Citizen's band

Japanese: シティズンバンド(英語表記)citizen’s band
Citizen's band
Abbreviation: CB. This is a radio frequency band for general citizens, but it often refers to citizen band radio. Citizen radio was institutionalized in Japan in 1961, but with the introduction of personal radio, a license was no longer required in 1983 for radio equipment with a technical standards conformity certification mark. The 27MHz band uses radio waves with a power of 0.5W, so the range is limited to 1-2km in urban areas, 4-5km in suburban areas, and 10km at sea. A portable radio is used to alternate between sending and receiving, but because eight frequencies within the band are shared, interference increases as the communication distance becomes longer, making reliable communication difficult.

Japanese:
略称CB。一般市民用の無線周波数帯のことであるが,シティズンバンド・ラジオ(市民ラジオ)を指すことが多い。市民ラジオは1961年に日本でも制度化されたが,パーソナル無線の導入を機に,83年からは技術基準適合証明マークをつけた無線機であれば免許は不要となった。27MHz帯の電波で電力が0.5Wのため,市街地で1~2km,郊外で4~5km,海上でも10kmが到達限界である。携帯型の無線機を使い送信,受信を交互に行うが,バンド内の八つの周波数を共用するため,通信距離が長くなると混信が多くなって確実な通信がむずかしい。
