Citizen's Band Radio - modern FCC language simply calls it "CB Radio Service" (CBRS) now. Part 95 - Personal Radio Services, Subpart D - CB Radio Service. CB is the oldest, and most commonly known in popular culture, two-way radio service. Many folks uneducated in the ways of radio simply refer to all radios, walkie-talkies, handheld radios, HTs, scanners, two-way radios, marine band radios, etc. as "CBs"
See the HFUnderground CB 11 meter and 10 meter forum here:
10/11 Meter Forum at HF Underground
Citizen's Band Radio, or "CB Radio" for short. Known by pejorative names such as "Chicken Band", "Children's Band" and several others. Short-range license free (or simple license requirement) two-way radio service for personal or business purposes in the 25-30 MHz (25000-30000 kHz) range that makes up the shortest wavelength portions of the HF band. For local communications, it tends to behave more like a short-range VHF / UHF Radio service. De facto standard frequency allocation based on 40 channel American CB band 26.965-27.405 MHz. In radio hobbyist circles, the CB band and adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters".
CB is one of the most commonly used two-way and land mobile radio services worldwide, although for handheld walkie-talkie purposes it has mostly been depreciated in favor of VHF/UHF services such as FRS/GMRS and MURS. CB is still heavily used by trucking companies, hunting clubs, farmers, Jeep and 4x4 off road clubs, militias and self-defense security groups (for mobile and base purposes), logging companies, tow truck operators, fishing fleets, doomsday preppers, for local and/or unlicensed paging or data link/telemetry systems, and low power to medium power R/C (radio control, remote control) purpose, etc. and as an inexpensive short-range alternative to licensed services such as the licensed Business Radio Services.
Many ham radio operators look down on CB with absolute disdain, while others view it as a useful tool...or at the very least, a source of entertainment.
CB (and the 11-meter freeband frequencies above and below CB) are making a resurgence as one of many communications methods used by so-called "preppers" and survivalists, in addition to amateur radio and VHF/UHF services such as FRS, GMRS, VHF marine, etc.
A large radio subculture relating to illegally modifying CB equipment, using so-called "export radios" or "10 meter radios" or modifying amateur radio equipment to access "freeband" frequencies, transmit higher than legal power levels, and or make DX contacts, exists worldwide. A large market for "export radios" (often sold under the guise of being 10 meter amateur radios) exists. CB is an old service, with its roots dating back to the 1950s and its spiritual roots dating back to the Second World War.
CB FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions About CB Radio
-Do truckers still use CB radios? Yes, they most certainly do. CB is still extremely popular in the trucking industry, as well as the broader construction industry, logging, LTL truck deliveries and other transportation service oriented industries. Many truckers keep their radios turned down or off when highway conditions are good. These same drivers, however, turn their radios on when conditions deteriorate, for traffic reports, during weather emergencies or for other reasons. State agencies, including highway assistance agencies and DOT continue to outfit vehicles with CB radios to communicate with trucks, flag cars, chase cars and motorists. Motorist assistance or safety service patrol trucks are often outfitted with CBs tuned to channel 19 AM - 27.185 MHz - to listen to trucker CB radio chatter and improve situational awareness. Incident management vehicles are also equipped with CBs for the same reason.
-Is it legal to use FM on CB radio? Yes, FM mode is legal to use on the CB radio service in the United States. FM mode is legal in most countries worldwide. AM mode is considered the “standard” mode for CB radio in the U.S.A.. This means that all CB radios must, at the very least, have AM mode capability. This ensures backward compatibility and allows all CB radios to talk to all other CB radios (using the standard AM mode). In the United States, AM, FM and SSB (USB and LSB) modes are all legal on the 11 meter 27 MHz CB radio channels. See Part 95 Subpart D FCC rules - 47 CFR § 95.971 CBRS emission types.
-Are 23 channel CB radios illegal? No, they are not illegal. 23 channel CB radios are still legal to use in the United States.
-Is CB HF? sometimes phrased as "is CB a HF?" or "is CB an HF?" - yes, CB falls within the definition of high frequency (HF) (3 to 30 MHz or 3000 to 30000 kHz). However, because CB uses the frequency band in the upper portion of the HF band (20-30 MHz), it sometimes behaves like HF and sometimes behaves more like VHF, depending on the propagation conditions.
-Is CB 11 meters? Yes, the term 11 meters, the 11m band, the 11 meter band, 11-m band, the 27 MHz band are all used to refer to the range of frequencies that CB radio services operate in. 11 meters is generally understood to mean 26-28 MHz, but often the term is used to refer to the US CB allocation specifically (26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz). Or, it may be used to refer to the frequency range between the 12 meter amateur radio band or ham radio band (24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz) and the 10 meter amateur radio band or 10m ham radio band (28 MHz to 29.7 MHz) - so the space between 12 meters and 10 meters is 25-28 MHz. In fact, many radios that operate in the 10 meter band are also capable of operating in the 26-28 MHz band (11 meters, the freeband frequencies, the legal CB channels and some are capable of operating on 12m, 11m and 10m - the Ranger RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series of radios are a good example of this, as are radios like the Superstar 158EDX (24.265 MHz to 29.665 MHz). Radios that cover the 11m band and the 10m band are considerably more common, however. The de facto standard "export radio" frequency coverage bands include 25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz and 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz. The 25.615 to 30.105 MHz coverage is becoming more common than the 6-band or "240 channel" 25.615-28.305 coverage.
-What are the freeband CB radio frequencies? - See the freeband 10 meter CB radio channel frequency chart below, see also: the 11 meter frequencies page.
Origins and Historical Babble - Second World War
The origins of CB can be traced further back, to World War II. Both the US and Germany developed mobile two-way radios for use in tanks, trucks and other vehicles that used similar frequency ranges, power output levels, and the familiar 9 foot long 1/4 wave "whip" antenna associated with CB. These frequencies the 20.0 MHz - 27.9 MHz and 27.0 MHz - 38.9 MHz ranges (SCR-508 and SCR-608 tank and artillery radios) and the 27.2 MHz - 33.3 MHz range (Germany, standard 10W.S.c Panzer radio transmitter - see also 10W. S.c. H. - same radio with different frequency range - 23.0 MHz - 24.95 MHz with 50 kHz channel steps).
The complete 10 WSc German UKW "ultra short wave", another way of saying "VHF" was known as the Fu 5 or FuG 5. US Army documentation indicates a transmitter power output of 6.5 watts on normal mode and 10 watts maximum output on high power mode. Maximum power setting / high power was obtained by pressing red push-button switch marked "Oberstrich" (power increase). High power was only to be used when tuning the whip antenna or in emergencies. It is not known if transmitter power measurements are RMS readings, dead carrier power mode or PEP or peak mode.
An improved version, known as the 20 W.S.c was also available. It covered the same 27.2 MHz to 33.3 MHz range with 50 kHz steps but provided 20 watts transmit power compared to the 6.5 watt/10 watt transmit power of the 10 W.S.c. A variant known as the 20 W.S.d. covered 42.100 MHz to 47.800 MHz but was otherwise identical. The 42.1 - 47.8 MHz version of the transceiver was intended for close air support communications and was a counterpart to German aircraft radios that covered the same, or similar VHF 40 MHz VHF frequency range. Note, some sources indicate the coverage for these radios was 27.0 MHz - 33.3 MHz or 27.2 MHz - 33.4 MHz. The vast majority of German vehicles equipped with high-HF/low-VHF equipment used the 27.200 MHz to 33.300 MHz range and/or the 40 MHz range for tactical radio communications. The higher frequencies were also used for Close Air Support (CAS) as well as air-to-air communications and were subject to extensive jamming in the later stages of the war.
The American counterparts (SCR-508 family, i.e. SCR-510, SCR-608, SCR-610) provided wider frequency coverage, higher power output and use of FM which significantly reduced impulse noise interference found in vehicles and resulted in increased range. The SCR-508 tank radio was rated at 25 watts (communication range of 7 miles or 11 km) and the SCR-608 artillery radio was rated at 35 watts (communication range of 15 miles or 24 km). The American radios provided crystal control and channeling at 100 kHz steps (26.400 MHz, 26.500 MHz, 26.600 MHz, etc). The US military also produced lower-powered versions of FM radios that covered the same 20.0-27.9 MHz coverage, designed for mobile command (tank) purposes, general tactical radios in jeeps, trucks, for landing craft communications and as datalink radios for portable instrument landing systems. Other radios in the same family covered the higher 27 MHz - 38.9 MHz frequency range but were otherwise the same radio. These lower power radios (power output in the 5-15 watt range) provided CB-like communications capability and operated on the same frequency ranges as the tank radio sets and artillery radio sets.
German AM equipment operated at 50 kHz channel steps (27.200 MHz, 27.250 MHz, 27.300 MHz, 27.350 MHz, 27.400 MHz, 27.450 MHz...up To 33.300 MHz. Radio displays indicated every every 100 kHz with a mark halfway between to show the 50 kHz channel in-between. Frequency readout was provided in a x100 kHz notation - so 27.500 MHz (27500 kHz) would appear as 275 on the display, 29.700 MHz would appear as 297 on the display, etc. "Split" channels in between were indicated by a line halfway between the 100 kHz steps, so 27.850 MHz would appear as a line halfway between channel 278 (27.800 MHz) and channel 279) (27.900 MHz).
The US Army also embraced the concept of using channel numbers in place of frequencies. For example, 27500 kHz (27.500 MHz) would be referred to as "channel 275". American military equipment provided for 10 crystals to be installed at once and selected "on-the-fly" to allow for frequency agility. Many radio installations included one transmitter and two receivers, to allow a tank commander to listen to two radio nets and transmit on one.
Although the FM systems provided significant improvement over noise and interference, the development and widespread fielding of these systems (both AM and FM voice systems) during WWII proved successful. The success of these higher-frequency (above 20 MHz) radio systems for land mobile communications paved the way for the adoption of (what were then considered) higher frequencies for mobile radio.
Origins and Historical Babble - 1950s, 23 Channel CB Radio and Beyond
The CB service as we know it today started in the United States in the 1950s as a licensed service in the 26.965-27.255 MHz band (23 channels). When the service was created, the original 26.96 - 27.26 MHz band was taken from the 11 meter amateur radio band in 1947 Because of this, CB and its adjacent frequencies are often referred to as "11 meters". CB was expanded in 1977 to 40 channels. It is this 40 channel plan that became the "standard" CB plan that most countries have since adopted.
On September 11th, 1958, the old 11 meter amateur band was re-allocated by the FCC to the Citizen's Band Radio Service (CB Radio) as "Class D" CB service using FCC verbiage. The legislation called for 27 channels between 26.96 MHz and 27.26 MHz with 10 kHz channel spacing, including the five R/C channels spaced 50 kHz apart. The FCC moved the channel centers +5 kHz from the band edge and 26.965 MHz, CB channel 1, was born. Overlaying the 50 kHz R/C channel spacing provided the original 23 channels. Channel 23 was/is 27.255 MHz, while 27.235 and 27.245 remained allocated for business purposes, and while 27.255 MHz/CH 23 became the 5th R/C channel it retained its role in high power paging and continues to do so to this day. It is because of this historical quirk that the CB channels 23, 24 and 25 appear to be out of sequence. Before CB radio was expanded from 23 channels to 40 channels, the "hidden" channels 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz were often designated 22A and 22B. CB users often modified radios to access these two additional channels in the blank space between CB channel 22 and 23 (many 23 channel CB radios really did have a blank space between those two channels).
The original 23 channel service also specified which channels should be used for intra station communications (or communications between stations operating under the same license) and inter-station communications (or communications between stations operating under different licenses).
Officially, channels 1 through 8 and 15 through 22 were reserved for "intrastation" communications among units under the same license, while the other channels (9 through 14 and 23) could be used for "interstation" calls to other licenses.
Channel 11 became the calling channel (see below) and remains so to this day. Another result of this requirement was the development of a "town channel" or "home channel". This still exists today. Rural areas will usually have one or two channels that the locals use as their home channel or "hangout channel". Originally, this practice served two purposes. It kept the calling channel clear and prevented non-locals from easily figuring out where all the CB activity was. This practice can be found throughout the United States and probably a world into the 21st century.
CB Channel | Frequency | Old Designated Use (Mostly Defunct) |
---|---|---|
Channel 1 | 26.965 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 2 | 26.975 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 3 | 26.985 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 4 | 27.005 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 5 | 27.015 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 6 | 27.025 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 7 | 27.035 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 8 | 27.055 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 9 | 27.065 MHz | Emergency channel |
Channel 10 | 27.075 MHz | Original road/truck channel, moved to ch. 19 when CB was still 23 channels and required a license |
Channel 11 | 27.085 MHz | Calling channel |
Channel 12 | 27.105 MHz | |
Channel 13 | 27.115 MHz | |
Channel 14 | 27.125 MHz | |
Channel 15 | 27.135 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 16 | 27.155 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 17 | 27.165 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 18 | 27.175 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 19 | 27.185 MHz | Trucker channel or road channel |
Channel 20 | 27.205 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 21 | 27.215 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 22 | 27.225 MHz | Stations operating under the same license - “intrastation” |
Channel 23 | 27.255 MHz | Stations operating under different licenses - “interstation” - shared with pagers/high power data |
Channel 11 was designated the official AM calling channel, channel 16 the official SSB calling channel (LSB mode), channel 9 was designated the emergency channel and channel 10 was designated the road/trucking/highway information and motorist assistance channel. The highway channel was quickly changed from 10 to 19.
When the service was expanded to 40 channels in 1977, 27.235 MHz was added as channel 24 and 27.245 MHz was added as 25. By sheer coincidence (or maybe not), channel 27.265 MHz was added as channel 26 all the way up to 27.405 MHz being channel 40. Thus, from channels 26-40, the first two digits after the decimal in MHz frequency notation are the same as the channel number.
CB is a HF (generally 26-28 MHz) short-range radio service designed for personal or business use by the general public. Although CB occupies the upper portion of HF, it is intended as a short-range service. 27 MHz generally provides VHF low band-like local propagation characteristics during periods of low sunspot numbers and a lack of sporadic-E propagation. During band openings, however, skip propagation is quite common on CB frequencies, and DXing at modest power levels can be realized.
CB Frequencies, freebanding and freeband "channeling"
CB is generally license free worldwide, although frequency allocations, modes and power limits vary from country to country. However, these limits are often ignored and enforcement is extremely lax. Use of "10-meter" or "export" radios is common. These radios offer the user the option of 40 channels plus a band switch, the band switch going up or down 450 kHz (0.450 MHz, or 45 channels). Common export radio frequency coverage includes 25.615-28.305 MHz (standard 6-band export plan), 25.165 MHz - 28.755 MHz (Galaxy DX radios 8-band plan), 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz ("RU" or "export" plan, often included in European radios and Chinese 10 meter rigs such as the Anytone AT-5555 and its various clones), and 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (12 meter/10 meter coverage radios such as the Superstar SS-158EDX and its various clones). Others include 24.715 MHz - 30.105 MHz (new Chinese export CB radio coverage for 12 meter band, 10 meter band and 11 meter band full coverage, also appearing on modern [2019-2020]President export radios as the export/12m-10m coverage option), 25.165 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.615 MHz - 30.555 MHz, 26.000 MHz - 32.000 MHz (RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 series radios) and the "three band" or "uppers and lowers" coverage of 26.515 MHz - 27.855 MHz (see discussion regarding "hunting radios" above). Most exports at least have access to the high band of 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz and the low band of 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, so the majority of out-of-band communications take place between roughly 26.5 MHz and 27.9 MHz. In Latin America, the lower frequencies in the 25 MHz and 26 MHz bands are popular for taxi cab companies, trucking companies, delivery services etc. During serious band openings you can often hear signals every 10 kHz from 25.615 MHz all the way up to 26.965 MHz (CB channel 1).
Many countries follow the US 40-channel plan, with most of Europe allowing for use of FM on these frequencies in addition to AM. SSB is legal in some parts of the world, in others only AM/FM or even just FM are allowed. The US CB frequency plan has been standardized Europe-wise as the "CEPT" band (or "mid band") in FM mode. Some countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, the UK, New Zealand, etc) have additional channels authorized in addition to the standard 26.965-27.405 MHz US FCC/CEPT "mid band" allocation. Other countries (for example, South Africa, Japan) have entirely different allocations and/or use only a portion of the US FCC/CEPT mid band channel plan. See charts below for CB channel plans.
Freebanding - What is free band CB radio?
Freebanding generally means operating on frequencies above or below the legal CB band in your country. What may be a legal CB frequency in one country may not be legal in another. For example, a trucker operating on CB channel 19 wishes to find a clear frequency to talk to another driver without all the interference found on 27.185 MHz. So he (and the person he's talking to) switch their radios "down one band" (-450 kHz or -0.450 MHz) from 27.185 MHz to 26.735 MHz. The radio's channel display still says "19" but the bandswitch has been moved down one. Often export radios will have 3, 6, 8 or even 12 bands. Freebanding does have some general "gentlemen's agreements" in place. For example, AM operators usually stick to the lower frequencies below CB channel 1 (26.965 MHz), with activity centered around 26.915 MHz (channel 36 down one band), 26.885 MHz, (channel 33 down one band) and other frequencies relatively close to the legal CB band. There are practical reasons for this, the primary one being antenna performance decreases the further away one gets in frequency from the antenna's resonant frequency.
SSB operators usually operate above CB channel 40 (27.405 MHz) and often use 5 kHz steps instead of the standard 10 kHz steps. This means that in addition to 27.425 MHz, 27.435 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, etc, the "0 raster" frequencies are used as well (i.e. 27.420 MHz, 27.430 MHz, 27.450 MHz, 27.460 MHz, 27.490 MHz, etc). English-speaking stations will often stick with LSB mode, due to the gentlemen's agreement of using LSB for CB communications (see also: 27.385 LSB or channel 38 LSB) but there are several exceptions - the primary one being 27.555 MHz USB - the freeband calling frequency. In Europe, SSB activity is also found on the 26 MHz frequencies between 26.2 and 26.5 MHz (calling frequency 26.285 MHz USB), often as a method of escaping the heavy activity on the upper frequencies and FM signals on the three "main" European CB bands (see CB bands in the sections below).
In the Americas, 26.225 MHz USB, 26.235 MHz USB and 26.555 MHz LSB are commonly used by Spanish-speaking stations for SSB calling. 27.455 MHz USB is also used (think of it as the Latin American version of 27.555 USB). There are dozens of other frequencies, both above and below the CB band, which are used and/or claimed by various groups, users, radio clubs, etc.
With some common sense, freebanding allows the extremely large number of users of the 11 meter band to find clear frequencies for long distance communication with minimal interference issues. It is against the law (technically) but enforcement is basically nonexistent. See the list of frequencies and bands commonly associated with freebanding CB or the 11 meter band below.
Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands
Further information may be found on the pages for freeband CB 11 meter frequencies, including specific 11m freeband calling frequencies and 11 meter beacon frequencies and freeband 11 meter bands 24-30 MHz.
Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.
While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.

