Bottom Line: A very full-featured CB for those looking for most performance-enhancing features in a mobile-type unit.
Cons: Like any mobile CB, its a bit larger than a remote or handheld CB and will also necessitate a bit of installation time. Keep in mind that CB radios operate at a fairly low frequency (27 MHz) and consequently need a larger antenna outside the vehicle to provide reasonably good range, just like your cars AM/FM radio (0.5 to 108 MHz). Lacks Single Side Band capability, but if your intent is acquiring random road and speed trap tips from strangers, you really dont need that anyway.
Pros: This is a very full-featured mobile CB radio. It is one of the few CBs with full nighttime illumination; that means all the controls, not just the channel selector and meter. Many performance-enhancing features like a built-in SWR meter (to maximize the match up between CB and antenna) and a built-in microphone gain control. RF gain allows adjusting receiver sensitivity. Also includes 7 weather channels and weather alert tone. Includes microphone, mounting bracket, direct wire power cord and microphone hanger (antenna not included).
