Cb radio communication. CB radio stations. Which car radio to buy

Constantly encountering questions on specialized forums:

— What radio station do you recommend?
— Which radio should I choose?
— Why is one radio better than another?
— Can you recommend a good walkie-talkie?
- Recommend such a walkie-talkie so that I can install it and remember you with a kind word!

Similar questions constantly pour out of a cornucopia, and I decided to compile a list of the most popular CB stations that can be purchased in our markets and stores, accompanied by a brief description. You can also review and vote!

The choice is not easy. There are quite a few walkie-talkies, they are all essentially similar, but have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. First of all, if you are going to buy yourself a radio station, puzzle yourself with the question: “What will I use it for?” Having written down the range of needs on a piece of paper, you can consciously make a choice from the entire variety of radio stations on the market. Next there will be a list of micro-reviews, worthy and not so worthy, in my opinion, of radio stations with which I somehow had to work, or collect information on their characteristics, operation, and reliability.

There is one more point I would like to mention. Market sellers themselves don’t know what they are selling! Consulting with them is useless and even harmful! They are cunning people, seeing who is in front of them, what questions they are asking, they draw the appropriate conclusions. Their task is to sell stale goods that most likely will not suit you. Then, after installation and start of operation, there comes disappointment from the connection and a complete abandonment of it. Of course, not all sellers are like this, but most are, and that’s sad.

The data is current as of the beginning of 2017! Last update 02/26/17!

If errors, inaccuracies and blunders are discovered, the information will be corrected and supplemented. If you find something similar, please comment at the end of the article.

AnyTone AT-310M

Clones: Albrecht AE-6310, Allamat 409, Megawat PRO-1000, Overmax Delta, Team TS-9M Multi, Optim Pilgrim, Supra VRS-300

Quite a popular model on the market. The Albrecht AE6310 clone, which can also be bought on the country's markets, differs from the Albrecht only in the absence of inscriptions on the face. The device is good in terms of characteristics, but strangely designed in terms of controls. The design is primitive, but quite convenient. Questions remain only about the display, on which it is impossible to understand in which grid the device operates. For those who constantly sit in the same grid and channel, this does not matter much.

Advantages:

nice sound at reception
normal modulation out of the box (can be further improved with modifications)
the presence of 2 adequate noise suppressors (requires modification and adjustment)
presence of 0/5 (via processor reboot)

Flaws:

ergonomics of station control (it is not clear in which grid the station is located, switching is confusing)
- lack of S-meter

Suitable for an undemanding user, it will work well both in a taxi and in a truck driver’s cab. Not recommended for advanced users.

Clones: Stabo XM4006, Avanti Primo, CRUISE 608M.

The station has been on the market for several years. During this entire period, only about 500 pieces were brought into the country (as of 2013). The first batch with serial numbers 0670A111200(xxx). Despite all this, at the moment this is the most advanced, of all the variety, CB transceiver (without SSB) for a car and even a base. The station has a bunch of settings typical for higher-class devices (NB/ANL, ATT, RB, VFO). Individual settings are saved for each channel, including modulation. There is a VFO mode. Compressor and expander. Headset with DTMF keyboard for direct frequency input and work with DTMF codes. However, as practice has shown, cases of marriage are frequent.

Advantages:

convenient control
very good receiver sensitivity - presence of an attenuator
nice sound at reception
good modulation out of the box (can be further improved with modifications by increasing the volume)
the presence of 3 adequate noise suppressors (requires modification and adjustment)
presence of 0/5 (via rebooting the processor, or the DW button on KRUIZ-608M)
presence of VFO mode - 8 display backlight options - full set of CTCSS codes - comfortable headset

Flaws:

a large number of defects. You have to choose from a bunch of good stations by testing before purchasing.

See disadvantages. The overall impressions of the station are good. Suitable for organizing a closed network with tone noise reduction to protect against long-distance transmissions. Recommended for users familiar with soldering irons, oscilloscopes and standard signal generators, as sooner or later you will have to repair it.

AnyTone AT-5555

Clones: Alpha 10 Max AM-1000, Aquario RP-80, Avanti Grande, Comtex CT-1000DX, Hannover BR-9000, Intek HR-5500, K-po DX-5000, Maas DX-5000, Superstar SS6900 Closest relatives: , CRE 8900 , Kenwood TH-9000

BASIC transceiver for bands 12-11-10 meters. It has all the necessary functionality for short- and long-distance communications. It has already gone through 4 revisions, the latest is v6. Full set of modulations (AM, FM, LSB, USB, CW), all except digital modes. There is an attenuator, adjustment of receiver sensitivity, adjustment of output power (in the latest versions the power has been increased to 40W). In general, everything is almost the same as in adult HF technology, with the exception that the receiver circuitry was inherited from CB equipment with a low dynamic range. In other words, we have a very sophisticated CB base station in front of us. You can operate it straight out of the box, but with caution, since there are issues that can and should be eliminated before operation, such as replacing thermal paste on transistors and adjusting the receive and transmit frequencies.

