CB Setup.
A dashed line that changes length with the volume setting is displayed.
Operating the CB radio without an antenna or with a
broken antenna cable can result in damage to the
transmitter circuitry. (00176a)
CB Range
Maximum transmission range can only be expected under stable weather conditions in flat, open
country.
Weather: In times of atmospheric disturbances, such as rain, snow, or even sunspots, the CB's
range can be reduced.
Terrain: Buildings, hills, valleys or any elevated objects or depressions that either block or create
a longer path between transmitter and receiver will reduce or disrupt communications.
Obstructions: Transmissions may be cut off under a viaduct or inside a tunnel or parking garage.
NOTE:
The CB transmitter is the most powerful allowed under Federal law, but since there is no large
steel area to create a ground plane, it may not transmit as strongly as when mounted in a car or
truck.

Audio Routing and Mixing
General
Refer to Audio Routing and Mixing Combinations. Whether audio is routed to the headsets,
speakers or both depends on the SPKR control switch and the INT and CB buttons on the
receiver.
A single audio source routed to headset or speaker can be controlled with the riders AUDIO
switch or the passenger VOL switch.
NOTE:
The passenger volume control switch affects only the passenger headset. The handlebar
mounted AUDIO switch is the master volume control, and used in conjunction with the fader,
affects both the rider and passenger speaker volume.
