Some channels are set aside either by the FCC or by tradition for specific purposes or types of communication. There are radio control or "RC" channels in between some CB channels.

Channel 9 is the CB Emergency Channel, and it may or may not be monitored in some areas. Most police agencies once monitored channel 9 but it is not nearly as common as it once was. REACT membership has dropped to less tha 4500 persons nationwide and has not monitored CB channel 9 in many areas for years.

Channel 16 was, and still is in some areas, designated as the sideband calling channel. In many areas today some of the channels 36 - 40 are now designated as sideband channels.

Channel 19 is the truckers and travellers channel. Channel 17, 18, 19 and 20 are also often used by truckers and travelers. They are very good channels to listen to on the CB as you travel down the highway.

The reliable local range for a legal power CB radio today is from one to five miles. The CB frequencies are subject to ionisphereic skip so it is possible to hear stations that are many hundreds of miles away.