Advantages:

wide reception and transmission range
high power (adjustable from 2 to 40 watts)
pleasant reception sound - very good receiver sensitivity (adjustable)
the presence of an attenuator, impulse noise suppressor
decent modulation out of the box (can be improved further by replacing the microphone with an electret one, adding a board for phantom power)
presence of 2 noise suppressors (require adjustment)
presence 0/5 (adjustment with clarifier handle)
easy to read display
built-in SWR and voltmeters
protection against exceeding SWR - protection against increased (low) supply voltage

Flaws:

size
internal adjustment of reception and transmission frequencies from the factory, raises questions (needs to be further adjusted)
not enough thermal paste on the output stage transistors and stabilizers
microphone jack on the side

Clones: Anytone AT-5288, CRT Mini, MAXLOG ML-100 Plus, Samlex 1000, Soontone ST-5288, Storm CB100 Plus.

Closest relatives: MegaJet 2701 (technically).

The youngest and simplest model among Alan-Midland. It features rather primitive circuitry and mediocre parameters. Works only in 1 grid, 40 channels. It should be said that at the moment, a lot of things are sold under the Alan 100+ brand, and they have nothing to do with Midland-Alan. Since the model at one time gained popularity for its simplicity and price, everyone rushed to clone it, continuing to simplify the already primitive scheme and reduce the cost of what Midland had already managed to make cheaper. I don’t even want to talk about the consequences of such simplifications.

Advantages:

easy to read LED display
comfortable headset
nice sound at reception

Flaws:

low receiver sensitivity
no switching 0/5
no S-meter

The station is suitable for creating a “Bum Kit” in order to give it to someone in a convoy to provide communications of the “so-so” class. Otherwise, it’s better not to get involved.

Closest relatives: Midland 278

In the past, practically a people's station. Not poorly conceived and quite reliable, it enjoyed deserved popularity among truckers, taxi drivers and just amateurs. At the moment, technological progress and the thirst for profit among manufacturers who want to make things cheaper and sell them more expensive have led to the fact that the reliability of the stations they produce has dropped significantly. In the latest releases, those that are multi-standard and on SMD components, the manufacturer used a field-effect transistor in the output stage, powered with disturbances in the circuit. And since there is no protection there, if you suddenly forget to connect the antenna and accidentally press transmit, the output stage will quickly go to the next world, and it costs quite a lot of money. There is also the problem of a strong dimming of the display backlight during transmission (the station is powered through very thin traces on the board). We often come across bad microphones in headsets. A VCO filled with paraffin, during long-term operation and temperature changes, is capable of self-destructing the contact at the soldering points of its parts, which may periodically cause reception and transmission to disappear. I do not recommend contacting these stations.

Advantages:

nice sound at reception
convenient control
wide reception and transmission range
multistandard in latest versions -
comfortable headset

Flaws:

size
low reliability of the output stage in the latest batches
The headset cord gets stiff in the cold

If you happen to purchase a new version of Alan 78+, you can try to make something similar to a normal station out of it, provided that you need this particular station, otherwise, it’s better to get rid of it by giving it as a gift or selling it to an enemy.

Midland 278

Clones: no

Closest relatives: Alan 78+

The next generation of stations after Alan 78+. Essentially, an attempt to regain the position of the old Alan 78+. The display backlight is blue. The design of the front panel has been changed. The output stage does not crash immediately. Otherwise, we read above about the advantages and disadvantages of Alan 78+. Not recommended for purchase.

Advantages:

convenient control
nice sound at reception
comfortable headset
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage - switching 0/5 (via rebooting the processor)
multistandard

Flaws:

size
presence of one threshold noise suppressor
The headset cord gets stiff in the cold

Clones: no

Closest relatives: Midland 278

Breakthrough among the midlands. Stations finally have an adequately functioning automatic noise suppressor. Yes, yes, in this midland it exists and works. The display backlight was changed to white-lunar. The output stage, although made on a field device, should not burn out so easily if the PTT switch is pressed unsuccessfully. The reception sound is quite pleasant. The modulation out of the box is horribly droning. The list of procedures for finalizing the modulation is impressive, however, it allows you to completely change the sound of the transmission. The problems with VCOs inherent in all Midlands are also present here, however, if you like Midland, this is the best option from the entire range of CTE products at the moment .

Advantages:

convenient control
nice sound at reception
comfortable headset
easy to read display
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
multistandard
switching 0/5 (via processor reboot)
the presence of 2 adequate noise suppressors (require adjustment and improvement)
modulation becomes an advantage only after major improvements

Flaws:

size
The headset cord gets stiff in the cold

Refinement is quite labor-intensive. After modification it can be recommended for a wide range of tasks.

Alan 48 Plus

Clones: No

Closest Relatives: Alan 248 Plus

The station has been on the market for quite a long time. Old copies assembled on conventional output components (not SMD) were quite reliable and unpretentious in operation. With the transition to SMD, the introduction of a multi-standard, and the absence of any upgrades according to the general scheme, they lost their position in the market. Despite the transition to SMD, problems with the VCO are also present here, although they are much less common. Compared to other stations, with the exception of AT-5555, it has impressive dimensions and will not fit into any interior. The blue backlighting of the buttons and display on the Alan 248 Plus causes nothing but disgust.

