The CB is a radio communication system that was created in the United States in the 1950s. It was designed to allow individuals to communicate with each other without having to pass through a professional telecommunications operator. This free frequency band was used mainly by US truckers to break the monotony of long distances and to get help in case of breakdown. This gave rise to a spirit of solidarity that has always characterized this form of communication.

At the beginning, it was mostly used by truck drivers who, over time, created a specific language based on Americanisms, word contractions and coded expressions. The CB was successful in the 70s, when many truck and car drivers adopted this form of communication to exchange information on traffic conditions and on rest areas. It has become popular thanks to its simplicity of use and its low cost, and is used by many people to communicate with each other and to exchange information on various topics.

Over the years, the CB is also increasingly used for rescue and emergency communications, as well as for leisure activities, such as bird watching or hunting. It is also used by professionals from various sectors, such as police officers, firefighters and doctors, to communicate with each other and to exchange important information. The CB remains a popular form of communication for many individuals and professionals around the world. President Electronics is one of the world's leading CB radio manufacturers, recognized for the quality and reliability of its products.
