I bought this portable CB to carry when I'm working alone on my land and in case of an emergency. With the stock rubber ducky antenna it communicates with a base station in my house loud and clear. My land is hilly and forested but I can talk to the house from over a mile with no problem.I also bought a K30 whip antenna for the car and with a coax adapter use the portable on the road also. It functions just as well as a mobile rig and with the K30 my SWR is less than 1.5 to 1.
I've owned a few of these over the years. This one is a very good one. Compact, good quality, great price, good reception and volume. If you're looking for a hand held CB radio, look no further.
I used to drive a semi. This thing was not the answer. Now I have a local job and drive a different truck every day. I missed the CB. You have to turn the radio down to hear anything. It gets horrible reception and when I tried to get a "radio check" nobody would ever answer me back.
Much better than FRS radios that I have already used. This is a very good CB handheld. Long range even in a dense urban environment (at 4 watt power TX). Taxi drivers and truckers could pick up my signal as far as 4 miles away. A signal meter could be a good improvement.
I use this radio every day in construction. I love it.Larry - Mars, PA