Advantages:

convenient control
nice sound at reception
good receiver sensitivity
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
multistandard

Flaws:

size
The headset cord gets stiff in the cold

After modifications it can be used on the base, however, it is better to look for another option.

Clones: no Immediate family: Alan 248 Excel

Everything said for Alan 48 Plus is also true for Alan 48 Excel. The station differs from Alan 48 Plus, in fact, only in the presence of a dial S-meter, a different button arrangement and an ESP2 noise reduction system which, in fact, almost does not work. The station, in general, is not bad, but it is already outdated, and modern modifications are not competitive.

Advantages:

convenient control
nice sound at reception
good receiver sensitivity
wide reception and transmission range
the presence of adjustable receiver sensitivity after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
multistandard
switching 0/5 (via processor reboot, in new models)

Flaws:

size
the presence of one threshold noise suppressor (with the introduction of hysteresis, using such a station becomes much more convenient)
The headset cord becomes stiff in the cold, the display is clearly visible only from the front and above

Just like Alan 48 Plus, it is capable of functioning on the base, but it is better not to get involved.

Midland 77/120

Clones: No

Quite an interesting model for installation in 1DIN, for example, under or instead of a radio. Has a speaker on the face. The backlight is green. After modification, the modulation becomes clear and beautiful. The noise suppressor is threshold only. It is being improved and after modification it works more correctly.

Advantages:

size 1 DIN
convenient control
good receiver sensitivity
multistandard
switching 0/5 (via processor reboot)
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage

Flaws:

the presence of one threshold noise suppressor (with the introduction of hysteresis, using such a station becomes much more convenient)
The headset cord gets stiff in the cold
The display is clearly visible only from the front and top

If you desperately need to install a station in a 1DIN connector, then I recommend looking towards Yosan Excaluibur (Turbo).

Midland 203 See Alan 100 Plus

MegaJet MJ-3031M (Turbo)

Clones: Alpha 10 Mini AM-500, Procom PRO-3031MT, Yosan JC-3031M

The first CB radio model on the market with automatic squelch. It has been around for quite a long time and is still in production. Due to its popularity, it is actively counterfeited by the Chinese. You can distinguish a fake from the original only by opening the case. In terms of behavior in the store, the stations are the same. After installation in the car, the fake simply does not work as it should, has a dull receiver, terrible modulation and non-functioning noise suppressors. Check when purchasing by unscrewing the case. For fakes, the circuit board faces are on the cables, not on the connectors. The original station is distinguished by a correctly functioning automatic noise suppressor and good ergonomics. After improving the modulation and threshold noise suppressor, the quality of communication increases by an order of magnitude. There is a version with a power of 15 watts, but without a threshold noise suppressor, which is suitable for use in taxis, but not in channel 15. As for the MJ-3031M, in general, it is a good station, but it is already obsolete.

Advantages:

convenient control
nice sound at reception
good receiver sensitivity
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
reliability in operation

Flaws:

size
no switching 0/5
The display is only readable from the front and top
outdated

The station is one of the favorites of truck drivers, and that says something.

Clones: no

One of the new products on the radio station market. Currently the smallest CB radio on the market. The case size is no larger than the Belomor-Kanal pack. Easily fits in your pocket. Has 7 display backlight colors. This is where the pros end and the cons begin. Due to its size, the dissipated power is generated by heat on the small radiator and the station heats up to 50 degrees Celsius. Out of the box, the automatic noise reduction is very tight, and the threshold “floats” depending on the ambient temperature and the case. The ULF of some stations are capable of self-generation at high volumes, manifesting themselves as a kind of roar at volume levels of 28 and higher. At the moment the product is very raw. UPDATE: at the moment, all problems with “fornication” and overheating of the case have been successfully overcome and the station has become much more stable.

Advantages:

size
nice sound at reception
good receiver sensitivity
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors

Flaws:

inconvenient switching between 0/5 and attenuator
not convenient controls
long delay when switching to transmit mode

Clones: Procom PRO-100, Yosan JC-100

The junior model in the megajet family, however, is not functionally similar to the Alan 100 Plus. The MJ-100 has 3 working grids (B, C, D), 0/5 switching, a good receiver and even an attenuator. Otherwise, a simple, good-quality station that can be recommended for use in the truckers channel or for creating a homeless kit.

Advantages:

sensitive receiver
3 working grids
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 (processor reboot), operational reliability

Flaws:

The display is clearly visible only from the front and top
no S-meter

Clones: Lafayette Apollo Pro, Yosan Commander, Yosan CB-50

Direct competitor to TTI TCB-551. Everything is simple and concise. It has the same functions, a nice design and a good display that is readable from all angles. 0/5 with one button. Modulation, a sore point of all megajets, can be fixed quite simply. Otherwise, everything is at the level of competitors and brothers in the line. Decent device. In recent releases, there has been a decline in reliability due to the use of a cheap component base. As a result, you never know what this station will fail at the next moment.

