Nonetheless, having a built-in one comes in handy to watch on things particularly when CB radio antennas aren't always a collection and also neglect thing. You do need to watch on them and also the fact is we don't tend to maintain an SWR meter plugged in, particularly when mobile.

5-digit Frequency Counter. Although the chanel display will confirm the most beneficial a frequency counter enters its very own need to you want to customize the radio for additional frequencies.

Automatic Sound Limiter (ANL). Cuts out fixed and electrical noise.

Mic Gain. Controls the volume of the microphone.

RF Gain. Pull in weak signals although it is especially useful when speaking to someone extremely regional - transforming it down maintains just the extremely best signals minimizing disturbance.
