How far will 25w transmit?
For example, a 25-watt marine radio will roughly have a maximum range of 60 nautical miles (111 km) between antennas mounted on tall ships, but that same radio will only have a range of 5 nautical miles (9 km) between antennas mounted on small boats at sea level.
How far can you talk on 40 meters?
It is extremely useful for short to medium distance contacts from local contacts out to a range of 500–1,500 km (300–1,000 miles) or more, depending on conditions, during the day.
How far can a SSB radio transmit?
SSB (Single Sideband) radio has a much greater range than a VHF (Very High Frequency) radio’s typical 35 to 50 nautical miles. Medium Frequency (MF) SSB radio has a range of around 400 nautical miles, but High Frequency (HF) will reach out for several thousand.
What MHz is 40 meters?
The 40-meter or 7-MHz band is an amateur radio frequency band, spanning 7.000-7.300 MHz in ITU Region 2, and 7.000-7
How does a SSB radio increase the range?
SSB radios have upper and lower sideband channels (just above and below the standard 40 CB channels) which transmit only the CB audio wave as opposed to both the audio and carrier waves. Broadcasting only on the audio wave enables SSB radios to transmit at 3x the power, 12 watts, and significantly increase your range.
Which is better AM or SSB CB radio?
Picked up a dusty Realistic TRC-453 AM/SSB CB Radio to complement the TRC-465. This means we can have base-mobile communications–it’s so much clearer than AM, particularly when skip conditions are up. On AM, you get a squealing noise with multiple transmitters on the same channel.
How many miles of range can I get with a CB radio?
However, a properly installed base antenna can usually provided at least 15 miles of range and often significantly more. Due to their unique construction, no-ground plane antennas have about 70% the range of standard ground-based antennas of the same length.

Where can I find a list of SSB frequencies?
This is a basic list for SSB transmissions. Please search the Internet for frequencies available near where you live.
