Handheld CBs are the most useful of all two way radios. Although a CB handheld's range is not equal to a GMRS radio, but greater than an FRS unit, more people use CB than GMRS and FRS combined, especially while on the road, so assistance is within easy reach. And no license is required like a GMRS. To boost your range while in a car, use an external antenna. This will make your range equal to a mobile CB, plus make recieving signals far easier; making this radio a viable alternative to a permenant mount mobile that is difficult to move from car-to-car. The NOAA weather reciever is a great feature. With 7 NOAA and 3 International (Canadian) channels, weather info can be had anywhere with this radio. I recommend this radio to all CB'ers, especially hunters and fisherman who communicate with buddies while outdoors.

We have two of these, we keep one in my wife's car and the other in mine. Our main use is to monitor traffic back-ups (delays) on the Interstate. For this purpose, it works great.
For more regular use, I would recommend getting the external (magnet-base) antennae. This significantly boosts both the reception and transmission. I carry one of these antennaes in my trunk for longer trips. There are not many choices out there for hand-held CBs -- Based on what's out there, this seems like a good choice.

We had to take a long roadtrip during some questionable weather. I wanted to have a CB in the minivan so I could listen to truckers, learn about traffic problems, and hear about road conditions. Also, I wanted a weather radio. This unit had the features I desired. It was quickly delivered and worked fine out-of-the-box. I used the included 12v adapter and kept it powered up during the whole trip. I used a roof mounted Cobra antenna (A1500) coupled to this radio via a BNC-to-Standard adapter. Because I didn't know what language I'd hear over the CB, I also got a earphone/microphone combination that plugs into this handheld. This setup worked great on the trip. Range wasn't wonderful - probably about a mile or so. But I did not have the equipment to set the SWR of the antenna so I wasn't too surprised. (An internal SWR meter would have earned this 5 stars.) Would I get it again? Yes, the setup worked out fine for us. Truckers could hear me fine (if within range) and I could hear them. It was nice listening to weather radio also.

Not what I expected
Very flimsy and cheaply made plastic 2 way radio. The reception is okay and the range is okay if you are communicating with people less than 1 mile away. Read more

works fine and keeps me in touch with my motorcycle buddies when we are on a dice or poker run. That way we keep in touch if there is a hazzard up ahead etc. Read more

Excellent Choice
This is a very good hand-held CB. I also bought the extension antenna and also use a magnetic mount for the top of my vehicle. Works great! Won't be disappointed in this choice.

Disappointed
Without an external antenna, this radio had almost no range. When caravanning on the highway, I could not hear someone 2 cars ahead. I've had better range with walkie-talkies. Read more

Love it
The CB works great.
I do however suggest having an external whip antenna if you want better performance, you do not NEED it though.

Sturdily made, good features, so-so sound quality.
This cb radio works well and is solid. I recommend the longer antenna available, or if you're going to use it in the car, an external antenna (though you have to buy an adaptor... Read more
