The AM mode can communicate with either mode but has more noise interference.ĪM mode has less range and power than SSB mode. You can only talk with others also using SSB mode. The downside to SSB mode is it is incompatible with AM mode. SSB has greater range and far less noise than AM radios. SSB mode is only found on higher end and more expensive models. CB radios operate on forty different shared channels either in Single Side Band (SSB) or AM mode.

Today, most truck drivers still use them to share updates on slow traffic or road work. Electricians and carpenters could communicate between their job site and the primary office, and truck drivers talked with one another while on the road as well.
