good but for the price could be better
Nice handheld CB but not without flaws. PROS. CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS, 3 means of power... battery/car 12v/rechargable battery, clear screen, loud volume, multi band. CONS, instead of car power, a USB/Mains power option would have been a better especialy as USB is so wide spread. For good use the radio requires 12v wired or 9v battery (6 x 1.5v alkaline) , but the rechargable option uses 6 rechargable (1.2v )batteries = 7.2v instead of a 9 or 12v tithium ion battery, this means the radio is under powered as a rechargable making contact over 1/4 mile unlikely. Supplied aeriel or Rubber duck aeriel is about as useful as shouting and debatably less effective , any purchaser is advised to order a replacement telescopic aeriel at the same time adding at least £19 to the overall cost.

Weak Range
The supplied rubberduck antenna found to be inadequate. Replaced with better and range improved. Vehicle adapter and antenna performed better and was received locally (within 3km). Unit is ok but better off with a big massive antenna on your roof.

Lovely little CB radio
I think it’s great, it’s not busy these days as people don’t talk anymore they use WhatsApp , there are some local people around me that are always on it so earwigging is great, the supplied antenna does the job but nothing wrong with getting a better one, throw in some rechargeable batteries and you are good to go, I’ve been told my mic isn’t great which wasn’t good to hear but I’m still happy, brings back memories from back in the day, from what I have read this is the best hand held available, looks the part also, auto squelch is great for using when auto scan is on , overall I’m happy, brownie points for the wife who bought me it, come on people let’s bring CB back
