Reviews around cb (5.00 of 5)

  • I will be getting it tuned and peaked and tweaked by my local friendly CB technician, and this will take care of the frequency issue running SSB as well as make it really talk loud.
  • An amazing cb, very clear and loud, have any questions about
  • It is unquestionably the best cb radio I have ever used, and I have used a few Cobras, Connexs, Midlands in my 25 years on the road
  • That said, from the reviews and illustrations, this appeared to be just about the nicest CB radio out there in current production.

Reviews around feature (4.59 of 5)

  • Love the built-in SWR meter as it makes it easy to tune the antenna and monitor its tuning as time goes on
  • I love the features of this radio, especially the frequency display.
  • Other features are mic gain, RF gain, a dimmer knob, and adjustable RF power
  • Being able to dim or shut off the display lights is also a neat feature, as I don't like lights glaring at me from my dashboard
  • I bought a used one but it is powerful with clear sound, better if used with a power microphone, a lot of nice features like talkback, rogerbeep,integrated SWR meter, modulation meter, 5 digits frequency counter and a big S-meter that is easy to read with more accurate readings
