Get The Most Out, Of Your
CB; Avoid Fuel Crunch
Spot fuel shortages and ser
vice station closings will com
plicate highway travel this
summer, so Motorola Inc., a
major U.S. maker of citizen's
band radios, offers some tips
on using CBs to help motor
ists steer clear of problems.
Listen more and talk less.
CBers can learn where to buy
gas locally just by listening to
channel 19 which is popular
with long distance travelers.
'4
f
"Pull in Your Ears"
(listen only to local signals) :'
by turning down the squelch
until the radio is quiet. Then,
slowly turn it up until the .
first signal is heard. You've
cut out interfering signals and
noise.
Reduce the reception
range by turning down the
RF gain control and flip and
localdistance switch to
'local.'
iTo increase reception
range on radios with IF and
RF gain controls, leave the
squelch and RF gain wide
open. Then, adjuBt the IF to
reduce interference, letting
only the strongest signals in.
There are effective ways for
transmitting, says Motorola..
Ask oncoming rather than
parallel traffic for gag and
road information. Start on
channel 19, then move to
channels above 23. V
M " New features on CB radios,
including those from
Motorola, make CB talking
. eagier. . Pre-amplified mikes
that don't need batteries
am pi i fy the user's voice for f
maximum talk power without
picking up background noise,
too.
Radios with noise reduction
. features like the Vari-Com
'system make reception and
transmission more clear, too,
even in crowded areas, says
Motorola.