Advantages:

size
convenient control
sensitive receiver
nice sound at reception
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
display that is easy to read from any angle
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors

Flaws:

no S-meter
low reliability

The reliability of the station is not high. But if you close your eyes to this, it will be suitable for taxi drivers, truckers and those who simply need a good connection in the car.

Clones: Lafayette Atena, Procom PRO-110, Yosan JC-200

The station has been on sale for quite some time, but has not gained much popularity. Essentially the same as the MJ-100 just in a different design. The Plus version adds receiver sensitivity (gain) adjustment. The design of the front panel has been slightly changed, and the buttons are backlit and more conveniently located.

Advantages:

size
3 working grids
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
reliability in operation
availability of receiver sensitivity adjustment (in the Plus version)
switching 0/5 (via processor reboot)

Flaws:

The display is clearly visible only from the front and top
the presence of only a threshold noise suppressor
no S-meter

Clones: Allamat 408, Albrecht AE6190HD, Hannover BR-32, Lafayette Ares, Procom PRO-300

The closest relative of the MJ-100. The differences are that the threshold noise suppressor was replaced by an automatic one with threshold adjustment. Automatic squelch works better in FM modulation and hence these stations will be a better choice for taxi drivers. Years of use by taxi companies have confirmed the exceptional reliability and unpretentiousness of the station. They are poorly suited for the truckers channel due to the way the automatic noise suppressor works in AM.

Advantages:

size
convenient control
3 working grids
switching 0/5 (via processor reboot)
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
reliability in operation

Flaws:

The display is clearly visible only from the front and top
no S-meter

Clones: no

The radio continues the tradition of reliability of the MJ-300, but unlike its older brother it has a huge advantage. The display is backlit by LEDs rather than light bulbs. The station has two full-fledged noise suppressors, and 0 and 5 are switched with one button. Having inherited from its ancestor high reliability, almost “indestructibility”, the MJ-333 can become an excellent replacement for the outdated MJ-300, the existence of which can be called into question after the appearance of the MJ-333.

Advantages:

size
convenient control
3 working grids
switching 0/5 with one button
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
reliability in operation
two full-fledged noise suppressors

Flaws:

no S-meter

Clones: No

New on the market. Apparently it was conceived as a competitor to the TTI TCB-551, only better. In addition to the basic functions inherent to the competitor, they added adjustment of the receiver sensitivity. Why this was done is not entirely clear, since there is no S-meter on the display, you apparently need to navigate by ear. Overall, the result is a device whose audience is quite difficult to determine. In terms of functionality, it resembles the much lighter and cheaper MegaJet MJ-450.

Advantages:

wide range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
reliability in operation (little data)
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors
availability of receiver sensitivity adjustment
switching 0/5 with one button

Flaws:

The display is clearly visible only from the front and top
no S-meter

A slightly more developed version of the MJ-150. Can be recommended for both channel 15 and taxi services.

MegaJet MJ-400

Clones: Procom PRO-400, Yosan JC-2204 Turbo

The station is based on the MJ-300, to which additional functions have been added. S-meter, switching 0/5 with one button, wider range typical of older models, informative display, memory for 4 channels, modulation, unfortunately, is not stored in memory. Having thus refined the ascetic MJ-300, they nevertheless decided to delimit the market and did not introduce a threshold noise suppressor. In this station it is automatic with manual adjustment.

Advantages:

size
convenient control
wide reception and transmission range
good receiver sensitivity
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
reliability in operation (self-excitation occurs in AM, but can be treated)
switching 0/5 with one button

Flaws:

The display is clearly visible only from the front and top
the presence of only automatic noise reduction

The station is suitable for taxi services and a wide range of tasks not related to AM work.

Clones: No

In essence, this radio station is a lightweight and cheaper version of the MegaJet MJ-650 radio. And I must say that the cost reduction procedure was successful. The location of the buttons has been changed, one memory channel has been removed, the display is readable from all angles, there is no protective glass on top of the display, like the MJ-650. Otherwise, the station is completely identical in design and functionality to its older brother MegaJet MJ-650. Can be recommended for a wide range of tasks.

Advantages:

size
nice sound at reception
convenient control
wide reception and transmission range
reliability (little data)
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 with one button
enable/disable “holes” with one button
two noise suppressors.

Flaws:

at high volume the body begins to resonate and ring

Clones: Yosan CB-300

The most “classic” among the 500 series stations. The body is made of a monoblock and has super compact dimensions, which allows it to be placed in a large number of places inside the car. The display backlight is blue, in new versions it is green. But this is where the good characteristic ends and the bad begins. In terms of modulation, noise suppressors, and receiver, the device needs major improvements, and only after that it can be used for its intended purpose. The main advantage, compactness, is crossed out by dubious circuit design solutions. The second fly in the ointment is the terrible control, which you can get used to if it were adequate, but since they saved a lot on the encoder, adjusting the volume and noise reduction turns into torture. The S-meter consists of 3 segments and is more of a display meter than a tool that helps evaluate the signal level. After modifications, the station is fully operational and can be used.

