Our story

CB Radio Supply started as a small full-service radio shop at the crossroads of I-57 and I-70 in Effingham, Illinois. For years, truckers, ham operators, and hobbyists pulled off the interstate to get their radios properly tuned, their antennas matched to their rigs, and straight answers about what actually works on the road. We repaired what other shops couldn’t, and we built a reputation on it — including a full eBay store and a BBB business profile that reflected years of real customer trust.

As online demand outgrew what a single interstate location could serve, we made the call to consolidate operations to our warehouse in South Bend, Indiana. The Effingham retail location is now closed, but the business — and the expertise behind it — is stronger than ever. From our Indiana base we ship CB radios, ham gear, antennas, coax, mounts, and accessories to customers in all 50 states.

What hasn’t changed

• Real expertise. We’ve been tuning and repairing radios for over a decade. If you’re not sure which antenna fits your truck or which radio makes sense for your setup, ask us. We answer honestly, even if the honest answer is “you don’t need to spend that much.”
• Family-run. No call centers, no offshored support, no upsell scripts. When you email lance@cbradiosupply.com, you’re talking to someone who actually works on the equipment we sell.
• Fair prices. We price match most competitors and stand behind the products we carry.

That’s who we are. If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been a customer since the Effingham days, thanks for sticking with us — the shop looks a little different, but the people running it are the same.
