Top 10 CB Radio Exports To Buy 

Nicely put together video. Good job! Btw thanks for shoutout

Hey raccoon great video. I agree with your selections. Now to the important stuff what’s the name of that great music at the intro. New subscriber here

I have the President Lincoln II Plus "channel expanded" and I can vouch that it is an amazing radio. I love it, does 10,11,12 meter and in between some. I've made multiple long distance contacts with it through a 102" stainless steel whip on my jeep. Even made my first Over seas contact with this very radio. Power is stock in fact everything is stock except for the channel expansion. Great radio and I'm probably gonna buy a couple more for my other trucks.

Great Video and Intro !!......I just sub'd your channel......WoW , CB has really changed since the late 1960's...Back then , I had a Laf. Comstat 25B w/ a Turner +2 Mic....Now a Ham w/ an old Yaseu FT 101EE....Thank you for bringing me up to speed in 2021( lol )......

Great video 👍👍

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO..RETIRED LARRY IN INDIANAPOLIS .... .

In my opinion the Stryker 497 is the best 10 meter radio for Truck drivers. It’s the most powerful out of the Stryker line up and it is loud on am

I'm surprised the RCI 99N2 or N4 didn't make the list. But good list.

I run a vintage with a new. Cobra 148 GTL DX With a teardrop 575 m6 mic. And a alinco dx 10. Happy days. Twig wise I have a silver rod on a tower block roof (18 floors) I get out very well

Raccoon at it again- LOLThanks for the video, and the great intro, stop in sometime for a Coffee. 21 Old Radio Night, also on Ch 12 in S.C.

Of these radios, I agree 100% with the number 1. I have an Anytone 6666, it's an excellent radio. I do sometimes kick myself in the rear for not spending a bit more on a Stryker, but in a way I wish I'd have spent even more and got an Icom 7100 and mars modded it too - but that's not an export radio. I really don't like the analog meters on some of these, or the 1970's styling. The Stryker kind of has that 50's chrome grill vibe to it ... anyway, the Anytone is a good radio too. Especially hooked up to the Stryker whip I'm running. The Anytone 5555N (not even close to the regular 5555 which I've heard good things about) is a really good radio for a more compact installation. Wish you would have wrapped the 3 "same but different wattage" into 1, and added 2 more radios - whatever your choices may be.

I still run my old original Hygain V 2785 5 band VFO BLOCK switch on the front panel ,PEP is 30w on SSB, 10w on AM and FM. Also it has a function to drop exactly 5 kHz between the programmed frequencies that end in a 5 e.g. 27.405 mhz with the drop it can go down or up to27.400 or 27.410 depending what channel is displayed on the LED ch readout. No this radio is not for sale as it's now a collector's item . Apart from that radio I also have many other style cb radios also using the cybernet chassis and a PLL 02A and 02A-G chip in them making it very easy to mod for extra channels above and below the standard 40 channels. They work well with my Palomar 2250 amp. Also in my collection over the years is the Ranger RCI 2970 at 200w SSB and 50w on AM and 100w on FM. My home base antennas are a homemade 5 element yagi using 1/2 length for driven element ( it's a full size yagi ) , a homemade 9 element cubical quad with double reflector ( 2nd reflector is 1/4 wave length bigger than the standard design on purpose) to close the backdoor and limit the backscatter . My quad is only a baby at only 18.7m long boom and it sits at 10m above the ground , the yagi is 14.7m long and sits at 15m above the ground on its own seperate tower . Apart from that I run a Sirtel 16 radial ground plane vertical , a homemade 7/8 wave length vertical , a homemade 2 element Hexbeam ( 5 bands for ham and one for cb ) plus a homemade G5RV longwire . I prefer to make my own antennas for 2 reasons - it's cost effective and it's a very learning curve on how antennas work . For UHF cb radio I have a factory made 18ft vertical base unit, a homemade circular shaped quad style antenna at 12 elements with a triple reflector ( very highly directional and exceptionally quiet thru the back end ) and a homemade 12 element quagi antenna ( configuration is cubical quad -1 driven element , 2 reflectors quad type and 9 yagi directors . The best part about making homemade antennas and getting a contact with them brings joy to oneself and astonishment to the people one has the contact with . Even more on HF frequencies. Great video mate well done , cheers from Australia mate , PS I confuse my equipment often anymore as it interferes with my girlfriends pacemaker unit when she's home or outside the house in the yard .

Still happy with my 4 watt Amstrad CB901, Avanti Pedo 4 home base antenna or my DV27 when I'm out driving in my Austin Allegro !! 👌📻💯😜

I'd like to know where get a new 25 watt rci 2950 that comes with a trusted seller that has that chip pcb installed or in the box no extra fees! So its on 10,11,&12meters no strings attached" they are a $250 radio . And the clarifier is unlocked . I always liked the old 2950"s in 1994 bought it put on 11 meters fast . Now a days I can operate on all them bands so all radios work for me. Great video keep up the good work.

Awesome

I'm surprised a Connex hasn't made the list. I just picked up a Connex CX36 HPF from Mister Big Time in Maryland and that radio rocks, Wilson 1000 trucker antenna and a Astatic mic, most guys say shes getting out nicely, matter of time till i put my 200 Watt linear to it.

