet above ground.

Under [[FCC]] rules Part 90.267, low-power 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz "splint" or "splinter" frequencies in the 450 MHz to 470 MHz band are broken down into different groups:

*'''Group A1''' - low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles''': '''6 watts'''. Only available within 80 km radius (49.7 mile radius) of larger metro areas. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired for repeater purposes. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group A2''' - may be shared with non-voice users (for example, telemetry), low side of frequency pair (451 MHz, 452 MHz, 462 MHz) - maximum '''20 watts''' ('''base stations''') - high side of pair, '''portables or mobiles: 6 watts'''. Available nationwide. Maximum height for fixed stations is 75 feet above ground. Low or high side may be used for simplex purposes, or frequencies may be paired. ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.''

*'''Group B''' - Group B frequencies are available for non-voice operations on a primary basis. Voice operations will be permitted on a secondary basis. Base, mobile or operational fixed stations will be authorized on Group B frequencies. Fixed stations may be licensed as mobile. Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. '''Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts.''' '''Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts.''' ''The vast majority of these frequencies are used for simplex purposes only.'' These frequencies may be used for short-range data links, control systems for clocks, bells or other alarms in schools or on campuses, sprinkler systems at golf courses and numerous other datalink systems.

*'''Group C''' - Group C frequencies are available for voice and non-voice operations on a co-primary basis. Only mobile operations will be authorized on Group C frequencies. Stations may operate at fixed locations for a temporary period of time. '''No stations operating at a permanent fixed location will be authorized on Group C frequencies.''' Maximum height for fixed stations is 20 feet above ground. Base or fixed stations have a maximum power output of 6 watts. Portable or mobile stations have a maximum power output of 2 watts. ''Group C low power frequencies are heavily used for simplex portable radios on job sites and for similar purposes. While the frequencies in group A1, A2 and B are also used for on-site voice radio walkie-talkie purposes, Group C is more frequently encountered.
''
*'''Group D''' - Only available for central alarm signaling and [[telemetry]] purposes in urban areas, except in rural areas where coordination is required. Operation on Group D frequencies is limited to 2 watts output power for mobile, base or operational fixed stations. Fixed stations used for central station alarm operations may utilize antennas mounted not more than 7 meters (20 feet) above a man-made supporting structure, including antenna structure.

Except for itinerant operations on Group C, wide area operations will not be authorized. The area of normal day-to-day operations will be described in the application in terms of maximum distance from a geographic center (latitude and longitude).

A hospital or health care institution holding a license to operate a radio station under this part may operate a medical radio telemetry device with an output power not to exceed 20 milliwatts 20mw 0.02 watts without specific authorization from the Commission. All licensees operating under this authority must comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this section. The 6.25 kHz channels have more strict frequency stability and bandwidth limitations compared to the 12.5 kHz channels. The 6.25 kHz channels are generally only used in heavily urbanized areas where frequency congestion and interference are problematic.

Some specialty business users (race frequencies, such as those used by [[Racing_frequencies|NASCAR teams]], other racing users and for on track operations) often use frequencies outside the standard low power frequencies. Due to the temporary and low power characteristics of these types of users, interference is usually not a problem. Individual track facilities have their own on-site radio systems, often including licensed repeaters and use of portable (temporary) itinerant frequencies. Larger events use the 450 MHz / 455 MHz [[Broadcast_auxiliary_remote_station|broadcast]] cue (IFB/STL) frequencies.

Frequencies from the lists below, plus the standard itinerant UHF frequencies 451.8 MHz, 451.8125 MHz, 456.8 MHz, 456.8125 MHz, 464.5 MHz, 464.55 MHz, 469.5 MHz and 469.55 MHz are often used for inter squad radio (intra squad radio) militia prepper squad radio using low power [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Intra-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channels_UHF_16-Channel_Radio_Programming_Plan_Militia_Patriot_Inter-Squad_Radio_Frequencies_Channel_List|16 channel short range]] low probability of intercept 450-470 MHz handhelds such as the Luiton LT-458, Baofeng BF-888S family, Retevis handhelds including the H777 family and higher quality UHF radios including those by Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, etc.

==UHF-T Band 470-512 MHz==

Note: '''This band is only used in certain areas''', and in those areas only certain sections of it are used. 470 MHz to 512 MHz is allocated to UHF TV channels 14-20 - hence the UHF-T or UHF-TV designation. In larger urban areas, channels are "borrowed" and re-assigned to land mobile.

'''The FCC has mandated that users vacate these frequencies in the “near future“ (whatever that means...2020? 2022? 2025?) as part of the transition to Digital Television (DTV) and the general push towards public safety use of the 700 MHz band. The largest users of the 470-512 MHz UHF-T band include massive public safety radio systems in several massive metro areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and numerous others.'''

Like the 450-470 MHz band, UHF-T has a standardized repeater input/mobile transmit and repeater output/simplex split or offset. Instead of 5 MHz, its 3 MHz. For example, a repeater operating on 470.6875 MHz has a mobile input frequency of 473.6875 MHz associated with it. In areas with the band starting at 470.0000 MHz, the first available frequency is 300 kHz up from the edge of the band, 470.3125 MHz.

The original band plan called for 25 kHz steps with 12.5 kHz offset channels. As of 2020, the 470-512 MHz band does not require use of 12.5 kHz channels narrow band modulation (NFM, DMR, NXDN, P25, etc.) emissions. However, many cities where the UHF-T band is used suffer from extreme land mobile radio channel congestion. Therefore, they are forced to use narrow channels (12.5 kHz channels and 6.25 kHz channels) anyway. Note that, as with the 450-470 MHz band, there is distinction between public safety and business users. In the interest of clarity and context, however, the discussion on the UHF-T band will include public safety radio systems.

A good example of this would be the FDNY Fire and EMS dispatch systems on the 482 MHz and 483 MHz band and their associated Motorola Type II trunking and Project 25 trunking systems that operate in the 482 MHz and 483 MHz region with the 6.25 kHz channel step. FDNY's fire dispatch system utilizes a half-duplex "split" frequency setup with base stations (dispatchers) transmitting on the low side and mobiles replying on the +3 MHz input mobile transmit frequency. They are not set up like a traditional repeater, however. FDNY fire dispatch frequencies 482.00625 MHz, 482.01875 MHz, 482.03125 MHz 482.04375 MHz 482.10625 MHz and 482.23125 MHz transmit narrow FM (12.5 kHz bandwidth) on the 6.25 kHz channels. The same is true for the FDNY EMS dispatch system, however the EMS dispatch system operates as a traditional simulcast repeater system.

In some areas, all public safety and a large amount of business radio operates in the 470-512 MHz T-band or TV-band. These cities (and their associated metropolitan areas) include: Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Cleveland, OH, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, Detroit, MI, Houston, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, New York, NY/N.E. New Jersey, Philadelphia, PA, San Francisco/Oakland, CA and the Washington-Baltimore metro area.

==800 MHz/900 MHz band 809-940 MHz==
Most of the systems the 800 MHz and 900 MHz land mobile bands are trunked radio systems. It is important to note that the 806-824 MHz and 851-869 MHz bands are shared with public safety systems.

Some on-site business systems use the 900 MHz band, including the Motorola DTR 900 MHz FHSS frequency hopping spread spectrum handheld radios, which operate 1 watt transmit power on the 902-928 MHz [[ISM]] and [[Part 15]] band using [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|frequency hopping digital voice]].

Current examples include the [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|Motorola DTR410, DTR550, DTR650, DTR600 and DTR700 radios. These radios operate with 50 kHz channel spacing and 8-level FSK digital FHSS]] 902-928 MHz band (channels start at 902.525 MHz and continue to 927.475 MHz, 525 kHz from band edges for a total of 500 available channels at 50 kHz channel spacing), in compliance with Part 15 of the FCC rules - specifically [[Part_15#15.247_-_Operation_within_the_bands_902-928_MHz.2C_2400-2483.5_MHz.2C_and_5725-5850_MHz.|47 CFR 15.247]].

A full listing of the Motorola 900MHz FHSS digital on-site license free business radios frequency hop set frequencies list is available [[Motorola_DTR_series_900_MHz_frequency_hopping_hopsets|here]]. Basically, starting at 902.525 MHz, every 50 kHz up to 927.475 MHz, is one of the frequencies used by the Motorola FHSS 900 MHz “ISM band” license-free on site digital business radios.

The DTR 900 MHz digital business radios offer performance comparable with UHF walkie-talkies as far as in-building coverage goes.

The 902-928 MHz band is shared with numerous other services and devices, including [[Cordless_telephone#United_States|analog and digital cordless phones]], UAV or drone [[Remote_Control#900_MHz_RC_Frequencies|radio control]], other remote control/[[Remote_Control#United_States|radio control]] systems and backhaul telemetry links, analog and digital video senders, point to point audio links, ISM services, [[Wi-Fi#900_MHz_.28802.11ah.29|900 MHz WiFi]] or 802.11ah [[Wi-Fi]] and various other telemetry and data networks and services.

''Can businesses use FRS radios? Yes [[FRS#FRS_Frequently_Asked_Questions_FRS_FAQ|they can under Part 95]] of the FCC rules. '''Only the 5 MURS frequencies and the 22 FRS frequencies may be used without a license''', however.''

Often heard at construction sites, special events, shopping malls, stores, gas stations, etc. There is also movement in the hunting community away from CB/11 meter and VHF marine towards licensed Part 90 land mobile/business radio systems.

See [[Hunt_Club_Frequencies|hunt club radio frequencies]] and American militia tactical VHF/UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#Militia_Radio_Programming_Plan_-_Handheld_Radios|tactical frequencies and channel plans for VHF/UHF and UHF radios - Baofeng, etc.]] as well as UHF [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies#UHF_Only_16-Channel_Intra-Squad_Radio_Inter-Squad_Radio_ISR|intra squad radio (or inter-squad radio, or ISR) intra-squad radio frequency plans]].

These frequencies are often supplemented with heavy use of [[FRS]] frequencies. Use of all 22 FRS frequencies is permitted by businesses under the FCC rules.

Note the Motorola, Kenwood, Vertex, Baofeng, etc. on-site business radio [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Retevis_Blackbox_Radios_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|default factory codes channels frequencies settings and available frequencies in a separate section below]] - these are not FRS/GMRS frequencies. Motorola FRS and GMRS radios use the standard 14 or 22 FRS channels.

All Part 90 frequencies above 150 MHz must operate in narrow band mode or use digital voice modes that meet the FCC narrowbanding requirement.

*Narrow band FM voice emissions include 11K2F3E (sometimes listed on licenses as 11K3F3E or 11K0F3E), 10K5F3E, 10K0F3E, 9K20F3E, 9K10F3E 8K50F3E, 8K00F3E, and 6K00F3E.
*Narrow FM voice/data (11K3F3E, 11K2F3E, 11K0F3E, 9K20F3E, 11K3F3D, 11K3F2D, 11K3F1D, 11K2F9W, etc.), DMR (7K60FXE, 7K60FXW, 7K60F7W, etc), IDAS or NXDN NEXEDGE (4K00F1E, 8K30F1E, 8K30F7W, etc.) and Project 25 P25 (8K10F1E) are the most common.

Do I need a license to transmit on 151.625 MHz? Yes, you do. You need a license to use all the business band frequencies, including 151.625 MHz, 151.505 MHz, 158.400 MHz, 151.955 MHz, 151.700 MHz, 151.760 MHz, 464.550 MHz, 464.500 MHz, 467.925 MHz, 467.875 MHz, 467.900 MHz, etc. '''Only the 22 FRS frequencies, the 5 MURS frequencies and the 40 CB channels do not require a license.''' ''Getting a business license for the Itinerant channels is extremely easy. ''

Most of the transmissions you'll hear on these frequencies are from portable handheld radios - walkie-talkies, but sometimes high powered mobile radios or even portable repeaters are heard. Portable or temporary repeater output frequencies may be any of the VHF low or VHF high frequencies. On the UHF band, input frequency is 5 MHz above output frequency. In many situations all frequencies are used for simplex only. The 457 MHz, 462 MHz and 467 MHz frequencies are simplex use only and are often used for on-site communications using portable handheld radios. Several of the itinerant frequencies may be used as repeater output channels, repeater input channels or for simplex/talk-around purposes. Examples include the 464.500 MHz, 464.550 MHz and 469.500 MHz, 469.550 MHz frequencies. 464.550 MHz may be used as a repeater output (paired with 469.550 MHz) or both frequencies may be used for simplex purposes. The 457/467 MHz frequencies are also used by shipboard and dockside repeaters or simplex systems aboard ship (10 MHz offset or 10.225 MHz offset). The itinerant frequencies in the VHF bands do not have a set pairing or offset like the UHF bands do.

The default channels / frequencies for most job site / contractor / construction site crews will vary. Many crews use [[FRS]], [[MURS]] or [[CB]] for on-site communications, especially if multiple contractors and subcontractors are working together on a large site. The default out of the box factory UHF channels are also often heavily used.

See the factory portable radio frequencies and available frequencies listed in the [[Business_Radio#Default_Motorola_Kenwood_Vertex_TYT_Baofeng_Pofung_BTECH_Hytera_Factory_Out_Of_The_Box_Channels_Frequencies_Settings|section]] below.

This is a dynamic list and is a work in progress. '''It will never be complete or completely accurate due to regional and local variation.''' It is an attempt to consolidate multiple databases and lists currently residing in various parts of the Internet. Like most of these lists, this will never be complete or 100% accurate. Businesses will often simply buy radios and use them without bothering with licensing or frequency coordination. Use of the license-free [[FRS]] and [[MURS]] frequencies is also very widespread. Individual stores may change frequencies and/or [[FRS#FRS_CTCSS_and_DCS_Subchannel_Code_Tone_.22Privacy_Code.22_Listing|CTCSS / PL or DCS / DPL tones or codes]] - tone/codes, especially in [[Business_Radio#Commonly_Heard_CTCSS_and_DCS_Tones_Codes_For_Popular_UHF_VHF_Business_Itinerant_Frequencies|areas where multiple groups are using the same frequency]] - to meet their specific needs, even if this means deviating from a nationwide or regional chain channel plan.

'''*Target'''

Target has several frequency plans in use. Larger stores are individually licensed.
Channel 1 often features a low-power (under 5 watt) base station transmitter system, used for paging staff. At stores using 467.750 MHz for channel 1 located in shopping centers with restaurants, interference from Long Range Systems coaster pagers (which also operate on 467.75 MHz) has been noted. 467.925 MHz, 467.8 MHz, 467.85 MHz and 467.875 MHz are used by numerous other stores, causing a monitoring headache for somebody with a scanner.

R4002: /* SSB Voice and DSC Distress Safety Calling Frequencies */

HF-[[SSB]] marine bands - these are standardized maritime mobile MF and HF communications bands - note that ''many'' maritime mobile users operate outside of these bands and there are dozens of country- or region-specific additional bands/frequencies. These bands are used for USB voice transmissions, various data modes including [[Maritime Fax Transmissions|FAX]] used for [[Maritime Fax Transmissions]], FSK, modes for various purposes as well as [[Maritime Weather Transmissions|USB voice and RTTY weather and emergency broadcasts to ships at sea.]]

[[Pescadores|Fisheries, fishing boats, and other commercial marine users]] will often use frequencies in the HF [[HF_airband|aeronautical or aircraft bands]] (including the [[MWARA|6525 kHz to 6685 kHz]] and 6685 kHz to 6765 kHz military aircraft 6 MHz subbands 6525 kHz to 6765 kHz), other HF aircraft bands, [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed/mobile band]] ([[List_of_Pirate_Radio_Frequencies|including 43 meters - 6765-7000 kHz]]) clear frequencies in the shortwave broadcast bands or even amateur frequencies for "out of band" communications to reduce the chance of radio interception by their competition. Out of band frequencies are also used in other ITU regions for [[Maritime Fax Transmissions|marine fax transmissions]].

'''See also:''' [[VHF_marine|VHF marine band]]

MF-SSB and HF-SSB marine traffic (usually in the bands above 4 MHz) can be in simplex or semi-duplex for voice and/or data. Cross-band operation is also allowed per ITU regulations. Often you will hear ship-to-ship communications in simplex mode on the "ship transmit" frequency of a duplex pair.

===MF SSB and HF SSB marine bands===

''Note, many online sources use the MHz frequency notation instead of the kHz. Both are correct from a technical point of view and for all practical purposes it boils down to personal preference. '''To convert MHz to kHz or kHz to MHz simply move the decimal point'''. For example, 4003 kHz is 4.003 MHz. 6212 kHz is 6.212 MHz, 16420 kHz is 16.420 MHz, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Calling_Frequencies_Channels|27.555 MHz is 27555 kHz]], [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|14.313 MHz is 14313 kHz]], [[Shortwave_Broadcast_Bands|7.200 MHz is 7200 kHz]], and so on. Once you get into the VHF/UHF [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|spectrum]], MHz frequency notation is basically universally used, including for the [[VHF marine]] band.''

===Designated Simplex SSB Radiotelephone Voice Frequencies===

U.S. designated frequencies in the 2 MHz - 30 MHz band are listed below. Many of these are shared with other services and may be assigned for other marine purposes per ITU rules (see below).

These frequencies are designated for radiotelephone operations (voice, USB mode, frequency indicated is the dial frequency, in other words, 2003.0 kHz is what your radio's display should show for operating on 2003 kHz). Emission J3E is the primary emission on these frequencies. DSC may be used, in which case, emission must be J2B. USB voice emission is 2.8 kHz bandwidth, emission designator 2K80J3E. R3E may be used on distress, safety and calling frequencies, in which case the emission designator is 2K80R3E.

===ITU Designated Simplex Frequencies===

''These frequencies are specifically designated for simplex use (ship-to-ship and/or ship-to-shore comms). Any frequency in the MF and HF marine bands may be used for simplex purposes, including the duplex channelized frequencies. Often the "ship TX" or "ship transmit" frequency is used for ship-to-ship communications. However, either frequency may be used for simplex communications. Frequencies in-between the ITU channels may be used for voice or data communications as well. USB mode is normally used, with some LSB. AM is rarely used, although ship to ship use of AM mode is found in the 2-4 MHz region in some parts of the world, especially Russia.''

