Overview
Uniden builds this compact, rugged CB with full channel coverage for work and off road vehicles. It adds RF gain control, a PA/CB switch and one touch emergency channel access to a phase locked loop circuit.
Quick access to the emergency channel and a PA mode make it more useful on job sites and trails than a bare radio. It fits almost any dash. An antenna is required and sold separately.
Who it's for
Truckers, farm crews and off road groups who need fast emergency access will use it daily. Hikers need a handheld instead of a fixed mount unit.
Pros and cons
- One touch emergency channel
- RF gain control
- Compact for most vehicles
- Auto squelch and noise limiter
- Antenna sold separately
Performance notes
Transmit power is capped by law, so real range comes from antenna height, tuning and terrain. RF gain cuts nearby strong signals, and squelch hides static. The PA mode drives an external speaker outside the vehicle.
