Hmm, I don't see fifty years of CB innovation in this rig. :twisted:

What it should have is an embedded GPS like a GNS 430 in aviation. A built in time announcement synchronized to WWV, and SSB.

I still like my TRC-485 trc-485 - Google Search

50 years and no SSB. WTH?

Wow, it doesn't even look like a CB. It looks more like a ham radio.

That's what I thought gave it hope....and then I remembered how many are out there running modified HAM radios because they're easier to modify than an illegal amp is to find.

It does look good, might be kind of interesting to add it to a base station alongside HAM gear and be able to keep an ear on the local highway.

I had a Galaxy DX 88 that was nicer . Thought the 50th would top it~
