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

Finally got it instealled and the antenna tuned. I heard voices over it in the driveway, so seems to work. Buttons easy to access and I prefer the rotary channel selector. Havent used it over the road yet, but expect it to do well.

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

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

Easy set up , very clear sound.

Best well made cb in a long time. Quality control is excellent, packaging is superb, works very well !

bought in november did not try to install untill march 25th on my offroad trip unit does not even turn on,very angry need to communicate with others in my party and could not waste of my time and money will not buy from amazon anymore

I needed a small unit for a dash mount in a Jeep TJ. This fit perfect and works great. Dont spend more.

Excellent CB radio, Well made, works and sounds great. use it every day when on the road.

Really like this unit. Compact with weatherband and scan. No complaints.

What can I say. This radio works & has all the features you need except upper & lower side band. I got into CB back in n the 1970s during the gas shortages & helped in starting a CB Radio Club & then a Ham radio club. I purchased this radio for a SHTF situation to talk locally to my family if the cell phones went down. I was disappointed to hear only the idiots on ch 19 and no local communications or nets in operation. Seems to work good in my car and might be OK as a base station with a decent antenna & power supply. Will probably take it out of my car & place it in a faraday cage or an unused microwave oven to protect it from an EMP attack. Hopefully that will never happen, but if it does the radio should work fine if others did the same thing. No problems with this rig but I dont think it can campare with the Cobra & Browning LTD radios from the 1970s
