Rating : - Great CB, great value for the money
I'm running this CB with a Wilson "Little Wil" antenna, perfectly tuned, and it works great. I haven't peaked it or anything, but it seems to have plenty of power as is. About 2-3 miles in town loud and clear. The only thing I don't like about it is the squelch range is wrong. I have to turn the squelch almost all the way up to get silence and it's very touchy up at that end. My XM radio that I have mounted below the CB does generate some noise, but even with that turned off, it still has to be turned almost all the way up. It could just be a manufacturing defect; I might have to change a resistor or something.
