Modern look to compliment your audio equipment in you newer vehicle, has great functionality with weather/signal tracker/emergency/ch9/dual watch selection gives you multiple ways to run your radio. Not just a standard radio! Single DIN sized allows you to take advantage of that extra space some vehicles have below their car stereos along with a front firing speaker gives you multiple mounting options. Would have given it 5 stars but it did not have a PA option and the standard mic is hollow feeling. I recommend getting the Cobra Power Mic for enhanced performance. I also purchased a Wilson Lil Wil mag mount antenna which was tuned at 1.2 to 1 SWR right out of the box. Display is a little difficult to read in direct sunlight so keep that in mind when mounting this radio. Overall, great little radio reasonably priced with added functionality.

I purchased this CB radio to use in my Jeep for recreational off-road purposes. The club I was joining required that all members have functional CB radios in their Jeeps. The front firing speaker makes mounting options endless and the weather feature is great out on the trails to keep and eye on things if need be. I chose to mount my radio on top of the dash above the factory radio (small pocket area). For it's size, features, and easy installation you cannot beat this radio. I found this radio available on-line from other vendors for a slightly lower cost. However, I purchased mine from RightChannelRadios because you simply cannot be their customer service. Plus, their price was still really great!! Tack on their support for tech info and install and you've got a great deal. I've owned the radio now for several weeks and must say I'm very please with it's performance. However, I will agree with the other reviewer that it's hard to read the display in "any" sunlight. I have the Cobra 18WXST installed in my tow rig and it is much easier to read. For me it's not a big deal since I set the needed channel and never touch it again. As a fix, I believe you could place a small piece of window film (tint) over the display to help drown out some of the glare. I would definitely recommend this radio as a recreational CB unit.

The product is compact and has many features that the big radios have. With the built in weather radio I am always prepared when weather turns for the worst. I use the radio in my Ford Ranger to monitor road conditions as well as communicate with others. One thing that I didn't like was that the power cord is not detachable from the unit which doesn't allow me to hard wire it into my truck since I take it from one vehicle to another. The digital display is hard to read in direct sunlight, but at night you can still operate that CB with out extra light. I would have to rate the radio a 4 out of 5 it has a lot of features but it is hard to read the display during the daylight hours.
