    A Good Starter CB Radio!
    4 Stars
    A Good Starter CB Radio!
    Since owning this CB, I’ve transferred it to two different vehicles and loved having it in both! It doesn’t have a ton of features but with a decent antenna and a little knowledge you can make this a nice unit to transmit and receive CB with! I love the PA function that it has too as you can buy a cheap $10-$15 PA horn and now you have a budget friendly PA system too! It has a nice bright display so you can see what channel you’re on as well as a pseudo frequency meter! I love that you can easily switch from CB to PA and changing volume and squelch is easy with the two side knobs. I also like that there’s a Channel 9 button you can use for the “emergency” channel and the up and down buttons make it easy to change channels on the fly! Surely a nice unit for the money!
