The Radioddity CB-500 

I still like looking at CB's and still have a few

Nice little CB radio, and it has the most important feature, the Roger beep…. LOL 😆

Like a lot of folks I started in CB. Royce/Radio Shack/Hi Gain/Cobra plus numerous others are ones I have used in the past. Nice unit for CB. 73

CB is a dirty acronym.😂 Thanks Steven.😊

There are many antennas like it but this one is mine.

I can't see Doctor Prepare without calling it Doctor Prepper in my head.

CB can be useful but the radios are not great. Like a good one with AM/FM/SSB with real RF gain and squelch would be nice.

4 watts of fury Locking it down from the front door to the mail box. lol

Battery with the hub is cheaper than the battery without the hub. Odd, that.

Eu is the European union cb which is the same as ours.....it has several settings for different countries cb band plan.....UK would be the uk 40 ....which is at the upper end of 27mhz and is done in fm......73, kc3obq

I remember buying a CB call sign from the FCC, and (allegedly) having to use it. We only had 23 channels, and that radio had tubes in it.

THey should add SSB

This video makes me happy

The only CB I ever bought was 40 ch and SSB. Is SSB no longer a thing, or is this a very budget radio?

CB is very quiet these days - good reason to get a CB. CB is very busy - good reason not to get a CB. When the skip is up 4 watts is totally usable.

4 watt 😂 with that big heat sink do the jumper mod Dude...

Does anybody know if these 12V/24V radios work all over the voltage range ? And is it still usefull to feed it stable 13.8 V input voltage to get the full output power or does it stabilize it internally ? I built myself a couple of power conditioners based on boost converters to maintain 13.8V while draining the battery below 11V but the rumor is that many radios don't actually need it any more-

Did you buy one of these radios for Jeem?

This radio will unlock to 18 watts output, and with a 10 meter HAM mode. Supports FM repeaters, CTCSS, the lot. It even has FM deviation settings. (FYI, the CTC ID and DF settings are shown in the manual for the Anytone AT-500M2 (which is the same radio but with a better manual.) It's a fantastic HAM radio as well!

The link isn't getting me to the radio, just the Radioddity website.

EU probably means it's configured for the EU channels, which may be the same as the US ones, but I am not certain.

Ohhh nice truck btw! Is that new?

Nothing on because of the solar storm?

Breaker, breaker! Anyone got a copy?

nice CB . outher reviews on that CB the EU is country code. and has tricks . must be like a dog . you can teach it to do tricks. the 24V is getting more common. some trucks over seas use 24V battery system. the US made ones use 12V and special solenoid to make 24V just to starter. many come with that AUX plug. for CB in car/truck this is most common way people use to get power to it. FCC allows FM and CTSCC and DTS on CB now. not Shure of the date. that radio sold in the UK has UK on display and is on their CB band that different. but they have the EU as well. just like different band plain in different countries for HAM bands the CB is no different. US and CANADA is the same 40 CH AM/FM/SSB . I am Shure the harmonics are very low off that. I have tested many Radioddity radios and they clean. even the QT60 I have that a 10 meter HAM radio and can do 12 meters and digital modes with Digi rig. keep scanning CH maybe you will hear big JEEM on the CB band LOL . 73's

Um why?

"EU" setting is for Europe

Mud Duck station 4 watts

That thing is $110? I'm embarrassed for radioshackity. Out of curiosity, why do you review it? Did they pay you to do it? There is no way anyone would push this onto anyone else without being paid. It's a solid $19.98 Dollar General toy. At least tell us who this is made for since you warn that it's not made for beginners.

You say it is not for beginners because the manual doesn't help much, How many non-beginners understand this hot mess or want to use it? I know we all want to go into settings to adjust squelch. This is for advanced CB'ers only, This is for advanced CB'ers only. COPY? COPY? lol

The makers, let's put together another Radio with dirt cheap parts and the Radio will sell. Yep, dirt cheap crappy Radio sold. Will sell more after the reviews. Bro this Radio is junk it looks junk.

The EU means its a European version.