===ITU Designated Duplex Frequencies===

These frequencies are specifically designated for duplex use (generally ship-to-shore or shore-to-ship comms). Simplex operations are very common, often using the ship frequency, but simplex ship to ship comms are found on the shore frequencies as well.

Any frequency in the MF and HF marine bands may be used for simplex purposes, including the duplex channelized frequencies. Often the "ship TX" or "ship transmit" frequency is used for ship-to-ship communications in regular single-frequency simplex mode. However, either frequency may be used for simplex communications. Frequencies in-between the ITU channels may be used for voice or data communications as well. USB mode is normally used, with some LSB.

R4002:

This page was created to help those who are interested in the hobby of HF radio monitoring and want to learn more. In addition to resources in this Wiki, there is also a special forum for beginners on the HF Underground Message Board where you can ask questions in a friendly environment.

Click on highlighted text links to learn more about a specific subject. Do not get frustrated if you don't understand all that is presented to you. This page is designed to help you with getting started successfully monitoring HF radio by offering bite sized pieces of information to you.

Links associated with frequencies (such as 5000 kHz) will take you to an online receiver that is tuned so you have a chance to hear it live. Be sure to visit [http://www.kiwisdr.com/ks/using_Kiwi.html KiwiSDR Operating Information] to learn more about how to operate these online receivers. There is a [http://kiwisdr.com/public/ list] and [http://rx.linkfanel.net/ map] or receivers available to use worldwide. Using an online receiver allows you to try HF monitoring before investing in your own equipment. They are also helpful if you have limited capabilities to erect a large antenna or if your location has a lot of radio frequency interference.

= What Can I Hear? =

There are a wide variety of things to listen to on HF and it would be impossible to cover them all here. To get a taste for what is available see the examples below to get you started. Much of what is presented here is from a North American perspective but can be helpful to new hobbyists located elsewhere.

Patience is one of your most important tools. Unlike radio stations on your FM dial, many, if not most, stations broadcast on a limited basis and are not on the air continuously. There are many factors that can help and impede your chances of reception so if you are not successful on your first attempt, keep trying!

Understanding radio propagation will help you determine what stations you can hear and when you can hear them. Shortwave radio signals can arrive at your receiver from the transmitter in two ways. If you are very close to the transmitter the radio waves will travel across the ground to your receiver (ground wave propagation). If you are farther away the radio waves will bounce off the ionosphere in the atmosphere (sometimes multiple times) before arriving at your receiver (ionospheric propagation or "skip"). Watch this short Youtube video to get a basic understanding of this process.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpbmAPo5Gak Understanding Shortwave Propagation for the Beginner]

Some key factors to remember are:

- Radio propagation can be forecasted but you can never be 100% certain.

- The presence of sunspots will significantly enhance radio propagation especially at higher frequencies. The lack of sunspots will reduce propagation.

- Your location is also important. The propagation at the transmitter site may be completely different from the propagation at the receiver.

- Time of day is very important. The ionosphere changes during the day and reflects signals of different frequencies at different times.

Since radio propagation is a natural phenomenon it can be unpredictable. It can also change very quickly. Sometimes propagation is excellent. Sometimes it is very, very poor. The pursuit of the elusive radio signal is the thrill of HF radio monitoring. As you get started in this hobby, start with the easier stations to hear and work upward toward the harder ones. This will hone your listening skills and improve your chances.

== Easy to hear ==

''('''Propagation tip''': night time favors lower frequencies, day time favors higher ones)''

'''Time stations''' - 24/7 broadcast of accurate time:

[https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/radio-stations/wwv WWV] [https://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvh.htm WWVH](US) - 2500 kHz, 5000 kHz, 10000 kHz, 15000 kHz, 20000 kHz (WWV only), 25000 kHz (WWV only) [Show receivers on east coast vs. west coast to emphasize propagation at different locations]

[https://nrc.canada.ca/en/certifications-evaluations-standards/canadas-official-time/nrc-shortwave-station-broadcasts-chu CHU] (Canada) - 3330 kHz, 7850 kHz, 14670 kHz

These time stations are often used by more experienced hobbyists to quickly check propagation in North America and to check to see if their receivers and antennas are functioning properly.

'''Shortwave Broadcasters'''

'''Amateur (Ham) Radio'''

Amateur radio operators are people who are licensed to use parts of the HF radio spectrum. Their interests span from technical, emergency communications, or to just having conversations with other stations. There are many [http://www.arrl.org/band-plan amateur radio bands] on HF. Operators also operate many different modes - voice (AM, LSB, USB), digital, Morse Code, etc. Many of these modes can be monitored on online receivers without any special equipment. Some modes require special decoding hardware or software. The easiest to listen to would be voice communications. Here are a couple of examples of frequencies that have regular activity or nets. Again, propagation can affect whether or not stations can be heard or not.

75 meter band - 3875 kHz, 3885 kHz (AM voice activity)

40 meter band - 7253 kHz, 7255 kHz (LSB nets)

20 meter band - Slow Scan TV (SSTV) - 14230 kHz (with SSTV decoder on)

More details about amateur radio can be found on the [http://www.arrl.org ARRL website].

== Moderately easy to hear ==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_radio Pirate radio stations] are stations that broadcast without a license. [add more info]

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station Numbers (Spy) Stations] - While more prevalent in the past there are still some stations that are still operating. These stations are rumored to be used by governments to send coded information to their intelligence assets on the ground. You won't be able to decode any of the message but they are nonetheless interesting. A group called [http://www.priyom.org Priyom] operates a website that makes it easier to hear these stations. The website has a schedule of expected transmission and a link that will automatically take you to an online receiver that has a good chance of receiving it.

== More difficult to hear ==

Rare, exotic stations are hunted by groups of listeners called DXers. Often they listen for days, weeks, months, or years in the hope of receiving a specific station. A combination of patience, luck, equipment, and propagation can determine whether the elusive station will be heard. These stations can be low power stations that are target a local audience, political clandestine stations that are short lived and operating illegally in their country, or stations that have a very restricted on the air schedule. Sometimes propagation cooperates and allows easier reception of these stations. Hobbyists operating "out of band" above and below the amateur radio bands, especially [[Pescadores|around 6600-7000 kHz - but use many other frequencies]] and around the [[CB]] band ([[11_meter|11 meters]]) and 10 meter amateur band 25-30 MHz ([[CB#Freebanding_-_What_is_free_band_CB_radio.3F|freebanding]], usually from roughly 25600 kHz to 28000 kHz, during band openings).

= Where to Listen Online =

A quick place to start is to use the links supplied [https://www.hfunderground.com/on_the_air/update.php on this page] to go directly to an online receiver tuned to the correct frequency. This is only intended to be an aid and not a guaranteed method of hearing any particular station. Remember that not all stations are on the air 24/7 and propagation will effect whether or not you can receive them.

= Other Resources =

'''Propagation, Time of Day, and Location'''

Propagation is the study of how signals can get from the transmitter to the receiver and can vary according to the sun, the Earth's atmosphere, frequency, time of day, and your location. All of this adds to the enjoyment and excitement of radio monitoring. At times a very strong reliable station will become weak and a rare weak station can become strong enough to hear. With practice you can use propagation tools to help you predict the best time to hear a station.

'''Part 95''' FCC Rules - 47 C.F.R. 95 - Personal Radio Services, Subpart D - CB Radio Service, aka "'''Class D'''". ("'''Class C'''" is the [[Remote_Control#RC_Transmitter_Regulations_-_Part_15.2C_Part_95_and_Part_97|RCRS]], "'''Class A'''" is now [[GMRS]] and [[FRS]] on [[VHF / UHF Radio|UHF]] and [[MURS]] on [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF]].). 27 MHz band, aka the 25-30 MHz band, 26-28 MHz band or the [[11_meter|11 meter band, 11 meters]].

'''See the HFUnderground CB 11 meter and 10 meter forum here:

[https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/board,15.0.html 10/11 Meter Forum at HF Underground]'''

===General Overview ===

[[CB Savage|Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio"]] for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the [[11_meter|25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz)]] range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the [[Main Page|HF]] band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range [[VHF / UHF Radio]] service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "[[11_meter|11 meters]]".

CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services such as [[FRS]]/[[GMRS]] and [[MURS]]. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|militias]] and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, [[HF pagers|for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems]], and [[Remote_Control|low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control)]] purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed [[Business Radio]] Services.

Many [[ham radio]] operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.

CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "[[Steve_Anderson|preppers]]" and [[United_Patriot_Radio|survivalists]], in addition to amateur radio and [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|VHF/UHF services]] such as [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[VHF marine]], etc.

A large radio subculture relating to [[Splatterbox|illegally modifying]] CB equipment, using so-called "[[CB#CB_Radio_10_Meter_Radio_Export_Radio_Images_Gallery|export radios]]" or "[[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|10 meter]] radios" or modifying [[amateur radio]] equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than [[Piss weak|legal]] power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.

CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to '''all''' radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"

See [[CB#CB_Channel_Plans|here]] for 27 MHz CB radio channel plans, bands, etc. See [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] for 11 meter band 25-30 MHz band frequency allocations, legal users and illegal users.

===CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio===

-'''Do truckers still use CB radios?''' Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.

-'''Is it legal to use FM on CB radio?''' Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, [[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels.
See Part 95 Subpart D [[FCC]] rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS [[Emission_Designator|emission]] types.

-'''Some CB radios are advertised as having P-Channels - what are the P-Channels?''' President CB radios with FM and CTCSS/DCS capability are now being shipped with preprogrammed P-Channels or P Channels. These are hard programmed channels (in [[FM]] mode) with a CTCSS tone or DCS code (selective calling) already set up, allowing for interference free communications without having to program CTCSS (PL) or DCS (DPL). 5 P-channels P1 P2 P3 P4 and P5 appear to be in use as of late 2025.

-'''Are 23 channel CB radios illegal?''' No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.

-'''Is CB HF?''' sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.

-'''Is CB 11 meters?''' Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|the freeband frequencies]], the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz).

Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common as Chinese radios such as the AnyTone Smart, AnyTone AT5555, AnyTone AT6666 and numerous others including the AnyTone Ares II (Radioditty QT50), Anysecu CB-40M AR-925 and many others. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.

===Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War===

The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. [[SINCGARS|Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB]]. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).

The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying [[VHF / UHF Radio|"VHF"]] was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.

An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.

The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.

German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up
To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).

The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.

Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.

===Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond===

The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter [[amateur radio]] band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.

On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).

The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).

Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.

Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.

Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.

When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.

CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E [[Ionosphere|propagation]]. During band openings, however, [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|skip]] propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|DXing]] at modest power levels can be realized.

===CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"===

CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).

Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.

===Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?===

Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies ''below'' CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around '''26.915 MHz''' (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.

SSB operators usually operate ''above'' CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.430 MHz]], [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.450 MHz]], 27.460 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.490]] MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being '''27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency'''. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency '''26.285 MHz USB'''), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).

In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.

With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the [[11_meter|11 meter]] band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the [[Bust|law (technically)]] but [[FCC|enforcement]] is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.

===Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands===

'''Further information may be found on the pages for [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies|freeband CB 11 meter frequencies]], including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz]].'''

''By its very nature, the 11 meter band, the freeband, 11 meter free band, outbanding, operating out of band, the 11 meter band, 11 meters, whatever you want to call it, is dynamic. '''Therefore, no list, including this one, can ever be complete.''' Many of the frequencies listed below are the result of "gentleman's agreements" and there are plenty of exceptions. One of the things that attracts radio operators to working DX on 11 meters / the CB bands is the more laid back atmosphere of 11 meters compared to [[Amateur_radio|amateur radio]]. ''

'''Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.'''

''While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.''

===Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum===

Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, [[HF marine]] and [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|FM land mobile]]. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.

'''Please see the 25-30 MHz users page [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|NTIA allocations]] for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.'''

===CB Channel Plans===

The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. [[HF_pagers|The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included)]]. These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the [[FCC]] rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the [[Remote_Control|R/C channels]], but it is shared with CB.

[[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] Modulation in the United States. US FCC [[CB_Radio|CB Radio]] Service (CBRS) regulations require all CB radios to have AM mode capability as the standard mode. In other words, all CB radios operate in AM mode by default. This ensures backward compatibility between all 27 MHz CB radios. Identical rules and regulations in Canada, where it is officially called the General Radio Service (specialized trucking companies in some parts of Canada also use the [[VHF_LADD|VHF Resource Road]] frequencies (LADD channels) in addition to standard 27 MHz CB radio equipment).

SSB and/or FM are optional in the United States. If the radio is equipped with SSB capability, it must at least be able to use the upper side band. SSB CB equipment is capable of LSB and USB. FCC rules allow 4 watt AM carrier power, 4 watt FM power and 12 watt PEP SSB power.

Bandwidth limits are 8 kHz for AM mode ('''8K00A3E'''), 8 kHz for FM ('''8K00F3E'''), and 4 kHz for SSB. SSB with carrier ('''4K00H3E'''), SSB with reduced carrier ('''4K00R3E'''), and true SSB without carrier ('''4K00J3E''') are allowed. Use of selective calling systems, including tone-based selective calling such as DTMF, ANI, etc. as well as CTCSS tone squelch (PL) and DCS coded squelch (DPL) are permitted.

In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe. In the Americas, Australia and a few other places, AM mode is the standard mode.

CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.

===UK CB "27/81" Frequencies===

UK FM CB Radio "27/81" Frequencies UK FM CB radio channel chart.

Narrow band [[FM|FM (Frequency Modulation) only. PM (phase modulation)]] also allowed - narrow band phase modulation, so [[Emission_Designator|F3E and G3E]]. Use of tone squelch and digital tone squelch - CTCSS and DCS are allowed on the UK FM channels and the European 40 (mid band FM, CE band, EU band, etc.). Radios with CTCSS and DCS capability are slowly penetrating the market in the UK and Europe.

''The maximum operating [[11_meter|frequency band]] shall be from 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz for the 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz UK band and 26.960 MHz to 27.410 MHz for the 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] (European standard band).''

''For users operating on the 40+40 CB channels, the "center frequency" for antenna tuning that is generally used is 27.48 MHz or 27.500 MHz.''

MPT 1320 - original CB 27/81 regulations MPT 1333, MPT 1382 (for UK 27/81 UK FM CB). Because of the original MPT1320 specification, the 27/81 channels are sometimes referred to as the "Muppets" or "Muppets Channels".

FM with '''2.5 kHz maximum deviation''' is the ''only mode allowed'' on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz. Emission designators 11K3F3E - 12K5F3E. Most radios limit deviation to 2 kHz so 8-10 kHz bandwidth - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the [[Community Audio Distribution Service]] (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).

The UK allows use AM, FM and SSB on the 40-channel European standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CEPT "mid band" or "EC" allocation UK GB CB PR 27/97 (same as US frequencies) in addition to the frequencies listed below. The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.

See below for the WPAS and CADS frequency listing (26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, 27.600 MHz to 27.995 MHz).

The 27.6 MHz to 28.0 MHz allocation overlaps with CADS/WPAS and other services in various countries outside the UK, [[HF_pagers|including paging/telemetry]], [[Remote_Control#Spain|long range]] [[Remote_Control#Switzerland|wireless control and land mobile services]] used in [[Remote_Control#Czech_Republic|several]] other [[Remote_Control#European_Standardization_EU_or_CEPT|European]] countries, [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|various]] marine / [[HF_marine|maritime mobile]] radio [[CB#Thailand_27_MHz_Marine_Maritime_CB_Radio_Communications|services]] and other voice and data [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed and mobile]] services.

In Ireland, there are three sets of 40 channels available,

the 40 regular CEPT/EC/EU European mid band FM frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz (FM and AM allowed) - '''CB01 to CB40'''

the 40 UK FM 27/81 "muppets" band (with the last two digits cut off, so 27.601 MHz - 27.991 MHz instead of 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz, FM and AM allowed on those 40 channels, '''LW01 to LW40''' channel frequency designators

the Ireland-specific '''UW01 to UW40''' channels, which are 27.605 MHz to 27.995 MHz, straight 10 kHz spacing. In other words, the UK FM CB channels +3.75 kHz offset. AM and FM modes are allowed.

The LW and UW channels overlap with each other and occupy the same frequency spectrum 27.6 MHz to 28 MHz 27600 kHz to 28000 kHz. The CB01 to CB40 channels overlap with the CB radio service 26965 kHz to 27405 kHz (full band 26960 kHz to 27410 kHz). The 27410 kHz to 27595 kHz spectrum is not included in the allocation, but frequencies in that section are still sometimes used, as are the Polish / Russian -5 kHz "zeros" eg. 27.000 MHz instead of 27.005 MHz, 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz, and so on.

===German, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian "Auxiliary" channels 41-80===
80 Channel CB radio. '''DE''' mode on multi-norm CB radios.

[[FM]] modulation only in '''Germany''', '''Czech Republic''', '''Slovakia''' and '''Hungary''' on channels 41-80. AM, FM and SSB are allowed channels 1-40, while radios are supposed to switch to FM mode only (4 watt power limit) for the 26.565-26.955 MHz portion.

2 kHz FM deviation limit, 8 kHz bandwidth limit in AM and FM mode.
[[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Digital_Modes_ROS_PSK31_CW_SSTV_Channels|Digital modes allowed on specified channels]] (26.675 MHz, 26.685 MHz, 26.915 MHz and 26.925 MHz) in Germany - channels 52, 53, 76 and 77.
Designated channels 41-80 (channels 1-40 are the [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|US/CEPT standardized channels]]). Full 80 channel allocation 26.565 MHz to 27.405 MHz or 26.560 MHz to 27.410 MHz. Shared with [[HF_pagers|paging services]], fixed [[Remote_Control#Russia|links]], remote control (RC), on-campus voice and/or [[POCSAG|data]] pagers and the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]], especially in border areas.

Czech regulations specify that data transmission between CB stations is permitted on channels 24, 25, 52, 53, 76 and 77. F1D, F2D, G1D, G2D, J1D, J2D, A1D and A2D [[Emission_Designator|emissions (modes)]] are permitted. [[Remote_Control|Remote control]] transmitters are allowed on channels 18 and 23.

Czech regulations specify that remote base stations (gateways or hotspots networks) linked repeaters via multiple locations stations on frequencies 26.755 MHz FM, 26.815 MHz FM, 26.835 MHz FM, 26.845 MHz FM, 26.855 MHz FM, 26.865 MHz FM, 26.875 MHz FM, 26.885 MHz FM and 26.935 MHz, FM frequencies assigned to channels 60, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 78. Use of CTCSS or DCS is '''strongly''' encouraged to allow sharing of frequencies by users who do not wish to access the linked hotspot (Internet link) networks.

