Radioddity CS-47 Mini CB Radio, AM/FM, 40-Channel, One Hander Microhone Built-in Speaker Noise Reduction, Large 7-Color Backlit LCD Display, VOX, RF Gain Long-Range for Offroad, Trucker, Backcountry

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.

Ich war ja skeptisch mit dem abgesetzten Mikrofon. Aber der Lautsprecher da drin ist wirklich toll. Super Sprachqualität. Ansonsten hat das Gerät alle Funktionen eines modernen CB Gerätes.Das einzige Problem: Es funkt niemand. Also wirklich niemand. Schade.Aber da kann die Funke nix für, deshalb 5 Sterne.

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.