- 27.855 MHz AM - High band channel 40 - popular with trucking companies and taxi cabs
- 27.855-28.305 MHz - Band F - up to 27.995 MHz (channel 11A) popular with taxicabs and truckers, although truckers are often heard above 28.000 MHz it is strongly advised that freebanders stay below 28 MHz
Legal Users of 25-30 MHz Spectrum
Aside from legal CB allocations and freebanding (or outbanding), there are several legal licensed services allocated to this interesting chunk of spectrum. This includes paging services, government, military, HF marine and FM land mobile. The following allocations are for the United States only - there will be significant differences in other regions and other countries.
Please see the 25-30 MHz users page here on the 11 meter page. Federal government and military NTIA allocations for the 25-30 MHz band on the 11m page.
CB Channel Plans
The so-called "A channels" are also heavily used, especially when a band opening makes finding a clear frequency difficult. The A channels are assigned to R/C and telemetry purposes in most countries (the USA included). These six frequencies fall under a different section of Part 95 of the FCC rules. 27.255 MHz (CB Channel 23) is also one of the R/C channels, but it is shared with CB.
US "FCC" "CEPT" or "mid band" CB Frequencies
AM, FM and SSB Modulation in the United States (FM is legal on the CB band FM legal on 11 meters in the USA as of October 28th, 2021), Australia, Asia, FM allowed in Europe and elsewhere. In the Americas, most CB radio communications are in AM mode, with lots of SSB use and some FM use. In many parts of Europe, most CB radio communications are in FM mode, with some AM mode use and SSB use. In the United States, AM is the standard mode. In many European countries, FM is the standard mode and is available throughout Europe.
Yes, truckers (and lots of other people) still use CB radio. These are the de facto standard CB channel frequencies. Depending on where you're located they're the American CB radio channels, 27 MHz CB channels, the mid band channels, the CEPT channels or the European/EU channels.
CEPT European CE EU standardization permits 4 watt carrier power on AM, 4 watt power on FM and 12 watt power (PEP) on SSB. Maximum deviation in FM mode as defined in ETSI EN 300 433 as a maximum deviation from carrier frequency of 2 kHz. This translates to 8 kHz bandwidth or 8K00F3E emission. Transmitter power in AM and SSB modes is specifically measured with no modulation present.
(ECC/DEC/(11)03) Amended 17 June 2016 - on the harmonised use of frequencies for Citizens’ Band (CB) radio equipment
Channel usage is mostly focused on US or American CB radio habits, although information relating to the rest of North America as well as Central America, South America and the Caribbean has been included where available. CB radio, freebanding and radio in general is very popular in Latin America and that accounts for the large amount of Spanish language traffic heard during band openings. SSB activity is generally found above channel 30 or 35 (depending on local needs). LSB is generally used for English-speaking stations. SSB operators will sometimes use the "in-between" channels around channel 38 27.385 MHz - 27.370 MHz (between channels 36 and 37), 27.380 MHz (between channels 37 and 38), 27.390 MHz (between channels 38 and 39), 27.400 MHz (between channels 39 and 40) and 27.410 MHz (5 kHz above CB channel 40). Included in these channels are the militia and patriot prepper frequencies 27.368 MHz USB and 27.378 MHz USB

