President Johnny III USA 40 Channel CB Radio 12 or 24V, Black

Small and compact lots of power and real clear would recommend highly

Youre going to need a antenna pluse all electric servers for 12v. All you get is the radio.

Just bought this on March 31, 2021 and the display quit working. I contacted the service dept. and have now shipped this radio to them at my expense of$15.00 and some change in hopes of it being replaced or repaired. So with the shipping charges on top of me purchase price, I have what may well be an inferior product at a superior price.

Ive owned over 10 various CBs ranging in cost and capabilities and this little CB is my favorite so far. Its simple and easy to use, clear sounding with all the options I need in the offroad community

Good radio

Big big disappointment! Went to install it in my semi & would not power up. Doesnt say a whole lot for its manufacturer, nor retail whom shipped it prior to insuring that it was a functioning unit.

This is a good alternative if you dont have space for a regular single din sized CB such as a Uniden 980SSB. The reason I only give it four stars is that I think the buttons are kind of small. I compared the President Andy, President Bill, President Johnny III, and Uniden 980SSB (already owned the uniden as a base station). I didnt have room for the Uniden so I went with the President Andy. The tipping scale between all the president models was the speaker loudness. Means I dont have to have an external speaker. With the Bill model I definitely would have needed an external speaker and possibly for the Johnny model. The Uniden and the Pres Andy both had good speakers on par with each other. Pros Smallish size, decent speaker, Best reception of pres units, channel change on mic, quick access to wx, 9/19 button, rf gain knob, channel buttons on mic Cons screen not as bright as pres andy, shows freq on screen making channel numbers smaller, picks up engine noise, buttons small, scanning kinda slow, only three screen colors, no talkback

I tried different CDs in the past and I must say that this CB is the best Ive ever owned

What can I say. This radio works & has all the features you need except upper & lower side band. I got into CB back in n the 1970s during the gas shortages & helped in starting a CB Radio Club & then a Ham radio club. I purchased this radio for a SHTF situation to talk locally to my family if the cell phones went down. I was disappointed to hear only the idiots on ch 19 and no local communications or nets in operation. Seems to work good in my car and might be OK as a base station with a decent antenna & power supply. Will probably take it out of my car & place it in a faraday cage or an unused microwave oven to protect it from an EMP attack. Hopefully that will never happen, but if it does the radio should work fine if others did the same thing. No problems with this rig but I dont think it can campare with the Cobra & Browning LTD radios from the 1970s

I expected high quality, and instead the screws to hold the mic mount don’t even grab in the case. (stripped out) always a disappointment when you order something and it isn’t right directly from the manufacturer.
