Citizens Band Radio History

Invented by Al Gross in 1945, the CB radio originally served as a method of communication for troops

during World War II. After the war, Gross worked to make two-way radios a way of communication

for personal use and the CB radio service was established by law in the U.S. in 1949. It wasn’t until

the 1970s that technology advanced and the CB market caught on as a method of communication

between drivers to report police speed traps and road hazards.

The Citizens Band Radio Service consists of 40 channel frequencies that are mostly 10 kHz apart.

Transmitter power is limited to 4 watts in the US, and range can vary depending on the terrain and

quality of the product.

Currently, the Citizens Band service does not require a license for operation, regardless of age, as

long as the rules of operation established by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) are

followed.

Petition For FCC Part 65 Rule Changes

In 2016, Cobra petitioned the FCC to revise Part 95 rules to allow CB radios to use frequency

modulation (FM). Cobra contended that FM offers improved speech quality and lower noise

interference, which improves the standard of two-way radios and is a benefit to the customer.

Through the direct efforts of Cobra Electronics and the enthusiastic support from loyal customers and

the distribution network the FCC granted the request. In 2021, Part 95 officially was updated to

include FM as an option for two-way radio use.

Today, thanks to Cobra Electronics’ petitions to improve the quality of the Citizens Band Radio

Service, users can enjoy the benefits of CB radio communication in a range of industries.
