Abstract: A CB radio system includes a wireless communication network. A citizens band radio is provided and the citizens band radio is positioned within a vehicle. The citizens band radio has a plurality of standing wave ratios programmed therein. An antenna is provided and the antenna is coupled to an outer surface of the vehicle and the antenna is electrically coupled to the citizens band radio. Moreover, the antenna is tunable to operate on a selected one of the standing wave ratios. The antenna is placed in selective electrical communication with the wireless communication network thereby increasing an effective range of the citizens band radio. A microphone is positioned within the vehicle thereby facilitating the microphone to detect spoken commands. The microphone is electrically coupled to the citizens band radio such that the microphone controls operational parameters of the citizens band radio.