Simplex repeaters are legally only permitted on channel 18 and channel 23 per Czech regulations (27.175 MHz and 27.255 MHz).

The Czech Republic places restrictions on which frequencies may be used for linked remote base station hotspot connections (linked repeater networks). Germany does not restrict this to specific channels, and Slovakia also allows the same 80 channel band plan. However, there are restrictions on base stations, linked remote base stations and CB repeaters being located less than 15km from the borders of Poland and Austria.

Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.

'''Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan.''' Channels 24 and 25 are out of sequence. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band.

Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz.

'''While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common.''' Channels 26-34 overlap with [[CB#German.2C_Czech_and_Hungarian_.22Auxiliary.22_channels_41-80|German]] 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "[[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|low channels]]".

===Australian 27 MHz Marine CB===

'''Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service''' or "27 MEG", more commonly known as 27 MHz marine band. Some radios include provisions for additional "private" channels in the 27 MHz range, in between 27.68 MHz and 27.98 MHz, eg. 27.75 MHz, [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|27.78 MHz]], etc.

'''Australian regulators plan on phasing the 27MHz marine radios out as far as emergency equipment goes. Those same regulators still list 27-MHz ch88 or 27.88MHz as one of the recognized and monitored emergency / calling / distress frequencies. '''

[[AM]] mode. 8K00A3E emission. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.

Some stations use these frequencies - usually 27880 kHz / 27.88 MHz and then either 27910 kHz / 27.91 MHz or 27940 kHz / 27.94 MHz for '''Marine Safety Information (MSI)''' broadcasts. For more information see [[Maritime_Weather_Transmissions#List_of_voice_.28SSB.29_Maritime_Weather_Transmissions|the page on maritime weather transmissions]].

27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular.

New Zealand has a total of 80 26MHz / 27MHz AM/[[SSB]] CB radio channels available. The NZ specific 26MHz band 26.33MHz - 26.770 MHz plus the standard 40 Australian [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|27MHz CB channels]] (identical to the European mid band CE / CEPT / EU channels and the American FCC legal
40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz). AM, USB and LSB are allowed on all 40 of the 27MHz channels. AM/SSB is permitted on 26MHz channel 1 to channel 17 and channel 25 to channel 40. Channels 18 to 24 are [[AM]] mode only.

[[AM]] and [[SSB]] modulation. The '''CBH''' channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or [[UHF CB]] allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

26 MHz AM Public Channels:

*Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.33 MHz to 26.53 MHz and 26.61 MHz to 26.77 MHz)
*Channels 18 to 24 are for '''AM only''' (26.54 MHz to 26.6 MHz)
*Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.45 MHz AM)
*Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.5 MHz AM)
*Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.72 MHz LSB mode)

''Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.''

''NZ 26 MHz CB skips the 5 "A" channels, in this case they are 26.36 MHz, 26.41 MHz, 26.46 MHz, 26.51 MHz and 26.56 MHz.''

New Zealand is close enough to Asia that interference from fishing fleet radio chatter, fishnet buoys, radio buoys, etc. can be a significant problem. 26330 kHz - 26770 kHz, 26965 kHz - 27405 kHz.

New Zealand previously had a 14 channel allocation in the same 26MHz band 26.425 MHz to 26.75 MHz, using 25 kHz spacing. Several of the original channels overlap with the current allocation.

*Old Channel 1 - 26.425 MHz
*Old Channel 2 - 26.450 MHz - now channel 11
*Old Channel 3 - 26.475 MHz
*Old Channel 4 - 26.500 MHz - now channel 15
*Old Channel 5 - 26.525 MHz
*Old Channel 6 - 26.550 MHz - now channel 19
*Old Channel 7 - 26.575 MHz
*Old Channel 8 - 26.600 MHz - now channel 24
*Old Channel 9 - 26.625 MHz
*Old Channel 10 - 26.650 MHz - now channel 28
*Old Channel 11 - 26.675 MHz
*Old Channel 12 - 26.700 MHz - now channel 33
*Old Channel 13 - 26.725 MHz
*Old Channel 14 - 26.750 MHz - now channel 38

===Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB===

26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.

These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

===Russian CB Channel Frequencies===

Use of the full 25.615 MHz - [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|30.105 MHz]] export radio coverage (24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz) is widespread in Russia, including channels that fall within the 28MHz [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] / 10 meter [[amateur radio]] [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] 28.000 MHz - 29.700 MHz.

CB Repeaters, [[CB#CB_Repeater_Listing|simplex repeaters]], cross-band links to other VHF/UHF [[River_Portable_Radio_300_MHz_-_344_MHz|services]] (usually the “UHF 433” or “LPD 433” [[LPD433|433 MHz / 434 MHz band]] 433-435 MHz and Internet gateways are very common. Си-Би is the term, often 27MHz or 27 МГц is used to refer to the entire band. CB repeaters are often associated with automobile clubs, or “ARC” (“auto-radio club”) organizations.

Note that the “A Band” - or 26.060 MHz - 26.500 MHz on the R channel plan / zeros channels and 26.065 MHz - 26.505 MHz on the standard / European / E channel plan - is sometimes considered part of the Russian CB radio band plan.

Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. ''In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz'' Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modulation. [[SSB]] used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).

'''Common band designations:'''

*B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''C band in the West, low channels'')
*C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band'')
*D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''E band in the West, high channels'')
+
channel number
+
mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")

For example,

*26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
*27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)

''Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.''

Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"

Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.

As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.

Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. [[HF_pagers|paging systems]] (using [[POCSAG]], etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the [[FCC]] Part 95 [[Remote_Control|RCRS]] services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.

Russian CB radio channel usage:

*27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
*27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF) -
*27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
*27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
*27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
*27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
*27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
*27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
*27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)
*27.315 MHz FM - FM calling channel European grid - C31EF (D31EF)
*27.635 MHz FM - Information and traffic channel (some areas only) D19EF (E19EF) - previously used for traffic information broadcasts in St. Petersburg only (service discontinued in 2014)

Recommended Calling Channels - Main Channels:

*27.065 MHz FM - C9EF - Emergency channel
*27.135 MHz AM - C15EA - Truck drivers, highway channel, considered the Russian version of CB Channel 19
*27.185 MHz AM - C19EA - Information channel, secondary to 27.135 MHz - note: AM and FM are both used
*27.185 MHz FM - C19EF - Information channel
*27.190 MHz USB - "Hidden" channel, used for SSB DXing (among others, see also; 27.140 MHz, etc.)
*27.200 MHz FM - C20RF / 20R / 20P - FM calling channel for Russian speaking stations (echo repeaters on this frequency as well)
*27.270 MHz AM - C27RA / 20R / 20P - AM calling channel, QRP (low power) channel

===Belarus CB Radio===

26.960 MHz to 27.860 MHz or 26.965 MHz to 27.855 MHz / 27.865 MHz (some sources say 27.865 MHz). Channel plan appears to mirror that of Russia. 5 watt power limit in AM mode / FM mode. SSB allowed (or at least de facto allowed). Identical plan for 80 channel CB + 80 channel CB (zeros and fives).

Parrot repeaters or echo repeaters (simplex CB radio repeaters) are active in Belarus just like they are active in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe and worldwide. Use of the 25 MHz and lower 26 MHz channels is commonplace as with other CIS / former Soviet countries, 25.610 MHz / 25.615 MHz up to 28 MHz.

===Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands===

CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.

*'''CE''' - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
*'''EU''' - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
*'''F''' - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM
*'''UK''' - UK "27/81" CB Band - 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - UK FM CB 27/81 allocation - UK has 80 available channels - UK + EU
*'''UE''' - UK Full 80 Channels - EU 40 channels + UK FM 40 channels (80 channels), some radios require the user to switch between the two bands
*'''dE''' or '''DE''' - Germany - 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 80 channels, channels 1-40 are AM/FM 4W/4W, same as CE band, channels 41-80 are FM only (4W) 26.565-26.955

===Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels===

'''Standard 6 band export radio plan.''' All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.

6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.

The related Superstar 120, Superstar 121, President Grant DX, Superstar GR, etc. style radios (120 channel radios, radios with a LOW/MID/HIGH band selector, this includes radios like the Galaxy DX 86V with the C-D-E band switch), plus CB rigs with 120 channel modifications, frequency expansion mods or "channel kits" (including the popular Cobra 29 family of radios, Galaxy DX 919, Galaxy DX 929, Galaxy DX 939, Galaxy DX 949, Galaxy DX 959 / DX 959B, Galaxy DX 979, Texas Ranger rigs, etc.) use the same form factor with either LOW-MID-HIGH band switch or C-D-E covering 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz. Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.

Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.

''Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz.'' '''Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged''', but does occur.

For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).

Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|spectrum]] is allocated to military and government users and the military [[SINCGARS|actually does use]] the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.

99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

===Japan CB Radio Frequencies===
[[AM]] modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.

0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|China]], and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

===Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio===

1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN

26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).

See also: VHF low band [[Japanese 40MHz DSB Fishery Radio|40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service]]

The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.

Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter [[Amateur_radio|ham (amateur radio) band]] have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same [[11_meter|25-30 MHz region]].

===Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio===

In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard [[VHF marine]] band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

===China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio ===

People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.

Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.

Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).

Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).

'''Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.''' Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to ''not'' be Chinese. '''These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets. '''

''This system does appear to go through the [[Amateur_radio|10 meter amateur band]] - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.''

The FT-801 radio discussed above (as part of the 27.5 MHz - 39.5 MHz Chinese fisheries radio network) is also available as the FT-801B, which instead of covering 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz with FM voice and data modes, covers 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz with AM voice. Other sources indicate 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz. Note the differences in specifications compared to the FT-801 version. No channel / frequency steps listed, unable to locate an actual channel plan, only the 26.475 - 27.27 MHz frequency coverage. 20 channels is listed, and it appears that the radio provides a channel display instead of frequency display. See the 26.105MHz to 27.985MHz allocation available offshore fishery radio in Thailand below.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.

The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.

Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).

===Thailand 27 MHz Marine Maritime CB Radio Communications ===

Note that some radios have two bands for Thailand - Thai 27 MHz CB. One of bands covers the 26.105MHz - 27.985MHz 168 channel band discussed below, the other follows the 26.065MHz - 28.755MHz 240 channel modified [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|export radio]] band plan. The 26065 kHz - 28755 kHz band plan moves the A-B-C-D-E-F band plan up one band, so the legal 26.965MHz - 27.405MHz band is "Band C" instead of "Band D". It also means that more frequencies within the 10 meter amateur radio band are available for unlicensed CB use.

===South Africa (27 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] and [[SSB]] (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.

''Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed mobile]] and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.''

===South Africa (29 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] on all channels. [[SSB]] only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz non-standard '''12.5 kHz''' channel spacing.

Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).

29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).

This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both [[Remote_Control#Australia|Australia]] and [[Remote_Control#New_Zealand|New Zealand]].

Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modes allowed. Shared with the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]]. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if [[SSB]] is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz - often expressed as 26.96 MHz - 27.28 MHz.

Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] and [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|UHF]] services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band [[350_MHz_Short_Range_Radio|SRR Short Range Radio]]. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select. 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz and 27.195 MHz RC/data/short range low power frequencies are skipped, as per the standard 40 channel CB radio band plan.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters===

25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.

All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters Automatic Relay Recommended Channels Frequencies===

'''Use of CTCSS tone squelch is mandatory'''. FM mode. Recommended channels frequencies for automatic relay / parrot repeaters. Radios such as the President Washington with built in automatic relay and CTCSS / DCS as well as split operation have this capability.

*77.0 Hz
*88.5 Hz
*94.8 Hz
*100.0 Hz
*107.2 Hz
*141.3 Hz

===CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services===

Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or [[VHF / UHF Radio]] services such as [[PMR446]], [[LPD433]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]] services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.

Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz Italian "VHF CB"]] equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.

===CB Repeater Listing - Simplex Repeaters===

''Below is a list of confirmed '''as of May 2026''' CB repeaters and their location (if known).''

Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.

There are a ''lot'' of these in Russia. The Russians call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [https://cb-radio.ru/ARK.pdf] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [https://cb-radio.ru/]

===General Overview ===

[[CB Savage|Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio"]] for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the [[11_meter|25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz)]] range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the [[Main Page|HF]] band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range [[VHF / UHF Radio]] service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "[[11_meter|11 meters]]".

CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services such as [[FRS]]/[[GMRS]] and [[MURS]]. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|militias]] and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, [[HF pagers|for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems]], and [[Remote_Control|low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control)]] purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed [[Business Radio]] Services.

Many [[ham radio]] operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.

CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "[[Steve_Anderson|preppers]]" and [[United_Patriot_Radio|survivalists]], in addition to amateur radio and [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|VHF/UHF services]] such as [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[VHF marine]], etc.

A large radio subculture relating to [[Splatterbox|illegally modifying]] CB equipment, using so-called "[[CB#CB_Radio_10_Meter_Radio_Export_Radio_Images_Gallery|export radios]]" or "[[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|10 meter]] radios" or modifying [[amateur radio]] equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than [[Piss weak|legal]] power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.

CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to '''all''' radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"

===CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio===

-'''Do truckers still use CB radios?''' Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.

-'''Is it legal to use FM on CB radio?''' Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, [[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels.
See Part 95 Subpart D [[FCC]] rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS [[Emission_Designator|emission]] types.

-'''Some CB radios are advertised as having P-Channels - what are the P-Channels?''' President CB radios with FM and CTCSS/DCS capability are now being shipped with preprogrammed P-Channels or P Channels. These are hard programmed channels (in [[FM]] mode) with a CTCSS tone or DCS code (selective calling) already set up, allowing for interference free communications without having to program CTCSS (PL) or DCS (DPL). 5 P-channels P1 P2 P3 P4 and P5 appear to be in use as of late 2025. List of CB radio P-Channels is below:

*Channel P1 - 26.965 MHz FM 94.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P2 - 26.985 MHz FM D073N [073 DCS]
*Channel P3 - 27.085 MHz FM 131.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P4 - 27.175 MHz FM D654N [654 DCS]
*Channel P5 - 27.235 MHz FM 203.5 Hz CTCSS

In other words - P-Channels List Chart CB Radios CTCSS DCS

*P Channel 1 is CB Radio Channel 1 FM with 94.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 2 is CB Radio Channel 3 FM with 073 DPL
*P Channel 3 is CB Radio Channel 11 FM with 131.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 4 is CB Radio Channel 18 FM with 654 DPL
*P Channel 5 is CB Radio Channel 24 FM with 203.5 Hz PL

-'''Are 23 channel CB radios illegal?''' No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.

-'''Is CB HF?''' sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.

-'''Is CB 11 meters?''' Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|the freeband frequencies]], the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz).

Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common as Chinese radios such as the AnyTone Smart, AnyTone AT5555, AnyTone AT6666 and numerous others including the AnyTone Ares II (Radioditty QT50), Anysecu CB-40M AR-925 and many others. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.

===Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War===

The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. [[SINCGARS|Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB]]. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).

The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying [[VHF / UHF Radio|"VHF"]] was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.

An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.

The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.

German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up
To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).

The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.

Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.

===Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond===

The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter [[amateur radio]] band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.

On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).

The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).

Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.

Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.

Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.

When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.

CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E [[Ionosphere|propagation]]. During band openings, however, [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|skip]] propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|DXing]] at modest power levels can be realized.

===CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"===

CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).

Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.

===Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?===

Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies ''below'' CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around '''26.915 MHz''' (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.

SSB operators usually operate ''above'' CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.430 MHz]], [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.450 MHz]], 27.460 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.490]] MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being '''27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency'''. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency '''26.285 MHz USB'''), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).

In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.

With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the [[11_meter|11 meter]] band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the [[Bust|law (technically)]] but [[FCC|enforcement]] is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.

===Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands===

'''Further information may be found on the pages for [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies|freeband CB 11 meter frequencies]], including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz]].'''

''By its very nature, the 11 meter band, the freeband, 11 meter free band, outbanding, operating out of band, the 11 meter band, 11 meters, whatever you want to call it, is dynamic. '''Therefore, no list, including this one, can ever be complete.''' Many of the frequencies listed below are the result of "gentleman's agreements" and there are plenty of exceptions. One of the things that attracts radio operators to working DX on 11 meters / the CB bands is the more laid back atmosphere of 11 meters compared to [[Amateur_radio|amateur radio]]. ''

'''Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.'''

''While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.''

===Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum===

Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, [[HF marine]] and [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|FM land mobile]]. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.

'''Please see the 25-30 MHz users page [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|NTIA allocations]] for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.'''

===CB Channel Plans===

The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. [[HF_pagers|The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included)]]. These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the [[FCC]] rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the [[Remote_Control|R/C channels]], but it is shared with CB.

[[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] Modulation in the United States. US FCC [[CB_Radio|CB Radio]] Service (CBRS) regulations require all CB radios to have AM mode capability as the standard mode. In other words, all CB radios operate in AM mode by default. This ensures backward compatibility between all 27 MHz CB radios. Identical rules and regulations in Canada, where it is officially called the General Radio Service (specialized trucking companies in some parts of Canada also use the [[VHF_LADD|VHF Resource Road]] frequencies (LADD channels) in addition to standard 27 MHz CB radio equipment).

SSB and/or FM are optional in the United States. If the radio is equipped with SSB capability, it must at least be able to use the upper side band. SSB CB equipment is capable of LSB and USB. FCC rules allow 4 watt AM carrier power, 4 watt FM power and 12 watt PEP SSB power.

Bandwidth limits are 8 kHz for AM mode ('''8K00A3E'''), 8 kHz for FM ('''8K00F3E'''), and 4 kHz for SSB. SSB with carrier ('''4K00H3E'''), SSB with reduced carrier ('''4K00R3E'''), and true SSB without carrier ('''4K00J3E''') are allowed. Use of selective calling systems, including tone-based selective calling such as DTMF, ANI, etc. as well as CTCSS tone squelch (PL) and DCS coded squelch (DPL) are permitted.

In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe. In the Americas, Australia and a few other places, AM mode is the standard mode.

CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.

UK FM CB Radio "27/81" Frequencies UK FM CB radio channel chart.

