How a CB Radio System Works

My name is William and we are going to explain how a CB radio works. A CB radio was designed to transmit and receive a circuit. Now when you transmit into the microphone your voice is converted into a radio frequency and it is sent out of the antenna. It is transmitted out the antenna to the receiver that is receiving your signal. The person on the other end with the receiver is receiving your transmitter and the person on your end is receiving their transmitter. As long as the radios are on both frequencies, the radios will communicate with each other. The frequency is very dependent on the time of day and the adjacent channel interference and the geographical area and terrain and so forth.
