Radioddity CS-47 Small CB Radio, AM/FM, 40-Channel, One Hander Microhone Built-in Speaker Noise Reduction, Large 7-Color Backlit LCD Display, VOX, RF Gain Long-Range for Offroad, Trucker, Backcountry

I am not able to get this to work, but it looks like a cool piece, Im not sure if mine is defective or its just not a good quality item

Super small head unit, comes with bracket for underdash mounting and wiring for fuse box. All controls are on the Mic for easy one handed use. I actually placed head unit under the seat after putting a standard cigarette lighter plug on wires. This makes it easy to move from car to car if needed. Unit works well, great for traveling and staying in contact with other vehicles you are traveling with. I would recommend.

very small and compact . fits in center console of my tacoma . works great as a backup for my gmrs radio when i am off road.

Great CB radio to listen for emergencies or talk to your friends who have one.

I was planning on having this unit as a home base system until I tried to use it and some of the basic functions. My main issue with it is the squelch function. It is not very easy to use and ended up driving me a little crazy trying to figure out the adjustment for it. I am about 7 miles from the main interstate and like talking to some of the truck drivers as they come through the area. I have been using a 30+ year old Uniden radio in my car and wanted something I could use in the house. I have a home made dipole antenna in the attic which works great with my old radio. My SWR is 1.4 on channel 40 and 1.1 on channel 1 using my old radio. With this radio I cant get the SWR below 1.4. It varies between 1.3 and 1.7. And this is just by changing the radio, nothing with the antenna itself. The colors on the display are a great feature, but if I cant use it easily and get the SWR figured out, then I cant talk very good with it. I have other Radioditty equipment for HAM radio and they dont have any issue. I believe I can get it figured out and make it useful, just probably not for my home unit.

Always wanted to get a CB since I was a kid in the 70s when CBs were all the rage. This is a very compact yet capable 40-channel CB - good value for the money. For home use you would need a 13.2 volt power supply (I already had one) that can handle a few amps of current. I just needed to purchase a CB antenna which I did. I did not do a SWR test/calibration which everyone should do for maximum performance - I just didnt have the time but will do so soon. Nevertheless, I connected the antenna and reception was good from my apartment window - I suspect reception would even be better outdoors in a mobile setup (there is an under dash mounting bracket supplied). Transmission clarity was good as I talked to several CBers and they heard loud and clear from about 2-5 miles away - not bad from a basement apartment window! All functions are done via the mic PTT handset. Tried several channels and it seems to work well across several channels. This unit requires some getting used to as there are many functions available from the handset, so there is a learning curve to access special functions. Good value for the money and a good starter CB for home or mobile use.

Great little CB radio that operates in the AM and FM bands!! Really small profile but powerful output. Had decent reports when transmitting to the local area. I’m pleased with the durability of the unit and the compact nature of this radio. Very intuitive to use too! Easy to recommend!

Im no electrical engineer, but with just two wires (hot & ground), this really shouldnt be that hard to figure out. Connect the wires: Red-to-Red; Black-to-Black; connect an antenna... and nothing. I mean Ive built full computer systems from scratch. This should be cake. Check the fuse. Nope Replace the fuse. Nope Check the power source. Nope It could be I happened to get a radio that was DOA or it could be that there is something wrong with my installation. I cant honestly say. The radio comes with an instruction manual on how to use the radio once its working, but no information on how to properly install it or the best type of antenna to use. Given this is my first CB radio, I will give it the benefit of the doubt that there is something I am missing, but troubleshooting would be easier if the instructions were a bit more thorough. Beyond that, the radio seems well built. The body is quite compact - easy to fit into any vehicle or small space - and it feels quite solid. The handpiece is comfortable and the buttons are well placed with a responsive feel. If I could get the thing to work, I imagine it would be a decent CB radio. I would likely give it at least four stars if I was actually able to use it. Its too bad installation hasnt been as user friendly as I thought it would be.

This little cb radio is perfect to keep on hand for emergencies or general driving use. All off the radio feature are on the mic so you can mount the body of the radio out of the way. This is a great little cb that also include fm (newer feature added to cb airwaves by the fcc).

This is a good radio to have on our RV. We enjoy chatting with other vehicles on the road while traveling. The hands free mic is a must have feature. Small, compact and powerful.
