Can anyone recommend a rig for me

Post by LondonCbRadio »

Has to be a multi mode and under £250.

Not interested in oldschool rigs like cobra 148's i've had them all before. Looking for something new on the market but something good.

I chose the 9900 over a 6900 for size mobile. Also more power, better mic and smooth clarifier as the 6900 has a clicky clarifier.

If the 7900 has same power and if it's for home base it might be a better option.
I like the meters display but not the mic connection.

If you buy from a CB shop like knights it can be specified with UK 40.

CRT SS 7900V Turbo looks ok, does 25 to 30mhz and has some bells and whistles.

This and others like can be programmed with the CB frequencies you want via a usb lead plugged into a pc / laptop, or a shop can do it pre programmed with what you want if buying from one.

Have butchers on YouTube at it and others like. TM1 did a review on this radio also - check it out.....