Narrow band [[FM|FM (Frequency Modulation) only. PM (phase modulation)]] also allowed - narrow band phase modulation, so [[Emission_Designator|F3E and G3E]]. Use of tone squelch and digital tone squelch - CTCSS and DCS are allowed on the UK FM channels and the European 40 (mid band FM, CE band, EU band, etc.). Radios with CTCSS and DCS capability are slowly penetrating the market in the UK and Europe.

''The maximum operating [[11_meter|frequency band]] shall be from 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz for the 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz UK band and 26.960 MHz to 27.410 MHz for the 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] (European standard band).''

''For users operating on the 40+40 CB channels, the "center frequency" for antenna tuning that is generally used is 27.48 MHz or 27.500 MHz.''

MPT 1320 - original CB 27/81 regulations MPT 1333, MPT 1382 (for UK 27/81 UK FM CB). Because of the original MPT1320 specification, the 27/81 channels are sometimes referred to as the "Muppets" or "Muppets Channels".

FM with '''2.5 kHz maximum deviation''' is the ''only mode allowed'' on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz. Emission designators 11K3F3E - 12K5F3E. Most radios limit deviation to 2 kHz so 8-10 kHz bandwidth - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the [[Community Audio Distribution Service]] (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).

The UK allows use AM, FM and SSB on the 40-channel European standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CEPT "mid band" or "EC" allocation UK GB CB PR 27/97 (same as US frequencies) in addition to the frequencies listed below. The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.

See below for the WPAS and CADS frequency listing (26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, 27.600 MHz to 27.995 MHz).

The 27.6 MHz to 28.0 MHz allocation overlaps with CADS/WPAS and other services in various countries outside the UK, [[HF_pagers|including paging/telemetry]], [[Remote_Control#Spain|long range]] [[Remote_Control#Switzerland|wireless control and land mobile services]] used in [[Remote_Control#Czech_Republic|several]] other [[Remote_Control#European_Standardization_EU_or_CEPT|European]] countries, [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|various]] marine / [[HF_marine|maritime mobile]] radio [[CB#Thailand_27_MHz_Marine_Maritime_CB_Radio_Communications|services]] and other voice and data [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed and mobile]] services.

In Ireland, there are three sets of 40 channels available,

the 40 regular CEPT/EC/EU European mid band FM frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz (FM and AM allowed) - '''CB01 to CB40'''

the 40 UK FM 27/81 "muppets" band (with the last two digits cut off, so 27.601 MHz - 27.991 MHz instead of 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz, FM and AM allowed on those 40 channels, '''LW01 to LW40''' channel frequency designators

the Ireland-specific '''UW01 to UW40''' channels, which are 27.605 MHz to 27.995 MHz, straight 10 kHz spacing. In other words, the UK FM CB channels +3.75 kHz offset. AM and FM modes are allowed.

The LW and UW channels overlap with each other and occupy the same frequency spectrum 27.6 MHz to 28 MHz 27600 kHz to 28000 kHz. The CB01 to CB40 channels overlap with the CB radio service 26965 kHz to 27405 kHz (full band 26960 kHz to 27410 kHz). The 27410 kHz to 27595 kHz spectrum is not included in the allocation, but frequencies in that section are still sometimes used, as are the Polish / Russian -5 kHz "zeros" eg. 27.000 MHz instead of 27.005 MHz, 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz, and so on.

===German, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian "Auxiliary" channels 41-80===
80 Channel CB radio. '''DE''' mode on multi-norm CB radios.

[[FM]] modulation only in '''Germany''', '''Czech Republic''', '''Slovakia''' and '''Hungary''' on channels 41-80. AM, FM and SSB are allowed channels 1-40, while radios are supposed to switch to FM mode only (4 watt power limit) for the 26.565-26.955 MHz portion.

2 kHz FM deviation limit, 8 kHz bandwidth limit in AM and FM mode.
[[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Digital_Modes_ROS_PSK31_CW_SSTV_Channels|Digital modes allowed on specified channels]] (26.675 MHz, 26.685 MHz, 26.915 MHz and 26.925 MHz) in Germany - channels 52, 53, 76 and 77.
Designated channels 41-80 (channels 1-40 are the [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|US/CEPT standardized channels]]). Full 80 channel allocation 26.565 MHz to 27.405 MHz or 26.560 MHz to 27.410 MHz. Shared with [[HF_pagers|paging services]], fixed [[Remote_Control#Russia|links]], remote control (RC), on-campus voice and/or [[POCSAG|data]] pagers and the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]], especially in border areas.

Czech regulations specify that data transmission between CB stations is permitted on channels 24, 25, 52, 53, 76 and 77. F1D, F2D, G1D, G2D, J1D, J2D, A1D and A2D [[Emission_Designator|emissions (modes)]] are permitted. [[Remote_Control|Remote control]] transmitters are allowed on channels 18 and 23.

Czech regulations specify that remote base stations (gateways or hotspots networks) linked repeaters via multiple locations stations on frequencies 26.755 MHz FM, 26.815 MHz FM, 26.835 MHz FM, 26.845 MHz FM, 26.855 MHz FM, 26.865 MHz FM, 26.875 MHz FM, 26.885 MHz FM and 26.935 MHz, FM frequencies assigned to channels 60, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 78. Use of CTCSS or DCS is '''strongly''' encouraged to allow sharing of frequencies by users who do not wish to access the linked hotspot (Internet link) networks.

Simplex repeaters are legally only permitted on channel 18 and channel 23 per Czech regulations (27.175 MHz and 27.255 MHz).

The Czech Republic places restrictions on which frequencies may be used for linked remote base station hotspot connections (linked repeater networks). Germany does not restrict this to specific channels, and Slovakia also allows the same 80 channel band plan. However, there are restrictions on base stations, linked remote base stations and CB repeaters being located less than 15km from the borders of Poland and Austria.

===Italian I2 Band Italy CB I2 34 Channel CB 26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz===

'''Not to be confused with the Italian [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz VHF]] low band "[[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] CB" band. '''

Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.

'''Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan.''' Channels 24 and 25 are out of sequence. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band.

Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz.

'''While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common.''' Channels 26-34 overlap with [[CB#German.2C_Czech_and_Hungarian_.22Auxiliary.22_channels_41-80|German]] 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "[[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|low channels]]".

===Australian 27 MHz Marine CB===

'''Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service''' or "27 MEG", more commonly known as 27 MHz marine band. Some radios include provisions for additional "private" channels in the 27 MHz range, in between 27.68 MHz and 27.98 MHz, eg. 27.75 MHz, [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|27.78 MHz]], etc.

'''Australian regulators plan on phasing the 27MHz marine radios out as far as emergency equipment goes. Those same regulators still list 27-MHz ch88 or 27.88MHz as one of the recognized and monitored emergency / calling / distress frequencies. '''

[[AM]] mode. 8K00A3E emission. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.

Some stations use these frequencies - usually 27880 kHz / 27.88 MHz and then either 27910 kHz / 27.91 MHz or 27940 kHz / 27.94 MHz for '''Marine Safety Information (MSI)''' broadcasts. For more information see [[Maritime_Weather_Transmissions#List_of_voice_.28SSB.29_Maritime_Weather_Transmissions|the page on maritime weather transmissions]].

27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular.

New Zealand has a total of 80 26MHz / 27MHz AM/[[SSB]] CB radio channels available. The NZ specific 26MHz band 26.33MHz - 26.770 MHz plus the standard 40 Australian [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|27MHz CB channels]] (identical to the European mid band CE / CEPT / EU channels and the American FCC legal
40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz). AM, USB and LSB are allowed on all 40 of the 27MHz channels. AM/SSB is permitted on 26MHz channel 1 to channel 17 and channel 25 to channel 40. Channels 18 to 24 are [[AM]] mode only.

[[AM]] and [[SSB]] modulation. The '''CBH''' channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or [[UHF CB]] allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

26 MHz AM Public Channels:

*Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.33 MHz to 26.53 MHz and 26.61 MHz to 26.77 MHz)
*Channels 18 to 24 are for '''AM only''' (26.54 MHz to 26.6 MHz)
*Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.45 MHz AM)
*Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.5 MHz AM)
*Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.72 MHz LSB mode)

''Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.''

''NZ 26 MHz CB skips the 5 "A" channels, in this case they are 26.36 MHz, 26.41 MHz, 26.46 MHz, 26.51 MHz and 26.56 MHz.''

New Zealand is close enough to Asia that interference from fishing fleet radio chatter, fishnet buoys, radio buoys, etc. can be a significant problem. 26330 kHz - 26770 kHz, 26965 kHz - 27405 kHz.

New Zealand previously had a 14 channel allocation in the same 26MHz band 26.425 MHz to 26.75 MHz, using 25 kHz spacing. Several of the original channels overlap with the current allocation.

*Old Channel 1 - 26.425 MHz
*Old Channel 2 - 26.450 MHz - now channel 11
*Old Channel 3 - 26.475 MHz
*Old Channel 4 - 26.500 MHz - now channel 15
*Old Channel 5 - 26.525 MHz
*Old Channel 6 - 26.550 MHz - now channel 19
*Old Channel 7 - 26.575 MHz
*Old Channel 8 - 26.600 MHz - now channel 24
*Old Channel 9 - 26.625 MHz
*Old Channel 10 - 26.650 MHz - now channel 28
*Old Channel 11 - 26.675 MHz
*Old Channel 12 - 26.700 MHz - now channel 33
*Old Channel 13 - 26.725 MHz
*Old Channel 14 - 26.750 MHz - now channel 38

===Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB===

26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.

These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

CB Repeaters, [[CB#CB_Repeater_Listing|simplex repeaters]], cross-band links to other VHF/UHF [[River_Portable_Radio_300_MHz_-_344_MHz|services]] (usually the “UHF 433” or “LPD 433” [[LPD433|433 MHz / 434 MHz band]] 433-435 MHz and Internet gateways are very common. Си-Би is the term, often 27MHz or 27 МГц is used to refer to the entire band. CB repeaters are often associated with automobile clubs, or “ARC” (“auto-radio club”) organizations.

Note that the “A Band” - or 26.060 MHz - 26.500 MHz on the R channel plan / zeros channels and 26.065 MHz - 26.505 MHz on the standard / European / E channel plan - is sometimes considered part of the Russian CB radio band plan.

Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. ''In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz'' Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modulation. [[SSB]] used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).

'''Common band designations:'''

*B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''C band in the West, low channels'')
*C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band'')
*D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''E band in the West, high channels'')
+
channel number
+
mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")

For example,

*26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
*27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)

''Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.''

Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"

Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.

As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.

Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. [[HF_pagers|paging systems]] (using [[POCSAG]], etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the [[FCC]] Part 95 [[Remote_Control|RCRS]] services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.

Russian CB radio channel usage:

*27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
*27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF) -
*27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
*27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
*27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
*27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
*27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
*27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
*27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)
*27.315 MHz FM - FM calling channel European grid - C31EF (D31EF)
*27.635 MHz FM - Information and traffic channel (some areas only) D19EF (E19EF) - previously used for traffic information broadcasts in St. Petersburg only (service discontinued in 2014)

Recommended Calling Channels - Main Channels:

*27.065 MHz FM - C9EF - Emergency channel
*27.135 MHz AM - C15EA - Truck drivers, highway channel, considered the Russian version of CB Channel 19
*27.185 MHz AM - C19EA - Information channel, secondary to 27.135 MHz - note: AM and FM are both used
*27.185 MHz FM - C19EF - Information channel
*27.190 MHz USB - "Hidden" channel, used for SSB DXing (among others, see also; 27.140 MHz, etc.)
*27.200 MHz FM - C20RF / 20R / 20P - FM calling channel for Russian speaking stations (echo repeaters on this frequency as well)
*27.270 MHz AM - C27RA / 20R / 20P - AM calling channel, QRP (low power) channel

===Belarus CB Radio===

26.960 MHz to 27.860 MHz or 26.965 MHz to 27.855 MHz / 27.865 MHz (some sources say 27.865 MHz). Channel plan appears to mirror that of Russia. 5 watt power limit in AM mode / FM mode. SSB allowed (or at least de facto allowed). Identical plan for 80 channel CB + 80 channel CB (zeros and fives).

Parrot repeaters or echo repeaters (simplex CB radio repeaters) are active in Belarus just like they are active in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe and worldwide. Use of the 25 MHz and lower 26 MHz channels is commonplace as with other CIS / former Soviet countries, 25.610 MHz / 25.615 MHz up to 28 MHz.

===Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands===

CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.

*'''CE''' - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
*'''EU''' - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
*'''F''' - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM
*'''UK''' - UK "27/81" CB Band - 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - UK FM CB 27/81 allocation - UK has 80 available channels - UK + EU
*'''UE''' - UK Full 80 Channels - EU 40 channels + UK FM 40 channels (80 channels), some radios require the user to switch between the two bands
*'''dE''' or '''DE''' - Germany - 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 80 channels, channels 1-40 are AM/FM 4W/4W, same as CE band, channels 41-80 are FM only (4W) 26.565-26.955
*'''I''' - Italy - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 4W AM carrier + 4W FM - same European standard AM/FM band
*'''I2''' - Italy 2 - 26.875 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 34 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W or 40 regular EU channels
*'''PL''' - Poland - 26.960 MHz - 27.400 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W (regular 40 channels -5 kHz)
*'''IN''' - India - 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz - 27 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W

===Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels===

'''Standard 6 band export radio plan.''' All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.

6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.

The related Superstar 120, Superstar 121, President Grant DX, Superstar GR, etc. style radios (120 channel radios, radios with a LOW/MID/HIGH band selector, this includes radios like the Galaxy DX 86V with the C-D-E band switch), plus CB rigs with 120 channel modifications, frequency expansion mods or "channel kits" (including the popular Cobra 29 family of radios, Galaxy DX 919, Galaxy DX 929, Galaxy DX 939, Galaxy DX 949, Galaxy DX 959 / DX 959B, Galaxy DX 979, Texas Ranger rigs, etc.) use the same form factor with either LOW-MID-HIGH band switch or C-D-E covering 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz. Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.

Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.

''Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz.'' '''Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged''', but does occur.

For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).

Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|spectrum]] is allocated to military and government users and the military [[SINCGARS|actually does use]] the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.

99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

===Japan CB Radio Frequencies===
[[AM]] modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.

0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|China]], and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

===Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio===

1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN

26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).

See also: VHF low band [[Japanese 40MHz DSB Fishery Radio|40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service]]

The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.

Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter [[Amateur_radio|ham (amateur radio) band]] have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same [[11_meter|25-30 MHz region]].

===Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio===

In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard [[VHF marine]] band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

===China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio ===

People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.

Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.

Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).

Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).

'''Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.''' Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to ''not'' be Chinese. '''These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets. '''

The FT-801 Dedicated Fisheries Radio - Shishi Feitong Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. includes the following capabilities:

*'''SPECIFICATIONS'''
*27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM transmit and receive frequency range
*25 kHz channel spacing (12.5 kHz channel spacing in "export mode" or "extra channels" mode)
*480 channels

*Display navigation data functions

''This system does appear to go through the [[Amateur_radio|10 meter amateur band]] - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.''

===Asia China Chinese Taiwan R.O.C. South China Sea 26 MHz / 27 MHz Fisheries AM Fishery Fishing Radio 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz ===

The FT-801 radio discussed above (as part of the 27.5 MHz - 39.5 MHz Chinese fisheries radio network) is also available as the FT-801B, which instead of covering 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz with FM voice and data modes, covers 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz with AM voice. Other sources indicate 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz. Note the differences in specifications compared to the FT-801 version. No channel / frequency steps listed, unable to locate an actual channel plan, only the 26.475 - 27.27 MHz frequency coverage. 20 channels is listed, and it appears that the radio provides a channel display instead of frequency display. See the 26.105MHz to 27.985MHz allocation available offshore fishery radio in Thailand below.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.

The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.

Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).

===Thailand 27 MHz Marine Maritime CB Radio Communications ===

Note that some radios have two bands for Thailand - Thai 27 MHz CB. One of bands covers the 26.105MHz - 27.985MHz 168 channel band discussed below, the other follows the 26.065MHz - 28.755MHz 240 channel modified [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|export radio]] band plan. The 26065 kHz - 28755 kHz band plan moves the A-B-C-D-E-F band plan up one band, so the legal 26.965MHz - 27.405MHz band is "Band C" instead of "Band D". It also means that more frequencies within the 10 meter amateur radio band are available for unlicensed CB use.

===South Africa (27 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] and [[SSB]] (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.

''Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed mobile]] and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.''

===South Africa (29 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] on all channels. [[SSB]] only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz non-standard '''12.5 kHz''' channel spacing.

Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).

29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).

This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both [[Remote_Control#Australia|Australia]] and [[Remote_Control#New_Zealand|New Zealand]].

Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

===India 27 channel 27MHz CB===
[[AM]] and [[FM]] modes allowed. Shared with the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]]. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if [[SSB]] is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz - often expressed as 26.96 MHz - 27.28 MHz.

Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] and [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|UHF]] services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band [[350_MHz_Short_Range_Radio|SRR Short Range Radio]]. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select. 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz and 27.195 MHz RC/data/short range low power frequencies are skipped, as per the standard 40 channel CB radio band plan.

'''''IND08''' - Use of wireless equipments intended to be used while in motion or during halts, in the frequency band 26.957 MHz - 27.283 MHz (same as the 27 MHz [[ISM]] band), with a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 5 Watts has been exempted from licensing requirements.''

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters===

25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.

All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters Automatic Relay Recommended Channels Frequencies===

'''Use of CTCSS tone squelch is mandatory'''. FM mode. Recommended channels frequencies for automatic relay / parrot repeaters. Radios such as the President Washington with built in automatic relay and CTCSS / DCS as well as split operation have this capability.

CTCSS tones recommendation:

*77.0 Hz
*88.5 Hz
*94.8 Hz
*100.0 Hz
*107.2 Hz
*141.3 Hz

===CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services===

Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or [[VHF / UHF Radio]] services such as [[PMR446]], [[LPD433]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]] services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.

Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz Italian "VHF CB"]] equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.

===CB Repeater Listing - Simplex Repeaters===

''Below is a list of confirmed '''as of May 2026''' CB repeaters and their location (if known).''

Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.

