> 3 dayInstalled this in place of the original radio on my 1971 Volkswagen Beetle with a custom made mount - this guy is pretty tiny and would imagine it is more meant for vehicles with little to no space under the dash or near the buckle area of a seat. The speaker is bottom mounted and does provide clear enough sound from others where you can hear them over the noise of a rattly old engine. No complaints from others over the radio and asking for a quality check I received a loud-n-clear so I imagine the budget microphone is fine enough for getting the word out. I was surprised since I was worried that the poor electrical system in my vehicle would really hurt the performance of the radio, but clearly not. This is my first personal CB Radio, having only used friends, and from a control perspective, it seems to work fine enough connected.

> 3 dayCobra has always been a good name in car electronics. You will need to use an antenna with this, and it can be plugged into the cigarette lighter, although I think its not recommended. To hook it up that way. I recommend my friend, breaker, breaker 19. Thank you. God bless you. May the rest of your life be the best of your life. OZ

> 3 dayIve used this brand for a long time and was stoked to be able to review this. You have to have it mounted and since we were doing a rear camera for our trailer, we put this in as well. Great price and i like that its small so it doesnt take up hardly any space and you can put it discreetly in a place without much attention unless someones really looking in your car for nefarious reasons.

> 3 dayTo be fair and honest, Im a ham radio operator. I really prefer having 20 watts or 50 watts in the car to get out past the trees. However, I also want to have the backup of a CB. This one is it. Its a nice little unit that works really well. It receives nicely. Speaker is good and loud. Transmission seems to be good and I got good signal reports out on the highway. I couldnt reach the highway from the house (its about 2 miles), but maybe with a better antenna than the one on the car, it could. Setup is easy. Operation is easy & clear. Controls made sense. Everything went together easily. Great little radio.

> 3 dayIts in theory a nice radio with a mic or the option to use hands-free which is not bad when driving. Youll need to buy a fair amount of equipment in order to get this to work correctly, so be sure to look at whats included, what you already have, what you want to do with it/where you want to mount it, and be sure that itll meet your needs before spending the money. I think there are better solutions out there for the price, but if youre integrating this into an existing set-up or replacing a radio, it could be a viable option.

> 3 dayThis is a CB radio that I havent tried before and Ive had a few experiences with them a long, long time ago. It was a lot of fun to get into this and to get it set up, working the way that I want, and to get it installed correctly. With that said, the instructions were lackluster (to be nice) and it didnt come with a plug or anything as it needs to be hard wired. I love options so a plug wouldve been great. It works fine and has a bit of power for a small CB radio. Pros: Not a big entry cost to get into it Easy to setup if you know what you are doing (or dont mind searching online) Works well Cons: Dont like the lack of instructions Wish it came with a plug

Greater than one weekThis radio is a very good radio but the modulation is next to nothing. There is no power mic Or a adapter cord for 4 Pin mic.
