Title: Great Compact CB
Review: Great little CB radio. Overall once you get used to what function -is-where, it's easy and comfortable. With these newer compact CB radios SWR tuning is very important. Ive read where many people have difficulty after about one month--the older CB's had larger final transistors which were capable of handling more abuse- these newer ones have smaller, easier to burn out transistors and making sure your Whip and cables are tuned properly is an absolute must(if you want it to live a while). This unit will still talk if not tuned properly, however it wont last very long. I paired this up first with a cheapo $12.00 mobile antenna from Wal-mart and it talks > 2 miles (properly tuned) just fine. When I put a K40 on it- I got in excess of 5 miles,and I can pull in signal from > 8 miles down the road. If youre looking for a quality unit in a compact area, this one is it.
