Had this item in my 4x4 for a while now and have to say it works really well easy to install and set up can say I'm really very happy with it

I am a driver and had no interest in a cb because I keep mine turned off most of the time in my rig and get tired of hearing the carbage on a cb and the white noise.....but this is so cool I had to reconsider the idea for my personal vehicle. I paired it with a 4ft firestick, have my mount grounded good and got my swr's low and the clarity is better then any cb I've ever owned. I've ran cobra for over 27 years behind the wheel and never have been excited to hear the chatter until installing this one. I have received and transmitted over 10 miles with obstruction and that's good!There's just a one con....1. While scanning all channels the hand held locks out functions such as volume or squelch. You have to stop scanning to adjust anything. Other then that it's great. I plan to install a flush mount usb port that plugs directly to the transceiver and the mic to the flush mount for a remote set up that matches my gmrs radio. Small, compact, great audio and packed with features. Definitely one to consider.

This is an excellent radio. I used it to replace a Cobra 75 that I damaged when removing from my previous car. This radio is half the price. The microphone is much smaller than the Cobra as is the transmitter box. On the road, people comment they can hear me clearly on AM due to it having a condenser microphone. It also has FM which the Cobra does not.Proper installation is essential, or the radio is worthless. The following is a guide to installing this thing in an SUV, which is the hardest type of vehicle to put this kind of radio into properly.THE PROBLEM: Antenna location on an SUV is the biggest problem. You want the metal of the car to act as a ground plane which means it should be below the antenna not along side of it. You want the antenna to be as long as possible, but you also have to put your car in a garage, either at home or places you drive to. That rules out a magnetic mount roof antenna.THE SOLUTION: I'll describe what I did and provide an Amazon parts list via links.CB RADIO: The radio I picked was the Radioddity CS-47 Small CB Radio, AM/FM, 40-Channel, One Hander. It is tiny, not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes. You can hide the radio inside the center console with room to spare, which is also where you plug it in because there is a cigarette lighter jack there. Then, the only thing you see is the microphone itself but you can hide that too.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQJ8Y5B7There is another version with the controls on the box which is cheaper.https://www.amazon.com/Radioddity-CB-27-40-Channel-FM-Emergency/dp/B0B56KST6FANTENNA: The only realistic location for a CB antenna on a Highlander is a fender mount close to the windshield. I used a 2 Foot Firestik II FS Series Tunable Tip CB Antenna. This length is perfect because you can still get the car into a garage and it transmits reasonably well. You can also use an antenna spring (optional).https://www.amazon.com/Firestik-FS-2BK-feet-Tunable-Antenna/dp/B004USX7EE/ref=sr_1_1CABLE: For the cable, you MUST Use the Firestik FireRing CB Coax with Stud. Do not modify this cable in any way. After you bring the cable into the car, do not coil the excess because that would make an inductor out of it. Just shove it under the floor mat in a random arrangement. If you do not do this you will detune the antenna and it will work poorly. Protect the cable with wire loom all the way to the antenna.https://www.amazon.com/FireStick-FIRESTIK-K4-8R9-Antenna-FIRE-Ring/dp/B01D09WIL6/ref=sr_1_1MOUNTING: I used the Firestik SS-174 Hood Channel Mount Tall w/K-4 Stud. This requires some modification. You may need to cut off the short right angle part of the bracket after the slots. Using a vise and hammer, bend and reshape the bracket so that it looks as shown in the pictures below. If you do it right, the bracket will slip through the slot between the hood and the fender and won't even touch the paint.https://www.amazon.com/Firestik-SS-174-Stainless-Steel-Channel/dp/B000X3D7PE/ref=sr_1_1SWR METER: You absolutely positively need to buy this or you are otherwise wasting your time. The antenna must be exactly tuned to match your radio. Otherwise, there are standing waves. This means that the power from the radio gets sent to the antenna and then is reflected back to the radio instead of going out over the air. The antenna is tuned by adjusting a bolt on top of the antenna in very small increments until you get the minimum SWR. Even 1/8 of a turn is significant. The bolt is hidden by a red cap.Tip: The red cap affects the SWR reading by quite a lot. Take it off to adjust the screw, then put it back on before you make each SWR measurement.https://www.amazon.com/Astatic-PDC1-100-Watt-Meter/dp/B004ULN610/ref=sr_1_3INSTALLATION: The pictures show details of the installation. On the passenger side of the car you need to locate some painted steel inside the hood you can attach a mount to.Spend some time hammering the mount to the right shape for your car. You should be able to attach it perfectly so that when the hood closes it doesn't touch the bracket and the bracket doesn't touch the fender..The cable then goes along the top inside of the fender where you can easily bring it out at the door hinge. Route the wire as shown so it goes inside the passenger compartment and then down to the floor underneath the floor mat.Randomly arrange the excess wire under the floor mat but do not coil it. That would make it an inductor and mess up the antenna matching. From there, route the antenna cable underneath the passenger seat. Move the seat all the way forward so you can drill a hole in the side of the center compartment about 5 in above the floor height.Now the antenna connector is inside the compartment. You can mount the radio using some Velcro. Many cars have a cigarette lighter outlet in the center compartment. If so, just plug it in there. Finished! I think the pictures are pretty much self-explanatory.Oh, you'll also need a CB handle. Nobody uses their name. Something like Happy Rabbit or whatever suits you. 10-4.

