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

This device is very small and compact. Havent been able to use it yet. Had to order antennae. Have to get back to you with how it works.

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

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.