There are a ''lot'' of these in Russia. The Russians call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [https://cb-radio.ru/ARK.pdf] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [https://cb-radio.ru/]

'''Citizen's Band Radio''' - modern [[FCC]] language simply calls it "CB Radio Service" ([[CB_Radio|CBRS]]) now. '''Part 95''' FCC Rules - 47 C.F.R. 95 - Personal Radio Services, Subpart D - CB Radio Service, aka "'''Class D'''". ("'''Class C'''" is the [[Remote_Control#RC_Transmitter_Regulations_-_Part_15.2C_Part_95_and_Part_97|RCRS]], "'''Class A'''" is now [[GMRS]] and [[FRS]] on [[VHF / UHF Radio|UHF]] and [[MURS]] on [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF]].). 27 MHz band, aka the 25-30 MHz band, 26-28 MHz band or the [[11_meter|11 meter band, 11 meters]].

'''See the HFUnderground CB 11 meter and 10 meter forum here:

[https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/board,15.0.html 10/11 Meter Forum at HF Underground]'''

===General Overview ===

[[CB Savage|Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio"]] for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the [[11_meter|25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz)]] range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the [[Main Page|HF]] band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range [[VHF / UHF Radio]] service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "[[11_meter|11 meters]]".

CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services such as [[FRS]]/[[GMRS]] and [[MURS]]. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|militias]] and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, [[HF pagers|for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems]], and [[Remote_Control|low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control)]] purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed [[Business Radio]] Services.

Many [[ham radio]] operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.

CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "[[Steve_Anderson|preppers]]" and [[United_Patriot_Radio|survivalists]], in addition to amateur radio and [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|VHF/UHF services]] such as [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[VHF marine]], etc.

A large radio subculture relating to [[Splatterbox|illegally modifying]] CB equipment, using so-called "[[CB#CB_Radio_10_Meter_Radio_Export_Radio_Images_Gallery|export radios]]" or "[[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|10 meter]] radios" or modifying [[amateur radio]] equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than [[Piss weak|legal]] power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.

CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to '''all''' radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"

===CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio===

-'''Do truckers still use CB radios?''' Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.

-'''Is it legal to use FM on CB radio?''' Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, [[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels.
See Part 95 Subpart D [[FCC]] rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS [[Emission_Designator|emission]] types.

-'''Some CB radios are advertised as having P-Channels - what are the P-Channels?''' President CB radios with FM and CTCSS/DCS capability are now being shipped with preprogrammed P-Channels or P Channels. These are hard programmed channels (in [[FM]] mode) with a CTCSS tone or DCS code (selective calling) already set up, allowing for interference free communications without having to program CTCSS (PL) or DCS (DPL). 5 P-channels P1 P2 P3 P4 and P5 appear to be in use as of late 2025. List of CB radio P-Channels is below:

*Channel P1 - 26.965 MHz FM 94.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P2 - 26.985 MHz FM D073N [073 DCS]
*Channel P3 - 27.085 MHz FM 131.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P4 - 27.175 MHz FM D654N [654 DCS]
*Channel P5 - 27.235 MHz FM 203.5 Hz CTCSS

In other words - P-Channels List Chart CB Radios CTCSS DCS

*P Channel 1 is CB Radio Channel 1 FM with 94.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 2 is CB Radio Channel 3 FM with 073 DPL
*P Channel 3 is CB Radio Channel 11 FM with 131.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 4 is CB Radio Channel 18 FM with 654 DPL
*P Channel 5 is CB Radio Channel 24 FM with 203.5 Hz PL

-'''Are 23 channel CB radios illegal?''' No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.

-'''Is CB HF?''' sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.

-'''Is CB 11 meters?''' Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|the freeband frequencies]], the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz).

Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common as Chinese radios such as the AnyTone Smart, AnyTone AT5555, AnyTone AT6666 and numerous others including the AnyTone Ares II (Radioditty QT50), Anysecu CB-40M AR-925 and many others. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.

-'''What are the freeband CB radio frequencies?''' - See [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|the freeband 10 meter CB radio channel frequency chart below]], see also: the [[11_meter|11 meter]] frequencies [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|page]].

===Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War===

The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. [[SINCGARS|Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB]]. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).

The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying [[VHF / UHF Radio|"VHF"]] was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.

An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.

The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.

German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up
To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).

The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.

Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.

===Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond===

The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter [[amateur radio]] band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.

On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).

The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).

Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.

Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.

Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.

When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.

CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E [[Ionosphere|propagation]]. During band openings, however, [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|skip]] propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|DXing]] at modest power levels can be realized.

===CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"===

CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).

Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.

===Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?===

Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies ''below'' CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around '''26.915 MHz''' (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.

SSB operators usually operate ''above'' CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.430 MHz]], [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.450 MHz]], 27.460 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.490]] MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being '''27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency'''. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency '''26.285 MHz USB'''), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).

In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.

With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the [[11_meter|11 meter]] band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the [[Bust|law (technically)]] but [[FCC|enforcement]] is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.

===Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands===

'''Further information may be found on the pages for [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies|freeband CB 11 meter frequencies]], including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz]].'''

''By its very nature, the 11 meter band, the freeband, 11 meter free band, outbanding, operating out of band, the 11 meter band, 11 meters, whatever you want to call it, is dynamic. '''Therefore, no list, including this one, can ever be complete.''' Many of the frequencies listed below are the result of "gentleman's agreements" and there are plenty of exceptions. One of the things that attracts radio operators to working DX on 11 meters / the CB bands is the more laid back atmosphere of 11 meters compared to [[Amateur_radio|amateur radio]]. ''

'''Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.'''

''While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.''

===Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum===

Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, [[HF marine]] and [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|FM land mobile]]. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.

'''Please see the 25-30 MHz users page [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|NTIA allocations]] for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.'''

===CB Channel Plans===

The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. [[HF_pagers|The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included)]]. These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the [[FCC]] rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the [[Remote_Control|R/C channels]], but it is shared with CB.

[[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] Modulation in the United States. US FCC [[CB_Radio|CB Radio]] Service (CBRS) regulations require all CB radios to have AM mode capability as the standard mode. In other words, all CB radios operate in AM mode by default. This ensures backward compatibility between all 27 MHz CB radios. Identical rules and regulations in Canada, where it is officially called the General Radio Service (specialized trucking companies in some parts of Canada also use the [[VHF_LADD|VHF Resource Road]] frequencies (LADD channels) in addition to standard 27 MHz CB radio equipment).

SSB and/or FM are optional in the United States. If the radio is equipped with SSB capability, it must at least be able to use the upper side band. SSB CB equipment is capable of LSB and USB. FCC rules allow 4 watt AM carrier power, 4 watt FM power and 12 watt PEP SSB power.

Bandwidth limits are 8 kHz for AM mode ('''8K00A3E'''), 8 kHz for FM ('''8K00F3E'''), and 4 kHz for SSB. SSB with carrier ('''4K00H3E'''), SSB with reduced carrier ('''4K00R3E'''), and true SSB without carrier ('''4K00J3E''') are allowed. Use of selective calling systems, including tone-based selective calling such as DTMF, ANI, etc. as well as CTCSS tone squelch (PL) and DCS coded squelch (DPL) are permitted.

In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe. In the Americas, Australia and a few other places, AM mode is the standard mode.

CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.

''For users operating on the 40+40 CB channels, the "center frequency" for antenna tuning that is generally used is 27.48 MHz or 27.500 MHz.''

MPT 1320 - original CB 27/81 regulations MPT 1333, MPT 1382 (for UK 27/81 UK FM CB). Because of the original MPT1320 specification, the 27/81 channels are sometimes referred to as the "Muppets" or "Muppets Channels".

FM with '''2.5 kHz maximum deviation''' is the ''only mode allowed'' on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz. Emission designators 11K3F3E - 12K5F3E. Most radios limit deviation to 2 kHz so 8-10 kHz bandwidth - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the [[Community Audio Distribution Service]] (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).

The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.

The LW and UW channels overlap with each other and occupy the same frequency spectrum 27.6 MHz to 28 MHz 27600 kHz to 28000 kHz. The CB01 to CB40 channels overlap with the CB radio service 26965 kHz to 27405 kHz (full band 26960 kHz to 27410 kHz). The 27410 kHz to 27595 kHz spectrum is not included in the allocation, but frequencies in that section are still sometimes used, as are the Polish / Russian -5 kHz "zeros" eg. 27.000 MHz instead of 27.005 MHz, 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz, and so on.

===German, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian "Auxiliary" channels 41-80===
80 Channel CB radio. '''DE''' mode on multi-norm CB radios.

[[FM]] modulation only in '''Germany''', '''Czech Republic''', '''Slovakia''' and '''Hungary''' on channels 41-80. AM, FM and SSB are allowed channels 1-40, while radios are supposed to switch to FM mode only (4 watt power limit) for the 26.565-26.955 MHz portion.

2 kHz FM deviation limit, 8 kHz bandwidth limit in AM and FM mode.
[[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Digital_Modes_ROS_PSK31_CW_SSTV_Channels|Digital modes allowed on specified channels]] (26.675 MHz, 26.685 MHz, 26.915 MHz and 26.925 MHz) in Germany - channels 52, 53, 76 and 77.
Designated channels 41-80 (channels 1-40 are the [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|US/CEPT standardized channels]]). Full 80 channel allocation 26.565 MHz to 27.405 MHz or 26.560 MHz to 27.410 MHz. Shared with [[HF_pagers|paging services]], fixed [[Remote_Control#Russia|links]], remote control (RC), on-campus voice and/or [[POCSAG|data]] pagers and the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]], especially in border areas.

Czech regulations specify that data transmission between CB stations is permitted on channels 24, 25, 52, 53, 76 and 77. F1D, F2D, G1D, G2D, J1D, J2D, A1D and A2D [[Emission_Designator|emissions (modes)]] are permitted. [[Remote_Control|Remote control]] transmitters are allowed on channels 18 and 23.

Czech regulations specify that remote base stations (gateways or hotspots networks) linked repeaters via multiple locations stations on frequencies 26.755 MHz FM, 26.815 MHz FM, 26.835 MHz FM, 26.845 MHz FM, 26.855 MHz FM, 26.865 MHz FM, 26.875 MHz FM, 26.885 MHz FM and 26.935 MHz, FM frequencies assigned to channels 60, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 78. Use of CTCSS or DCS is '''strongly''' encouraged to allow sharing of frequencies by users who do not wish to access the linked hotspot (Internet link) networks.

Simplex repeaters are legally only permitted on channel 18 and channel 23 per Czech regulations (27.175 MHz and 27.255 MHz).

The Czech Republic places restrictions on which frequencies may be used for linked remote base station hotspot connections (linked repeater networks). Germany does not restrict this to specific channels, and Slovakia also allows the same 80 channel band plan. However, there are restrictions on base stations, linked remote base stations and CB repeaters being located less than 15km from the borders of Poland and Austria.

===Italian I2 Band Italy CB I2 34 Channel CB 26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz===

'''Not to be confused with the Italian [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz VHF]] low band "[[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] CB" band. '''

Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.

'''Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan.''' Channels 24 and 25 are out of sequence. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band.

Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz.

'''While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common.''' Channels 26-34 overlap with [[CB#German.2C_Czech_and_Hungarian_.22Auxiliary.22_channels_41-80|German]] 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "[[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|low channels]]".

===Australian 27 MHz Marine CB===

'''Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service''' or "27 MEG", more commonly known as 27 MHz marine band. Some radios include provisions for additional "private" channels in the 27 MHz range, in between 27.68 MHz and 27.98 MHz, eg. 27.75 MHz, [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|27.78 MHz]], etc.

'''Australian regulators plan on phasing the 27MHz marine radios out as far as emergency equipment goes. Those same regulators still list 27-MHz ch88 or 27.88MHz as one of the recognized and monitored emergency / calling / distress frequencies. '''

[[AM]] mode. 8K00A3E emission. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.

Some stations use these frequencies - usually 27880 kHz / 27.88 MHz and then either 27910 kHz / 27.91 MHz or 27940 kHz / 27.94 MHz for '''Marine Safety Information (MSI)''' broadcasts. For more information see [[Maritime_Weather_Transmissions#List_of_voice_.28SSB.29_Maritime_Weather_Transmissions|the page on maritime weather transmissions]].

27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular.

New Zealand has a total of 80 26MHz / 27MHz AM/[[SSB]] CB radio channels available. The NZ specific 26MHz band 26.33MHz - 26.770 MHz plus the standard 40 Australian [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|27MHz CB channels]] (identical to the European mid band CE / CEPT / EU channels and the American FCC legal
40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz). AM, USB and LSB are allowed on all 40 of the 27MHz channels. AM/SSB is permitted on 26MHz channel 1 to channel 17 and channel 25 to channel 40. Channels 18 to 24 are [[AM]] mode only.

[[AM]] and [[SSB]] modulation. The '''CBH''' channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or [[UHF CB]] allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

26 MHz AM Public Channels:

*Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.33 MHz to 26.53 MHz and 26.61 MHz to 26.77 MHz)
*Channels 18 to 24 are for '''AM only''' (26.54 MHz to 26.6 MHz)
*Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.45 MHz AM)
*Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.5 MHz AM)
*Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.72 MHz LSB mode)

''Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.''

''NZ 26 MHz CB skips the 5 "A" channels, in this case they are 26.36 MHz, 26.41 MHz, 26.46 MHz, 26.51 MHz and 26.56 MHz.''

New Zealand is close enough to Asia that interference from fishing fleet radio chatter, fishnet buoys, radio buoys, etc. can be a significant problem. 26330 kHz - 26770 kHz, 26965 kHz - 27405 kHz.

New Zealand previously had a 14 channel allocation in the same 26MHz band 26.425 MHz to 26.75 MHz, using 25 kHz spacing. Several of the original channels overlap with the current allocation.

*Old Channel 1 - 26.425 MHz
*Old Channel 2 - 26.450 MHz - now channel 11
*Old Channel 3 - 26.475 MHz
*Old Channel 4 - 26.500 MHz - now channel 15
*Old Channel 5 - 26.525 MHz
*Old Channel 6 - 26.550 MHz - now channel 19
*Old Channel 7 - 26.575 MHz

===Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB===

26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.

These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

===Russian CB Channel Frequencies===

Use of the full 25.615 MHz - [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|30.105 MHz]] export radio coverage (24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz) is widespread in Russia, including channels that fall within the 28MHz [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] / 10 meter [[amateur radio]] [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] 28.000 MHz - 29.700 MHz.

CB Repeaters, [[CB#CB_Repeater_Listing|simplex repeaters]], cross-band links to other VHF/UHF [[River_Portable_Radio_300_MHz_-_344_MHz|services]] (usually the “UHF 433” or “LPD 433” [[LPD433|433 MHz / 434 MHz band]] 433-435 MHz and Internet gateways are very common. Си-Би is the term, often 27MHz or 27 МГц is used to refer to the entire band. CB repeaters are often associated with automobile clubs, or “ARC” (“auto-radio club”) organizations.

Note that the “A Band” - or 26.060 MHz - 26.500 MHz on the R channel plan / zeros channels and 26.065 MHz - 26.505 MHz on the standard / European / E channel plan - is sometimes considered part of the Russian CB radio band plan.

Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. ''In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz'' Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modulation. [[SSB]] used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).

'''Common band designations:'''

*B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''C band in the West, low channels'')
*C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band'')
*D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''E band in the West, high channels'')
+
channel number
+
mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")

For example,

*26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
*27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)

''Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.''

Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"

Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.

As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.

Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. [[HF_pagers|paging systems]] (using [[POCSAG]], etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the [[FCC]] Part 95 [[Remote_Control|RCRS]] services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.

Russian CB radio channel usage:

*27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
*27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF) -
*27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
*27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
*27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
*27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
*27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
*27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
*27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)
*27.315 MHz FM - FM calling channel European grid - C31EF (D31EF)
*27.635 MHz FM - Information and traffic channel (some areas only) D19EF (E19EF) - previously used for traffic information broadcasts in St. Petersburg only (service discontinued in 2014)

Recommended Calling Channels - Main Channels:

*27.065 MHz FM - C9EF - Emergency channel
*27.135 MHz AM - C15EA - Truck drivers, highway channel, considered the Russian version of CB Channel 19
*27.185 MHz AM - C19EA - Information channel, secondary to 27.135 MHz - note: AM and FM are both used
*27.185 MHz FM - C19EF - Information channel
*27.190 MHz USB - "Hidden" channel, used for SSB DXing (among others, see also; 27.140 MHz, etc.)
*27.200 MHz FM - C20RF / 20R / 20P - FM calling channel for Russian speaking stations (echo repeaters on this frequency as well)
*27.270 MHz AM - C27RA / 20R / 20P - AM calling channel, QRP (low power) channel

===Belarus CB Radio===

26.960 MHz to 27.860 MHz or 26.965 MHz to 27.855 MHz / 27.865 MHz (some sources say 27.865 MHz). Channel plan appears to mirror that of Russia. 5 watt power limit in AM mode / FM mode. SSB allowed (or at least de facto allowed). Identical plan for 80 channel CB + 80 channel CB (zeros and fives).

Parrot repeaters or echo repeaters (simplex CB radio repeaters) are active in Belarus just like they are active in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe and worldwide. Use of the 25 MHz and lower 26 MHz channels is commonplace as with other CIS / former Soviet countries, 25.610 MHz / 25.615 MHz up to 28 MHz.

===Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands===

CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.

*'''CE''' - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
*'''EU''' - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
*'''F''' - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM
*'''UK''' - UK "27/81" CB Band - 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - UK FM CB 27/81 allocation - UK has 80 available channels - UK + EU
*'''UE''' - UK Full 80 Channels - EU 40 channels + UK FM 40 channels (80 channels), some radios require the user to switch between the two bands
*'''dE''' or '''DE''' - Germany - 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 80 channels, channels 1-40 are AM/FM 4W/4W, same as CE band, channels 41-80 are FM only (4W) 26.565-26.955
*'''I''' - Italy - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 4W AM carrier + 4W FM - same European standard AM/FM band
*'''I2''' - Italy 2 - 26.875 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 34 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W or 40 regular EU channels
*'''PL''' - Poland - 26.960 MHz - 27.400 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W (regular 40 channels -5 kHz)
*'''IN''' - India - 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz - 27 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W

===Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels===

'''Standard 6 band export radio plan.''' All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.

6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.

