A lot of radio and features for the money.
The radio is a very nice style and display. I had 18' of new coax and a new quality 4' antenna for the installation. The reception was terrible, and the wx channels were cutting out? I thought it was a poor quality radio. Before attempting a return, I raised the antenna another 2'. All issues solved, works perfect right out of the box.Yes, I recommend this radio.

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:LooksSturdyChanges colorComes with mount bracket, and mic holderCons/otherThe 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 useI 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 consLCD 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 prosThe mic sounds good for stock, have had no complaints.

Affordable and good quality CB radio!
I bought the CB radio from Amazon almost a month ago. I like all the features including the multicoloured display and the sound quality. It’s easy to install and use, and the manual was really helpful with installation and programming the radio. The price was also better than at truck stops. I love this CB radio and recommend it to anyone looking to buy one.
