    I bought this unit recently, so far I've had good results.
    I'll be putting an external speaker in soon but it seems to be a good little rig.

    I bought this so I can mount it on a piece of plywood, thus move it from my house to car. I do not use CB radios but in the event of a hurricane cellular and internet can go down when you need it the most. Further, on the road, your cell phone may go down so this is a nice backup system as Channel 9 is the emergency channel. I also like it that it is powered with a cigarette lighter which is already attached. I listen to it sometimes and it is amusing to hear truckers on it.

      Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I live in earthquake country so I like the idea of having a CB when cellular takes a header. Having been a cross country truck diver (OTR) I can attest to how amusing listening to some drivers can be.

    Nice overview. I'm still trying to decide what radio to get. It's down to this one and Presidents Bill 2 at almost double the cost. Regardless, something better or cooler will come out shortly after I buy one.😎👍 Thanks for doing this overview.

      I'm awaiting the arrival of a President Bill II FCC (has both AM & FM) which I will be putting in my Jeep (Gladiator). Am keeping tabs on President to see when they will put FM on their McKinley (USA model, as they already have FM on it for their export model McKinley) so I can have all three bands (AM, SSB & FM). When (if?) President does that, will get a McKinley to use it as a base-station.

    So this thing is Not a true amplitude modulation. I went to a UK site where the tester pulled off the cover and it was missing the audio transformer, used for receive audio and superposing audio onto the carrier. So there's no swing. I should have thought about that before it ordered one. I forgot about that part of AM transmitter 😒😒 Thx, N6ZUS

    • @davidbayley5194
      @davidbayley5194 Год назад

      From a look at other small form factor AM FM CB's, it is lacking the audio transformer that superimposes audio onto the AM carrier. Also I have not seen any tuning slugs for the final output stage. There may be a hidden menu in there to raise the power. But you're not gonna get the nice swing of a real amplitude modulation transmitter. 73, N6ZUS
