So I have a newbie mistake and think my cb was transmitting while I was on the phone in the sleeper.
I was at a company yard with hundreds of trucks nearby. I’m wondering how close you have to be to the cb mic for someone else to hear me. My cb radio is in the normal spot with the mic hanging and it is facing the sleeper where I was sitting and talking. The truck was off. Could everyone hear my conversation from that far away?
How close to the cb mic to hear me

You must know the Buford T Justice trick to communicating over the citizens band without actually holding down the button, make sure you grab a Diablo sammich’ and a dr. Pepper on your way out
Oxbow, Bud A., Kyle G. and 1 other person Thank this. -
Lol it’s not that eating but how close to the cb do you have to be for it to transmit?
-
button has to be pushed to be able to hear you.
-
Yeah if the button is stuck though and it is transmitting
-
if the mike button is stuck, then yes it would be on transmit and you would not be able to hear anyone else while it is stuck
-
Well could you hear them if they were next to you at say a truck stop or something?
-
If the button was stuck and I was in the sleeper would the mic pick up me talking?
-
Bud A. Thanks this.

there is usually a light on the cb panel that will light up when transmitting.
