Radioddity CB-27 Pro CB Radio 40-Channel Mini Mobile with AM FM Instant Emergency Channel 9/19, 4W Power Output, LCD Display, VOX, RF Gain, and Handheld Mic

For its size, this CB radio packs a punch. Every time I transmit and ask for a radio check, I get very positive reports of how loud and clear I sound. I typically use this as a base unit for communication with truckers at work; however, it also makes a capable mobile radio. In fact, the tiny size of this radio makes it ideal as a mobile unit in a smaller vehicle; however, the button-driven design for adjusting squelch and RF gain (in conjunction with the microphone’s up/down buttons) makes on-the-road adjustments a little too awkward and distracting for my liking—as opposed to more traditional, slightly larger models that feature rotating knobs for squelch and RF gain adjustments. Also, the included cigarette lighter adapter for the power doesn’t seem to do as well in cancelling engine noise or electrical interference as I would like, making it necessary to hardwire it to the battery or fuse box. Hence my preference of using it as a base station: overall less headache in my opinion. It does well with a variety of antennas. I have used a short, standard magnetic base antenna; a sizable magnetic base whip antenna; and a fiberglass Firestik. However, it seems it did best with the Firestik, with little to no antenna tuning required to get an acceptable SWR. Transmission and reception with the Firestik were also superior. Although the legal FCC power limit for transmitting on a CB is 4 watts, I’m willing to bet that this little beast puts out more power than that. The clarity and volume when transmitting just seem too impressive for a standard 4 watt radio. However, I’ve not actually tested the power output it to confirm this. All told, this is a fantastic little CB for the price. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a small but powerful radio for tight quarters.

This radio has a loud speaker, has FM modulation, and it's impossibly small. I use it on road trips and it picks up signals fine. Before you start driving be sure to study the manual because the auto-squelch feature is quite tricky to adjust while driving. I would have liked a squelch knob instead, but the squelch is a "smart" squelch which is handy in the noisy AM mode. No automatic noise limiting (ANL) but that is a minor omission in such a small and affordable radio. The automatic gain control (AGC) works great and is adjustable. Comes with the power supply cord, which is unusual at this price point. It does have channel scanning. Just hold down the A/F button. Overall, it's a very good CB and if you can find drivers on FM it's even better.

Trucker. This is a AM/FM CB radio. make sure you set it to AM as most of us are using older radios that are AM. Depending on you set-up. Generally it is not very long range. It will get across the grass and about a mile to my front escort. That's about all I need. Squelch and gain are select button type of thing and not easy to fiddle with. Sort of set and forget. easy to do when you're not rolling. Simple controls on the mic-good. And the small size gets it out of the way. Had this a few years and has always worked well. Good product if your not the driver that has to keep messing with your radio.

I needed a CB for my SUV for a long road trip. This little thing works fantastic. Best of all, it has a small form factor, so it will fit in places other CBs won't. Squelch works great, reception is nice and clear. I'm also impressed that this unit has the option to use FM instead of AM. The built-in speaker is a little quiet, but there's an option for an external speaker if you need one. I also like that the channel selector buttons are on the microphone - so I don't need to reach down and change the channel, can use the microphone instead. Well worth the low-cost for this CB.

I have two of these. 1 in my JK and 1 in my JKU. Works well . If you go topless you may want to invest in a speaker as it is alittle hard to hear when going down the highway.

Two radio's, two antennas, two speakers and two different vehicles and still could not receive any AM or FM channels as well as the emergency channels never worked. I find this radio to be complete trash.

It is small and good for applications with limited space. The squelch feature is a little bit complicated. Picks up distant signals but has a high noise floor. It can pick up a bit of static.Transmission is good for several miles. I had an issue with my first unit which revealed itself after the 30 day return policy. I contacted Raddiodity and their service was first rate. They sent me a prepaid shipping label and expedited the exchange. I am getting a flat 1:1 SWR on all channels without touching the antenna. I will take it for a test drive tomorrow to see how it transmits and receives in busy areas. I live in the woods so there is not much local.

Nice little CB radio for and emergency

Cette radio possède un haut-parleur, une modulation FM et elle est incroyablement petite. Je l'utilise lors de voyages en voiture et il capte bien les signaux. Avant de commencer à conduire, assurez-vous de lire le manuel, car la fonction d'arrêt automatique est assez difficile à régler pendant la conduite. J'aurais préféré un bouton de silencieux à la place, mais le squelch est un silencieux « intelligent », ce qui est pratique en mode AM bruyant. Pas de limitation automatique du bruit (ANL), mais c'est une omission mineure dans une radio aussi petite et abordable. Le contrôle automatique du gain (AGC) fonctionne très bien et est réglable. Livré avec le cordon d'alimentation, ce qui est inhabituel à ce prix. Dans l'ensemble, c'est un très bon CB et si vous pouvez trouver des drivers sur FM c'est encore mieux. Je la recommande fortement