Advantages:

size
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors
switching 0/5 with one button
presence of an attenuator

Flaws:

The display is clearly visible only from the front and top
glitchy control encoder

MegaJet MJ-550

Clones: Yosan CB-100

Ideologically repeats the MJ-500. The design of the device is different, but this does not mean that all the problems of the 500 are solved. By moving the front panel out, the developers tried to further adapt the station for hidden installation, leaving only the muzzle visible. Alas, all the problems of the 500 series are expressed just as strongly here. Plus, a knot with an RG45 connector, through which the muzzle makes contact with the carcass, adds problems. Inadequately working noise suppressors, dull modulation, an “overclocked” receiver, and a glitchy encoder occur, just like in the MJ-500. The station needs serious improvement before operation. After modifications, the station is fully operational and can be used.

Advantages:

size
presence of a detachable panel
possibility of hidden installation
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 with one button
presence of an attenuator
full set of CTCSS codes

Flaws:

inconvenient, confusing controls
lack of a full S-meter
crude, unreliable scheme requiring serious intervention
glitchy control encoder
unreliable joint between the muzzle and the carcass

At the moment, without modifications, it is not recommended for purchase.

Clones: K-po Venus, Lafayette Venus, Polmar Venus, Yosan CB-200

An attempt to place all controls on the headset for a completely hidden station installation. The most popular and most buggy device in the entire series. The problems are the same as those of its brothers, with the exception of the valcoder, which is not here. The station needs serious improvement, including the replacement of the RG45 joint between the carcass and the headset with a more reliable one. After modification, the station is fully operational and may even work happily for a long time, pleasing its owner. However, the scope of improvements here is the largest of all.

Advantages:

size
possibility of hidden installation
wide reception and transmission range
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
presence of 3 types of noise suppressors
switching 0/5 with one button
presence of an attenuator
full set of CTCSS codes

Flaws:

inconvenient, confusing controls
crude, unreliable scheme requiring serious intervention
unreliable joint between the headset and the body, causing the lion's share of problems

At the moment, it is not recommended to purchase without modifications.

Clones: Kamscom Wide-33, Lafayette Ermes, Procom PRO-600, Yosan JC-600

Popular and well-deserved radio station. It has everything necessary for comfortable work. 2 types of noise suppressors, excellent receiver. Successful design, easy to read display, laconic layout of controls. Everything is overshadowed only by dull, inaudible modulation, which can be successfully treated with a simple modification. Threshold noise suppressor without hysteresis, which is also quite successfully added. The turbo version differs only in the output power of 15 watts, a radiator at the rear, and that’s all.

Advantages:

size
convenient control
wide reception and transmission range
reliability
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors
switching 0/5 (via processor reboot)

Flaws:

at high volume the body begins to resonate and ring
outdated

MegaJet MJ-600 Plus (Turbo)

Clones: Anytone AT-600M, Lafayette Zeus, Procom PRO-600+, Yosan JC-600 Plus

Just like the MJ-600, it is a popular and well-deserved station. Unlike the MJ-600, it has only one type of noise suppressor, an automatic one with manual threshold adjustment. When you press the ASQ button, instead of a variable resistor, a constant one, rigidly sealed inside the station, is switched on. There is no threshold noise suppressor in this station! Good design, excellent ergonomics, well-thought-out button layout. From birth it has a dull and unintelligible modulation, which can be successfully treated surgically. The turbo version differs only in the output power of 15 watts, a radiator at the rear, and that’s all.

Advantages:

size
convenient control
wide reception and transmission range
reliability
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 (via processor reboot) - ability to work in “holes”

Flaws:

at high volume the body begins to resonate and ring
availability only automatic noise suppressor with threshold adjustment.
outdated

Clones: no Closest relatives: MJ-600

A very successful model from MegaJet. The station came to replace it and became even better. Among the innovations, adjusting the sensitivity of the receiver, switching 0/5 with one button, turning on “holes” with one button. Management has become even more convenient and clearer. The design is not for everyone, but otherwise, the station has retained all the advantages and disadvantages of its ancestor. The modulation out of the box is dull, there is no hysteresis in the threshold noise suppressor. The defects can be corrected surgically quite successfully.

Advantages:

size
nice sound at reception
convenient control
wide reception and transmission range
reliability (little data)
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 with one button - turning on/off “holes” with one button
two noise suppressors.

Flaws:

at high volume the body begins to resonate and ring

MegaJet MJ-700

Clones: No

The first super compact model on the market. Unfortunately, there are not very many reviews on it and the majority are mostly negative. The attempt to create a small station was not very successful. The crude scheme and a large percentage of defects did their dirty work. Buying this station is like a lottery, you may be lucky, or maybe not. In any case, I do not recommend contacting her for the above reasons. Out of production!

MegaJet MJ-800

Clones: Albrecht AE6690, Procom PRO-800 Closest relatives: MegaJet 600 Plus

MJ-800 is the same MJ-600 Plus, only with a modified muzzle design. Everything written for the MJ-600 Plus is also true for the MJ-800. Nothing special except for the design. The characteristics are average, the presence of only an automatic noise suppressor imposes certain specifics.

