Had mine the last few months. Yes table 3 gives you 25.610 to 30.100. I’m getting S3 of noise with my external antenna, do you ? Mid band is mostly AM from the USA or FM from Europe Russia etc though Ch 37 to 39 always LSB or USB. Totally dead here apart from a SSB Net on Thursdays
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones Yes that's all there is It seems. My interference seems to be local. I am meaning when using a base antenna not just the supplied rubber duck
I think the QYT CB-58 is a better handheld CB radio. The battery is much higher capacity, the display has better useful information, the SWR meter is just handy to check antenna matching. I used a car magnetic mount antenna to do some testing and had very good range. For some reasons CB handheld radio tends to be very battery power hungry the 4100mAh battery on the QYT will run the radio all day and more.
i bought 6 President Randys . All of the antennas fell apart . I purchased aftermarket HYS antennas plus BNC to TNT adapters so we could continue to use the radios. Where can I buy these radios ? I want the European version because they still use USA frequencies. Im here in New York City
You can use a Baofeng programming cable with this radio, and PNI software to change some settings. The software is meant for the pni escort hp82, but it's virtually the same radio, and same as the jopix variant as well. I prefer the Thunderpole TX, the signal display is better.
Use the NR feature it's amazing. Haven't used mine much but it's a great CB

If I stand away from the house it's ok just need a near contact did you find that the Menu only has Vox , Display and Power settings ?

What's the frequency range of the thunderpole?
Just ordered two of these I feel like I am the only 27 year old female interested in the hobbie
Have fun
Just got mine. Hardly anyone on so hoping a better antenna helps.
I've just got mine today , I'm hearing people but not getting any convos

Yes agree is a real truckers CB Hanheld looks great .
It comes with a bit that goes into the back where the pocket clip goes for hanging the radio in a car or by the charger
Thanks
Wouxun does a CB ht as well
Hi yes they do some good gear I have the ANYTONE 5555.

Hi cool great tip thanks
These remind me a lot of the standard horizon marine radios, thats not a bad thing
Agree
I prefer this one because it works with my baofeng motorcycle headset
Yes
Best after market antenna for this to extend RX and TX range?
Stand on a hill - everyone buts the 130cm telescopic on aliexpress
The preformance of the thunderpoll is on same level in my experience
Yes
I find with mine hold it with 2 hands picks up better
Thanks for the tip.
Thats probably am on eu fm i always pick up Americans on channels 6 and eleven
Yes agree
Hi. How do i swr this radio in do i swr uk fm am eu am fm or just uk fm and is it all 40 channels i swr in im very confused
Use both its fine .
Find a handheld CB that will work in the US and does sideband. That’s what I’m looking for. No luck.
