A super price. It works just great. I bought this to use as a base station in my home and to communicate with my portable CB in case of emergency when I'm working on the land. I had to provide 13.7 VDC power with an external supply of course. It feeds a homemade 18 ft half wave vertical dipole. This is a pretty basic unit but gets the job done.
The item looks great and arrived on time. Looking back, the description doesn't indicate one, but I'm not sure "Easily installs" is accurate. The only surprise was that I had to permanently install the unit. It did not have a cigarette lighter attachment to power it. I have to look up how to install it on my car, so haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. I just wanted others who may be looking for a CB for occasional use to understand that it doesn't come with a cigarette lighter attachment.
This product was very well made, very good sound quality, and it was easy to install taking around 30 minutes or so to get the product installed into my vehicle.
Well worth the money.and very tiny. For $50 it's still a great radio. For $30, this is GREAT radio. Audio is good on rx and tx. You don't really NEED any more than this radio offers. A $200 radio wouldn't work much better in the same situation. The only annoying thing is you never know what channel it will be on when you turn it on. I wish it would just stay where you put it when you turn it off.
This radio--when it comes on or is turned on, just picks a channel, in mine, usually Channel 33. So each time I have to turn it manually to #19. When you start and stop allot it's a real pain. Mine also has a squeal when I talk (people reply back, "hey your radio has a bad squeal.")You get what you pay for.
