That roadking radio I've heard a lot of bad reviews on that radio the displays go out on them so when those displays go out then the radio is junk 73s

This RoadKing CB radio looks just like a Uniden Bearcat 980 SSB. Looks like they have taken the looks. Thanks for the video TBYBC!!!

Was that power output a function of the db gain from the handheld or is the handheld running through an amplifier? Still new to GMRS but learning.

I have a couple of UV5Rs and 2 AR-5RMs (upgraded UV5Rs) that have larger keypads, color screens, 10W tx like the AR-152 and are also completely unlocked. So why am I looking at the AR-152? The reason is I LOVE the screen. These new color screens suck IMO because it is extremely hard to read the red colored text it displays in menu mode outdoors in sunlight, even when shaded by hand. Also the color screen uses so much battery that it has to shut off after a few seconds. The LCD screens on this radio and the UV5Rs are many times sharper and higher contrast and never shut off, so if there is ambient light you can always look at the screen and see what is going on. And it has a slightly larger battery 🤣. I do wish they had gone a step farther and made it at least water resistant. The design does not take well to carrying in pouches because it has to be removed to access the keyboard and display. This is what is holding me back.

Have you had any problems with the screen going out ?

I believe your condenser water lines are backwards.

What if holding it and turning it on makes your hands itch? Seriously

If you want to use cb for grid situations, get a radio with SSB and VFO.

Mine did not come with the pot holder piece. How do I get one?

Just got mine today for $46 & I LOVE IT !... It has the same suggested Power Rating as my Baofeng AR-5RM but this AR-152 operates so much better ! RX is so clear & I am picking up much more (with Abbree Tactical Antenna) than the 5RM,... Big Battery bla bla bla but the screen is excellent, the large keys with more space is awesome, Speaker is crystal clear,... This Radio is WAY BETTER than I ever expected :)

CB is anything BUT dead, surprisingly its more popular than you would expect in 2024. Go backwoods, off-road or turned on in the Spring and early Fall on channels above 30 especially in SSB and it'll surprise you how busy the service still is.

CB is dead except for two kinds of people. One is truck drivers. Most of them still use AM CB, and if you are on the highway, there is a lot to listen to, and many of them will talk to you as long as you aren't acting like a fool. They have no time for that BS. The other is DX enthusiasts, who mostly operate from home, on SSB, and have large base station antennas. Both are usually using a lot more than the legal 4 watts. I have a 60 watt Radioddity QT60 in my car, with a Wilson 1000 mag mount antenna on the trunk lid, and a converted 100 watt HF amateur rig at home. And no, I am not causing any interference. My radios are clean, and I only use as much power as necessary for reliable communications. I don't use roger beeps, echos, or any kind of sound effects. My cell phone is an old school flip phone, and is JUST A PHONE. No internet, No apps, No touchscreen, it has physical buttons. I DO NOT use it while driving. A mobile antenna needs a ground plane. I used to have one mounted to an old washing machine in the back yard. SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) which is a measurement of reflected RF, was around 1.1 You can get fiberglass no ground antennas, which have 2 equal length wires inside, forming a dipole, which balances the antenna without a ground plane. You will always hear something on channel 6. But you won't likely be able to communicate with anybody there. They are all using several thousand watts.

Does this Geiger counter have the traditional alarm? or just the beeping alarm?

Why load above burn chamber. All your doing is making outside of stove dirty. I have all three stoves and only use shorter sticks.

Great as a make shift analog scanner for, fire, police (if still analog ) EMS, weather, FRS, GMRS,MURS, etc. Yes I know, do not transmit on it but it’s definitely worth $60 to listen to some interesting things

I have this exact model. What if there is a nuclear explosion far away, will I be able to check radioactivity just by sticking this device out of the window? 😅

the only people I here in my area are about 10 guys on channel 20 where they hang out. and sometimes Spanish speaking people on channel 9. I live 4 miles from the interstate and here no one on channel 19. even though I believe in CB and been in it off and on since 1967 i will always own one.

Smash power supply

Local cb is dead skip on the other hand is screaming with little or no static UK comes across regularly

Use to use??

I have bought two and I'm honestly thinking about buying two more.... I love them. I use them to stay in touch with members of my hunting group......

A small pile of fat lighter shavings is what I use , I have this kit & 1 or 2 strikes is all it takes to get a fire going .

What do you do when the sun is blocked out?

i bought 950 model, thank you for a review

Conditions come and go the same way since I've been on cb 1977. Cb will never be dead. Never. Unless you know how it operates every year and has worked the same way for years you can't say cb is dead. Watkins Glen NY waving 🤘 #12...

Not trying to sound weird but I am 75% sure I know where you are cause I heard it also a year ago on a uv5r on the same frequency on a little bit further like 6miles past that area

Be sure to wait for the fuel to be directly below the secondary combustion top holes, or the stove won't burn properly, causing more smoke, and soot. Hand sanitizer, and liquid fuel will help start the burn.

If you want a safe and easy to obtain radiation source (mostly beta, but with a tiny amount of gamma) for testing then I would recommend getting some No-Salt salt substitute from your local grocery store and putting some of it in a plastic ziplock bag.

All of them.

While your HT is multi band, the amplifier is not. The link you have is for a UHF version and should only be used in those frequencies.

Any p3/p100 filter will work for CS/CN/CR and DM tear gas (DM adamsite appears as a canary yellow smoke), and pepper spray. Tear gas is a fine particulate smoke that's created when the solid agent is burned. It can be dissolved in methylene chloride and sprayed so there's some debate on if a particle filter would still work but tear gas is usually dispersed via smoke grenades.

Awesome! Do you have a step by step?

Thanks for making this video it was actually very helpful

Link to where you got it?

This is the SHTF zombie apocalypse type radio, last resort, civilization has fallen. YOU WILL NEED A LICENS TO OPERATE IT. Don't want to get in any trouble... All joking aside, love the setup.

Just for reference, 144.200 is the Single Side Band calling frequency for 2m. The FM Calling Frequency is 146.52mhz.Unless your radio and amp can work both SSB/USB and FM, than you may want to update to the FM calling frequency.

I have 4 BTech GMRS radios

Great review. Thank you for taking the time to do a in depth review. Exactly what i was looking for.

CB & gmrs

Can't think of anything else to do? Everyone of rhese is the same on TH-cam. Thinking is too hard

I hope

Thanks for the video, but CB Radio won't be dead as long as I am on it- LOL. I hit the like and am following. UDX-21 South Carolina. Old Radio Night.

Haven’t used a cab since the 80s. When did 19 become the emergency channel. It was the main channel for everyone backthen

I'm running a similar setup, and from experience....mint will absolutely go bananas in a setup like this! Good luck

The upper right on - is President George II?

I wish the 880 and 980 uni rigs had blacked out versions, the chrome is nice but annoying with fake hex bolt heads like ricey rims. Time to get out the plasti-dip...😕

I won't communicate, I will take a break. 😂

CB is the same where I live. No local activity. Only skip that can't hear you. I can pick up skip on my President Randy walkie talkie with a rubber duck antenna. Everything else is dead

I bought one of these about a year ago and couldnt make heads or tails out of programming it, I ended up selling it for $20 at the pawn shop. I was so disappointed .

Yes I've got it all from 2 meters to 80 meters and all in-between! Police scanners and one radio I don't care to list! Also have a ship to shore radio!
