Black Friday Deals on CB Radios

This year, Black Friday lands on the 24th November. It is the first Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States and marks the busiest gift buying day leading up to Christmas and is also the first weekend after the December payday.

Black Friday receives its Title due to the fact that it is said to be the day of the year when sellers progress from the 'Red' to the 'Black' as Christmas time is their most lucrative season!

Online Retailers like Amazon present exclusive price cuts on all sorts of products on Black Friday particularly on electrical items and for all those that prefer to steer clear of the bruises this Black Friday, the shrewd money is on searching online and having the product delivered without any of the struggles of standing in line and getting crushed in the stampede.

Not that your very likely to experience too much of this down your neighbourhood CB Radio store this Friday!

Rig Review - Uniden Uniace 200

Rig Review

Uniden Uniace 200

This is a classic CB Radio from the early Eighties and was considered quite a high end rig in its day.  Our vewsion had the chrome finish with chrome dials which makes for a really attractive little rig.

Equipped with RF Gain and Mic Gain it also comes with a number of buttons on the front face offering a PA switch, Tone control, High/Low Power and a dim feature which affects both the channel selector and signal meter light.

These are still very sought after rigs especially because they are quite compact but also as they are renowned for having a brilliant receive.  This is definitely one of our most favourite rigs from the Eighties.

Type          40 Channel FM
Design       9/10
Price          8/10
Usability    9/10

Overall    26/30
