Radioddity CB-27 Pro 40-Channel Mini Mobile CB Radio with AM/FM Instant Emergency Channel 9/19, 4W Power Output, VOX, RF Gain, and Handheld Mic

AM/FM scan and auto squelch . Theres channels in other regions that fall under 10m so thats a perk 10/11m and scan sold it for me good radio, auto squelch works great.

Nice little radio if it worked. I purchased it on Sept 9, 2021, and installed it in late October in my F150 with a small mag mount CB antenna. It only received if I was within 50 feet of another user. After a couple of months on the road, I figured it had to be a bad antenna. Last week, I borrowed a friends spare radio and tried it in my truck with the original mag mount antenna. It worked great. I see other users also complained of poor or no reception. My suggestion is to either pay $30 more for a better radio or try this one immediately when it arrives and check it for proper operation. As others mentioned the controls are clunky. I like separate volume and squelch knobs especially while driving.

Installed in seconds and worked well. Speaker was loud and clear. I also loved the skin feature that would stop on a channel until that channel lost signal then would keep moving. Great feature. Easy to adjust, squelch and gain.

I purchased this unit for use in my RV for when were traveling. The unit is really small as everyone described & appears to be well made. The features are basic but its a good value for the money. The item Im really disappointed in & the reason for the 3 star rating is the microphone coiled cable. Its REALY, REALLY stiff! It feels like if you extend it more than a couple of inches it would pull the connector out of the radio. Yeah, its that stiff. I tried manually stretching it out several time to try & loosen it up, but no real change. I fixed the problem by replacing the coiled cable w/ an ethernet flat style cable with a RJ45 connector to go into the radio. Only 3 of the 8 wires plus the ground are used. Its flexible & easy to use now. I dont understand how the manufacturer could make a decent CB radio & stick a crappy microphone cable on it. Update 12/22/22: I was contacted very quickly by the manufacturer concerning the problem I was having with the microphone cable on the CB radio and that has been resolved. Ive updated my review to reflect their very prompt response. Thank you.

I have a Ram Promaster 2500. This cb is the perfect. The sound is bigger than its size. It is just what was needed.

Nice little (=VERY small) radio. Measures 6W output on swr 1.5. Waiting for a mobile antenna, cant really test it at home due to noise levels way too high (the curse of modern life). Update: Got it mounted in my car and hooked up to a Firestick antenna. Checked SWR and got it as close to perfect as one can. receiving is very good and had several conversations with no problems. Mic connector is weak though and seems to need a sturdier connector on the mic cable.... it falls out constantly so cant talk while driving

Neutral

Good radio for the price. Down fall is menu driven control is hard to use while moving as compared to dial control. Rubber boot on microphone is useless. Does not stay against radio at connection to radio, Mike is picky on PTT use. Sometimes will key fine others you have to try twice.

Fits perfectly in your vehicle without being huge option

I like Radioddity and have dealt directly with them in the past. They have stood behind their stuff in the past when I had problems. I should have sent this back, but I tried to give it more of a chance as there isnt a lot of CB activity around here. When testing finally you really have to press the microphone and the modulation and sound quality arent that great per the few I tested it with. Unfortunately, the mic isnt easily replaceable and its hard to find out what would be compatible for hardwiring. Its a shame really. The little radio is a great size for either in and out use or to install in tight places. I did CB wayyyy back in the 70s and 80s. Now Im both amateur and GMRS licensed, but still wanted to keep a hand in CB now and then. Great idea, poor execution on this radio.