UK CB "27/81" Frequencies
FM (Frequency Modulation) only. Authorized in the United Kingdom only (see information below).
FM with 2.5 kHz maximum deviation is the only mode allowed on 27.60125-27.99125 MHz - straight 10 kHz channel steps, no gaps or odd sequence like the mid band 40 channel CB band. Frequencies are often listed with the last two digits removed (for example, UK FM CB channel 19 27.781 MHz instead of 27.78125 MHz or 27.781.25 MHz. In the UK, these frequencies are shared with the Community Audio Distribution Service (CADS) and the Republic of Ireland's similar service the Wireless Public Address System (WPAS).
The UK allows use AM, FM and SSB on the 40-channel European standard 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CEPT "mid band" or "EC" allocation UK GB CB PR 27/97 (same as US frequencies) in addition to the frequencies listed below. The UK FM 27/81 channels combined with the standard EC/EU mid-band USA FCC 40 channel band means there are 80 available CB channels in the UK (40 AM/FM/SSB mid band CB channels + 40 UK FM 27/81 FM CB channels). UK regulations officially call the band 27.59625 MHz to 27.99625 MHz (27596.25 kHz to 27996.25 kHz). 27.595 MHz to 28.0 MHz.
See below for the WPAS and CADS frequency listing (26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, 27.600 MHz to 27.995 MHz).
The 27.6 MHz to 28.0 MHz allocation overlaps with CADS/WPAS and other services in various countries outside the UK, including paging/telemetry.