Been running strykers for awhile now. Good radios. Out of all the radios on my bench they have the best recieve. And yes, there alot of radios on my bench. 73 Triple 7's Oro Valley Arizona

I got Anytone Smart , tiny thin radio , it cover 28MHz as well as normal American 27MHz CB frequencies. I got it because it was only thin CB I could get at that time. it was around $60 at Amazon back in 2019. I use it to listen to CB frequency. some TX. 27MHz CB are much better thing to have on Highway than Amateur Radio. AG6JU

Ps .I have a Galaxy Dx 2517 and the Galaxy Dx 98 mobile I love them both

back in the 1990s the top export radios were the Galaxy 99v, and the original 1st Gen. RCI2950 for mobiles. Base radios were the Galaxy Saturn, Saturn Turbo, or the RCI 2990. Forgot the Uniden HR-2510 mobile.

Saturn galaxy turbo ❤❤❤

I have the Stryker SR-955 HP a great radio for around town, lol.

Any tips on buying a classic Turner supersidekick Mike from across The Pond without crazy taxes ?

I still have an RCI Ranger RG-99 from early 2000s.

I have the european President Lincoln ll+ but there also should have been the CRT SS 7900V turbo and the CRT SS 9900 in this list!

I received the new Ranger RCI X9 a few days ago. I wonder if it would make this list?

Is the channel 12 am u guys talk on or ssb lower ssb or high ssb?

So how many of the radios have a button only ( no soldering / jumping / cutting ) etc to get the channel expansion ? I know the Anytone 6666 is a button only type.

How do you turn up the watts on a President Andy2 USA? Thanks for sharing 🍸

You forgot the Anytone 6666 and 5555

Ok. If emergency comms are in the thought process, how many watts do you need to not be buried in the background chatter and make the trip consistently within 100 miles? Actually 50 to 75 is more realistically critical. I know such a question is pretty problematic but there are some big talkers here that have a darn good idea of wattts vs miles on a daily average using various antennas and base vs mobile. I don't want to drop a penny or a dime more than I have to for enhanced and reliable comms covering a 100 air mile radius. Also battery drain is a consideration under emergency power scenarios. I know not all radios are as hungry as others.

Where would one go to purchase a non-exported, export radio? Also, I am guessing the upcoming rule change to allow fm to cb as well is the reason for the current shortages of popular models???

what do you think of the Galaxy DX95T2?

We’re is the best place to buy the RCI ?

Where do you buy these radios?

What about the uniden bearcat 980 ssb?

Must be side band capable> STRYKER 955HP Galaxy 959

good video except the long introduction, get strait to the chase!

Can you fix my 138xlr vo transmit

Really a striker above a ranger..... thats funny lmao

Does anybody know of any radio doctors or sales people in the Boise Idaho area

I sold my galaxy turbo

I have a connex

i'm not infavour of long introductory scene. They should last only about 4 seconds, if there is one at all.

Kinda surprised no Connex radios made the list.

isnt 10 meter different than CB?

Mine goes up to 28.305 meg

No base stations like tx ranger or galaxy 2574

i have the president grant 2

Ii meters

What!? No RadioShack cb's? Especially the Navaho?

I am so confused. Are there any simple, straight forward, easy to understand video's that could possibly clear up the all the oodles of information surrounding cb radio's. My God there seems to be a lot to consider. So many names. Some considered cb's. Some considered ham radios. Some mobile. Some handheld. Some considered base stations. Then there is the confusion of side bands and FM and what it means and how THEY are useful as well which is something else I don't really understand at all. Then there is 10m, 11m and the like. Something else I don't really understand. And then you throw in export radios that are less restrictive and easier to modify if you don't care about the so-called 'rules' or FCC. I am so lost. Signed~confused asf! I don't mind spending the money but I'd like something VERY powerful and something that's easy to modify. Something that I can learn and grow on as well would be nice or more specifically a cb that has all the other options I may want when I understand them a little better (like ssb and fm). Oh and a plain and simple roger's beep is a must have too. You seem to be an authority so any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated. I DO love the look of the Galaxy's and Strykers though. Always have. But there are so much out there and so many options to consider Help! :)

don't get a radio without Upper/Lower SIDEBAND ;) just sayin.... if you gunna use it to talk to the truckers and the peeps you have with you in pilot vehicles... then yea, the one without SSB would be fine, but if you gunna wanna sit there int he tracktor out there in the field one night plowing shootin skip... you will want one that DOES SIDEBAND....... hear me striker why would you even put out a radio that doesn't do multibands well not bands, MODES ALL THE AVAILABLE MODES... sigh... this video will problably start to get more new views cuz like SKIP IS ON ITS WAY BACK!!! SUNACTIVITY IS INCRESING that means SKIP IS GUNNA GET BETTER Even... have a wonderful EVERY THING !!! HEAR/SEE YA AROUND!

Check out the AnyTone radios especially the AT-6666. Any export that doesn't have AM, FM, LSB, and USB is not worth buying IMO.
