It functions just as well as a mobile rig and with the K30 my SWR is less than 1.5 to 1. My land is hilly and forested but I can talk to the house from over a mile with no problem.I also bought a K30 whip antenna for the car and with a coax adapter use the portable on the road also. I bought this portable CB to carry when I'm working alone on my land and in case of an emergency. With the stock rubber ducky antenna it communicates with a base station in my house loud and clear.
If you're looking for a hand held CB radio, look no further. Compact, good quality, great price, good reception and volume. I've owned a few of these over the years. This one is a very good one.
This thing was not the answer. I used to drive a semi. It gets horrible reception and when I tried to get a "radio check" nobody would ever answer me back. You have to turn the radio down to hear anything. Now I have a local job and drive a different truck every day. I missed the CB.
Taxi drivers and truckers could pick up my signal as far as 4 miles away. Much better than FRS radios that I have already used. A signal meter could be a good improvement. This is a very good CB handheld. Long range even in a dense urban environment (at 4 watt power TX).
I love it.Larry - Mars, PA I use this radio every day in construction.
