In sectors like transport, agriculture, earthmoving, and automotive events, reliable communication is essential. Our 27MC radios, CB radios, and 10M/11M transceivers are designed for daily use in demanding conditions. With these communication devices, you stay in direct contact – without a mobile network or subscription fees.
27MC, 27MHz and CB Radios – What Are They?
A 27MHz transceiver (also called a 27MC or CB radio) operates on the 11-meter band, which runs around 27 MHz. These devices are easy to use and extremely popular with truck drivers, crane operators, and farmers, among others. Thanks to direct group communication, they are ideal for remote coordination.
Advantages over mobile phones:
- No subscription fees
- Also works without mobile coverage
- Direct group communication
- Durable and robust
Frequency Bands – Here’s How It Works:
Our transceivers support various frequency bands popular in both professional and amateur use. Below is an overview:
- 10-meter band (28–29.7 MHz) : Part of the shortwave radio spectrum, allocated internationally to amateur use and amateur radio satellites on a primary basis.
- 11-meter band (27 MHz): Falls under the CB/27MC frequency and is ideal for short-distance, unlicensed communications.
- 12-meter band (24.89–24.99 MHz) : rarer, but used by radio amateurs who want wideband communications.
- 17-meter band (18.068–18.168 MHz) : primarily of interest to advanced amateur radio users who want to communicate worldwide.
- 30-meter band (10.1–10.15 MHz) : provides stable communications, often used by amateurs in the DX segment (long-distance contacts).
Multiband and 10M/11M/12M Transceivers – One device, multiple possibilities
For those seeking maximum flexibility, Deltron offers a variety of multiband, 10M/11M, and 12M transceivers. These advanced devices support multiple frequency bands, including 10M, 11M, 12M, and in some cases even 17M and 30M. They're ideal for users who operate both professionally and recreationally in a variety of environments and situations. Think of drivers who communicate on the road via CB (27MC), but use wider bands at home as amateur radio operators. Well-known examples of 10M/11M and 12M band transceivers include the President Washington, George, and Lincoln II, CRT 6900, 8900, and 9900, Jopix AT-555N, AT-666Pro, and K-PO DX-5000, which combines multiple bands in one powerful and user-friendly device. When considering multiband transceivers, consider Yaesu and Kenwood. With a multiband transceiver you get everything you need for widely applicable communication, without compromising on range or reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions about 27MC (11M), 10M and 12M
What is the difference between a 27MC, CB radio and a transceiver?
Actually, they're synonyms. A CB radio, or 27MC, operates on the 27 MHz frequency band (11-meter band). A transceiver is the general term for a transmitting and receiving device, and can also support other bands such as 10M or 12M.
Do I need a permit for a 27MC car?
Standard 27MC equipment (11-meter band) does not require a license in the Netherlands. However, some export models or transceivers on the 10M and 12M bands do. Always check the regulations on the website of the National Inspectorate for Digital Infrastructure (RDI).
What are the advantages of a 27MC over a mobile phone?
No subscription fees, independent of mobile coverage, direct group communication and robust hardware for demanding environments such as transport, agriculture and events.
What is a 10M/11M/12M transceiver?
This is an advanced transceiver that supports multiple frequency bands. It allows you to communicate on 10 meters (28 MHz), 11 meters (27 MHz), and 12 meters (24.89 MHz), and in some cases even further, such as 17 meters or 30 meters.
Which 27MC transceiver is right for me?
- Beginners: Choose a complete 27MC set with microphone, antenna and speaker.
- Professionals : Mobile transceivers for installation in trucks, tractors or machines.
- Recreational or event use: Handheld 27MC walkie-talkies.
- Amateur or advanced radio users: Multiband transceivers with more functions and range.
What accessories do I need for my 27MC transceiver?
Depending on your application: mobile antennas, base antennas, magnetic mounts, speakers, handheld microphones, antenna brackets, or hands-free VOX sets. Also, make sure you have a good antenna cable and ground connection.
What is a No Ground Plane (NGP) antenna?
An NGP antenna works without a metal mass. Ideal for vehicles with plastic or aluminum bodies, such as campers, boats, and off-road vehicles.
What is the range of a 27MC radio?
Depending on the antenna, terrain, and atmospheric conditions, the range varies from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers. With SSB and a good antenna, even greater distances are possible.
What are export models and can I use them?
Export models are powerful transceivers with extra features and higher power outputs. In the Netherlands, these are not permitted for use without a license, but you are allowed to own them. Use is permitted in countries where it is permitted.
