It's ok

By Jacknife from Massachusetts on 11/7/2008

Pros:

Easy To Use, Lightweight

Cons:

Poor Reception, Short Range

Best Uses:

Just for fun

Describe Yourself:

Casual Adventurer

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use this just for fun with my friends and I get about 2 miles of reception with a 36" antenna. The sound quality is okay for the price, but I don't know where these guys are gettin' their 40-80 mile range from, I'm nowhere near that.

Cheap

By Timber

from Marmet, WV on 4/15/2008

Pros:

Easy To Use, Lightweight, Rugged

Cons:

Picks up to much noise, Poor modulation, Poor squelch

Best Uses:

Emergencies

Describe Yourself:

Casual/ Recreational

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It has a poor squelch control. When the squelch control opens with a incomming signal it comes in with a popping sound through the speaker that is annoying. The responce I have had from friends is the mic had no modulation to it. I believe it a bit over priced too for what it is.

Primary use:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love my little cb radio it's light weight and easy to install. the range is very good from my home to the out of town range and that's over 40-miles and even more than that. I'm very amazed at how the signal is and strong coming in with a nearly 39 and a half inch antenna makes it more clear than ever. wouldn't trade it for nothing.

That's a big 10-4!
This is a nice little radio! With my antenna, I get about 80-100 miles on it! I also can receive great also with transmitting! I love using this thing. My whole family has one on there veichle and at there houses. It's nice to have. Don't need a big cell phone plan, this is better free communication. And you don't need any cell service to talk! Lol.

it is a very poor cb to buy and use. terrible reception. very weak signals and low distance. i use radioshack's 102" stainless steel whip and didn't help at all. the mic is very poor too. scratches alot and makes alot of noise if you rub your fingernails on it.