Clones: no Closest relatives: Elix Giant, Jopix Giant, Maas KX-8012, Sommerkamp TS-800DX

New model on the market. Initially it has a power of about 20 watts. It has a two-stage microphone sensitivity adjustment, two noise suppressors, and the automatic adjustment level has three fixed adjustments (tension levels). Direct input of channel number from the keyboard. Management requires habit.

Advantages:

size
nice sound at reception
wide reception and transmission range
availability of receiver sensitivity adjustment
reliability (little data)
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 with one button
opportunity to work in “holes”
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors

Flaws:

not very convenient controls
sticking to gear

MegaJet MJ-900

Clones: Procom PRO-900, Albrecht AE6890, Kamscom Wide-Neo

The main advantage is the detachable front panel. Before the advent of the MJ-550, it was the only station on our market with a detachable front panel. Unlike the Albrecht AE6890, the MJ-900 does not have AM as a class. Therefore, I consider further narration pointless. The station is not recommended for purchase. Out of production!

Yosan JC-2204

Clones: Allamat 295, FreeCit JC2204, Mocoma 27FM

An old device, deservedly loved by all taxi drivers. The stations of the first releases are practically unkillable, but now they are almost never found. The station is still being produced in China. It has undergone many changes that have had a far from positive impact on reliability and performance. Overall, it’s quite a workhorse for an undemanding user. After modification, it is quite capable of working not much worse than its Korean ancestors.

Advantages:

convenient control
nice sound at reception
wide reception and transmission range
reliability (early releases)
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage

Flaws:

The display is only readable from the front and top
presence of only one threshold noise suppressor
no switching 0/5

Workhorse, for the undemanding user .

Clones: Polmar ZX-40

The device was apparently intended as a clone of the Maycom EM-27. It practically repeats the functionality, but has its own advantages and disadvantages. Out of the box it has terribly droning modulation, an almost guaranteed burnout of the internal 9V stabilizer, no hysteresis in the threshold noise suppressor, and a terribly blue backlight for the display and headset. However, after modification and elimination of all the above-mentioned inherent shortcomings, we get a fairly reliable device with a wide range and pleasant to use. The range of improvements is quite extensive, but the result is worth it.

Advantages:

size
nice sound at reception
wide reception and transmission range
presence of an attenuator
reliability (after modification)
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
ability to work in “holes” - presence of 2 types of noise suppressors

Flaws:

not very convenient controls

A workhorse for a person who knows how to hold a soldering iron in his hands.

Clones: Albrecht AE6491, Lafayette Trucker

In terms of functionality, it practically replicates Yosan Stealth 5, but has a number of advantages over it. Can be installed in a 1DIN socket for a radio. It has a speaker on the muzzle, adjustment of the sensitivity of the microphone and receiver, a wide range and can even operate on 24 volts, which makes it possible to connect it directly to the on-board network of the truck without converters. In recent batches, defects associated with the failure of the transmitter output stage have become common. It's all due to low-quality components. Moreover, failure is impossible to predict, since it depends on the weather on Mars.

Advantages:

1DIN size
wide reception and transmission range
availability of receiver sensitivity adjustment
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 via button combination
opportunity to work in “holes”
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors
full set of CTCSS codes (optional)
capable of operating on 24V

Flaws:

not very convenient controls
The display is only readable from the front and top

Yosan Excalibur Turbo

Clones: No

Currently the best station among Yosans. In terms of functionality, it is a complete analogue of the Yosan Excalibur, but has a short body, which allows it to be installed in places with limited space. Can be installed in a 1DIN socket for a radio. Unlike a regular Excalibur, it is not able to be powered by 24 volts. It has increased transmitter power, about 20W in FM and about 12W in AM.

Advantages:

1DIN size
pleasant reception sound (front speaker)
wide reception and transmission range
availability of receiver sensitivity adjustment
adjusting microphone sensitivity
reliability
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 via button combination
opportunity to work in “holes”
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors
has increased power output

Flaws:

not very convenient controls
The display is only readable from the front and top

Vector VT-27 Comfort (HP)

Clones: Maxon CM-10

A successful model among all CB Vectors. It looks ascetic, however, it is a full-fledged transceiver with a very wide range of reception/transmission frequencies. The controls are quite confusing, but you can get used to it. Low price, high level of reliability. The modulation is high-quality, but quiet, which makes it easy to treat. 2 adequately working noise suppressors, which, as a rule, do not require modification or adjustment. The downside, compared to competitors, is the size of the station. The HP version has an increased output power of up to 20 watts and lower reliability of the transmitter output stage.

Advantages:

wide range
multistandard
reliability (simple, non-HP version)
easy to read LED display
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 via channel switching - “holes” are accessible via channel switching

Flaws:

inconvenient, confusing controls

Vector VT-27 Explorer

Clones: Radian C-Five

Discontinued, but can still be found on radio markets. In the past, the most sophisticated and at the same time buggy station from the vector family. The design resembles a car radio with a color display. Among the advantages, a built-in SWR meter, a headset with a joystick that allows you to control the station, power adjustment (up to 18 watts), 0/5 with one button, 3 types of noise suppressors (automatic, threshold, tone), there is a compressor and an expander. Despite all its advantages, the station has an unpredictable set of glitches and, due to its complicated circuitry, you never know what surprise it will present in the future. Due to the rather high price and high percentage of defects, it has not gained popularity among users.