Italian I2 Band Italy CB I2 34 Channel CB 26.875 MHz - 27.265 MHz
Not to be confused with the Italian 43 MHz VHF low band "VHF CB" band.
Italy permits use of the standard European harmonized CEPT band "mid band FM" as well as the same band plan - identical to the American CB radio allocation - with AM, FM and SSB allowed on the regular 40 channels.
Note that channels 1-23 match the standard CB band plan. Channel 24 (27.245 MHz) is channel 25 on the standard band and channel 25 (27.265 MHz) is channel 26 on the standard band. Channels 26 to 34 are the out of band frequencies, 26.875 MHz to 26.955 MHz. While AM and FM modes are permitted on these frequencies, SSB use is also reported and quite common. Channels 26-34 overlap with German 80 Channel CB channels 72 to 80 and the "low channels".

Australian 27 MHz Marine CB
Inshore Boating Radio Communications Service or "27 MEG"
AM mode. 4 watt carrier TX power limit. No limit on antenna size or gain. Same specifications as AM CB radio. Modern Australian "27 Meg" 27 MHz marine radio equipment usually includes regular US 40-channels in addition to the frequencies below. This sort of dual-use dual radio service equipment appears to be legal in Australia.
27.88 MHz (CH 88) and 27.86 MHz (CH 86) are monitored by coast stations for emergency/distress traffic. 27 MHz marine equipment - often referred to as 27 Megs or 27 Meg radios in Australia - still remain popular for recreational boaters due to licensing and registration requirements to operate on the standard VHF marine band. Many vessels are equipped with dedicated HF-SSB equipment, a stand-alone 27MHz marine radio, and VHF marine equipment, with the 27 MHz gear being used for backup or supplementary purposes. It is due to favorable propagation characteristics over open water that low power 26-30 MHz marine systems remain popular. See the other sections of this article for information regarding 11 meter marine radio bands in other countries.
27 MHz marine gear sold in Australia is often "dual-use" equipment with the capability to be converted to the 29 MHz South African CB frequencies, several of which are used as a supplementary 29 MHz marine band in South Africa. Equipment will often be able to switch between South Africa's 29 MHz CB band 29.71 MHz to 29.985 MHz, NZ 26 MHz CB, 27 MHz land mobile AM CB and the various 27 MHz maritime allocations (cf. 27.5 MHz - 27.885 MHz, 26.475 MHz - 27.27 MHz or 27.275 MHz, etc.)
Common 27 Meg marine radio gear includes 27 MHz marine channels 68, 72, 82, 86, 88, 90, 91, 94, 96 and 98 and provisions for "private" channels (generally designated as "P1", "P2", etc). If used, these private frequencies are generally programmed as channels in-between the 27 MHz marine frequencies (for example, 27.53 MHz, 27.61 MHz, 27.64 MHz, 27.69 MHz, 27.7 MHz, 27.74 MHz, 27.75 MHz, 27.84 MHz, 27.89 MHz, 27.93 MHz, 27.95 MHz, 27.97 MHz, etc.). However, this is rare and most users do not have issues with finding a clear frequency.
The frequency band between 27.41 MHz and 28 MHz is allocated to numerous 27 MHz band data link systems in Australia, including radio buoys, remote wave sensing equipment (eg. Datawell Waverider), port traffic control features and other fixed data transmitters using low power. Licensed frequencies include 27.415 MHz, 27.445 MHz, 27.455 MHz, 27.505 MHz, 27.525 MHz, 27.545 MHz, 27.565 MHz, 27.595 MHz, 27.605 MHz, 27.615 MHz, 27.625 MHz, 27.635 MHz, 27.645 MHz, 27.655 MHz, 27.665 MHz, 27.675 MHz, 27.695 MHz, 27.725 MHz, 27.745 MHz, 27.755 MHz, 27.765 MHz, 27.775 MHz, and numerous others. These data link systems may use A2D, A1A, A0A, A3A, F1D or other digital emissions or "waveforms".
It should be noted that the majority of ACMA licenses for this region are for fixed shore stations on the 27 MHz marine frequencies 27.68 MHz, 27.72 MHz, 27.82 MHz, 27.86 MHz, 27.88 MHz, 27.9 MHz, 27.91 MHz, 27.94 MHz, 27.96 MHz and 27.98 MHz.
Modern 27 MHz marine radios such as those produced by Uniden, GME - see models GX290, GX294, GX297, GX300, GX400, GX400W, GX400B, TX2700, TX2720, Uniden UM423AM, GME Electrophone TX835, Marcom 28 27MHz marine radio, NAVMAN MCB7270, AXIS MA2710 and others, including Chinese Anytone, Luiton, etc. clones may be programmed for any "private frequency" between 26 MHz and 30 MHz with the correct programming equipment and software.