The related Superstar 120, Superstar 121, President Grant DX, Superstar GR, etc. style radios (120 channel radios, radios with a LOW/MID/HIGH band selector, this includes radios like the Galaxy DX 86V with the C-D-E band switch), plus CB rigs with 120 channel modifications, frequency expansion mods or "channel kits" (including the popular Cobra 29 family of radios, Galaxy DX 919, Galaxy DX 929, Galaxy DX 939, Galaxy DX 949, Galaxy DX 959 / DX 959B, Galaxy DX 979, Texas Ranger rigs, etc.) use the same form factor with either LOW-MID-HIGH band switch or C-D-E covering 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz. Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.

Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.

''Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz.'' '''Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged''', but does occur.

For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).

Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|spectrum]] is allocated to military and government users and the military [[SINCGARS|actually does use]] the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.

99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

===Japan CB Radio Frequencies===
[[AM]] modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.

0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|China]], and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

===Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio===

1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN

26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).

See also: VHF low band [[Japanese 40MHz DSB Fishery Radio|40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service]]

The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.

Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter [[Amateur_radio|ham (amateur radio) band]] have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same [[11_meter|25-30 MHz region]].

===Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio===

In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard [[VHF marine]] band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

===China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio ===

People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.

Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.

Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).

Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).

'''Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.''' Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to ''not'' be Chinese. '''These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets. '''

The FT-801 Dedicated Fisheries Radio - Shishi Feitong Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. includes the following capabilities:

*'''SPECIFICATIONS'''
*27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM transmit and receive frequency range
*25 kHz channel spacing (12.5 kHz channel spacing in "export mode" or "extra channels" mode)
*480 channels
*FM modulation - 16K0F3E / 16K0G3E emission

*Receive urgent sea condition and weather forecast news.
*Full channel or memory channel scan function.
*Fishery dedicated communication channel.
*Dual channel multi-watch receive function.
*World time clock and timer display function.
*Built-in GPS module function.
*Display navigation data functions

''This system does appear to go through the [[Amateur_radio|10 meter amateur band]] - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.''

===Asia China Chinese Taiwan R.O.C. South China Sea 26 MHz / 27 MHz Fisheries AM Fishery Fishing Radio 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz ===

The FT-801 radio discussed above (as part of the 27.5 MHz - 39.5 MHz Chinese fisheries radio network) is also available as the FT-801B, which instead of covering 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz with FM voice and data modes, covers 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz with AM voice. Other sources indicate 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz. Note the differences in specifications compared to the FT-801 version. No channel / frequency steps listed, unable to locate an actual channel plan, only the 26.475 - 27.27 MHz frequency coverage. 20 channels is listed, and it appears that the radio provides a channel display instead of frequency display. See the 26.105MHz to 27.985MHz allocation available offshore fishery radio in Thailand below.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.

The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.

Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).

===Thailand 27 MHz Marine Maritime CB Radio Communications ===

Note that some radios have two bands for Thailand - Thai 27 MHz CB. One of bands covers the 26.105MHz - 27.985MHz 168 channel band discussed below, the other follows the 26.065MHz - 28.755MHz 240 channel modified [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|export radio]] band plan. The 26065 kHz - 28755 kHz band plan moves the A-B-C-D-E-F band plan up one band, so the legal 26.965MHz - 27.405MHz band is "Band C" instead of "Band D". It also means that more frequencies within the 10 meter amateur radio band are available for unlicensed CB use.

===South Africa (27 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] and [[SSB]] (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.

''Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed mobile]] and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.''

===South Africa (29 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] on all channels. [[SSB]] only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz non-standard '''12.5 kHz''' channel spacing.

Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).

29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).

This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both [[Remote_Control#Australia|Australia]] and [[Remote_Control#New_Zealand|New Zealand]].

Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

===India 27 channel 27MHz CB===
[[AM]] and [[FM]] modes allowed. Shared with the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]]. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if [[SSB]] is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz - often expressed as 26.96 MHz - 27.28 MHz.

Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] and [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|UHF]] services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band [[350_MHz_Short_Range_Radio|SRR Short Range Radio]]. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select. 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz and 27.195 MHz RC/data/short range low power frequencies are skipped, as per the standard 40 channel CB radio band plan.

'''''IND08''' - Use of wireless equipments intended to be used while in motion or during halts, in the frequency band 26.957 MHz - 27.283 MHz (same as the 27 MHz [[ISM]] band), with a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 5 Watts has been exempted from licensing requirements.''

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters===

25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.

All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters Automatic Relay Recommended Channels Frequencies===

'''Use of CTCSS tone squelch is mandatory'''. FM mode. Recommended channels frequencies for automatic relay / parrot repeaters. Radios such as the President Washington with built in automatic relay and CTCSS / DCS as well as split operation have this capability.

===CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services===

Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or [[VHF / UHF Radio]] services such as [[PMR446]], [[LPD433]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]] services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.

Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz Italian "VHF CB"]] equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.

===CB Repeater Listing - Simplex Repeaters===

''Below is a list of confirmed '''as of May 2026''' CB repeaters and their location (if known).''

Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.

There are a ''lot'' of these in Russia. The Russians call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [https://cb-radio.ru/ARK.pdf] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [https://cb-radio.ru/]

===General Overview ===

[[CB Savage|Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio"]] for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the [[11_meter|25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz)]] range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the [[Main Page|HF]] band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range [[VHF / UHF Radio]] service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "[[11_meter|11 meters]]".

CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services such as [[FRS]]/[[GMRS]] and [[MURS]]. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|militias]] and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, [[HF pagers|for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems]], and [[Remote_Control|low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control)]] purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed [[Business Radio]] Services.

Many [[ham radio]] operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.

CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "[[Steve_Anderson|preppers]]" and [[United_Patriot_Radio|survivalists]], in addition to amateur radio and [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|VHF/UHF services]] such as [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[VHF marine]], etc.

A large radio subculture relating to [[Splatterbox|illegally modifying]] CB equipment, using so-called "[[CB#CB_Radio_10_Meter_Radio_Export_Radio_Images_Gallery|export radios]]" or "[[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|10 meter]] radios" or modifying [[amateur radio]] equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than [[Piss weak|legal]] power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.

CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to '''all''' radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"

===CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio===

-'''Do truckers still use CB radios?''' Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.

-'''Is it legal to use FM on CB radio?''' Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, [[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels.
See Part 95 Subpart D [[FCC]] rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS [[Emission_Designator|emission]] types.

-'''Some CB radios are advertised as having P-Channels - what are the P-Channels?''' President CB radios with FM and CTCSS/DCS capability are now being shipped with preprogrammed P-Channels or P Channels. These are hard programmed channels (in [[FM]] mode) with a CTCSS tone or DCS code (selective calling) already set up, allowing for interference free communications without having to program CTCSS (PL) or DCS (DPL). 5 P-channels P1 P2 P3 P4 and P5 appear to be in use as of late 2025. List of CB radio P-Channels is below:

*Channel P1 - 26.965 MHz FM 94.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P2 - 26.985 MHz FM D073N [073 DCS]
*Channel P3 - 27.085 MHz FM 131.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P4 - 27.175 MHz FM D654N [654 DCS]
*Channel P5 - 27.235 MHz FM 203.5 Hz CTCSS

In other words - P-Channels List Chart CB Radios CTCSS DCS

*P Channel 1 is CB Radio Channel 1 FM with 94.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 2 is CB Radio Channel 3 FM with 073 DPL
*P Channel 3 is CB Radio Channel 11 FM with 131.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 4 is CB Radio Channel 18 FM with 654 DPL
*P Channel 5 is CB Radio Channel 24 FM with 203.5 Hz PL

-'''Are 23 channel CB radios illegal?''' No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.

-'''Is CB HF?''' sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.

-'''Is CB 11 meters?''' Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|the freeband frequencies]], the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz).

Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common as Chinese radios such as the AnyTone Smart, AnyTone AT5555, AnyTone AT6666 and numerous others including the AnyTone Ares II (Radioditty QT50), Anysecu CB-40M AR-925 and many others. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.

-'''What are the freeband CB radio frequencies?''' - See [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|the freeband 10 meter CB radio channel frequency chart below]], see also: the [[11_meter|11 meter]] frequencies [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|page]].

===Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War===

The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. [[SINCGARS|Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB]]. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).

The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying [[VHF / UHF Radio|"VHF"]] was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.

An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.

The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.

German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up
To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).

The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.

Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.

===Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond===

The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter [[amateur radio]] band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.

On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).

The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).

Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.

Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.

Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.

When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.

CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E [[Ionosphere|propagation]]. During band openings, however, [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|skip]] propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|DXing]] at modest power levels can be realized.

===CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"===

CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).

Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.

===Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?===

Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies ''below'' CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around '''26.915 MHz''' (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.

SSB operators usually operate ''above'' CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.430 MHz]], [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.450 MHz]], 27.460 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.490]] MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being '''27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency'''. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency '''26.285 MHz USB'''), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).

In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.

With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the [[11_meter|11 meter]] band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the [[Bust|law (technically)]] but [[FCC|enforcement]] is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.

===Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands===

'''Further information may be found on the pages for [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies|freeband CB 11 meter frequencies]], including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz]].'''

''By its very nature, the 11 meter band, the freeband, 11 meter free band, outbanding, operating out of band, the 11 meter band, 11 meters, whatever you want to call it, is dynamic. '''Therefore, no list, including this one, can ever be complete.''' Many of the frequencies listed below are the result of "gentleman's agreements" and there are plenty of exceptions. One of the things that attracts radio operators to working DX on 11 meters / the CB bands is the more laid back atmosphere of 11 meters compared to [[Amateur_radio|amateur radio]]. ''

'''Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.'''

''While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.''

===Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum===

Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, [[HF marine]] and [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|FM land mobile]]. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.

'''Please see the 25-30 MHz users page [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|NTIA allocations]] for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.'''

===CB Channel Plans===

The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. [[HF_pagers|The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included)]]. These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the [[FCC]] rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the [[Remote_Control|R/C channels]], but it is shared with CB.

[[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] Modulation in the United States. US FCC [[CB_Radio|CB Radio]] Service (CBRS) regulations require all CB radios to have AM mode capability as the standard mode. In other words, all CB radios operate in AM mode by default. This ensures backward compatibility between all 27 MHz CB radios. Identical rules and regulations in Canada, where it is officially called the General Radio Service (specialized trucking companies in some parts of Canada also use the [[VHF_LADD|VHF Resource Road]] frequencies (LADD channels) in addition to standard 27 MHz CB radio equipment).

SSB and/or FM are optional in the United States. If the radio is equipped with SSB capability, it must at least be able to use the upper side band. SSB CB equipment is capable of LSB and USB. FCC rules allow 4 watt AM carrier power, 4 watt FM power and 12 watt PEP SSB power.

Bandwidth limits are 8 kHz for AM mode ('''8K00A3E'''), 8 kHz for FM ('''8K00F3E'''), and 4 kHz for SSB. SSB with carrier ('''4K00H3E'''), SSB with reduced carrier ('''4K00R3E'''), and true SSB without carrier ('''4K00J3E''') are allowed. Use of selective calling systems, including tone-based selective calling such as DTMF, ANI, etc. as well as CTCSS tone squelch (PL) and DCS coded squelch (DPL) are permitted.

In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe. In the Americas, Australia and a few other places, AM mode is the standard mode.

CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.

''For users operating on the 40+40 CB channels, the "center frequency" for antenna tuning that is generally used is 27.48 MHz or 27.500 MHz.''

MPT 1320 - original CB 27/81 regulations MPT 1333, MPT 1382 (for UK 27/81 UK FM CB). Because of the original MPT1320 specification, the 27/81 channels are sometimes referred to as the "Muppets" or "Muppets Channels".

FM with '''2.5 kHz maximum deviation''' is the ''only mode allowed'' on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz. Emission designators 11K3F3E - 12K5F3E. Most radios limit deviation to 2 kHz so 8-10 kHz bandwidth - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the [[Community Audio Distribution Service]] (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).

The UK allows use AM, FM and SSB on the 40-channel European standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CEPT "mid band" or "EC" allocation UK GB CB PR 27/97 (same as US frequencies) in addition to the frequencies listed below. The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.

See below for the WPAS and CADS frequency listing (26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, 27.600 MHz to 27.995 MHz).

The 27.6 MHz to 28.0 MHz allocation overlaps with CADS/WPAS and other services in various countries outside the UK, [[HF_pagers|including paging/telemetry]], [[Remote_Control#Spain|long range]] [[Remote_Control#Switzerland|wireless control and land mobile services]] used in [[Remote_Control#Czech_Republic|several]] other [[Remote_Control#European_Standardization_EU_or_CEPT|European]] countries, [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|various]] marine / [[HF_marine|maritime mobile]] radio [[CB#Thailand_27_MHz_Marine_Maritime_CB_Radio_Communications|services]] and other voice and data [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed and mobile]] services.

In Ireland, there are three sets of 40 channels available,

the 40 regular CEPT/EC/EU European mid band FM frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz (FM and AM allowed) - '''CB01 to CB40'''

the 40 UK FM 27/81 "muppets" band (with the last two digits cut off, so 27.601 MHz - 27.991 MHz instead of 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz, FM and AM allowed on those 40 channels, '''LW01 to LW40''' channel frequency designators

the Ireland-specific '''UW01 to UW40''' channels, which are 27.605 MHz to 27.995 MHz, straight 10 kHz spacing. In other words, the UK FM CB channels +3.75 kHz offset. AM and FM modes are allowed.

The LW and UW channels overlap with each other and occupy the same frequency spectrum 27.6 MHz to 28 MHz 27600 kHz to 28000 kHz. The CB01 to CB40 channels overlap with the CB radio service 26965 kHz to 27405 kHz (full band 26960 kHz to 27410 kHz). The 27410 kHz to 27595 kHz spectrum is not included in the allocation, but frequencies in that section are still sometimes used, as are the Polish / Russian -5 kHz "zeros" eg. 27.000 MHz instead of 27.005 MHz, 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz, and so on.

===German, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian "Auxiliary" channels 41-80===
80 Channel CB radio. '''DE''' mode on multi-norm CB radios.

[[FM]] modulation only in '''Germany''', '''Czech Republic''', '''Slovakia''' and '''Hungary''' on channels 41-80. AM, FM and SSB are allowed channels 1-40, while radios are supposed to switch to FM mode only (4 watt power limit) for the 26.565-26.955 MHz portion.

2 kHz FM deviation limit, 8 kHz bandwidth limit in AM and FM mode.
[[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Digital_Modes_ROS_PSK31_CW_SSTV_Channels|Digital modes allowed on specified channels]] (26.675 MHz, 26.685 MHz, 26.915 MHz and 26.925 MHz) in Germany - channels 52, 53, 76 and 77.
Designated channels 41-80 (channels 1-40 are the [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|US/CEPT standardized channels]]). Full 80 channel allocation 26.565 MHz to 27.405 MHz or 26.560 MHz to 27.410 MHz. Shared with [[HF_pagers|paging services]], fixed [[Remote_Control#Russia|links]], remote control (RC), on-campus voice and/or [[POCSAG|data]] pagers and the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]], especially in border areas.

Czech regulations specify that data transmission between CB stations is permitted on channels 24, 25, 52, 53, 76 and 77. F1D, F2D, G1D, G2D, J1D, J2D, A1D and A2D [[Emission_Designator|emissions (modes)]] are permitted. [[Remote_Control|Remote control]] transmitters are allowed on channels 18 and 23.

Czech regulations specify that remote base stations (gateways or hotspots networks) linked repeaters via multiple locations stations on frequencies 26.755 MHz FM, 26.815 MHz FM, 26.835 MHz FM, 26.845 MHz FM, 26.855 MHz FM, 26.865 MHz FM, 26.875 MHz FM, 26.885 MHz FM and 26.935 MHz, FM frequencies assigned to channels 60, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 78. Use of CTCSS or DCS is '''strongly''' encouraged to allow sharing of frequencies by users who do not wish to access the linked hotspot (Internet link) networks.

Simplex repeaters are legally only permitted on channel 18 and channel 23 per Czech regulations (27.175 MHz and 27.255 MHz).

The Czech Republic places restrictions on which frequencies may be used for linked remote base station hotspot connections (linked repeater networks). Germany does not restrict this to specific channels, and Slovakia also allows the same 80 channel band plan. However, there are restrictions on base stations, linked remote base stations and CB repeaters being located less than 15km from the borders of Poland and Austria.

===Italian I2 Band Italy CB I2 34 Channel CB 26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz===

'''Not to be confused with the Italian [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz VHF]] low band "[[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] CB" band. '''

Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.

'''Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan.''' Channels 24 and 25 are out of sequence. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band.

Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz.

'''While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common.''' Channels 26-34 overlap with [[CB#German.2C_Czech_and_Hungarian_.22Auxiliary.22_channels_41-80|German]] 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "[[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|low channels]]".

===Australian 27 MHz Marine CB===

'''Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service''' or "27 MEG", more commonly known as 27 MHz marine band. Some radios include provisions for additional "private" channels in the 27 MHz range, in between 27.68 MHz and 27.98 MHz, eg. 27.75 MHz, [[CB#Japanese_27MHz_Double_Side_Band_DSB_Marine_Fishery_Radio|27.78 MHz]], etc.

'''Australian regulators plan on phasing the 27MHz marine radios out as far as emergency equipment goes. Those same regulators still list 27-MHz ch88 or 27.88MHz as one of the recognized and monitored emergency / calling / distress frequencies. '''

[[AM]] mode. 8K00A3E emission. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.

Some stations use these frequencies - usually 27880 kHz / 27.88 MHz and then either 27910 kHz / 27.91 MHz or 27940 kHz / 27.94 MHz for '''Marine Safety Information (MSI)''' broadcasts. For more information see [[Maritime_Weather_Transmissions#List_of_voice_.28SSB.29_Maritime_Weather_Transmissions|the page on maritime weather transmissions]].

27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular.

40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz). AM, USB and LSB are allowed on all 40 of the 27MHz channels. AM/SSB is permitted on 26MHz channel 1 to channel 17 and channel 25 to channel 40. Channels 18 to 24 are [[AM]] mode only.

[[AM]] and [[SSB]] modulation. The '''CBH''' channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or [[UHF CB]] allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

26 MHz AM Public Channels:

*Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.33 MHz to 26.53 MHz and 26.61 MHz to 26.77 MHz)
*Channels 18 to 24 are for '''AM only''' (26.54 MHz to 26.6 MHz)
*Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.45 MHz AM)
*Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.5 MHz AM)
*Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.72 MHz LSB mode)

''Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.''

