We have all seen truck drivers using CB radios before. Truck jobs are tough and can be lonely so its no wonder why so many truckers used to use them. Here is how a CB Radio works:

They basically work like this- and by the way CB stands for “Citizens Band”:

A CB captures radio signals and converts them into electrical signals. It also converts electrical signals into radio signals and radiates them. That is the basic process that is taking place.

Also, the length of the actual antenna matters. It is designed to match up with the frequency of the radiated wave lengths. ( that’s why the antennas are usually so tall).
