CHANNEL - FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT
In the 1950's, the FCC established the Citizens Band (CB) radio service. They intended to provide a group of channels so short-range communications could be conducted with inexpensive, low power radio sets. The FCC envisioned a "catch all" radio service for people to stay in touch from home to car, small business to delivery vehicle, and hunters and fishermen to use inexpensive hand-held sets to talk over short distances.
The FCC chose the frequency around 27MHZ, which is located at the top of the high-frequency spectrum. They first assigned 23 channels, but the service became so popular that in the 1970's they added channels 24 through 40. The frequency assigned to each channel is listed below.
