How can I increase the power of my CB radio?
The modulation should be adjustable via the body of the CB radio. Tweaking the modulation is a good way of maximizing power but you’ll only want to up it to a certain degree. Make sure the sound of the radio isn’t being distorted by the extent of your modulation. Helpful? Adjust the squelch range.
Is there a way to adjust the squelch on a CB radio?
Squelch can be adjusted via a knob on CB radios with the function included. Adjust the squelch to a point where the noise is minimized but the rest of your sound is relatively untouched. RF gain is a more modern alternative to squelch radio, and it serves roughly the same purpose. Helpful? Take your radio to a shop for peaking.
Where is the ON / OFF switch on a CB radio?
The on/off switch for most radios is paired with the volume knob. You should hear a ‘click’ as you turn it clockwise, indicating the radio’s power is on.