New Zealand "CBL" and "CBH" channels
AM and SSB modulation. The CBH channels are the same as the US channels, giving New Zealand a total of 80 HF CB channels. Often referred to as "AM CB" to avoid confusion with the 80 channel 476-477 MHz "FM CB" or UHF CB allocation also in use in New Zealand (although its referred to as the Personal Radio Service or PRS technically...its known commonly as FM CB or UHF CB. 26 MHz channel 11 (26.450 MHz and 26 MHz AM CB channel 15 (26.500 MHz) are used for calling.

- Channels 1 to 17 and 25 to 40 are for AM and SSB communications (26.330 MHz to 26.530 MHz and 26.610 MHz to 26.770 MHz)
- Channels 18 to 24 are for AM only (26.540 MHz to 26.600 MHz)
- Channel 11 is for trucking/road users (26.450 MHz AM)
- Channel 15 is the designated AM calling channel (26.500 MHz AM)
- Channel 35 is the designated SSB calling channel in LSB (26.720 MHz LSB mode)
Note that the New Zealand 26MHz AM CB follows the same 10 kHz channel spacing raster as the FCC CB channel plan (including skipped channels and the odd order of frequencies for channels 23, 24 and 25). Mid band (FCC, US, CEPT) CB band -635 kHz or -0.635 MHz. This was done to make it easier for CB radio manufacturers to convert 27 MHz CB radios to the 26 MHz NZ CB band by simply changing the PLL reference crystal and making minor adjustments to the receiver and transmitter components if required. Many modern multi-country CB radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz and include the 26.330 MHz to 26.770 MHz NZ CB band as one of the many available bands.

Polish CB Channel Frequencies PL Channels Zeros Poland CB
26.960 -27.400 MHz Multi-norm radios sold in EU often have the "PL" band setting available. The original Polish CB allocation was the same as the EU standard/American CB band plan - 5 kHz. For example, Channel 19 is 27.180 MHz instead of 27.185 MHz. Channel 20 is 27.200 MHz instead of 27.205 MHz. The channel plan is otherwise exactly the same. FM was originally only allowed, with AM and FM now allowed. These frequencies are still heavily used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine (see information below on the Russian band plans). There are indications that the -5 kHz channels are even used for the “hidden” A channels - 26.990 MHz for 26.995 MHz, 27.040 MHz for 27.045 MHz, 27.090 MHz for 27.095 MHz, 27.140 MHz for 27.145 MHz and 27.190 MHz for 27.195 MHz.
These channels are often referred to as the "zeros" by European CBers. Poland now uses both the regular EU or CEPT "mid band 40" FCC American CB plan and the band plan below. This effectively provides 5 kHz steps when using a radio that can switch back and forth between the two band plans.

Russian CB Channel Frequencies
Legally speaking, Russia as two sets of 120 channels for a total of 240 channels. In most multi-norm radios, this is the "export mode" or "RU" mode. Some radios allow for more channels, starting at 25.615 MHz/25.610 MHz or 26.065 MHz/26.060 MHz Unlike most countries, Russia has 5 kHz channel steps. Frequency coverage is 26.510 MHz to 27.860 MHz (26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz or 27.865 MHz) Like most other countries, 24-30 MHz is filled with CB and CB-like traffic. Russian taxi cab dispatchers are heard all over Europe in 12 meters through 10 meters during band openings. Even with 240 legally available channels, Russian CB activity is often heard in the lower 26 MHz band, the 25 MHz band and within the 10 meter amateur band.
AM and FM modulation. SSB used on some frequencies but not allowed. Channels are referred using an alphanumeric designation that provides the band, channel number, and "raster" (last digit of frequency, 5 or 0) plus the mode. Most radios used in Russia use the band letter + channel number format to display channels, and/or include a frequency display due to the complexity of the system. The "E" channels are more commonly used in Russia compared to the older-generation "R" channels (original Russian/Polish/Eastern European CB channel plan).
Common band designations:
- B band: 26.515-26.955 MHz (E raster) 26.510-26.950 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (C band in the West, low channels)
- C band: 26.965-27.405 MHz (E raster) 26.960-27.400 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (D band in the West - CB band, mid band or EURO CEPT band)
- D band: 27.415-27.855 MHz (E raster) 27.410-27.850 MHz (R raster) 40 channels 5 kHz offset + 40 channels 0 kHz offset (E band in the West, high channels)
+ channel number + mode (AM or FM, often written as "A" or "F")
For example,
- 26.670 MHz FM is designated B14R or B14RF/B14R FM (band B, channel 14, R raster/channeling or the "zeros", FM mode)
- 27.185 MHz AM is designated C19E or C19EA/B19E AM (band C, channel 19, E raster/channeling or the "fives", AM mode)
Many CB radios used in Russia include a frequency display as the use of multiple channel raster plans can be confusing. Since FM is by far the more commonly used mode for local communications, the mode portion of the alphanumeric channel name is often omitted.
Modern CB radios sold in Europe and Asia often include "RU" mode as a country setting. More often than not, this opens up the radio to 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz in 5/10 kHz steps AM/FM mode. Russia suffers from heavy interference on the 10 meter amateur radio band due to the high number of radios operating above and below the legal CB frequencies and nil enforcement on the behalf of Russian authorities. Therefore, the "Russia CB band" can be difficult to pin down as far as the actual frequencies, some sources now simply state "25 to 30 MHz"
Note: Compared to the table below, most export radios sold in the Americas and Western Europe have the CB band as Band D, not Band C. Therefore Channels B01-B40 would be C01-C40, channels C01-C40 would be channels D01-D40 and so on and so forth.
As of the late 2010s/early 2020s, Russia appears to be moving towards standardization with Western Europe with the alphanumeric channels. CB radios designed for the Russian market now include a "15D" button and a -5 kHz button. The Channel 15D button either switches to 27.135 MHz or 27.585 MHz ("standard" Russian band shown as 26.960 MHz - 27.860 MHz, which fits with the -5 kHz switch + 10 kHz switch capability, turning the CB band into a de facto 5 kHz steps land mobile band). See Optim Satellite CB radio, Nanfone CB-689, Thunderpole T-3000, etc.
Like many other countries, CB radio in Russia shares the 11 meter band for telemetry. paging systems (using POCSAG, etc.), datalinks and other non-voice purposes. Frequencies like 26.945 MHz, 26.950 MHz, 26.955 MHz and 26.960 MHz will often have data bursts on them, especially in larger cities - this is similar to the FCC Part 95 RCRS services in the United States and elsewhere on 27.255 MHz, etc.
Russian CB radio channel usage:
- 27.060 MHz FM - Secondary rescue / emergency channel (unrestricted use) 27.060 FM - C9RF (D9RF)
- 27.065 MHz FM - Official rescue service calling channel 27.065 FM - C9EF (D9EF)
- 27.135 MHz AM - Road channel / car calling channel (slowly being replaced by 27.135 MHz FM) - C15EA (D15EA)
- 27.135 MHz FM - Road channel and trucker channel - C15EF (D15EF)
- 27.185 MHz AM - Information channel and trucker road channel AM mode C19EA (D19EA)
- 27.185 MHz FM - Information channel and trucker road channel FM mode C19EF (D19EF)
- 27.190 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel (also used in SSB mode)
- 27.200 MHz FM - Long range calling DX channel - C20RF (D20RF)
- 27.270 MHz AM - Radio hobbyist channel AM mode - C27RA (D27RA)
- 27.315 MHz FM - FM calling channel European grid - C31EF (D31EF)
- 27.635 MHz FM - Information and traffic channel (some areas only) D19EF (E19EF) - previously used for traffic information broadcasts in St. Petersburg only (service discontinued in 2014)

