Let me see if I can help you out. My opinion's a CB is a CB and, as CB radios go, the first edition PC-66XL and PC-78XL were good AM CB units....they still are. All I really require in such a radio is an on/off/volume knob and a channel selector with channel indicator, although a good noise blanker/limiter is a nice touch. If all anyone else wants is a good performing basic CB, the Uniden Pro510 is the way to go....$35-$45 depending on the source.
Anybody that's been doing this for awhile will have their own equipment to check/adjust SWR and other functions. I just don't care for the other $0.50-$10.00 trinkets the manufacturers bundle in a unit to raise the radio price $50-$100 more.
I can look out the window to find out the weather, I have something better than a radio's built-in SWR function to dial in my installations, and if I want to go to channel 9 I can twist the channel selector, etc.

I'm thinking that 29 listed in your signature will have a clearer cleaner crisper sound. And frankly it's annoying when you're trying to talk to someone and the echo gets to be severe (very minimal can sound ok though). It's one thing to sound cool, it's another thing entirely to converse with someone, just something to keep in mind if you try and talk to me while I'm on the road and the CB is on.

I would probably cringe at what the guy in the video charged for that radio. "8 hours of labor", doesn't really seem worth it on that little radio for some echo and 18 watts, just my o2. What a salesman that guy is in the video lol.

That's a good deal. Sometimes you see guys throw an echo board and some aftermarket lights on a radio, and try to get rich off of someone. Enjoy your new radio. |

Quote:
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you've got
