President Johnny III USA 40 Channel CB Radio 12 or 24V, Black

Nice radio, receive is very good. Reason Im reviewing is I had a problem one day after delivery. I immediately tested the cb when it arrived with a cb in my other car - transmit and receive were great. Next day when pushing the ptt switch Id get full power swing but no audio. Changed mics and no change. Out of curiosity I removed the cover and unplugged and replugged the interface cable to see if there was a bad connection. Sure enough it solved the audio problem. Aside from what I consider a fluke scenario, this is a nice performing radio. It is small in size but very solid construction. The stock mic sounds good. The mic is light weight but that is because it has eletrek technology which requires less bulky materials.

Love it! May buy some more real soon!

Love it

Great little compact radio. Excellent ears, transmits very well! Would definitely recommend!

Best cb I have ever had!

Big big disappointment! Went to install it in my semi & would not power up. Doesnt say a whole lot for its manufacturer, nor retail whom shipped it prior to insuring that it was a functioning unit.

Works good easy to set up love the weather stations. You will need swr meter its not include

I tried different CDs in the past and I must say that this CB is the best Ive ever owned

I was quite unhappy with my Cobra 75WX ST CB radio: the reception quality was very bad no matter what antenna I had (5, 4, 3), plus I really, really hated that it kept returning to channel 9 whenever I stoped the engine. Oh, and the LCD screen is so tinny that I needed my glasses to read it. So Ive replaced it with a President Johnny III USA CB. The quality difference between the two is night and day. On the last jeeping trip I had both the HAM (an Yaesu FT400, also a great HAM radio) and the CB on, and I couldnt tell which one was which. I had to keep an eye on the HAMs VU-meter to figure out which was which. And this is with a 2 CB antenna. The thing I liked about the Cobra was its minimal size. But the President is not bad either: I have it sandwiched between the passengers seat and the cup holder console. Perfect fit, close to see, and control. The auto-squelch works absolutely amazingly. As I said: HAM sound quality! - Weather Alert - can do background scans of NOAA channels. - Manual squelch and ASC - Large Multi-functions LCD display - S-meter - ANL filter and HI-CUT - RF Gain - Scan - Priority channel memory - Roger Beep - Front microphone plug - perfect for using it with a JeepUniq mic mount! Downsides: a bit more expensive than comparative size CBs, but thats not apple to apple comparison this is a fully featured CB (it only lacks sideband to be considered top-of-the-line).
