Only 4/5 because of no SWR and no one-touch emergency, but paired with a good antenna you can't go wrong with this for the money.

Get the radio, get you a good quality antenna like Firestik, K40, Wilson, or another good name brand

I used this radio on the way back, and was able to reach people up to 5 miles away, which was great! unfortunatly on the way back, I had to take my antenna off because everytime a semi passed us on the road, it would blow my antenna off the truck

Worked fine IF we had brought a better antennae.

Pair it with a good antenna and you have a CB that works just as good as the $

I can't impress enough that a 'good' antenna is imperative.-Cons - The stock mic is cheaply made with passable modulation

,.conect a ciggarette adapter to it and keep a spare antenna like a mag mount and slap on any vehicle or a friends car for a road trip.

Put a good antenna with it and be amazed at what you can hear as well as how well you can get out to others

An inexpensive CB on a good antenna will perform just as well as a high-end CB on a cheap antenna.

works great, used the money I saved on this to buy a better antenna

Have a good antennae so surprised range is short

Like any CB unit, the antenna (or antennas) makes all the difference.

You just need to get a damn good antenna.

and I would make sure you keep a good eye on your SWR for this reason, as I'm sure a higher SWR would burn this unit up as it does not have a SWR danger indicator, and seeing as how it gets a little warm even using a good antenna properly tuned

Just invest in good antennas.

Either way, get a good quality antenna and have a friend with an SWR

Make sure to pair with a good antenna

Also keep in mind your CB radio will only ever be as good as the antenna you pair it with

I have got up to 11 miles range with a good antenna

Save your money buy the $52.99 one and use the money you saved on a really good antenna, that's what really matters

You definitely need a good antenna to go with it.

This device is a little softer on output power though, so make sure you buy a good antenna

Make sure you get a decent antenna though, otherwise the radio will sound like crap to you and people you talk to.

Sorry for the rambling, invest in a good antenna and any little radio will work just fine.

I'm a ham, so it's not like I don't already have an antenna or three already, but several times a year I do a 22-hour drive from the Dallas, TX area to the Baltimore, MD area - the airwaves start getting pretty quiet after dark, and by midnight or shortly thereafter they're practically silent

It has superior range when used with a good antenna and the received audio is decent

Paired up with a good antenna this little radio rocks

According to instructions I have zeroed in on the correct antenna

Some off-roading friends of mine recommended, as a first time CB user, for me to buy this Uniden along with a good antenna.

I'm assuming this is either because I'm not near any CB owners or my antenna isn't good enough.

It feels like they put it together as cheaply as they could

I have an external speaker that I'm going to mount and hook up as it's sometimes hard to hear the unit inside the console.

Everything seems to work as it should.