''NZ 26 MHz CB skips the 5 "A" channels, in this case they are 26.36 MHz, 26.41 MHz, 26.46 MHz, 26.51 MHz and 26.56 MHz.''

New Zealand is close enough to Asia that interference from fishing fleet radio chatter, fishnet buoys, radio buoys, etc. can be a significant problem. 26330 kHz - 26770 kHz, 26965 kHz - 27405 kHz.

New Zealand previously had a 14 channel allocation in the same 26MHz band 26.425 MHz to 26.75 MHz, using 25 kHz spacing. Several of the original channels overlap with the current allocation.

*Old Channel 1 - 26.425 MHz
*Old Channel 2 - 26.450 MHz - now channel 11
*Old Channel 3 - 26.475 MHz
*Old Channel 4 - 26.500 MHz - now channel 15
*Old Channel 5 - 26.525 MHz
*Old Channel 6 - 26.550 MHz - now channel 19
*Old Channel 7 - 26.575 MHz
*Old Channel 8 - 26.600 MHz - now channel 24
*Old Channel 9 - 26.625 MHz
*Old Channel 10 - 26.650 MHz - now channel 28
*Old Channel 11 - 26.675 MHz
*Old Channel 12 - 26.700 MHz - now channel 33
*Old Channel 13 - 26.725 MHz
*Old Channel 14 - 26.750 MHz - now channel 38

===Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB===

26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.

These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

===Russian CB Channel Frequencies===

Use of the full 25.615 MHz - [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|30.105 MHz]] export radio coverage (24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz) is widespread in Russia, including channels that fall within the 28MHz [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] / 10 meter [[amateur radio]] [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] 28.000 MHz - 29.700 MHz.

CB Repeaters, [[CB#CB_Repeater_Listing|simplex repeaters]], cross-band links to other VHF/UHF [[River_Portable_Radio_300_MHz_-_344_MHz|services]] (usually the “UHF 433” or “LPD 433” [[LPD433|433 MHz / 434 MHz band]] 433-435 MHz and Internet gateways are very common. Си-Би is the term, often 27MHz or 27 МГц is used to refer to the entire band. CB repeaters are often associated with automobile clubs, or “ARC” (“auto-radio club”) organizations.

Note that the “A Band” - or 26.060 MHz - 26.500 MHz on the R channel plan / zeros channels and 26.065 MHz - 26.505 MHz on the standard / European / E channel plan - is sometimes considered part of the Russian CB radio band plan.

Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. ''In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz'' Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modulation. [[SSB]] used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).

'''Common band designations:'''

*B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''C band in the West, low channels'')
*C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band'')
*D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''E band in the West, high channels'')
+
channel number
+
mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")

For example,

*26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
*27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)

''Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.''

Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"

Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.

As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.

Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. [[HF_pagers|paging systems]] (using [[POCSAG]], etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the [[FCC]] Part 95 [[Remote_Control|RCRS]] services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.

Russian CB radio channel usage:

*27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
*27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF) -
*27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
*27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
*27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
*27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
*27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
*27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
*27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)

===Belarus CB Radio===

26.960 MHz to 27.860 MHz or 26.965 MHz to 27.855 MHz / 27.865 MHz (some sources say 27.865 MHz). Channel plan appears to mirror that of Russia. 5 watt power limit in AM mode / FM mode. SSB allowed (or at least de facto allowed). Identical plan for 80 channel CB + 80 channel CB (zeros and fives).

Parrot repeaters or echo repeaters (simplex CB radio repeaters) are active in Belarus just like they are active in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe and worldwide. Use of the 25 MHz and lower 26 MHz channels is commonplace as with other CIS / former Soviet countries, 25.610 MHz / 25.615 MHz up to 28 MHz.

===Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands===

CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.

*'''CE''' - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
*'''EU''' - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
*'''F''' - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM
*'''UK''' - UK "27/81" CB Band - 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - UK FM CB 27/81 allocation - UK has 80 available channels - UK + EU
*'''UE''' - UK Full 80 Channels - EU 40 channels + UK FM 40 channels (80 channels), some radios require the user to switch between the two bands
*'''dE''' or '''DE''' - Germany - 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 80 channels, channels 1-40 are AM/FM 4W/4W, same as CE band, channels 41-80 are FM only (4W) 26.565-26.955
*'''I''' - Italy - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 4W AM carrier + 4W FM - same European standard AM/FM band
*'''I2''' - Italy 2 - 26.875 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 34 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W or 40 regular EU channels
*'''PL''' - Poland - 26.960 MHz - 27.400 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W (regular 40 channels -5 kHz)
*'''IN''' - India - 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz - 27 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W

===Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels===

'''Standard 6 band export radio plan.''' All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.

6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.

The related Superstar 120, Superstar 121, President Grant DX, Superstar GR, etc. style radios (120 channel radios, radios with a LOW/MID/HIGH band selector, this includes radios like the Galaxy DX 86V with the C-D-E band switch), plus CB rigs with 120 channel modifications, frequency expansion mods or "channel kits" (including the popular Cobra 29 family of radios, Galaxy DX 919, Galaxy DX 929, Galaxy DX 939, Galaxy DX 949, Galaxy DX 959 / DX 959B, Galaxy DX 979, Texas Ranger rigs, etc.) use the same form factor with either LOW-MID-HIGH band switch or C-D-E covering 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz. Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.

Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.

''Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz.'' '''Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged''', but does occur.

For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).

Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|spectrum]] is allocated to military and government users and the military [[SINCGARS|actually does use]] the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.

99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

===Japan CB Radio Frequencies===
[[AM]] modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.

0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|China]], and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

===Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio===

1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN

26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).

See also: VHF low band [[Japanese 40MHz DSB Fishery Radio|40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service]]

The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.

Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter [[Amateur_radio|ham (amateur radio) band]] have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same [[11_meter|25-30 MHz region]].

===Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio===

In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard [[VHF marine]] band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

===China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio ===

People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.

Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.

Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).

Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).

'''Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.''' Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to ''not'' be Chinese. '''These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets. '''

The FT-801 Dedicated Fisheries Radio - Shishi Feitong Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. includes the following capabilities:

*'''SPECIFICATIONS'''
*27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM transmit and receive frequency range
*25 kHz channel spacing (12.5 kHz channel spacing in "export mode" or "extra channels" mode)

''This system does appear to go through the [[Amateur_radio|10 meter amateur band]] - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.''

===Asia China Chinese Taiwan R.O.C. South China Sea 26 MHz / 27 MHz Fisheries AM Fishery Fishing Radio 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz ===

The FT-801 radio discussed above (as part of the 27.5 MHz - 39.5 MHz Chinese fisheries radio network) is also available as the FT-801B, which instead of covering 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz with FM voice and data modes, covers 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz with AM voice. Other sources indicate 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz. Note the differences in specifications compared to the FT-801 version. No channel / frequency steps listed, unable to locate an actual channel plan, only the 26.475 - 27.27 MHz frequency coverage. 20 channels is listed, and it appears that the radio provides a channel display instead of frequency display. See the 26.105MHz to 27.985MHz allocation available offshore fishery radio in Thailand below.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.

The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.

Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).

===Thailand 27 MHz Marine Maritime CB Radio Communications ===

Note that some radios have two bands for Thailand - Thai 27 MHz CB. One of bands covers the 26.105MHz - 27.985MHz 168 channel band discussed below, the other follows the 26.065MHz - 28.755MHz 240 channel modified [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|export radio]] band plan. The 26065 kHz - 28755 kHz band plan moves the A-B-C-D-E-F band plan up one band, so the legal 26.965MHz - 27.405MHz band is "Band C" instead of "Band D". It also means that more frequencies within the 10 meter amateur radio band are available for unlicensed CB use.

===South Africa (27 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] and [[SSB]] (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.

''Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed mobile]] and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.''

===South Africa (29 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] on all channels. [[SSB]] only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz non-standard '''12.5 kHz''' channel spacing.

Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).

29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).

This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both [[Remote_Control#Australia|Australia]] and [[Remote_Control#New_Zealand|New Zealand]].

Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

===India 27 channel 27MHz CB===
[[AM]] and [[FM]] modes allowed. Shared with the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]]. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if [[SSB]] is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz - often expressed as 26.96 MHz - 27.28 MHz.

Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] and [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|UHF]] services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band [[350_MHz_Short_Range_Radio|SRR Short Range Radio]]. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select. 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz and 27.195 MHz RC/data/short range low power frequencies are skipped, as per the standard 40 channel CB radio band plan.

'''''IND08''' - Use of wireless equipments intended to be used while in motion or during halts, in the frequency band 26.957 MHz - 27.283 MHz (same as the 27 MHz [[ISM]] band), with a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 5 Watts has been exempted from licensing requirements.''

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters===

25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.

All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters Automatic Relay Recommended Channels Frequencies===

'''Use of CTCSS tone squelch is mandatory'''. FM mode. Recommended channels frequencies for automatic relay / parrot repeaters. Radios such as the President Washington with built in automatic relay and CTCSS / DCS as well as split operation have this capability.

===CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services===

Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or [[VHF / UHF Radio]] services such as [[PMR446]], [[LPD433]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]] services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.

Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz Italian "VHF CB"]] equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.

===CB Repeater Listing - Simplex Repeaters===

''Below is a list of confirmed '''as of May 2026''' CB repeaters and their location (if known).''

Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.

There are a ''lot'' of these in Russia. The Russians call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [https://cb-radio.ru/ARK.pdf] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [https://cb-radio.ru/]

("'''Class C'''" is the [[Remote_Control#RC_Transmitter_Regulations_-_Part_15.2C_Part_95_and_Part_97|RCRS]], "'''Class A'''" is now [[GMRS]] and [[FRS]] on [[VHF / UHF Radio|UHF]] and [[MURS]] on [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF]].). 27 MHz band, aka the 25-30 MHz band, 26-28 MHz band or the [[11_meter|11 meter band, 11 meters]].

'''See the HFUnderground CB 11 meter and 10 meter forum here:

[https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/board,15.0.html 10/11 Meter Forum at HF Underground]'''

===General Overview ===

[[CB Savage|Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio"]] for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the [[11_meter|25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz)]] range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the [[Main Page|HF]] band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range [[VHF / UHF Radio]] service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "[[11_meter|11 meters]]".

CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of [[VHF / UHF Radio|VHF/UHF]] services such as [[FRS]]/[[GMRS]] and [[MURS]]. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|militias]] and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, [[HF pagers|for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems]], and [[Remote_Control|low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control)]] purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed [[Business Radio]] Services.

Many [[ham radio]] operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.

CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "[[Steve_Anderson|preppers]]" and [[United_Patriot_Radio|survivalists]], in addition to amateur radio and [[Militia_Radio_Frequencies|VHF/UHF services]] such as [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[VHF marine]], etc.

A large radio subculture relating to [[Splatterbox|illegally modifying]] CB equipment, using so-called "[[CB#CB_Radio_10_Meter_Radio_Export_Radio_Images_Gallery|export radios]]" or "[[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|10 meter]] radios" or modifying [[amateur radio]] equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than [[Piss weak|legal]] power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.

CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to '''all''' radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"

See [[CB#CB_Channel_Plans|here]] for 27 MHz CB radio channel plans, bands, etc. See [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] for 11 meter band 25-30 MHz band frequency allocations, legal users and illegal users.

===CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio===

-'''Do truckers still use CB radios?''' Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.

-'''Is it legal to use FM on CB radio?''' Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, [[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels.
See Part 95 Subpart D [[FCC]] rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS [[Emission_Designator|emission]] types.

-'''Some CB radios are advertised as having P-Channels - what are the P-Channels?''' President CB radios with FM and CTCSS/DCS capability are now being shipped with preprogrammed P-Channels or P Channels. These are hard programmed channels (in [[FM]] mode) with a CTCSS tone or DCS code (selective calling) already set up, allowing for interference free communications without having to program CTCSS (PL) or DCS (DPL). 5 P-channels P1 P2 P3 P4 and P5 appear to be in use as of late 2025. List of CB radio P-Channels is below:

*Channel P1 - 26.965 MHz FM 94.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P2 - 26.985 MHz FM D073N [073 DCS]
*Channel P3 - 27.085 MHz FM 131.8 Hz CTCSS
*Channel P4 - 27.175 MHz FM D654N [654 DCS]
*Channel P5 - 27.235 MHz FM 203.5 Hz CTCSS

In other words - P-Channels List Chart CB Radios CTCSS DCS

*P Channel 1 is CB Radio Channel 1 FM with 94.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 2 is CB Radio Channel 3 FM with 073 DPL
*P Channel 3 is CB Radio Channel 11 FM with 131.8 Hz PL
*P Channel 4 is CB Radio Channel 18 FM with 654 DPL
*P Channel 5 is CB Radio Channel 24 FM with 203.5 Hz PL

-'''Are 23 channel CB radios illegal?''' No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.

-'''Is CB HF?''' sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.

-'''Is CB 11 meters?''' Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|the freeband frequencies]], the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz).

Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common as Chinese radios such as the AnyTone Smart, AnyTone AT5555, AnyTone AT6666 and numerous others including the AnyTone Ares II (Radioditty QT50), Anysecu CB-40M AR-925 and many others. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.

-'''What are the freeband CB radio frequencies?''' - See [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|the freeband 10 meter CB radio channel frequency chart below]], see also: the [[11_meter|11 meter]] frequencies [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies_-_Guide_to_11m_Frequencies_Guide_to_11_meter_DX_calling_frequencies|page]].

===Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War===

The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. [[SINCGARS|Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB]]. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).

The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying [[VHF / UHF Radio|"VHF"]] was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.

An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.

The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.

German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up
To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).

The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.

Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.

===Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond===

The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter [[amateur radio]] band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.

On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).

The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).

Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.

Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.

Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.

When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.

CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E [[Ionosphere|propagation]]. During band openings, however, [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|skip]] propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and [[DXing#Shortwave_DX|DXing]] at modest power levels can be realized.

===CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"===

CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).

Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.

===Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?===

Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies ''below'' CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around '''26.915 MHz''' (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.

SSB operators usually operate ''above'' CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.430 MHz]], [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.450 MHz]], 27.460 MHz, [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|27.490]] MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being '''27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency'''. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency '''26.285 MHz USB'''), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).

In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.

With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the [[11_meter|11 meter]] band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the [[Bust|law (technically)]] but [[FCC|enforcement]] is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.

===Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands===

'''Further information may be found on the pages for [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequencies|freeband CB 11 meter frequencies]], including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and [[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_Frequency_Ranges_Bands|freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz]].'''

''By its very nature, the 11 meter band, the freeband, 11 meter free band, outbanding, operating out of band, the 11 meter band, 11 meters, whatever you want to call it, is dynamic. '''Therefore, no list, including this one, can ever be complete.''' Many of the frequencies listed below are the result of "gentleman's agreements" and there are plenty of exceptions. One of the things that attracts radio operators to working DX on 11 meters / the CB bands is the more laid back atmosphere of 11 meters compared to [[Amateur_radio|amateur radio]]. ''

'''Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.'''

''While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.''

===Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum===

Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, [[HF marine]] and [[Business_Radio#VHF_Low_Band_25-50_MHz|FM land mobile]]. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.

'''Please see the 25-30 MHz users page [[11_meter#Legal_Users_of_the_25-30_MHz_Spectrum|here]] on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|NTIA allocations]] for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.'''

===CB Channel Plans===

The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. [[HF_pagers|The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included)]]. These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the [[FCC]] rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the [[Remote_Control|R/C channels]], but it is shared with CB.

[[AM]], [[FM]] and [[SSB]] Modulation in the United States. US FCC [[CB_Radio|CB Radio]] Service (CBRS) regulations require all CB radios to have AM mode capability as the standard mode. In other words, all CB radios operate in AM mode by default. This ensures backward compatibility between all 27 MHz CB radios. Identical rules and regulations in Canada, where it is officially called the General Radio Service (specialized trucking companies in some parts of Canada also use the [[VHF_LADD|VHF Resource Road]] frequencies (LADD channels) in addition to standard 27 MHz CB radio equipment).

SSB and/or FM are optional in the United States. If the radio is equipped with SSB capability, it must at least be able to use the upper side band. SSB CB equipment is capable of LSB and USB. FCC rules allow 4 watt AM carrier power, 4 watt FM power and 12 watt PEP SSB power.

Bandwidth limits are 8 kHz for AM mode ('''8K00A3E'''), 8 kHz for FM ('''8K00F3E'''), and 4 kHz for SSB. SSB with carrier ('''4K00H3E'''), SSB with reduced carrier ('''4K00R3E'''), and true SSB without carrier ('''4K00J3E''') are allowed. Use of selective calling systems, including tone-based selective calling such as DTMF, ANI, etc. as well as CTCSS tone squelch (PL) and DCS coded squelch (DPL) are permitted.

In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe. In the Americas, Australia and a few other places, AM mode is the standard mode.

CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.

Narrow band [[FM|FM (Frequency Modulation) only. PM (phase modulation)]] also allowed - narrow band phase modulation, so [[Emission_Designator|F3E and G3E]]. Use of tone squelch and digital tone squelch - CTCSS and DCS are allowed on the UK FM channels and the European 40 (mid band FM, CE band, EU band, etc.). Radios with CTCSS and DCS capability are slowly penetrating the market in the UK and Europe.

''The maximum operating [[11_meter|frequency band]] shall be from 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz for the 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz UK band and 26.960 MHz to 27.410 MHz for the 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] (European standard band).''

''For users operating on the 40+40 CB channels, the "center frequency" for antenna tuning that is generally used is 27.48 MHz or 27.500 MHz.''

MPT 1320 - original CB 27/81 regulations MPT 1333, MPT 1382 (for UK 27/81 UK FM CB). Because of the original MPT1320 specification, the 27/81 channels are sometimes referred to as the "Muppets" or "Muppets Channels".

FM with '''2.5 kHz maximum deviation''' is the ''only mode allowed'' on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz. Emission designators 11K3F3E - 12K5F3E. Most radios limit deviation to 2 kHz so 8-10 kHz bandwidth - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the [[Community Audio Distribution Service]] (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).

The UK allows use AM, FM and SSB on the 40-channel European standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CEPT "mid band" or "EC" allocation UK GB CB PR 27/97 (same as US frequencies) in addition to the frequencies listed below. The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.

