The CB echo boards are very important for the echo, improving its quality and giving it a more efficient tone while transmitting. The installation of the echo board is done inside the radio and is installed with dual controls. The dual controls are extremely effective because they provide different echo adjustment features within the radio, which can be used to speed up the echo, or to control the amount of the echo, which helps when adjusting for different ranges and locations. The dual control is installed as a replacement for the existing control that was originally installed on the unit. The placement of the control is significant and it should be placed opposite to the side of the mike jack, if the radio has one.

CB is the abbreviation for the "citizens band radio," which is a device having two way communication capabilities.

The delays between each and every CB echo is monitored and set with a digital control. By the use of this digital control, there could be three to four words before the echo repeats itself. In order to enhance the echo, as well as the sound, the installation of a CB echo board can be done. These echo boards can easily be installed within any unit, with a minimum of electronic knowledge. The echo helps to increase the modulation effect by using compression, which drastically increases the quality of sound produced by the CB radio.

There are numerous ranges for the frequencies of the CB radio that are used in different parts of the world. These frequencies can have a range from 300 hertz to 300 gigahertz. These frequencies can be used for different sorts of purposes such as television communications, radio stations, and underwater communications, just to name a few. These radios have a very limited range, and depending upon the style and model, can send and receive from a few miles, or kilometers, to distances far greater, as long as there is not any interference between the sending unit and the receiving one.
