Nice little radio but you might need to fire up the soldering iron.
Not a bad radio. Get a good antenna and DO use an SWR meter to adjust it. Main reason I purchased this was because it's compact and has NOAA channels. Have had it for a few weeks and the other morning I turned it on and nothing. Fiddled around with it and in the process, bumped the CB/PA switch and viola! It started working. Turns out that switch was not making good contact. I never have liked that style of push on/push off switch. Nothing beats a good slide switch. Anyway, I busted out a multimeter and found what terminals are connected in the CB position. I never use a PA speaker. Fired up the soldering iron and made a permanent connection on those terminals and removed the button for that switch. Works fine now.
