Nice Little CB! I drive a weekly commute of around 180 miles each way, often at early morning hours, and have often thought about installing a CB to hear the trucking traffic all around me, but never had a real reason to until recently when I was going to be embarking on a fishing trip off in the woods with others who had CBs installed.

I used this radio on the way back, and was...
ReplyDeleteGreat radio in a small package. This is a very nice CB in a small package. It installed under the dash and did not get in the way. Do not be misled by the compact size and low price.

With the larger more expensive radios you only get more features, such as analog meters and fancy lights that you cannot see while driving anyway...
