President Electronics BILL CB Radio, 40 Channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/Down Channel Selector, Volume Adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual Squelch and ASC, Multi-functions LCD Display, S-meter

I have been using this radio for 5 years & it has worked flawlessly. It fits in my jeep perfectly.Dependent upon the particular antenna to which it has been connected at that moment, I have made contacts up to 20 miles away.A little hint: go online and research how to access the "service menu", and adjust the transmitter power to the full 4 watts. Out of the box, the unit runs at about 3.5 watts.Update: 2 days after I submitted the 1st review, the ASC (auto squelch control) stopped working. I still give this unit 5 stars. It has worked, and continues to work, at levels exceeding expectations. It has been in constant use for 5 years, and I would recommend the President Bill (& the Bill 2) to anyone seeking a solid performer in a cb radio. Without hesitation.

Spent about a month reviewing various CB radios before deciding on this one. The space in my vehicle was/is very limited, so I knew I wanted something small, but it had to have certain features. I'll go over them below one at a time.The thing is only about the size of a pack of smokes or small block of cheese, it is TINY. You can mount this just about anywhere, for which a mounting bracket is included.The speaker on it is very loud. You'd think that because it's so small that the speaker might lack punch, but that's not the case. I've used this thing driving on the highway at speed during a super heavy thunderstorm, and I could crank it loud enough to be heard over that.This thing has two features that I think every CB should have (though some don't): a scan function, and weather radio. Scan is absolutely necessary given that CB isn't super popular anymore, so you pretty much need it to find transmissions. Weather radio is useful for obvious reasons while you're traveling. It even has weather alerts, although they don't seem to work correctly. If I turn them on, it randomly changes me to the weather channel, even if there's no talk of severe stuff.The build quality is great. This thing feels like a brick in your hand. Is made mostly of metal, and you'd have to be extremely careless to break it.The automatic squelch control mostly works, though oftentimes it allows incredibly weak transmissions through that are nothing but static.Overall, I'm very happy with this, and wholeheartedly recommend this thing if you don't want your CB to take up a lot of real estate, but want almost every feature you could ever need. There's tons I didn't touch on here for the sake of brevity.

I will be the first to admit I have always been a Cobra CB owner, I was looking for something very small and decided to try this President Bill out. Any way here it goes - 1. Size is crazy, it is so small. It fits about anywhere. I have this in my LJ and I can put it anywhere. 2 Clarity crystal clear (for a CB) both TX and RX good. 3 features, I keep finding more, I guess I should have read the manual but it is pretty feature rich. Change color of display set different Em channels I rarely use 19 0r 9 for that matter so its a cool feature. 4. Internal Speaker, I rarely have a Top on my Jeep so the internal speaker is not quite enough. I use an amplified external speaker and it fixes the issue however when I am engine off and not moving the internal speaker is plenty loud.Overall Impression - I have had it for close to a year now and I highly recommend it, The size is AWESOME and it just works great. Remember with any CB the radio will only work as well as the Antenna. I do have a good quality Antenna and it is tuned to the radio.

This is an excellent radio packed with essential features with great clarity of reception and transmit right out of the box when paired with a good and well placed antenna. The Auto Squelch (ASC) mode is exceptional.Although its great out of the box- to get the full capability of this radio you need to adjust the power level to the max. (Please see below)---This is a 5 watt radio per FCC rules and regulations. To ensure compliance, this radio comes off the assembly line actually tuned to 2.75 to 3 watts. If you want to give it full power to transmit- 4.5 to 5 watts--here's how:1. Ensure the radio is off.2. Press the "CB/WX/Alert" , "EMG" button and press the "PTT" (push to talk on the mic) at the same time.3. With those 3 pressed at once--Turn the radio on(You'll see kind of an ADMIN display on the radio screen--with "PL 127" or something....(This is POWER LEVEL).4. Now--Push on the screen (on the top edge) as would to change channels or scan and you'll see this number increase or decrease depending if you push the top or bottom edge of the screen.Keep pushing until it reaches "PL 145"- this is the maximum Power Level--- "PL 145"Now you're transmitting at 4.5 to 5 watts!Well done President Radio ! 5 stars no question!
