CB Radio on the Internet

The internet is often cited as being the nail in the coffin for CB Radio but since its increase in popularity for those without a radio set there are a number of websites, PC Clients and even mobile apps that offer an experience similar to CB Radio online.

If you don't have access to your own CB Radio then these can offer you an opportunity to either speak with others on a particular network which connects you with other users on the same platform or listen in on real transmissions from real CB Radio sets in different parts of the world.

Finding these sites is as simple as searching for anything on the internet and a quick search for 'CB Radio Streaming Sites' will pull up a list of websites where you can listen to actual CB Radios which have been set up to take the signals that they pick up in their area  and stream the audio from the radios through a PC or server out on to the Internet.

These are software downloads which function in the same way as any two way radio offering you a number of different 'channels' and a 'Push To Talk' button which mimics a real CB Radio and allows you to hear other users on the same network as well as the ability to talk to them.

The benefit of these types of software is that where CB Radio is limited by its range and is will usually only pick up signals in your own geographic location, these applications allow you to speak with other people from all over the world.  All thanks to the power of the Internet.

Other online platforms like YouTube and Facebook have help push CB Radio back into the forefront of peoples minds as there are a number of active CB Radio users and groups that regularly post information on these platforms for other CB Radio users to enjoy.

In particular, there are a number of CB Radio related Facebook Groups where members post information about when and where they will be on air and more frequently these days these can also include organised 'nets' using one of the platforms mentioned below.
