Reviews around size (4.46 of 5)

  • Love the compact size of the hand-held CB and its clarity once you hook it up to an external antenna.

  • I like the size and design, but this radio must not have much range at all.

Reviews around review (1.72 of 5)

  • It should be providing significantly better reliability on its products based on the very high numbers of negative reviews here on Amazon.
  • Many of the negative reviews here have to do with connecting this transceiver to bad antennas
  • Please show your appreciation by clicking the "yes" below when it asks if the review is helpful!!!
  • I hesitantly took a gamble on this one based on the good reviews, as I thought such a small, compact unit could never be as good as an actual large hard wired unit.
  • The antenna works well as far as I

Reviews around wire (1.43 of 5)

  • I hesitantly took a gamble on this one based on the good reviews, as I thought such a small, compact unit could never be as good as an actual large hard wired unit.
  • This unit in my opinion is just as good as a larger hard wired standard 4 watt system
  • I know I can't expect much, but once I hook up an external speaker and antenna I might as well just get a hard wired unit
  • The idea is good, but the piece that plugs into the car and into the unit has bad wiring and the power cuts in and out when the cord moves.
  • No need to hard wire and can hook up to a vehicle mounted antenna for greater range
