That is NOT a CB..that radio cant even be set up to get anywhere near the CB band...CB runs at 27 megahertz and that radio works at 220 megahertz,as said above transmitting on that thing could and will get you in alot of trouble.If you key the mic and try to talk to someone you could be looking at several thousand dollars in fines and possable jail time

That is a commercal radio that is programmed for use in public safty in your area,in this case it is an ambulance company....As said above it might be possable to program that radio for the 220 mhz ham radio band....but you do need a license to talk on the ham radio bands.....

And yes you do need an antenna that is tuned to where that radio transmits at.....and if you do try to transmit without the proper antenna it is very possable to burn up the radio

We are not trying to be mean or talk you out of getting into the radio hobby,it is a good hobby that can be alot of fun.....we are trying to let you know what very well could happen if you decide to try to talk to someone on that radio