Advantages:

comfortable headset
wide range
multistandard
easy to read display
switching 0/5 with one button
"holes" are present
built-in SWR meter
adjustable power, up to 18 watts
presence of 3 types of noise suppressors

Flaws:

inconvenient, confusing controls
crude, unreliable scheme requiring serious intervention

Vector VT-27 Navigator

Clones: Radian C-Four, Storm Radian

Essentially similar to the Vector VT-27 Explorer except for the front panel design. Otherwise, everything written for the explorer is also true for the navigator. A crude and buggy circuit does not contribute to reliable operation. It is also not recommended for purchase. Out of production!

Clones: no

Closest relatives: TTI TCB-550 Relatively new model. It differs from the TCB-550 by the presence of an automatic noise suppressor, while the 550 has only a threshold noise suppressor. Despite its external asceticism, it has the necessary functionality for successful work on air. 2 types of noise suppressors, wide range, convenient controls, reliable volume and noise suppressor controls. The display is only readable from the top and front. Out of production!

Advantages:

size
convenient control
comfortable headset
wide reception and transmission range
reliability
after modification, modulation becomes an advantage
switching 0/5 with one button
"holes" are accessible through channel switching
presence of 2 types of noise suppressors (requires modification and adjustment)

Flaws:

no S-meter

Clones: No

An attempt to create an elite station competitor to the MJ-555. The attempt is frankly a failure from the beginning, since the price of this miracle will make you ask, is it the price or the phone number? In general, this is a very ambiguous model, which, on the one hand, has everything necessary for working on the air, and on the other hand, behaves somewhat atypically and costs the same as 3 ordinary radio stations. However, people buy it, install it and use it. Can only be recommended to fans of the President company.

Advantages:

possibility of hidden installation
convenient control.
after opening it is capable of working in several grids
switching 0/5 is carried out with one button
3 types of noise suppressors
build quality

Flaws:

automatic squelch does not work correctly
modulation in FM is scary
The volume control has a threshold-step, that is, either there is sound or not
The station body in receiving mode heats up to 60 degrees Celsius
The tonal squelch is not capable of operating separately for reception and transmission.

In general, despite the warranty and reliability, it is not recommended for purchase.

Clones: Stabo XM5003

A rather ambiguous station. The functionality is similar to the MegaJet MJ-150 produced for the American market. If there is an adapter frame, it is possible to install a radio in a 1DIN hole. Once opened, it has a fairly wide range of reception and transmission and a power of about 8 watts. Overall, not a bad device, if not for the price.

Advantages:

front speaker
convenient control
build quality

Flaws:

size is not standard
“tailed” automatic noise suppressor
switching 0/5 is implemented through a convoluted algorithm

Clones: Uniden 505 Pro, M-Tech Legend I

A very simple station with fairly decent characteristics. Has a plastic body. Minimum required set of functions. Like all presidents, the automatic noise reduction is “tailed”. Otherwise, for the money it’s a completely adequate device for a non-demanding user. It can be recommended for fans of the President brand who do not need various bells and whistles to work in Channel 15.

Advantages:

high receiver sensitivity
possibility of opening to a wide range
convenient control
build quality
Ease of Management

Flaws:

“tailed” automatic noise suppressor

For different communication conditions, it is optimal to use radio stations of different frequency ranges - there are no absolutely universal radios (just as there are no universal cars - for some conditions a racing Ferrari is better, for others - a Belarus tractor).

Portable radios in the 27 MHz range with frequency modulation (FM) are optimal for use in forests and rough terrain, because A radio wave at these frequencies is able to go around fairly large obstacles (comparable to half the wavelength - i.e. 5-6 meters).

In order to have a high communication range in dense forests and hills, radio stations in the 27 MHz range must have the best possible electrical parameters - output power, sensitivity and selectivity of the receiver, effective spectral (the amplitude noise suppressor usually used in imported CB radios cannot fundamentally work with a weak signal, because it is not able to distinguish it from background electromagnetic interference and ethereal noise that is of an amplitude nature) a noise suppressor with a low (optimally 0.05-0.07 μV) response threshold. Type of modulation - necessarily FM - frequency (AM modulation fundamentally cannot provide high range and signal intelligibility over long distances due to the fact that electromagnetic interference is predominantly amplitude in nature. Amplitude modulation - due to tradition - is used by truck drivers. All other users of radio stations AM modulation is long gone).

Portable CBs are precisely such radios - with parameters that are as advanced as possible to achieve a high communication range. FM walkie-talkies series , , and and walkie-talkies with AM/FM series modulation.

