Finally...someone who actually explained the controls on the CB radio and their functions... Excellent terminology used...saying..."Filter...and White Noise"... Been in the CB Hobby since childhood with my Father... Still am in this Hobby...and use them daily as a secondary means of communication... Bravo my Friend ... Excellent video...

Man thank you finally got it to the right setting…someone who actually explained it without the extra bs 🙏🏼

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already, but NB/ANL is not Narrow Band/Analog, it's Noise Blanker/Automatic Noise Limiter. The Noise Blanker is designed to cut out certain pulsating noise sources, such as the ignition system found in some very old cars. The older vehicles used to produce a loud, pulsing noise spike as they operated, and the NB literally "blanked" this out by actually cutting the receiver off for a split second in time with that spike, but so briefly that our brains can't perceive the shutoff, effectively eliminating that noise source. ANL is basically an auto squelch that helps cut the "white noise" automatically, but let proper modulation. NB is pretty much obsolete with modern vehicles having much "quieter" ignition systems, but ANL is extremely helpful as there is a ton of radio frequency interference (RFI) out there these days. Cheers!

GREAT video, brother!!!

Thank you for actually knowing what you're doing. I have a Cobra 29 wx st so the actual controls are a little different, but I was able to get my radio working well with your instruction. Thanks again driver!

Finally after searching all day long found a video which helped me to understand this radio stuff.. thank you sir appreciate your efforts 🙏🏻

Thanks for the info super helpful

Thanks buddy, just got a new truck, first Uniden I ever had. You made set up easy, thank you.

Thank you so much your the best to explain the cb radio function I have seen yet on utube. God bless 😮

I HOPE more and more people get BACK into using CB's. Much better than cell phones and if a tower fails, prohibiting cell phone usage, cb's are so awesome and police won't arrest a person if they use the cb radio and they can arrest a person for using a cell phone while driving . I have 2 cb's one in each jeep.

Thanks to you I actually got my cb to work appreciate it ! Bearcat 787

Explanation starts at 1:58

Thank you for your video! I finally understand what all these knobs are for!!!!

Thank you I just got a cb for my truck and didn’t know how to tune it. Thanks

Thank you so much for your help now I can hear and use my CB

Thank you. This was real helpful

Oh yeah he definitely helped me out with that. Thanks man for sharing your knowledge with us

Great video, thank you for helping

Thanks,very helpful video.

Very helpful, thank you for sharing! 🤙🏼

After you calibrate you should switch to swr to make sure your antenna is adjusted correctly.

Have the same cb, very useful!!

Thanks for the help I appreciate it👍🏽

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for this

Great video

Good job!!

Very important that with any cb the antenna must be matched with the radio to get the best calibration possible, I generally would use antennas that have the adjustable nail like tip having to use Allen key wrench being others that have turning tips as firestixs do not give the best calibration of fine tuning.

Keep up the videos good videos, we need more guys like you to bring back the CB. It won't comeback like it was in the late 70's through the 90's but it needs to comeback. I have a 148GTL from the late 80's. I used a Superstar 3900 as a base station because it has uppers and lowers + FM. Now that FM is approved by FCC, wondering if people will upgrade and use FM? Maybe you can do another video on Antenna brands, grounding

Thank you!!

Thank you

Thank you I’m thinking about getting a cb radio

No matter what i do, does not work. Not on uniden or cobra i got. Changed entire wire still nothing. This cb world is unknown world to me. Not a single shop would walk out and do help to set it up. Thanks for video. Best explanation how cb works.

NB - Noise Blocker ANL - Automatic Noise Limiter Also, SWR calibration on these cheaper radios is nothing but calibrating your meter. Nothing else. You're definitely not doing anything with your Standing Waves. That control on these radios is pointless. Standing Waves can only be adjusted with the antenna. RF Gain is a squelch on steroids. When the floor noise moves your meter farther to the right, back the RF Gain down to move your meter back to the left. Common use in big cities, lots of noise.

Also Hi Cut is Squelch control for radio don't need adjustment on Squelch knob just Volume and full RF Gain for Reiceve!

I have a cobra29 chrome as a back up. Do you know why the static goes in and out even when I have the squelch 100% open? sometimes no white noise at all?

The squelch sounds like a noise gate. It keeps the gate closed so you don’t have to listen to the white noise until you receive a transmission which opens the gate.

Hey so I have a cobra lx 29 in a freightliner Cascadia using the factory antenna which I know sucks, however adjusted with the setting you recommend I can hear people somewhat decent but when I key the mic in cal mode and try to adjust I just get an antenna warning regardless of how I turn the knob. Anyone have any ideas?

My cb has like three more knobs than that I have a am and fm setting,vol del,a +10khz switch and five different bands so can you explain all of that

What is the delta tune on my cobra 29 ltd classic?

Hello i have a uniden pc76 xl what is the Delta tune knob for

👍🏻👍🏻

finalyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Take what and adjust it? You didn't show us

Do you set it and forget it? Or do these settings change with weather and whatnot?

When I calibrate min I can’t get the band to move over to the arrow I can’t get it to move normally either when I go to talk

How can I calibrate if my cb doesn’t have a cal switch

you have to get an antenna also right? dont get a cb without one?

Thanks b0ss

my antenna light turn red and i speak on the microphone so I bought a new antenna with new cable and i still goes red can someone tell me why why is keep doing that

I have one of those Uniden Grant XL 40Ch CB Radio w/ Digital Counter +Trucker Platinum Mic. Anyone wants to buy it?"
