If the Motorola were actually a CB radio, it would be able to - the brand name doesn't matter, they all transmit on the same frequencies. However, Motorola does not manufacture any radios which transmit on the 11 metre Citizens Band.

A CB radio is a two-way radio. The radio transmits directly to another radio, and receives transmissions directly from other radios, and it's all done on the same frequency. While this is often erroneously referred to as simplex transmission, it is actually what's know as half duplex transmission.

CB radios can only communicate with other radios which are on the same bandwidth. Hence, the receiving radio must also be a CB radio. There are base station, permanent mobile mount, and handheld CB radios available. They cannot communicate with 10/15/2 metre etc. ham radios, they cannot communicate with FRS, GMRS, etc. radios - they can only communicate with other CB radios.

What is vox on Twoway radio?

" VOX " is a catchy term that means "voice control". Any voice communication system can be equipped with VOX so that it's shut off when you're not speaking, and it automatically turns itself on when you start talking. On a 2-way radio system, that relieves the user of the onerous burden of pushing the microphone button with his thumb when he wants to transmit. It does have real value, however, if he's wearing a headset/boom and not using his hands at all for the radio. It's also used on aircraft radio, so that the pilot doesn't have to dedicate the use of a hand just to talk on the radio.
