CB is not just for truckers

President George FCC CB radio with its orange display lit and the hand mic resting on top

No antenna or AC supply comes in the box.

The President George FCC is a full-featured CB with every mode you would want: AM, FM, and SSB, on all 40 channels, plus weather channels and alerts. It runs 4 W on AM and FM and 12 W PEP on SSB. It is a 12 V mobile radio with a mounting bracket and a fused DC cord. To run it as a home base, pair it with a 13.8 V supply like the Samlex SEC-1223, since it draws under 5 A on transmit, and a good CB antenna like the Solarcon A-99. You also need coax with PL-259 ends and proper grounding, and neither is included.