Multi Norm European Standard and Country-Specific Bands
CB radio equipment sold in Europe usually features multi-norm functionality - in other words, the end user selects the country they are in and the radio loads the appropriate channel plan, available mode(s) and power levels (AM, FM, etc.). Each country is usually referred to by a 2-character "norm" In addition, two Europe-wide standard bands (one with 4w FM only, the other 4w AM/FM) are available, often referred to as "CEPT" "EU" or "EC", "Euro" bands.
- CE - Europe Harmonized FM - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - FM - 4W - European standard band, CE or "CEPT"
- EU - Europe Harmonized AM/FM or AM/FM/SSB - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM/SSB 4W AM carrier + 4W FM + -12W SSB PEP European standard AM/FM/SSB band
- F - France - 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz - 40 channels - AM/FM - 1W AM carrier + 4W FM

Export Radio / "10 Meter Radio" CB Channel Frequency Plan 11 Meter Freeband Channels
Standard 6 band export radio plan. All plans follow the CB plan with 40 channels + 5 A channels (+10 kHz switch) or alpha channels. To go up or down a band add or subtract 450 kHz (0.450 MHz). For example, to go from channel 19 on the CB band (or D band, or mid band) "down one band" to the C band or low band, do 27.185 MHz (CB channel 19) - .450 MHz to get 26.735 MHz. This is why having a frequency display or frequency counter can be very helpful. At very least, a printed out "roadmap" or channel plan (available on various sites in PDF format) will help.
6 band export radio frequency plan A-B-C-D-E-F 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. This six-band plan is the de facto standard plan and is used by the Superstar 3900 family of radios as well as numerous clones produced by Ranger and other companies (Connex 3300, General Lee, Super Jopix 2000, Mirage MX-36 and dozens of others). Note that some radios may use the low/mid/high band designation for C/D/E and bands (low band being band C - 26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz, mid being the CB band/D band 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and high being band E - 27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz). Several radios including the Connex Deer Hunter specifically cover the lower frequencies for hunters, and the bandswitch shows either A-B-C-D or B-C-D to reflect the 25.615 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage or 26.065 MHz to 27.405 MHz coverage, respectively.
The related Superstar 120, Superstar 121, President Grant DX, Superstar GR, etc. style radios (120 channel radios, radios with a LOW/MID/HIGH band selector, this includes radios like the Galaxy DX 86V with the C-D-E band switch), plus CB rigs with 120 channel modifications, frequency expansion mods or "channel kits" (including the popular Cobra 29 family of radios, Galaxy DX 919, Galaxy DX 929, Galaxy DX 939, Galaxy DX 949, Galaxy DX 959 / DX 959B, Galaxy DX 979, Texas Ranger rigs, etc.) use the same form factor with either LOW-MID-HIGH band switch or C-D-E covering 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz. Radios such as the Galaxy DX 86V use the C-D-E band labeling plan to match 6-band export 10 meter radio band names.
Modified CB radios with additional channels may or may not follow the alphanumeric band + channel designation system, depending on the particular modification and radio in question. Many modern modification kits or extra channel expansion kits aim to track the same channel plan to provide for interoperability between modified 40 channel CB radios and 10 meter radios that have been converted to the 11 meter band. Not all legal 40 channel CB radios are capable of operating outside of the legal band but many are, and a thriving market for channel expansion kits and modifications continues to exist for those who wish to use "traditional" type CB radios and still have access to additional channels/frequencies. Because of this, and antenna considerations, the most active 11 meter frequencies tend to be the low channels (26.515 MHz to 26.955 MHz) and the high channels (27.415 MHz to 27.855 MHz) - with the frequencies closest to the legal 40 CB channels generally being more popular (again due to antenna tuning considerations). Some radios follow an older 26.525 MHz to 27.845 MHz coverage plan vs. 26.515 MHz to 27.855 MHz.
Most out of band CB activity occurs within the limits of these 6 bands, that is, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz. Operating above 28 MHz is strongly discouraged, but does occur.
For radios with wider frequency coverage, the lowest band will generally be Band A. On the 8 band Galaxy radios, coverage is 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz (A-B-C-D band selector plus a high band and low band switch). 12 band radios use the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L naming convention, or A-B-C-D-E-F band selector plus a high band and a low band selector. These radios generally cover 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz. The newer generation Chinese radios cover 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (10 bands) or 24.715 MHz to 30.105 MHz out of the box (12 bands). Other radios do away with the band switch and simply allow VFO frequency selection from 26-32 MHz or within the 25.610 - 30.110 MHz or 25.615 - 30.105 MHz coverage band. Modern equipment and older style Ranger/RCI type radios include a +10 kHz switch. Modern equipment may also include a +5 kHz or -5 kHz switch to access the in between channels (for example, to switch between 27.185 MHz and 27.180 MHz for channel 19).
Note: operating on frequencies between 28.0 MHz and 29.7 MHz is a really bad idea. Yes, there is that chunk of spectrum from 29.705 MHz to 30.105 MHz available in many radios. However use of frequencies 30.005 MHz, 30.015 MHz, 30.025 MHz, 30.035 MHz, 30.045 MHz, 30.055 MHz, 30.065 MHz, 30.075 MHz, 30.085 MHz, 30.095 MHz, 30.105 MHz and 30.115 MHz is also strongly discouraged. The 29.710 MHz to 29.790 MHz portion is still used by business radio systems as of 2021. The 29.800 MHz to 30.550 MHz spectrum is allocated to military and government users and the military actually does use the 30.000 MHz to 30.550 MHz portion.
99% of radios will be operating on the Standard Band Plan (the "fives"). Remember that the +10 kHz switch moves you up +10 kHz, regardless. So radios advertised as "25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz" can actually go to 28.315 MHz (usually), 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz means 30.115 MHz (usually).

Japan CB Radio Frequencies
AM modulation only. Japanese regulations specifically name "double side band" emission A3E (8K00A3E or 6K00A3E). Odd channel spacing.
0.5 watt (500mw) power limit. Often included as part of the Japanese "DSB Fishery Radio Service" (27 MHz fishery radio system) that covers 26.760 MHz to 27.988 MHz in odd steps. Some fishery radio marine frequencies in-between CB channels. Illegal CB operations on the American/Australian frequencies is apparently common in Japan, despite the potential for interference with marine radio service allocations. These frequencies are often used in conjunction with the "standard" 10 kHz CB channeling for fishing, marine transport and other maritime purposes in Japan, Taiwan, China, and several other Asian countries. Japan's primary outband or freeband calling frequencies are 27.005 MHz in AM mode and 27.355 MHz / 27.385 MHz in LSB mode for SSB voice. All three of these frequencies interfere with the fishery radio services in Japan.

