Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Every driver personalizes their own with external speakers and upgraded mic's. The mic is better than what i am used to on a cb. I just wish remote mike had squelch control on it.

Powering a k40 mobile antenna. Many eyes make for a safer trip. This thing even picks up the weather bands so much better than my cobra.

Cons

Display is too dim and disappears when looked at from the slightest angle. When turned on at night it looks great but then fades out again. No lcd makes radio useless.

Checked another radio on coax and swr meter is below 1. Hardware is locked tight and can not be expanded for extra channels. Only thing that works is the weather radio feature.

It seems the transmit amplifier is burnt out. Noise filtering is hit and miss on each unit.

It's like they took a list of everything a cber would want and handed it to engineers who know nothing about cbs. No luck yet with contacting uniden about the so called 1 year warranty.
