Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • it was easy to Install love the size of a compact easy to put under a seat or in my glove box and does not take up a lot of room with the limited room that I do
  • Compact small size makes it easy to find a spot out of the way to put it.
  • The compact size also allows me to slide it into my door pocket or any small cubby in my Jeep as I don't have any permanent mounts for my CB gear or antenna at this time.
  • Nice small size, works great, the most bang for your buck.

Reviews around work (4.19 of 5)

  • Cheap and works awesome!
  • I have a 3 foot fire stick with the spring for antenna and the radio works very good.
  • Has all the things I need and the price was right, mic works well and the power out put is right at 4 watts. if you need a basic radio for you car or truck this isn't bad.
  • This is the radio you see on bulldozers and other heavy equipment because it really stands up to the dust and vibrations end extreme temperatures in a harsh work environment
  • Higher output, the noise reduction works great, and so does the adjustable RF gain.

  • but I want to get an external speaker just to improve the audio a tad due to my mounting the radio under the dash
  • Sounds great, crisp audio, good receiver, does not get overloaded with strong nearby signals.
  • Really, the audio is simply terrible.

Reviews around fuse (1.95 of 5)

  • Amazing little radio u don't need anything but
  • No wonder the fuse kept blowing when I connected to a power source!
  • Knowing that the cigarette lighter is fuse protected itself, I bypassed the inline fuse on the CB radio.
  • This CB Radio did not work out of the box, there was "already a fuse" in the wire and it was "blown out", I had not even plugged it in!!!...
  • Checked fuse on CB still good

Reviews around noise (1.59 of 5)

  • I have many cbs and none of them have a fraction of the static and white noise that this puts out
  • I recommend this model as it has an RF Gain that you can use to attenuate strong signals and noise.
  • Ansolute junk even with tuned antenna nothing but static noise
  • The noise is so bad the radio won’t pick up anything unless it’s very close
  • The noise is so bad that I am going to try to squeeze either my old PC 122 or PC 687 into the mounting location
