 My first CB Radio Feb 28, 2001
By K. A. Young
"youngka"
This unit looks and works great. Installation was easy and the performance has been great. Has all the adjustments that I was looking for plus the weather channels. I didn't really want the weather channels at the time of purchase, but I'm glad I have them now.The cosmetics are great -- chrome dials, silver face, green back-lighting, analog signal meter. The unit is not a compact unit, but I was able to fit it under the radio in my '96 Ford Ranger without too much trouble. The 9' microphone cord seemed really long to me when I saw that on the spec sheet, but it is actually about perfect. There are a couple of downsides: The Dynamic Squelch Control is completely useless. As far as I can tell, it just automatically sets the squelch to a higher-than-appropriate level. With DSC on, you miss all low-powered transmissions and some high-powered ones. DSC works great if you're only interested in a ~300' radius. I never turn mine on. The other downside is that it's nearly impossible to determine the knob positions by sight. That is, you can't easily look down and see that the volume is at 1/2 and squelch is at 1/8, etc. Neither of these downsides are that big of a deal, though. BTW, I use the RF Gain control much more than squelch to fine tune my reception. Don't buy a CB radio without RF Gain.

Excellent CB Mar 19, 2003
This CB is perfect for any person interested in CB radios. Mounted it in my 94 Ford Explorer easily. Every aspect of the CB is useful. The dynamic squelch is very useful for beginners when they're not quite sure how to set the squelch just right. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a CB.

 Bearcat PC68XL Jun 26, 2010
By Douglas Mumaw
I am very happy with the CB itself, good range and very clear. If I was still in the Navy I'd say it will give you "5X5" tx/rx. However, the mic quit working within two months, and I had to purchase an alternate brand mic. Apparently in order to have the mic replaced under warrenty, I would have had to send the mic and the radio back for repair. For less than the cost of shipping I was able to buy another mic.
Super Duper Jul 29, 2011
By Mr. Resistor
I loves it, great price middle of the road radio, the stock mic is very clear. Matched it up with k30 mag antenna, flat SWR. No hum or road noise, excelent in simplicity.

Product shipped fast, in fantastic condition. Exactly as I would expect out of a Uniden, great quality and works like a charm.
