5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Book on CB and Radio in General. Good Historic Ref.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The World of CB Radio (Paperback)
Great illustrations and commentary about CB on both a radio and cultural level. Will keep it handy in my 4WD as a reference book for my CB. As a result of this book, I finally figured out and fixed the mystery of my SWR problem! I always wondered why CB was such a fad before, and now I know. It's a lot of fun!

This is a GREAT book for begineers as well as experts!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The World of CB Radio (Paperback)
I am a radio engineer who thought I knew everything there was to know about CB radio...till I read this book. Its loaded with great information and I love the illustrations. The book is divided into sections that you can use individually as a reference book or you can read the book cover to cover. I also enjoyed the explanation of "CB-lingo" - I always wondered what they were saying on there. This is a MUST buy book if you are into CB, getting into CB or just want to understand this national obsession.

A good book,
This review is from: The World of CB Radio (Paperback)
This is a very good book. Besides being fun to read, you just might learn something. The appendices in the back are good. Ten-codes, slang, rules they are all covered. Even if you are an experienced radio operator, I would still get this book. Leave it on the coffee table and someone is guaranteed to read it.