First thing is that you cannot believe how small this thing is until you actually see it in person. The entire main unit fits in my hand. It has tons of features and believe it or not the speaker that is housed in the hand held control/integrated microphone sounds pretty good. You can move an internal Berg jumper inside the main unit to enable "enhanced" features which is covered in detail all over the internet, power levels included. If you need a CB in a tight space you cannot go wrong with this one. Read the instructions and you will be up and running in a matter of minutes.

I do like this quite a lot.ive never really been into hideaway radios untill recently as there is little space to fit even the smallest of radios like my president bill asc. I've got also an mtek legend IV, which I liked because of the hideaway but dud not enjoy the delay from PTT to transmit.Thus on the other hand beats it. No delay from PTT to transmit. Scrolls through all legal UK bands, am , cept FM and UK FM . Seems ok to the other peeps and audio is surprisingly good through the ickle microphone speaker.You can extend the Mike cord with a std rj45 extension of a metre or so easily.If you after a fit anywhere straight forty CB radio that does all UK bands thus could well be it. It is for me as so far it is the best thought out hideaway cb radio. I can't fault it yet!Shame it's not SSB. If it were that would be heavenly 😀 I'm not gonna take a star off because of that as it is exactly what it says it is. Straight 40 all legal UK bands at a button push.

Am Anfang war ich wirklich erstmal skeptisch, da nicht explizit in der Beschreibung stand, ob es ein Multinorm-EU, oder ein reines 40-Kanal Gerät ist.Es ist Multinorm und Deutschland lässt sich ohne Probleme auf 80FM & 40AM einstellen.Hierzu muss das Gerät „aus“ sein. Man drückt und hält die „A/F“-Taste und Schalter das Gerät ein. Hier dann „de“ wählen und mit erneut langem Druck auf „A/F“ bestätigen.Die Modulation auf FM ist gut. Meine Gegenstelle (ca. 3km Entfernung) verstand mich klar und deutlich. Hierzu habe ich allerdings das MIC-Gain auf höchste Stufe (9) im Menü stellen müssen.Positiv:- wirklich sehr klein und kompakt- gute Modulation- ASQ funktioniert perfekt- gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis- trotz, dass alles in dem kleinem Mike verbaut ist: sehr gute Sprachqualität, Lautsprecher echt gut (war überrascht), Display klar und deutlich- üppige AusstattungNegativ:- Bedienungsanleitung nur auf Englisch und könnte etwas ausführlicher sein, gerade eine Übersicht der vielen Normen (und dessen Abkürzungen im Display) fehlt- Blackbox wird beim Funken ganz schön warm- Spiralkabel könnte etwas „flexibler“ und evtl. länger sein, je nach dem, wo man die Box selbst verbauen möchte. Habe das Mike-Kabel mit einer 3m Cat6a-Netzwerkleitung verlängert und funktioniert perfekt!Ich würde das Gerät uneingeschränkt empfehlen, für diejenigen, welche ein „Blackbox“-Funkgerät haben möchten.

Best buy

First, unlike others who received this item for free, I purchased it which in my opinion limits the bias in reviews.That being said, I was looking for a simple CB radio mostly for my state to state travel when I am stuck in traffic on smaller highways and either do not have cell reception or the maps are useless as they do not have up to date info. I am an amateur operator but don't bring my equipment to be put at risk on travel.I did not want to have a large radio or even deal with mounting the rig if I chose not to. I was surprised to come accross this Radoddity CS-47 CB which appeared to be a good value for $99 and would meet my needs for communication in desolate areas.I bought the unit and upon unpacking, confirmed my amazement for such a small unit but it also had a good build quality as well.I did initial testing at the "base station" and had no issues making a contact many states away which a great sounding radio report was given. The mic is very functional, simple, and most importantly, small but has all the controls. I saw a video on the various settings and such and customized the color display.I ran some tests against my other radios and found that the tonal quality on both transmit and receive was very good. I tried the various DSP modes and set it on "3" which provides a large noise reduction but still allows for a decent sound on receive. I tried the transmit "noise reduction" as well but did not feel like it was too effective however I set it at "2." The controls are layed out well and in one hand I can change volume, channels and even modes if I care to employ FM. I still have yet to find an FM operator to talk with on the CB bands here in the US, but maybe it has more support elsewhere. In testing FM listening with my amateur equipment it sounded great of course. The various roger beeps are great too.I paired this with a Lil Wilson magnetic mount antenna but the range is not far via ground wave (maybe 2-3 miles) so I am upgrading the mobile antenna with something larger.One complaint I have is about no SWR (even a warning) so you have to use a meter to check. The other is no SSB which I knew going in to this. I think that this rig is fine for the most part with AM/FM but it would be nice to see another model with SSB. There are other rigs like Anytone that offer SSB and more but those are much more than $99, however Radioddity should have an SSB offering to compeat in the next segment up as this is a nice quality radio and a great value for AM CB communication when traveling like I do.
