Licence Free CB Brings Rise in Popularity
As of 8 December 2006, CB Radio now joins PMR446 radio under the category of licence-free personal communications. As a result, reports have been made of a significant increase in CB activity across the country. Coincidentally, several new CB Radios have recently been introduced to the UK market and their popularity with traditional CB users, such as truckers and farmers, combined with a prolific advertising campaign in Amateur Radio magazines sold in the high street, is resulting in a significant number of sales.
In June 2011, the EU announced another change in technical specifications for CB use, which will permit SSB. OFCOM may enact this regulatory change in October 2011.
