  • Looks good, works good
5 Year Update! - So you're looking for a long term use update, I got it for you. Radio has worked this entire time, the stock microphone cord finally dry rotted (baking in sun no doubt), so I got an Astatic 636l which I am told sounds absolutely amazing compared to the stocker. What has broke: The only thing that has "broke" and I say that loosely is at the channel side of the lcd screen I can definitely tell that it's faded out on the last few mm (yes millimeters) very little but I can definitely tell it has faded out. Other than that, the radio seems to work now just like it did all those years ago when it was new. I would most likely buy one of these again unless something that looks cooler comes along and works OK. I would advise buying a new mic though if you care about that at all, otherwise the stock mic is still fine. This is the end of the 5 year update, original update is below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first CB radio so take my comments with a bit of inexperience. The knobs feel sturdy, the buttons feel sturdy, The good: Looks Sturdy Changes color Comes with mount bracket, and mic holder Cons/other The SWR meter that is built in, I don't know how close to being right it is... when I first tested without trimming the antenna it was high, over two on some channels. I pulled it out around 1/4 inch, and now its basically perfect 1:1 on every channel, with a very small variation sometimes like 1.1. I needed a radio that looked modern and would assist me in interstate travels, this has already proven itself. UPDATE: 10 months of use I have been using the BC daily for the last 10 months, first with a little wilson antenna which did a nice job, but I moved up to a Wilson 1000 which does a better job. The radio still works great, everything still works and I have not had an issue with it, no do I have any complaints (this is a big deal). I did send my Bearcat in to be "peaked and tuned" and is now swinging 30 watts on the bird meter with a 6 watt dead key. It has continued to work fantastic with daily use and has not failed me. I wish I could nit pick and find something that annoys me in daily use but I can't think of any. Unimportant cons LCD viewing angle is not friendly if mounted on the side of the center console.... but again there is little to no reason to ever look at it, you can see it fine at night also. The beep when you turn the knob, again this only happens if you turn a knob or hit a button (the volume knob and squelch DO NOT beep). I rarely change channels, and the only time I hear the beep is if I change from day to night. It's really not annoying. Random pros The mic sounds good for stock, have had no complaints. ... show more

  • PA Speaker Issues
So, far, so good. It installs the same as any other CB radio I've installed. Here are a couple of nuances: SWR meter. I like the included SWR meter. However, it was not nearly as convenient as those with a hard switch. The reason is that one button sequentially toggles between RF/CAL/SWR. When tuning your antenna, you need CAL and SWR. It's an iterative process that requires switching between Channel 1 and Channel 40. Each time you go to a new channel, you calibrate and then measure SWR. But, instead of being able to go back and forth between Cal and SWR, you have to also cycle through RF each time. 33% more button pushes. I think I went between channels 10 times at least. So, I pushed that button 30 times instead of 20 times. Also it increases the liklihood that you're in the wrong mode when depressing the PTT button. Irritating. PA setting. I asked a question above about whether the radio would "remember" the mode it was in. That is, if you were in PA mode and turned the radio off, would it come back up in PA mode. The question was answered, "Yes." This isn't correct. The radio always powers on in RF/TX mode. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't let you answer your own questions, so this incorrect information will stand. Initially, I bought this primarily for the PA setting. I wasn't even going to install an antenna. However, if you operate a CB radio without an antenna (or a badly tuned antenna), you can damage the radio. Because the radio doesn't hold the PA mode setting, I risk accidentally transmitting in CB mode and, thus, risk damaging the radio. So, I installed an antenna to prevent this. Too bad. PA speaker becomes and external CB speaker. The radio has two 3.5 mm jack ports. One is for a PA speaker. One is for an external CB speaker. Presumably, the PA jack would only transmit what was said into the mic out through the PA speaker. Presumably, the external speaker would transmit received signals to the radio out through to the external speaker. In practice, the CB will also transmit received signals out to the PA speaker. Yes, I have it attached to the correct port. So, if you want to use the PA speaker, make sure the radio is tuned to a channel with no traffic. Otherwise, when you're done talking and release the PTT button, the PA speaker will begin transmitting whatever radio traffic coming through on the CB channel. I find this very annoying. I don't know if this is how all CB radios work. I'm taking a star off for this. I have mine mounted to the top of my dash in the tray table. So, it gets maximum sunlight in the day. It gets pretty washed out. I have to go to the white setting to get any resolution. But, it is what it is. I'm not faulting the radio for this. Built-in speaker is loud and clear. However, I the talkback feature is pretty quiet. I have it turned up all the way and the talkback report is still very quiet. No big deal. Microphone is nice. Looks good, works good. Also, I have to echo the fault of not putting beep settings in the menu. Not sure why the designers hard-wired the beep. Why not allow the customer a few choices on the beep? ... show more
