PRO401HH

For less then forty dollars I was able to get a handheld CB radio that easy to hold and has simple controls. Sound from the speaker is decent, dials and buttons work as designed, and LED is nice and bright. There is not a lot of CB traffic in my area, so the antenna supplied with the radio does not pick up much activity. But when I attach it to an external antenna on my car, I am able to hear everything going on while driving on the freeway. AA Alkalines last a long time in this radio. This CB is a great choice for someone who wants to get into CB radio and "test the waters" before investing in pricier equipment. I bought a second one for my teenager so he can have some fun license-free!

I was having trouble with my CB inside of my truck purchased the two-way radio and it work good would recommend you buy it

Not worth it. No power. Unless another person on their radio is right next to you you won’t hear them. Very disappointed.

This is a solid little radio! It has worked very well for the time that I have had it. It is well built and has a sturdy, durable construction. It has seen some rain and moisture but still operates perfectly and has never ceased to function. The range is not great in places with a lot of obstruction (maybe 1/8 to 1/2 a mile) walkie talkies will usually outperform it in these conditions. But if you are in an area with less obstruction, I have found it usually outperforms walkie talkies by a considerable margin. On mountain summits I have managed to talk with people about 15-20 miles away just using the stock 'rubber duck' antenna. Connecting an external antenna to the radio (it has a BNC connector) will allow you to greatly increase the radio's range.

Seems to be well-built. Feels solid in your hand. The Midland hand-held mic with clothing clip works well, plug and play. sound and voice quality better. With basic Amazon rechargeable AA batteries the battery life is very good. It does have some negatives. Even with an SWR of 1:1.05 the radio on high output only produces 2.8 watts of dead key (no modulation) and 0.8 watts on low power. The rubber antenna is only a basic so don't expect much distance. A nicer antenna would work much better. Checkout the folding type on Amazon. Would buy again.

Well I was excited to get this for 2 reasons 1 Years ago I used Uniden mobile and base 2 I was confident In the Brand. But I must say that the reception Is sub par At first I thought It was the antenna so I purchesed a telescopic one. I live 3 blocks from a truck route so I should be able to hear something all I get Is static and what I can hear Is drowned out Now the Good It Is 40 channel so channel selection Is good . As for programming that's already done.

I remember in the 70's CB radios were the way to go. It actually saved mine and my family's life on a cross-country trip to New York from California. Stuck in Omaha, NE in a blizzard, couldn't get my vehicle started and the CB'ers contacted a tow truck for me to get my bus started. Well nowadays with cell phones CB's are an amusing blast from the past but you can still sometimes get lucky and get a stratospheric skipped signal and hear/talk to someone thousands of miles away. This portable CB is quality and works like a charm and the price amazes me (got it for 40 bucks). Nowadays it's a very high quality walkie talkie so is still relevant. Better to buy this than some .5 watt WT and you get 4 whole watts meaning much more range.

This radio seems very well built and designed like all the Uniden products I’ve owned. The sound quality is great, and it takes about 10 seconds to figure out how to use it, it’s very simple. I will say it drains batteries fast, so get the rechargeable batteries for it. Seems to have decent power and range with the right antenna. And the ability to charge the rechargeables with the power cable is neat. Also a great value for the price, can easily be made into a small mobile unit for a car in temporary setups.

Pues el producto es bueno, funciona, solo que el alcance es muy corto, co.prare una antena extra

Bonne qualité

Great purchase. Price is good. Only had it for a weeks and have picked up a few CB users in my area.

The radio has a BNC connector, so the supplied short "rubber duck" antenna can easily be replaced by a longer antenna that extends the line-of-sight range. Since you are probably buying this to use from a vehicle, you will be disappointed with the range if you try to use the stock antenna inside a vehicle. You should also buy an antenna that you can mount outside the vehicle. Longer/taller will be better. Note that most external antennas have a cable with a "UHF" connector for a non-handheld CB radio. That can be used, but you will also need a BNC to UHF adapter (not very expensive). This radio is advertised as "4 Watts." The FCC limit for conventional amplitude modulation (what this and most CBs do) is a 4 Watt carrier. When 100% modulated, that gives a 6 Watt total power level. (For single-side-band [SSB], which this radio, and most CB radios do NOT do, the FCC limit is 12 Watts). I bought a cheap power/SWR meter ( https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B086QPTXQT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details ) and verified that it was within the 10% power accuracy spec by comparing it to an oscilloscope when driving a 50 Ohm terminator (yes, I'm a nerd). If I use 9 Ni-MH batteries, the carrier power (no voice into the microphone), is only a bit more than 2 Watts. The spec sheet says 4 Watts at 13.8 Volts. But the supply voltage at 1.2 volts times 9 Ni-MH cells is only 10.8 Volts. If you use 9 alkaline batteries at 1.5 Volts per cell, that's 13.5 Volts. A car battery is about 12.6 Volts, and when the engine is running, the alternator will run at around 14 Volts to charge the car battery. The radio has an external-power jack, and comes with a cigarette-lighter plug. It will use the cigarette-lighter power instead of internal battery power when plugged in, and re-charge Ni-MH batteries (if the switch in the battery compartment is set properly). I have a 15 Volt power supply that fits the cigarette-lighter plug. Using that power supply, the carrier goes up to about 4 Watts into a 50 Ohm load, vs about 2 Watts on Ni-MH batteries. So I conclude that the power is pretty close to as-advertised, and at the FCC limit, if you use alkaline batteries, or the cigarette-lighter plug, but lower with Ni-MH baterries. You will probably be happier for use in a vehicle if you use the cigarette-lighter plug to get a bit more power, and use the tallest external antenna compatible with conditions.
