What to Know About RadioShack's Realistic Brand CB Radios

Realistic, a RadioShack brand, marketed audio and video equipment from 1954 to 2000. It was a known brand for CB radios during the 1970s, and many produced at that time are still in use. Here's information that you may find useful for purchasing this brand of CB radio.

Why use a CB Radio?

CB stands for Citizen's Band, a Class D radio service. This band has been allocated for civilian use and is unregulated in the sense that users do not need to be licensed and can use CB communications for any legal personal and business purposes.

Realistic CB radios have found many uses by hikers, boaters, and especially truckers. The simplicity of the design made it possible to immediately start using the radio with little training.

Why do CB radios appeal to business operators?

If you operate your business across large or multiple construction sites, or have truckers on the road, or a fleet of fishing boats, you may wish to keep a constant line of communication between everyone on the job. CB radio meets this need because when one person speaks, everyone else can hear the conversation at the same time if they're on the same channel. Also, other conversations can take place simultaneously by switching to the other channels.

You may find that the simplicity of Realistic CB radios helps with introducing workers in how to use the sets. There are numerous vintage sets available to meet the needs of a larger workforce.

What are some of the features of a CB radio?

Realistic brand sets have features such as:

  • Antenna: The longer the antenna, the more the reception range.
  • Microphone: A detachable microphone offers convenience compared to holding the transceiver to your mouth.
  • ANL: An automated noise limiter reduces squelch, the loud noise that occurs when two people try to talk at the same time.
  • Scan: An automatic searche of all channels for an ongoing conversation.
What are CB channels?

The CB band is split into channels, which are smaller frequency bands within the CB band. There is a channel selector knob on the face of the radio. Using the selector, you can choose which channel to communicate on with other people.

There are 40 channels in the CB band. Some Realistic sets are able to access 23 channels while others are able to access all 40.

What is the range of CB?

The CB range can go from 1 to 25 miles depending on many factors such as antennas, whether the local terrain has obstructions, and of course, your transceiver power in watts. To avoid interference, the FCC limits CB radio to a maximum of 4 watts. Sets in this brand category are rated at 4 watts.
