wats a CB radio?

Answer 1

A CB Radio is a Ciitizen Band like a walkie talkie that goes for miles, truckers used them to communicate between each other, and then people in cars used it. Picture it like a Nextel but every one on that station could listen to your conversation. Sort of like the old cop radios in their cars, or in a boat. Long antenna on the back of your car and this huge box with 3 knobs, volume, frequency tuner and a knob to change stations (numbers)
It was pretty cool back then. I was 18 when my father had one. People would talk LIKE Breaker breaker good buddy over and out------stuff like that people had their own Handle name Not Screen Name Or E-Mail address but similar.

Thats a cute question only because I am 48 so I am assuming that you are around 20 somthing or younger (just a guess)

Do you know what an 8 track is? Do you know how to work a turn table? or phonograph? Just teasing, when my daughters kids hit the age of 20 they wil probably be asking what is a cell phone??????????? Who knows! Happy New Year!

Answer 5

sure. Sound can shuttle with the aid of a vacuum no count if it relatively is converted to radio waves yet SOUND WAVES which you pay attention certainly could no longer. so which you may desire to transform radio waves back to sound waves to pay attention it. it is how NASA communicates with astronauts interior the international area Station. There are additionally gasses in area that can circulate sound at as quickly as yet interstellar gasoline clouds are much less dense than the Earth's environment. (they have fewer atoms in step with cubic foot.) So if a valid wave became vacationing with the aid of a large gasoline cloud in area and we've been obtainable listening, in basic terms some atoms in step with 2d might impact our eardrum, and we does no longer be able to pay attention the sound because of the fact our ears are not comfortable sufficient. in step with threat if we had an amazingly large and comfortable microphone we could detect those sounds, yet to our human ear it would be silent.
