The Good
This is a great CB for a FJ. The big difference that
separates this CB from the rest is that almost
everything is integrated into the handset, channel
controls, volume, squelch, and other goodies. There is
a small part that mounts in an inconspicuous location
that the handset, antenna, and power supply attach to.
There is provision to attach an external speaker to help
increase the sound clarity in a noisy vehicle.

The Bad
With everything integrated into the handset it's
easy to accidentally change channels, change volume, or
bump other controls. The little speaker in the handset
is sometimes hard to hear from in a noisy situation,
this is easily remedied with an external speaker. One
more thing, the handset can get pretty beat from being
dropped and bouncing around the FJ's floor on the
trail. A broken handset with this CB means a new CB is
needed.
Performance
It is convenient having the controls in the palm of
your hand. It saves from reaching for the volume or
squelch. The CB's Soundtracker feature is nice, it
picks up and enhances transmissions and reduces
background noise. The CB's reception and transmission
quality is excellent. A usual overlooked element in CB
performance is a quality antenna. Using a quality
antenna tuned appropriately will enable a CB to function
to it's best. For questions on CB antennas see
FireStik's online
antenna library. |