In addition, due to innovative circuit solutions, these radios have a very long battery life and high reliability in conditions of both extremely high temperatures and severe frosts (they were developed for Russian climatic conditions). Thanks to modern assembly technologies (the latest series of radios use SMD surface mounting with the board treated after assembly and adjustment with a polymer coating or special electrical varnish), the radios of the Berkut, Yeger, Hunter and Tourist series work reliably in conditions of high humidity. If, due to condensation or water getting inside, the radio stops working - after drying (the batteries must be removed when drying), as a rule, its functionality is fully restored - due to the reliable protection of the board, electrochemical corrosion, which is usual in such cases, does not occur.

KB Berkut LLC, in addition to portable CB radios, produces portable car radios . These walkie-talkies are convenient for use in a car - they are installed in widely used cell phone holders, they work through a car adapter from the cigarette lighter, and thanks to the combination of receiver parameters, they are able to work with a very weak signal, so it is possible to use compact car antennas.

CB radios are portable and stationary radio communication devices that operate in the “civilian band” of 27 MHz on short waves. These are license-free CB radio stations that have a fairly wide range of applications.

Using CB radios

CB or CB radio transmitters are a reliable and affordable means of communication that allows you to connect several subscribers, for example, a store with a warehouse, a warehouse with a vehicle, etc. Also, these radio stations can be used on boats, small ships and yachts. Currently, CB radio communications are widely used in vehicles. Car CB radios allow for regular contact between drivers, receive current information about the state of the roads, help in choosing the optimal route, report accidents and technical malfunctions along the way. In our online store you can buy CB radios in Moscow from the world's leading manufacturers of radio equipment at the most affordable prices. Here you will find portable and car radios of such brands as: Alan, Berkut, Midland, LEGEND, Dragon, President Harry and other European manufacturers. Due to the peculiarities of the transmission of radio waves, portable CB radio stations have great advantages over unlicensed radio transmitters that operate in high frequency bands (LPD 433 MHz and PMR 446 MHz) when operating in forests and rough terrain. Using a CB radio station, you can call the fire department, police, ambulance, emergency services through special dispatch services that will call the necessary assistance by telephone.

Frequencies used by CB radio

For CB radio stations, the main channels are those that start at a frequency of 26.965 MHz and which come with a frequency step that is a multiple of 10 KHz. These channels are conventionally designated from 1 to 40, and Russian radio amateurs call them “Europe” or “fives”. In the Russian Federation, the Polish frequency numbering was first adopted, but it is called “Russia R” or “zeros”. Today, many Russian users of CB radio stations use European numbering.
For ease of use of radio stations, the grids were marked with letters. Marking in which the main range is designated by the letter “C” is classic. The most common descriptions of channels are of this type: C9FM, C9EFM, C9EF, 9EF.

The first letter "C" stands for the grid, which contains a set of forty channels.
The next number “9” indicates the channel number. Sometimes channels are indicated by two numbers.
Next comes the optional designation for the European frequency grid “E” or mandatory for the Russian frequency “R”.
Then the applied modulation is indicated (FM, F, AM, A).

Types of modulations

CB radio stations use three types of modulation: amplitude AM, frequency FM and single sideband SSB. When using the first two modulations, the communication range will be approximately the same. Many Russian users use the FM frequency, which provides high quality sound. Truckers mainly use the AM frequency, and SSB allows for maximum reception range, but not all CB radios support this frequency.

In our online store Radio Shop on CB radio stations, the price is quite reasonable, so each of our visitors will be able to choose for themselves the most optimal transmitter option that can satisfy all their radio communication needs.

CB radio stations (27 MHz) wholesale and retail

In addition to mobile communications, radio communications, in which radio waves are the information carrier, are widely used for long-distance negotiations. This type of communication is of strategic importance, therefore, to use a number of frequencies, it is necessary to obtain permission for the walkie-talkie and for the use of radio frequencies from regulatory authorities. In our country, a certain frequency range is allocated for civilian use, which does not require any permits or registrations - these are CB radio stations operating at a frequency of 27 MHz.

Structurally, CB radios are a combination of a radio transmitter and a radio receiver with all auxiliary equipment. This means of communication is used in many fields of activity and is called “civilian walkie-talkie”. This device ensures reliable transmission of information, which is especially important in places where there is no mobile network. This walkie-talkie allows several people to talk to each other at a distance of up to 10 km.

CB radios can be portable or stationary:

Stationary CB radios are most widely used, and to ensure stable communication, an antenna is required. It is always possible to find a suitable place for its installation on machines. This walkie-talkie allows taxi drivers, road services and truck drivers to have constant contact. This makes it possible to receive information about the situation on the roads, which helps in choosing the optimal route and interaction in case of technical problems;
Portable CB radios also have their admirers. The disadvantage of such devices is the shorter communication range compared to analogues in cars. Their body is made of durable plastic and is protected from dirt and moisture getting inside. Thanks to this, the portable device can be used in all weather conditions. It is used by law enforcement and security personnel, in hiking and extreme sports, as well as in industry for communication between warehouses and workshops.

A CB radio station can be purchased wholesale and retail by choosing the best (that is, suitable) model in terms of cost and functionality. Any of the proposed devices has all the characteristics and functionality necessary for high-quality communication. These are automatic noise reduction, scanning and channel control, as well as other functions that simplify the operation of the radio in this range.
