Legality as a Corporate Value
Type-approving a CB means ensuring that the device complies with all regulations and technical standards established by the relevant authorities. This approval process guarantees that the device can be legally used in a specific country or region.
Midland was the first to provide a CB tested by an accredited laboratory that verifies transmission power, frequency stability, bandwidth occupancy, and other technical features.
CB: the First Social Network
It was not just a device; it was a travel companion, a silent guardian, and a pioneer of an era when communication meant sharing, meeting new people, and, above all, connecting in ways previously unimaginable. From house to house, kilometer by kilometer, the Alan K-350B made the world a little smaller, a little closer, a little more connected.
Its robust and intuitive design made it ideal for extreme conditions, often adopted by truck drivers, adventurers, and professionals needing clear and reliable communication. The Alan K-350B not only guaranteed real-time message transmission but also became a lifesaver in emergencies, enabling quick and direct communications crucial in critical moments.
Quartz Technology
The K-350B was made with quartz technology, which, thanks to its piezoelectric property, stabilizes and controls the frequency of radio signals. A precisely cut quartz crystal vibrates at a constant frequency when an electric voltage is applied, generating a stable carrier wave. This capability is essential for accurate transmission and reception. In CB radios, crystals define specific channels, allowing users to change channels by replacing the crystal. Quartz ensures that the radio operates on precise frequencies, immune to environmental variations, making communications reliable and clear.
The K-350B represents a milestone in our history, a product that revolutionized communication.