Japanese 27MHz Double Side Band DSB Marine Fishery Radio
1W-DSB FISHERY RADIO SERVICE JAPAN
26.760 MHz - 27.988 MHz 26760 kHz to 27988 kHz. Frequency band also includes the 8-channel Japanese AM CB band, the 25 watt SSB fishery radio service (see below) and the 26/27 MHz RC frequencies (being phased out in Japan).
See also: VHF low band 40 MHz (35-40 MHz) 5W DSB Fishery Radio Service
The 1W DSB Fishery Radio Service has 1 watt maximum carrier power for AM voice and permits use of digital modes - A2D modulation, 6K00A2D / 8K00A2D emissions in addition to A3E AM voice, including integrated position reporting and GPS linked radio nets for communications with and monitoring of large fishing fleets. These frequencies are often overlaid with standard 10 kHz step "marine CB" channeling. See 0.5 watt Japanese CB frequencies above. Not designated channel numbers per Japanese law, referred to by frequency. Radios display frequency and often feature selective calling features.
Similar services exist in other Asian countries, with varying frequency allocations. Radios sold in China and Taiwan covering 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz DSB fishery radio, 26.475 MHz - 27.270 MHz DSB fishery radio (this appears to be used in China as well, see also the 27.500 MHz to 39.475 MHz FM fishery radio allocation), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz, 25.555 MHz - 30.500 MHz, others covering 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz, 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz, the de facto standard export 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz or other obvious "overlays" from the standard CB channels. See also, the Chinese 27.500 MHz - 39.500 MHz allocation (27.5 MHz - 39.475 MHz on some radios). Radios for the 1 watt DSB Fishery Radio Service are still sold as of 2017, despite issues the widespread proliferation of cheaper "export", "10 meter" and "marine CB" equipment. Ranger Communications (RCI) sells "Marine CB" equipment that covers 26.065-28.755 MHz out of the box. The 10 meter band is often plagued by fishery radio interference because of this. Not only does the 10 meter ham (amateur radio) band have numerous intruders because of fishery radio users but legit users also suffer inference from CB stations and other fishery radio band plans that operate in the same 25-30 MHz region.

Japanese 27MHz Single Side Band SSB Marine Fishery Radio
In addition to the 26 / 27 MHz double side band 1W-DSB (1 watt AM) fishery radio service available in Japan, a higher power SSB service exists in the same frequency band. J3E emission, 25 watt power limit (per Japanese regulation). Like the 1W DSB 27MHz marine service, many of these frequencies overlap with the traditional CB bands in use outside of Japan. Frequencies licensed to individual fisheries, just like the 1 watt DSB service, the MF/HF services, the standard VHF marine band, and other VHF/UHF bands only available in Japan.

China/Hong Kong Chinese 27.5-39.5 MHz HF and VHF-low Fishery Marine Band FM Fishing Radio
People's Republic of China (PRC)!Hong Kong and adjacent waters. HF/VHF system covering 27.5 MHz to 39.475 MHz in 25 kHz steps (FM mode). 25 watt power output. Apparently used with GPS and other position-indicating data links for fishing fleets (FSK) in a similar manner to the AM (DSB) and SSB based systems used in Japan, South Korea and other places. Crosses the boundary between HF and VHF at 30 MHz. Used in conjunction with standard MF/HF SSB marine and VHF marine systems. Advertised as a "dedicated fisheries radio" or "FM fishing boat fishery radiotelephone" "480 channel fishing fleet fishery wireless FM radiotelephone" "HF FM fishery radio" and numerous variants system with FM voice and FSK datalink capabilities (25 watt transmitters with high gain antennas tuned for 27.5 - 39.5 MHz or 27.500 MHz - 39.475 MHz.
Unlike the Japanese 27 MHz fisheries radio systems (which uses direct frequencies as to reference the channels), this system uses a channelized system with integer channel numbering. Straight channel numbering sequence (channel 1 - 27.500 MHz, channel 2 - 27.525 MHz, channel 3 - 27.550 MHz, channel 3 - 27.575 MHz, channel 5 - 27.600 MHz, etc. through to 39.425 MHz (channel 477) , 39.450 MHz (channel 478) and 39.475 MHz as channel 480) for a total of 480 channels.
Radios appear to come with channels 221 - 32.875 MHz FM, channel 231 - 33.100 MHz FM, channel 236 - 33.225 MHz FM, and channel 238 - 33.275 MHz FM as "dual watch" channels (likely for calling purposes).
Radios sold in China for this band appear to have selective calling and automatic location transmission capabilities in addition to regular FM voice. Emission listed as 16K0F3E and 16K0G3E on the FT-801 "Fisheries Dedicated Radio" with "dual transmission mode" 300 baud rate ASK, 1200 baud rate MSK. Radios also come with voice scrambler (likely voice inversion) capability. Other radios sold in China for this band are called "Fishing Radio Telephone" and offer similar features, including an array of selective calling, group calling, automatic distress transmission, automatic location reporting to fixed shore stations and scanning functions. Frequency coverage is the same 27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz with 20 watts output power (IC-988C FM Transceiver).
Other radios sold for this same frequency band are sold with "1000 channel mode" or "960 channel mode" which reduces channel spacing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz. Channel numbering is not confirmed, but frequency range (27.5 MHz to 39.5 MHz) is identical. Fishing fleet transmissions have been heard on frequencies that fit the 12.5 kHz step channeling - including 29.7375 MHz, 29.8875 MHz, 31.2375 MHz, 32.1125 MHz, 32.1875 MHz, 32.3625 MHz, and others. The fishing fleets using the "export mode" appear to not be Chinese. These radios are used throughout Asia, not just Chinese fishing fleets.
The FT-801 Dedicated Fisheries Radio - Shishi Feitong Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. includes the following capabilities:
- SPECIFICATIONS
- 27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM transmit and receive frequency range
- 25 kHz channel spacing

This system does appear to go through the 10 meter amateur band - channel 21 (28.000 MHz) through channel 93 (29.700 MHz) - and would at least partially explain the large amount of FM voice interference from fishing radio system intruders heard on 10 meters during band opening to Southeast Asia and China. The AM voice intruders on 10 meters are likely using the more traditional 10 meter export radios covering 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz or 28.765 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 28.305 MHz or 28.315 MHz, etc.

