Our verdict

A compact, no frills full channel mobile CB with noise limiting and an external speaker jack. You still need to buy and fit an antenna before it works.

Overview

Mounting this compact CB under a dash or in a truck cab gives full access to the authorized AM channels. Uniden fits it with a superheterodyne circuit with phase locked loop control, plus an S/RF meter and noise limiter.

A small body with full channel coverage fits tight cabs and work vehicles where space is short. The noise limiter and squelch help cut engine hum. It is a bare bones set with no weather channels, and the antenna is extra.

Who it's for

Commercial drivers, farm vehicles and off road groups who just need reliable channel access will be well served. Anyone expecting a ready to talk kit should budget for an antenna and cable.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact for tight dashboards
  • Noise limiter and squelch
  • S/RF meter and LED indicators
  • External speaker jack
Cons
  • Antenna sold separately
  • No weather channels listed
  • No RF gain control listed

Performance notes

Range depends far more on the antenna and its tuning than on the radio, so a well matched antenna matters most. The noise limiter cuts ignition noise, and squelch hides static below a set level. Audio output drives an external speaker in loud cabs.
