Too much emphasis is placed on TX power. Of course more power does increase range, but not by as much as most people think. What matters more is the combination of skip conditions, operating location, and antenna efficiency. QRP SOTA guys know this.

In my opinion, once one gets into cb they will learn it's about having a quality radio with the antenna being the most important. It's all about the proper antenna. In other words, one can burn a lot of watts into a poor antenna setup and not have the capabilities of a setup with a moderate amount of watts output with a great antenna.

hello from Denmark, a little strange that the Uniden BEARCAT cannot be bought in a version
with fm / ssb / am or did I look wrong

[fadingbeleifs]

Bearcat? Cheap truckstop trash.
18 watts output- MAXIMUM.
That's with a solid peak and tune!!
Get a Stryker SR955HP or a General Lee... Galaxy is garbage anymore... Uniden has gone to the dogs... Pay good money for a top shelf radio and forget that truckstop special JUNK.
I own two of the Bearcat 980 SSB radios, trash displays, zero parts availability, weak backlights, anemic sound, useless SSB capabilities because you can't lock onto frequency accurately because the display doesn't show the freq down to the 100's of hertz... And the WB receive totally sucks.

Hooked into my 60 foot tower with a Maco V5000 on it, 200 feet of RG213, and it can BARELY grab the feed from a NOAA weather radio station, 10 air miles away... While my $11 box o' rocks chinese special picks it up just fine.. go figure... Uniden missed the mark on this on, and this same POS is also sold as a Road King radio... Ignore the junk in the truck stops... POWERFUL means POWER OUTPUT and frequency capabilities as well as mode of transmission... IE- AM, FM, SSB, CW, digital etc etc...

I have the 980 untouched and it's done the job for 3 yrs of abuse. Nice solid radio.

I've got the Connex 4300-300 with a custom cooler
I like driving down the block keying the roger beep and open and closing garage doors, setting off car alarms and opening and closing those touch lamps in people's homes :)
That is why I bought it . . .
Well I really bought it to sit in the supermarket parking lot and key up and come over the PA systems of the shopping centers :)

Hey you ! yea you in Isle 3, the cookie isle !
I knew I would find you here !
Do you really think you need 4 boxes of cookies?
Black boots with Red fuckin sweat pants dude !!!
You're just missin the fuckin reindeer !
Get the fuck out of our store !

My favorite is still the CRT 9900 SSB Radio.

[jackl]

Me personally I love my galaxy DX 959
And I tried the Bearcat it seemed fragile to me

[EdzashedFudwinkle]

Ranger SS -158FB4 or 64FFB4 are 10m radio's, easy jumper mod to add 11m, 200w Fm/Am Ssb 400/450(pep).
Only mentioned these as your 1st radio is a 10m McKinley, the Rangers are 2 radios I would consider importing from the USA, but be $700+ to do so, Aytone 5555/6666 are both 10m radios converted for 11m, so not technically cb radios.

Ich benutze das President MC Kinley. Dieses musste ich aber zuerst mal öffnen und etwas einstellen für die volle Leistung. Jetzt bin ich sehr zufrieden !!!

[adoggiebarajas]

My Uniden 980SSB display is fading away. Is it the display or the control switch? Can I or a local shop fix? Is it worth repairing? Uniden wants $65 !

[ericephemetherson]

What do they mean most powerful? Watts wise?

[sphillips]

These may be the best available today, but they can't compare to the radios of yesterday. My Buddy Base used a 6146 power output tube and could be easily tuned up. Wish I never sold it. If anyone comes across it, I have a standing offer of $2500.00 for my old Buddy Base, serial number 111 if in working condition and if including the working digital VFO connected to it at the time I sold it.

[t.johnmcmanus]

So the way it sounds cb radios are making a come back. Is that right or not.

[zarkeh]

Kinda looking at number, 2. Galaxy DX959B looks like it might still function while being frozen in the arctic. LCD's are slow to non-responsive when frozen... My take anyways, <3 all

[robertspears]

Well the ffc would love me back in the day a had a moded president grant pushing 50 watts with uppers and lowers plus to 600 watt linear amps and a 9 foot whip

[steeleworldwide]

Why does this guy sound like he's taking the cosby kids to the sandbox when he modulates?

[dkphill]

Can someone do a YouTube video of car cb radios that can go over 4 Watts easily (for educational purposes only) what cb radio it is, how to tune it up, and state the rf power output... I'd like to get 25w rf output on a 12v car cb radio preferably under £100 ($140 us)

[markgabello]

Good reviews you have any coming up for Cobra CB sideband radios

[pitsmcgoo]

A 200 watt kicker will keep most clowns from stepping on you.
