President Johnny III USA 40 Channel CB Radio 12 or 24V, Black

Awesome little radio, currently installed in my jeep. Good quality and packed with plenty of features. Really enjoy the scan function which most of my other radios didn’t have, and is the primary reason I chose this radio. ASC works good and the whole unit is pretty solid.

Ive owned over 10 various CBs ranging in cost and capabilities and this little CB is my favorite so far. Its simple and easy to use, clear sounding with all the options I need in the offroad community

Good radio

About the same size as Andy but the heatsink is inside I hope. I just got it about 1 hour ago up date coming soon.

Youre going to need a antenna pluse all electric servers for 12v. All you get is the radio.

Works great 12v or 24 v best cb we have used in equipment so far

I was quite unhappy with my Cobra 75WX ST CB radio: the reception quality was very bad no matter what antenna I had (5, 4, 3), plus I really, really hated that it kept returning to channel 9 whenever I stoped the engine. Oh, and the LCD screen is so tinny that I needed my glasses to read it. So Ive replaced it with a President Johnny III USA CB. The quality difference between the two is night and day. On the last jeeping trip I had both the HAM (an Yaesu FT400, also a great HAM radio) and the CB on, and I couldnt tell which one was which. I had to keep an eye on the HAMs VU-meter to figure out which was which. And this is with a 2 CB antenna. The thing I liked about the Cobra was its minimal size. But the President is not bad either: I have it sandwiched between the passengers seat and the cup holder console. Perfect fit, close to see, and control. The auto-squelch works absolutely amazingly. As I said: HAM sound quality! - Weather Alert - can do background scans of NOAA channels. - Manual squelch and ASC - Large Multi-functions LCD display - S-meter - ANL filter and HI-CUT - RF Gain - Scan - Priority channel memory - Roger Beep - Front microphone plug - perfect for using it with a JeepUniq mic mount! Downsides: a bit more expensive than comparative size CBs, but thats not apple to apple comparison this is a fully featured CB (it only lacks sideband to be considered top-of-the-line).

Easy set up , very clear sound.

This is a good alternative if you dont have space for a regular single din sized CB such as a Uniden 980SSB. The reason I only give it four stars is that I think the buttons are kind of small. I compared the President Andy, President Bill, President Johnny III, and Uniden 980SSB (already owned the uniden as a base station). I didnt have room for the Uniden so I went with the President Andy. The tipping scale between all the president models was the speaker loudness. Means I dont have to have an external speaker. With the Bill model I definitely would have needed an external speaker and possibly for the Johnny model. The Uniden and the Pres Andy both had good speakers on par with each other. Pros Smallish size, decent speaker, Best reception of pres units, channel change on mic, quick access to wx, 9/19 button, rf gain knob, channel buttons on mic Cons screen not as bright as pres andy, shows freq on screen making channel numbers smaller, picks up engine noise, buttons small, scanning kinda slow, only three screen colors, no talkback

It started out a very good radio. I was impressed. Then it simply lost range and tuning abilities.
