Harrier CBX CB27/81 UK FM CB radio - On The Air test

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- If you saw the repair/service/alignment video for this radio, it was the set I did on Boxing Day 2023.
As usual, Mr Chippie drove along our usual 6-mile 'difficult terrain for radio' test route. He stopped at the 5-mile point do do a static low power test at 400mW. The radio worked well throughout.
These 1981 flagship sts use the Cybernet 134 chassis. Made in Japan.
Our continued thanks to Thunderpole for kindly supplying the T3000 radio used in the test vehicle at no cost to us. This is the sole reason for the 'paid promotion' flag on this video.

Hi richard I enjoy your air test also happy new year to you and mr chippy from paul chapman at east sheen 73's
Thank you Paul & New Year's greetings to you too,

Nice radio 😊👍
I've said it before and I'll surely say it again, but that CB X has a sharp-looking front panel.
Happy New Year, all! May all your transmissions be received loud and clear!

Fire brigade in CB slanguage is ‘Ladder Adders’. I feel Mr C should brush up on his slanguage to add authenticity to these tests!
Another cracking Cybernet rig. Belated new year greetings all (I'm still playing catch up after Christmas) :)
Thank you,

Happy New year to you too,

I’m looking for the best receiving radio could you recommend me some choices please I would really appreciate it 👍 I use FM
Some of these type of radios have the best ever receive sensitivity. We've had receive sensitivity of 0.25uV on these (Harrier CBX), Binatone 5-Star, Harvard 420M & SMC Oscar 1 (the one with the tiny meter). I've seen good sensitivity on other Cybernet 134 based sets, but never quite as good as those mentioned above. The Fidelity 2000 is usually better than 0.35uV too.
Now, the manufactuers said "better than 0.7uV"...so you go out & buy one & your's is 0.7uV & not the best of the best. This is why I've mentioned the models that I've found consistantly work exceptionally well. In contrast, the worst non-faulty Cybernet 134 set was a Rotel RVC240 doing littled more than 1uV. It's down to manufacturing/component tolerance.
I'm not aware of any current new sets with receive as sensitive as those mentioned.
Hope this helps,

@@ukfmcbradioservicingTango21 thank you so much for your detailed reply.
So are you saying the above mentioned radios would receive better than an anytone5555 n2 that has been modded by a screw driver expert? I’m really looking for the best receive I can find and if that’s the case I’ll find one of the ones you recommend and forget the Anytone…Thanks again good buddy 👍
@@outsider427 The Anytone 5555 isn't a legal CB radio, so as such surely anything legal is inherently better. It's sold as a 28Mhz amateur radio set. We all know it's an illegal CB masqurading as an amateur radio set. As amateur radio bands fall into harmonic relationship with other amateur bands, manufacturers are far less stringent on transmitter filtering....3.5Mhx, 7Mhz, 14Mhz, 28Mhz etc.

Oh I see so a normal legal just cb band radio will have less static noise purely because of the harmonic of the other bands.. thanks again sorry for the stupid questions I’m new to the hobby .
There is a lot of illegal CB operation. It's a criminal offence & can end in a 6-month prison sentence.
The dodgy firms who make illegal radio are onto a winner & clearly have no moral scruples. It's a winner for them as they will never have a warrenty claim as nobody can ever admit to using one. The 'export' illegal radios can only be used at sea 200miles off land.
The UK has more channels & modes legally available to CB users than any other country I can think of. UK 40 channels, 4W FM, then CEPT 40 channels in AM & FM at 4W & SSB at 12W PEP. Our government say "CB is a local hobby 2-way radio swervice offering up to 16KM range. Well I get up to 35 miles out here on UK FM.
I you are interested in DXing, simply become a licenced radio amateur. Dead easy multi-choice exam. I once had Russia on 12W fromthe car on UHF 70cms.
Do it legally & say 'no' to illegal hobbyists trying to drag you down to their level.

does it rain every day in the UK !
Seems to at the moment! Bear in mind this would be snow if it wasn't for the fact the temperature is currently around 9 Centigrade here....and not zero.
