PRO401HH Professional Series 40 Channel Handheld CB Radio, 4 Watts Power with Hi/Low Power Switch, Auto Noise Cancellation, Belt Clip and Strap Included

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

Please be aware that UK and USA CB frequencys are different.

Works great, would recommend getting a extendable antenna with it. Uses AM channels so mainly for long range use. Check what type of channels your local group uses if you have one but is great overall

This is absolutely useless for the UK. It is for US stations only it will not work in the UK. You can even ask the AI on Amazon. It will tell you it will not work in the UK. I would like a refund, but I don’t know how to get one. I don’t get much sense out of Amazon, which is a crime shame

Not a bad radio does the job

Cannot receive any British radio stations

Product does not work in uk it’s a lot of money to pay goods not comparable in uk bit of a rip off

Purchased for UK use. No matter what channel, or UK location, I can only copy people who speak in Hindi? Which is, चॉकलेट फायरगार्ड जितना उपयोग।.

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

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!

Bonne qualité

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

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.