Frequency ranges available on other radios sold for the same purposes include: 26.475 MHz - 27.275 MHz (standard), 25.550 MHz - 30.495 MHz (optional) or 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz (Super4800 Marine DSB Radiotelephone) as frequency range. Channel plans offer 12, 20, 21, 480 or 1000 channels. See Wenden WTR-358 DSB radio, WTR-388 DSB radio and Wenden Super 4800 marine CB radio. The WTR-358/WTR-388 and Super 4800 radios differ only in their frequency coverage and which language is printed on the control panel.
The 480 channel radios appear to use the alphanumeric export radio channeling - for example, C-08 is band C, channel 8. Most radios appear to have channel or frequency display options (and operate in DSB mode only...in other words, AM mode). As mentioned, the frequency range varies but roughly 25-30 MHz, 24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz, 26.065 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz, 26.475 MHz to 27.275 MHz, 25.550 MHz to 30.495 MHz or 30.500 MHz, etc.
Other Asian countries sell "Marine CBs" such as the Ranger Sea Eagle 6900 AM/FM/SSB transceiver with 24.265 MHz - 29.655 MHz coverage, the the Ranger Super Star 2400 AM/FM marine CB mobile radio with 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz frequency coverage and numerous others sold explicitly as marine radios vs. 10 meter amateur radios or CB radios. Information regarding a Vietnam specific band plan of 26.065 MHz - 28.755 MHz has also been found. 26.065-28.755 MHz AM/FM/SSB 6 bands of 40 channels in 10 kHz steps for a total of 240 channels (or 270 channels of the +10 kHz switch is used for the A channels = 45 channels per band).
South Africa (27 MHz CB)
AM and SSB (USB only). 9 channels, 27.185-27.275 MHz. Some sources indicate that these same frequencies are authorized for use in Namibia as well.
Editor's note (early 2019) - it appears that updated South African frequency allocations now show 26.96 MHz to 27.41 MHz as fixed mobile and CB radio service, possibly indicating that South Africa has changed from 9 channels (27.180 MHz to 27.280 MHz) to 40 channels (26.960 MHz - 27.410 MHz). Updated allocations still show 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz (29.71 MHz - 29.985 MHz) as allocated to the 29 MHz CB, 29 MHz marine band and civil defense/emergency response users, indicating that 29MHz CB is still in operation) This is unconfirmed, however.

South Africa (29 MHz CB)
AM on all channels. SSB only allowed on specified channels. 23 channels, 29.710 MHz - 29.985 MHz. 12.5 kHz channel spacing.
Some channels have multiple designations depending on their intended use. Used by boating clubs, 4x4 groups, farmers, etc. South African 4x4 groups are starting to migrate to VHF/UHF services but a 29 MHz CB appears to still be required equipment for many of these clubs (much like a 27 MHz CB is required by Jeep and 4x4 clubs in the US and UK).
29 MHz CB marine usage in South Africa is analogous to 27 MHz marine CB usage in Australia. It remains in use by recreational boats, often in conjunction with VHF marine equipment on recreational and fishing boats. Only 3 channels are available for marine use under South African law, 29.935 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 1 or channel A), 29.7725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 2 or channel B) and 29.9725 MHz (29 MHz marine channel 3 or channel C).
This allocation overlaps with the 29 MHz R/C frequencies used in both Australia and New Zealand.
Compare with the Australian 27MHz 27 Meg marine radio service, many radios sold in Australia for the 27 MHz marine band are also available in South Africa (programmed for the 29 MHz marine frequencies). These radios include the GME Electrophone brand GME GME GX287, GME GX287A, GX294 26-30 MHz marine radio, GME GX300, GME GX400, GME GX290, Navman MCB 2720, Uniden MC-2700 Sea Dolphin, Uniden MC-4300 Sea Wasp, Uniden MC-4700 and various others.

India 27 channel 27MHz CB
AM and FM modes allowed. Shared with the fixed service. 5 watt power limit (expressed as ERP) Unclear if SSB is permitted. Full allocation band 26.957-27.283 MHz.
Channel frequencies 26.965 MHz - 27.275 MHz. Several VHF and UHF services are allowed in India for two-way radio, making 26 MHz/27 MHz CB radio a bit of a niche, with most two way walkie talkies in India such as the 350 MHz band SRR Short Range Radio. However, so-called multi-norm AM/FM CB radios are beginning to be shipped with the Indian band programmed in as one of the country modes the user may select.
IND08 - Use of wireless equipments intended to be used while in motion or during halts, in the frequency band 26.957 MHz - 27.283 MHz (same as the 27 MHz ISM band), with a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 5 Watts has been exempted from licensing requirements.

27 MHz 11 meter band CB Repeaters
25-30 MHz simplex echo parrot CB repeaters, mostly operating in the 26 MHz and 27 MHz CB bands (Russian bands). Commonly referred to as "parrots" or "echo repeaters" these are simplex repeaters (store-and-forward). Due the easy availability and low prices of these devices, 11-meter repeaters are becoming more and more popular, especially in parts of the world where FM mode is allowed/used in addition to AM/SSB. Russia is the heaviest user of CB repeaters, due to its large size, heavy reliance on CB for the taxi, delivery, trucking and roadside assistance industries.
All listed repeaters operate in FM mode. The vast majority are carrier squelch, however some require a CTCSS tone (usually 77.0 Hz or 88.5 Hz) to open the repeater and/or access cross-band links. If any CTCSS/PL tone is known, it is included with the repeater listing.
CB Repeater Networks Crossband Link to VHF/UHF Systems and Internet Services
Several of these repeaters operate as part of larger "networks" or "systems" linked together via the Internet or VHF / UHF Radio services such as PMR446, LPD433, FRS, GMRS, MURS or other country-specific systems. It appears that the most popular crossband links are in the 433.075-434.775 MHz LPD433 service in Russia and the 446.0-446.2 MHz PMR446 service elsewhere in Europe In the Americas, both the UHF FRS and GMRS services and the VHF MURS services have been used to link CB repeaters.
Cross band repeat and links sometimes operate on unlicensed frequencies and/or operate with higher-than-legal power levels within legal frequencies. For example, maximum power output on LPD433 is 10mW, however several Russian 27 MHz repeaters are using modified high power amateur radios on the LPD433 frequencies as part of their linking system. Other linking systems used modified 43 MHz Italian "VHF CB" equipment such as the Alan HM43, Intek/Dragon SY-5430 which is popular in Russia and the CIS nations for its capability to be easily modified to cover 42.3000 MHz to 45.0875 MHz at 25w output power.
CB Repeater Listing
The repeaters on this list are true split-frequency duplex systems:
Duplex repeaters 11m repeaters list CB repeaters input and output frequencies
Output Frequency | Input Frequency | Location | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|
27.405 MHz | 26.565 MHz | Germany Oschenwang Germany Southern Germany | CH40 output/CH41 input (German 80-channel CB) 840 kHz offset |
27.085 MHz | 27.175 MHz | Netherlands FM mode channel 11 and channel 18 | Multiple TX/RX sites, each site assigned a CW ID transmitted at the end of transmission |
27.400 MHz | 26.960 MHz | Poland FM mode, 26.960 FM input, 27.400 FM output | 6 second time out timer |
Due to the nature of these simplex repeaters being hobbyist owned/operated, this list is likely, and is likely to remain, incomplete. the repeaters listed below may switch frequencies or temporarily go off the air please update this list with any new information regarding frequencies, transmit location or transmit power for entries missing this information.
Note: the four linked Caribbean 11 meter repeaters on 27.600 MHz, 27.620 MHz, 27.640 MHz and 27.660 MHz with +200 kHz offset positive split duplex inputs 27.800 MHz 27.820 MHz 27.840 MHz 27.860 MHz with 88.5 Hz tone repeaters have been removed from the list since they are almost certainly off the air.
Below is a list of confirmed [as of July 2023] CB repeaters and their location (if known).
There are a LOT of these in Russia. The call them ARK. See an excellent PDF listing here: [1] and an interactive map of locations of known CB repeaters in Russia, with UHF crossband links, CTCSS tones, Internet gateways, websites and other relevant information here: [2]
