« Good CB »

I got these for harvest time but i use it year round in my truck. I've had it for 4 years now and never had a problem. These CB is better then some of the higher dollar one's I have had in other trucks. I would recommend these CB.

« Amazing CB for the price. »

I read the many favorable reviews I could find on this radio and purchased it based on them. They were not wrong, this little radio is great! For the price of around $30, you simply cannot go wrong with this radio. I have it in my car, which has zero under dash space, and still was able to mount it unobtrusively. I'm using a Wilson Little Wil antenna and this thing talked 11.5 miles through hilly, forest terrain to my base radio.

Great radio for the price and will definitely do the trick.

« Used as an extra »

Product was just as stated. I am satisified with the purchase. It was purchased as an extra unit when someone travels with me.

« BEST Deal for "baby C.B.'s"!!!! »

The price alone makes this unit a winner, but guess what? I use mine plugged into the cig lighter socket in a big rig, and have only a 2 1/2 foot antenna, and get out at least 2 miles average, more on flat ground, and of course, with the RF Gain (NOT found in most cheaper CB's that cost 30-50% more than this one!!!!) I can amplify those signals that are 4+ miles away and so can talk to them if they use the RF gain to! I can't say enough about this C.B., everyone tells me it sounds great, and clear! I plan to buy another one in case the one I have breaks down, but so far, it takes a beating in the truck, and still kicks! :)

« Sucks for close group riding »

I bought this product for use during trail runs with my ORV club. While the product performs ok on the highway once you get in a close bunch like on a trail there is a lot of howl that you pick up. There is an RF Gain control that should help but in my experience it does nothing or at least not enough to make a difference.

If you want this product to use during trail rides I would suggest getting something like a Cobra 25.
