CONFLICTING TRANSMISSIONS
CB channels are mutually shared among many users. Interrup-
tions and conflicting transmissions from multiple users on a
channel can make it difficult for your intended recipient to
understand your message.To make sure that your transmission
is received well, and as a courtesy to others, wait until the
channel is clear before pressing the PTT switch.
If too many users are actively using a channel, try to specify
another possible channel to your intended recipients so you
can resume your conversation together on that channel.
For important communications, make sure that your recipient
acknowledges that they have received and understand your
message.
