(NEW) Uniden PC68LTX 40-Channel CB Radio

I need a decent name brand CB radio for longer road trips to keep awake, listen to chatter on the CB and get road and weather conditions from other CB users on the road. I set it up "by the book" with the CB antenna and that required me to get a small SWR meter to adjust the antenna to this new Uniden CB radio & that worked good and took a few minutes. However, I installed the CB radio using my vehicle's cigarette lighter and the inline fuse from the CB to the cigarette lighter kept blowing. So, when I got time, I will do a "hard install" and wire it directly in the vehicle thru the firewall, ground it properly and to the fuse box/battery and hope this stops the fuses from blowing. Sound quality when it worked was pretty good as I connected a single external speaker to this CB radio unit, jack for the speaker is on the rear of the CB radio, next to the CB antenna. Reception is fair, but can get a longer CB antenna for better reception, I guess. You can connect PA speaker under the hood and use this as a PA system also. 3 stars......good CB unit, but not perfect.
