  • Good but big
Style: PC78LTX
Good radio for the price It is large in size and would not recommend to install it in a regular car. But would work great in a full size truck or possibly van with lots of under dash space or overhead space. Hard to tell the quality of the radio when so much of it depends on a quality antenna and adjustments. But it appears to work well. If I had a chance to do it over, I would pick a smaller radio that scans all channels instead of being locked into 1 channel at a time. Was different 10 years ago when all trucks traveling East /West would use a specific channel. But now days it’s scattered over any channel. But in doubt go to ch. 19 One negative when I received the radio the casing had a couple dings in it. Might be from pre assembly or ? (Don’t think it was during shipping) but does not seem to affect its performance. ... show more

  • Looks just like the older chrome faced CB’s from the past.
Style: PC78LTXFM
Easy to operate, and works well. Looks very similar to the Grant XL but I wish it would be offered with SSB. FM is great as long as you’re close to another FM radio. Overall, I’m happy with it

  • Seems to be a good radio
Style: PC78LTX
Just got this radio to mount in my truck. It's large but has all of the features you need. I was able to wire it up in about an hour (already had antenna and COAX cable ran, just had to switch out radios and power wires). I managed to lose the little screws that holds the radio into the mount. I was able to use a M5 .8x12mm machine bolt from Ace Hardware. Couple month later update: radio is holding up well. Friends are able to hear me clearly at pretty good distances even with obstacles. I'm still very happy with my purchase. ... show more

  • Inexpensive and Powerful
Style: PC78LTX
This radio was clear and powerful out of the box. With an Astatic 636l,and 102" bumper mounted whip mounted on an '06 Sterling Triaxle dump. I had it peaked and tuned @ "Bob's CB Shop" for $25 after the first year, and now get out easily to 4 miles. For around $200 for the whole setup, I highly recommend this product and seller. (Update 2023) After 4 seasons of blacktopping and aggregate hauling this radio still works flawlessly! It outperforms it's direct competitors (Cobra 29 ltd) and often times higher end radios. It's now mounted in a 2022 International HX620 triaxle using the factory antenna mounted coax with a 4' or a 2' Firestik II antenna with quick change attachment, since some silo's are lower also in town limbs and other obstacles. Also using an Astatic 636L that I bought at the same time (the original mic sounds tinny!). Replaced the led that backlit the meter a year after purchase when it got peaked and tuned. Highly recommended! ... show more