See below for the WPAS and CADS frequency listing (26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, 27.600 MHz to 27.995 MHz).

The 27.6 MHz to 28.0 MHz allocation overlaps with CADS/WPAS and other services in various countries outside the UK, [[HF_pagers|including paging/telemetry]], [[Remote_Control#Spain|long range]] [[Remote_Control#Switzerland|wireless control and land mobile services]] used in [[Remote_Control#Czech_Republic|several]] other [[Remote_Control#European_Standardization_EU_or_CEPT|European]] countries, [[CB#Australian_27_MHz_Marine_CB|various]] marine / [[HF_marine|maritime mobile]] radio [[CB#Thailand_27_MHz_Marine_Maritime_CB_Radio_Communications|services]] and other voice and data [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed and mobile]] services.

In Ireland, there are three sets of 40 channels available,

the 40 regular CEPT/EC/EU European mid band FM frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz (FM and AM allowed) - '''CB01 to CB40'''

the 40 UK FM 27/81 "muppets" band (with the last two digits cut off, so 27.601 MHz - 27.991 MHz instead of 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz, FM and AM allowed on those 40 channels, '''LW01 to LW40''' channel frequency designators

the Ireland-specific '''UW01 to UW40''' channels, which are 27.605 MHz to 27.995 MHz, straight 10 kHz spacing. In other words, the UK FM CB channels +3.75 kHz offset. AM and FM modes are allowed.

The LW and UW channels overlap with each other and occupy the same frequency spectrum 27.6 MHz to 28 MHz 27600 kHz to 28000 kHz. The CB01 to CB40 channels overlap with the CB radio service 26965 kHz to 27405 kHz (full band 26960 kHz to 27410 kHz). The 27410 kHz to 27595 kHz spectrum is not included in the allocation, but frequencies in that section are still sometimes used, as are the Polish / Russian -5 kHz "zeros" eg. 27.000 MHz instead of 27.005 MHz, 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz, and so on.

===German, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian "Auxiliary" channels 41-80===
80 Channel CB radio. '''DE''' mode on multi-norm CB radios.

[[FM]] modulation only in '''Germany''', '''Czech Republic''', '''Slovakia''' and '''Hungary''' on channels 41-80. AM, FM and SSB are allowed channels 1-40, while radios are supposed to switch to FM mode only (4 watt power limit) for the 26.565-26.955 MHz portion.

2 kHz FM deviation limit, 8 kHz bandwidth limit in AM and FM mode.
[[11_meter#Freeband_11_Meter_and_CB_Digital_Modes_ROS_PSK31_CW_SSTV_Channels|Digital modes allowed on specified channels]] (26.675 MHz, 26.685 MHz, 26.915 MHz and 26.925 MHz) in Germany - channels 52, 53, 76 and 77.
Designated channels 41-80 (channels 1-40 are the [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|US/CEPT standardized channels]]). Full 80 channel allocation 26.565 MHz to 27.405 MHz or 26.560 MHz to 27.410 MHz. Shared with [[HF_pagers|paging services]], fixed [[Remote_Control#Russia|links]], remote control (RC), on-campus voice and/or [[POCSAG|data]] pagers and the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]], especially in border areas.

Czech regulations specify that data transmission between CB stations is permitted on channels 24, 25, 52, 53, 76 and 77. F1D, F2D, G1D, G2D, J1D, J2D, A1D and A2D [[Emission_Designator|emissions (modes)]] are permitted. [[Remote_Control|Remote control]] transmitters are allowed on channels 18 and 23.

Czech regulations specify that remote base stations (gateways or hotspots networks) linked repeaters via multiple locations stations on frequencies 26.755 MHz FM, 26.815 MHz FM, 26.835 MHz FM, 26.845 MHz FM, 26.855 MHz FM, 26.865 MHz FM, 26.875 MHz FM, 26.885 MHz FM and 26.935 MHz, FM frequencies assigned to channels 60, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 78. Use of CTCSS or DCS is '''strongly''' encouraged to allow sharing of frequencies by users who do not wish to access the linked hotspot (Internet link) networks.

Simplex repeaters are legally only permitted on channel 18 and channel 23 per Czech regulations (27.175 MHz and 27.255 MHz).

The Czech Republic places restrictions on which frequencies may be used for linked remote base station hotspot connections (linked repeater networks). Germany does not restrict this to specific channels, and Slovakia also allows the same 80 channel band plan. However, there are restrictions on base stations, linked remote base stations and CB repeaters being located less than 15km from the borders of Poland and Austria.

===Italian I2 Band Italy CB I2 34 Channel CB 26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz===

'''Not to be confused with the Italian [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz VHF]] low band "[[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] CB" band. '''

Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|CEPT band]] "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.

'''Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan.''' Channels 24 and 25 are out of sequence. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band.

Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz.

'''While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common.''' Channels 26-34 overlap with [[CB#German.2C_Czech_and_Hungarian_.22Auxiliary.22_channels_41-80|German]] 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "[[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|low channels]]".

===Australian 27 MHz Marine CB===

'''Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service''' or "27 MEG", more commonly known as 27 MHz marine band. Some radios include provisions for additional "private" channels in the 27 MHz range, in between 27.68 MHz and 27.98 MHz, eg. 27.75 MHz, [[CB#UK_CB_.2227.2F81.22_Frequencies|27.78 MHz]], etc.

'''Australian regulators plan on phasing the 27MHz marine radios out as far as emergency equipment goes. Those same regulators still list 27-MHz ch88 or 27.88MHz as one of the recognized and monitored emergency / calling / distress frequencies. '''

[[AM]] mode. 8K00A3E emission. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.

Some stations use these frequencies - usually 27880 kHz / 27.88 MHz and then either 27910 kHz / 27.91 MHz or 27940 kHz / 27.94 MHz for '''Marine Safety Information (MSI)''' broadcasts.

27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular.

New Zealand has a total of 80 26MHz / 27MHz AM/[[SSB]] CB radio channels available. The NZ specific 26MHz band 26.33MHz - 26.770 MHz plus the standard 40 Australian [[CB#US_.22FCC.22_.22CEPT.22_or_.22mid_band.22_CB_Frequencies|27MHz CB channels]] (identical to the European mid band CE / CEPT / EU channels and the American FCC legal
40 channels 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz). AM, USB and LSB are allowed on all 40 of the 27MHz channels. AM/SSB is permitted on 26MHz channel 1 to channel 17 and channel 25 to channel 40. Channels 18 to 24 are [[AM]] mode only.

[[AM]] and [[SSB]] modulation. The '''CBH''' channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or [[UHF CB]] allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

26 MHz AM Public Channels:

*Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.33 MHz to 26.53 MHz and 26.61 MHz to 26.77 MHz)
*Channels 18 to 24 are for '''AM only''' (26.54 MHz to 26.6 MHz)
*Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.45 MHz AM)
*Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.5 MHz AM)
*Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.72 MHz LSB mode)

''Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.''

''NZ 26 MHz CB skips the 5 "A" channels, in this case they are 26.36 MHz, 26.41 MHz, 26.46 MHz, 26.51 MHz and 26.56 MHz.''

New Zealand is close enough to Asia that interference from fishing fleet radio chatter, fishnet buoys, radio buoys, etc. can be a significant problem. 26330 kHz - 26770 kHz, 26965 kHz - 27405 kHz.

New Zealand previously had a 14 channel allocation in the same 26MHz band 26.425 MHz to 26.75 MHz, using 25 kHz spacing. Several of the original channels overlap with the current allocation.

*Old Channel 1 - 26.425 MHz
*Old Channel 2 - 26.450 MHz - now channel 11
*Old Channel 3 - 26.475 MHz
*Old Channel 4 - 26.500 MHz - now channel 15
*Old Channel 5 - 26.525 MHz
*Old Channel 6 - 26.550 MHz - now channel 19
*Old Channel 7 - 26.575 MHz
*Old Channel 8 - 26.600 MHz - now channel 24
*Old Channel 9 - 26.625 MHz
*Old Channel 10 - 26.650 MHz - now channel 28
*Old Channel 11 - 26.675 MHz
*Old Channel 12 - 26.700 MHz - now channel 33
*Old Channel 13 - 26.725 MHz
*Old Channel 14 - 26.750 MHz - now channel 38

===Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB===

26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.

These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

===Russian CB Channel Frequencies===

Use of the full 25.615 MHz - [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|30.105 MHz]] export radio coverage (24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz) is widespread in Russia, including channels that fall within the 28MHz [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] / 10 meter [[amateur radio]] [[Amateur_radio#Amateur_Radio_Bands_MF.2FHF|band]] 28.000 MHz - 29.700 MHz.

CB Repeaters, [[CB#CB_Repeater_Listing|simplex repeaters]], cross-band links to other VHF/UHF [[River_Portable_Radio_300_MHz_-_344_MHz|services]] (usually the “UHF 433” or “LPD 433” [[LPD433|433 MHz / 434 MHz band]] 433-435 MHz and Internet gateways are very common. Си-Би is the term, often 27MHz or 27 МГц is used to refer to the entire band. CB repeaters are often associated with automobile clubs, or “ARC” (“auto-radio club”) organizations.

Note that the “A Band” - or 26.060 MHz - 26.500 MHz on the R channel plan / zeros channels and 26.065 MHz - 26.505 MHz on the standard / European / E channel plan - is sometimes considered part of the Russian CB radio band plan.

Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. ''In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz'' Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.

[[AM]] and [[FM]] modulation. [[SSB]] used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).

'''Common band designations:'''

*B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''C band in the West, low channels'')
*C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band'')
*D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (''E band in the West, high channels'')
+
channel number
+
mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")

For example,

*26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
*27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)

''Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.''

Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"

Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.

As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.

Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. [[HF_pagers|paging systems]] (using [[POCSAG]], etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the [[FCC]] Part 95 [[Remote_Control|RCRS]] services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.

Russian CB radio channel usage:

*27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
*27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF) -
*27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
*27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
*27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
*27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
*27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
*27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
*27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)
*27.315 MHz FM - FM calling channel European grid - C31EF (D31EF)
*27.635 MHz FM - Information and traffic channel (some areas only) D19EF (E19EF) - previously used for traffic information broadcasts in St. Petersburg only (service discontinued in 2014)

Recommended Calling Channels - Main Channels:

*27.065 MHz FM - C9EF - Emergency channel
*27.135 MHz AM - C15EA - Truck drivers, highway channel, considered the Russian version of CB Channel 19
*27.185 MHz AM - C19EA - Information channel, secondary to 27.135 MHz - note: AM and FM are both used
*27.185 MHz FM - C19EF - Information channel
*27.190 MHz USB - "Hidden" channel, used for SSB DXing (among others, see also; 27.140 MHz, etc.)
*27.200 MHz FM - C20RF / 20R / 20P - FM calling channel for Russian speaking stations (echo repeaters on this frequency as well)
*27.270 MHz AM - C27RA / 20R / 20P - AM calling channel, QRP (low power) channel

===Belarus CB Radio===

26.960 MHz to 27.860 MHz or 26.965 MHz to 27.855 MHz / 27.865 MHz (some sources say 27.865 MHz). Channel plan appears to mirror that of Russia. 5 watt power limit in AM mode / FM mode. SSB allowed (or at least de facto allowed). Identical plan for 80 channel CB + 80 channel CB (zeros and fives).

Parrot repeaters or echo repeaters (simplex CB radio repeaters) are active in Belarus just like they are active in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe and worldwide. Use of the 25 MHz and lower 26 MHz channels is commonplace as with other CIS / former Soviet countries, 25.610 MHz / 25.615 MHz up to 28 MHz.

===Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands===

CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.

*'''CE''' - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
*'''EU''' - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
*'''F''' - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM
*'''UK''' - UK "27/81" CB Band - 27.60125 MHz - 27.99125 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - UK FM CB 27/81 allocation - UK has 80 available channels - UK + EU
*'''UE''' - UK Full 80 Channels - EU 40 channels + UK FM 40 channels (80 channels), some radios require the user to switch between the two bands
*'''dE''' or '''DE''' - Germany - 26.565 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 80 channels, channels 1-40 are AM/FM 4W/4W, same as CE band, channels 41-80 are FM only (4W) 26.565-26.955
*'''I''' - Italy - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 4W AM carrier + 4W FM - same European standard AM/FM band
*'''I2''' - Italy 2 - 26.875 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 34 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W or 40 regular EU channels
*'''PL''' - Poland - 26.960 MHz - 27.400 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W (regular 40 channels -5 kHz)
*'''IN''' - India - 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz - 27 channels - AM/FM 4W/4W

===Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels===

'''Standard 6 band export radio plan.''' All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.

6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.

Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.

Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.

''Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz.'' '''Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged''', but does occur.

For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).

Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz [[11_meter#Federal_and_Non-Federal_Allocations_25_MHz_to_30_MHz|spectrum]] is allocated to military and government users and the military [[SINCGARS|actually does use]] the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.

99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

===Japan CB Radio Frequencies===
[[AM]] modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.

0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, [[CB#China.2FHong_Kong_Chinese_27.5-39.5_MHz_HF_and_VHF-low_Fishery_Marine_Band_FM_Fishing_Radio|China]], and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

===Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio===

1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN

26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).

See also: VHF low band [[Japanese 40MHz DSB Fishery Radio|40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service]]

The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.

Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter [[Amateur_radio|ham (amateur radio) band]] have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same [[11_meter|25-30 MHz region]].

===Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio===

In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard [[VHF marine]] band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

===China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio ===

People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.

Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.

Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).

Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).

'''Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.''' Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to ''not'' be Chinese. '''These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets. '''

The FT-801 Dedicated Fisheries Radio - Shishi Feitong Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. includes the following capabilities:

*'''SPECIFICATIONS'''
*27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM transmit and receive frequency range
*25 kHz channel spacing (12.5 kHz channel spacing in "export mode" or "extra channels" mode)
*480 channels
*FM modulation - 16K0F3E / 16K0G3E emission
*25 watt transmit power (greater than or equal to 25w across entire frequency range)
*FM deviation less than 5 kHz - 4 kHz deviation
*500 kHz - 9999 kHz AM receiver (AM broadcast and shortwave broadcast receive)
*Data link signal format 300 baud ASK or 1200 baud MSK
*'''FEATURES'''
*National Security and Emergency Communications Network Offshore Fishery
*With distress call, select call, group call, all call, sea and other communications functions call, etc.
*National unity networking: able to access the nation's coastal fisheries establishment of several shore station for receiving emergency aid management and undo edits sea conditions forecast.
*Ship's position information be sent automatically and display functions.
*Full-band multi-channel: 27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz, total 480 channels to work.
*Receive AM (500 kHz - 10 MHz) broadcasting station information.
*Receive urgent sea condition and weather forecast news.
*Full channel or memory channel scan function.
*Fishery dedicated communication channel.
*Dual channel multi-watch receive function.
*World time clock and timer display function.
*Built-in GPS module function.
*Display navigation data functions

''This system does appear to go through the [[Amateur_radio|10 meter amateur band]] - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.''

The FT-801 radio discussed above (as part of the 27.5 MHz - 39.5 MHz Chinese fisheries radio network) is also available as the FT-801B, which instead of covering 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz with FM voice and data modes, covers 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz with AM voice. Other sources indicate 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz. Note the differences in specifications compared to the FT-801 version. No channel / frequency steps listed, unable to locate an actual channel plan, only the 26.475 - 27.27 MHz frequency coverage. 20 channels is listed, and it appears that the radio provides a channel display instead of frequency display.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.

The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.

Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).

===Thailand 27 MHz Marine Maritime CB Radio Communications ===

Note that some radios have two bands for Thailand - Thai 27 MHz CB. One of bands covers the 26.105MHz - 27.985MHz 168 channel band discussed below, the other follows the 26.065MHz - 28.755MHz 240 channel modified [[CB#Export_Radio_.2F_.2210_Meter_Radio.22_CB_Channel_Frequency_Plan_11_Meter_Freeband_Channels|export radio]] band plan. The 26065 kHz - 28755 kHz band plan moves the A-B-C-D-E-F band plan up one band, so the legal 26.965MHz - 27.405MHz band is "Band C" instead of "Band D". It also means that more frequencies within the 10 meter amateur radio band are available for unlicensed CB use.

===South Africa (27 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] and [[SSB]] (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.

''Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed mobile]] and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.''

===South Africa (29 MHz CB)===
[[AM]] on all channels. [[SSB]] only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz non-standard '''12.5 kHz''' channel spacing.

Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).

29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).

This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both [[Remote_Control#Australia|Australia]] and [[Remote_Control#New_Zealand|New Zealand]].

Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

===India 27 channel 27MHz CB===
[[AM]] and [[FM]] modes allowed. Shared with the [[Fixed/Mobile_bands|fixed service]]. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if [[SSB]] is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz - often expressed as 26.96 MHz - 27.28 MHz.

Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|VHF]] and [[VHF_/_UHF_Radio|UHF]] services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band [[350_MHz_Short_Range_Radio|SRR Short Range Radio]]. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select. 26.995 MHz, 27.045 MHz, 27.095 MHz, 27.145 MHz and 27.195 MHz RC/data/short range low power frequencies are skipped, as per the standard 40 channel CB radio band plan.

'''''IND08''' - Use of wireless equipments intended to be used while in motion or during halts, in the frequency band 26.957 MHz - 27.283 MHz (same as the 27 MHz [[ISM]] band), with a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 5 Watts has been exempted from licensing requirements.''

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters===

25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.

All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.

===27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters Automatic Relay Recommended Channels Frequencies===

'''Use of CTCSS tone squelch is mandatory'''. FM mode. Recommended channels frequencies for automatic relay / parrot repeaters. Radios such as the President Washington with built in automatic relay and CTCSS / DCS as well as split operation have this capability.

===CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services===

Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or [[VHF / UHF Radio]] services such as [[PMR446]], [[LPD433]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[MURS]] or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF [[FRS]] and [[GMRS]] services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.

Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified [[Italian_43_MHz_VHF_CB|43 MHz Italian "VHF CB"]] equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.

===CB Repeater Listing - Simplex Repeaters===

''Below is a list of confirmed '''as of May 2026''' CB repeaters and their location (if known).''

Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.

There are a ''lot'' of these in Russia. The Russians call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [https://cb-radio.ru/ARK.pdf] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [https://cb-radio.ru/]
