Seems to work ok...i get engine noise through it thought, all the features work good and i really love the scan.

The radio is good for the $$ but i wish i paid $30 less for it! there is no RF gain which would make this a sweet deal, i pick up farther than i can transmit but cannot block out what i want to hear, if only i could turn down the RF! PA option would have been nice also. weather band is sweet! I installed it in the dash below my regular radio which is a bonus. sound tracker works decent as well as the dual watch but the scan feature is sketchy since there is no RF gain control! the knobs feel loose and chintzy feels like a G.I. Joe walkie talkie! i like the radio it will stay installed in the truck but i already ordered a sweet Connex 4600 Turbo SuperWhackedPacked for when i need to stomp the mud ducks! =op

Product was shipped and recieved very fast, and in great shape. This is a great CB radio with NOAA radio, and has scan for the cb channels. A great buy

I purchased this CB because I did not want to spend over $100 dollars.(in case of theft) It has a scan feature which is great, but I agree with the previous post that you sometimes have to play with the squelch to get some channels(while scanning). Weather channels are nice and the overall appearance of the radio is modern and not 70'ish. Soundtracker must be selected every time you turn the radio on if you really want to clearly hear anyone.(as it automatically shuts off the feature when the radio is turned off). Almost inaudible without this feature. It also has an rear plug if you happen to place the radio inside the glove box or arm rest center console area, you can run an external speaker to where you want it.You can swith between emergency channel 9 and info channel 19 by the push of a button. The handheld mic feels "Cheap","hollow" and "bulky" in contrast to the rest of the radio. I placed in center console of 2005 F150 and fit perfectly. MOST IMPORTANT(GOOD CABLE,GOOD ANTENNA, LOCATION). 18' low loss coaxial cable. I originally bought 12' because i did not want alot of bundled up cable under the carpet but I had to end up buying 18'. I am using with a 4' Wilson FGT antenna and I am between 1.5-1.7 SWR. Very pleased with the general appearance,features and size of this CB. Thank you.

it's great device and a great price for it, recommended for everybody who wants to start using a CB
