Excellent Handheld,
This is an excellent handheld CB for the money. It is perfect for taking on road trips. Having a CB along when travelling on interstates is very nice. You can hear the truckers chat about what is going on in front and behind you. It is a great way to keep aware of the road conditions. This radio comes with a cigarrette lighter adapter so it is real easy to just take it in whatever car you want and not have to worry about batteries. a cb is a must for any vehicle and this one is so affordable that you should not pass it up. Another really cool thing is that it will fit perfectly in a cup holder!

|for those complaining of poor transmission power,
I think you’re missing a fundamental fact about handheld radios. They don’t work well inside of a car. For people who are used to mobile CB’s with an external antenna, of much greater length, sitting out on top of the car and using the body of the car as a ground plane… you just can’t compare that to a handheld. You’re going to hate it. If you’re inside of the car, the metal body of the car is destroying most of your transmission. You need to get the antenna outside of the car. If that means getting the necessary adapters and wiring your handheld to a magnetic mount antenna on your roof, then so be it. You will find you radio is getting out MUCH farther with that external antenna.

|works as I suspected,
To me this radio works better than the small two way radios, thats why I bought it. Yes it’s a little bigger than the 2 way radios, but what I really wanted was more clearly transmission and a longer range which is what I got.
