The citizens’ band radio is a system of short distance radio communication used in the United States of America. The American CB radio holds a selection of 40 different channels within a single 27 megahertz band. In the 1960s, CB radio was popular among small business firms such as plumbers, electricians, or trucking businesses. The ever-popular “10-codes” were used to abbreviate acknowledgments made over the radio (e.g. “10-4” means “ok, transmission received, affirmative, understood” in 10-code). The service became popular in the 1970s and 1980s and was featured in songs and movies such as the “Dukes of Hazard.” CB is still a popular hobby in many countries though its use has somewhat diminished because of other services such as cellular phones.
