  • The Retevis MB 2 Is just hitting the market as of May 2024. #cb #cbradio This rig gives us 12 banks of 40 channels in both AM and FM. In ON AIR testing this radio has a good quiet receiver and has good transmit audio.
    Bonus... Realistic microphones work on this radio as well. There is more to come so stay tuned.
    Now we need a SSB Version :)

    Eagerly awaiting the full review of this radio. Would like to know how it modulates and sounds in both modes. Like the retro look about it. Really cool 👍

    I feel like smaller size radios are making a comeback, especially these newer ones with options , good modulation , and able to drive a 1x4 with just the right amount. Throw on an echo mic and suddenly your an
    “RCI-Ranger Sounding” thumper for pocket change compared to these ridiculous high priced AM radios .

    I went out and looked it up and it looks interesting. But..... I HAVE TO ASK..... is it FCC Type Accepted??? I didn't see any mention on the ad I found.....

      The Decal on the radio gives a FCC ID Number. So that is 100% Maybe :)

    They offer this as a package deal with a mag mount antenna for $110 on Amazon and I am incredibly interested. I know you haven’t hd this long but how’s it holding up so far?

    The reason why some bands are FM only, like the German band below our channel 1, is because some countries in Europe are FM only, no AM on some bands there hence the no switch to AM on some bands using the original band control in the manual.

    • @390WagonMaster
      @390WagonMaster  4 місяці тому

      Correct, however there are two mods I found, one giving the channels with directed / fixed modes and the other that lets you change modes and power settings. There are BTW 3 pwr settings depending what ch mod you select. WHEW!
      Crazy setup, but the radio performs very well. Stay tuned. cheers
