It's got some features my radio doesn't, but I can tell already I'll be putting my PC78 Elite back in pretty soon. The bluetooth is kind of bugging me. There's one button that does all the functions, including enabling, disabling, pairing, and turning on certain features. You don't have to key the mike to talk on the phone. I haven't called anyone yet because of the time.
TEAM PLAYER DELUXE,CM:biggrin_25 514:Has weighed it,judged it and has found it to be semi undesirable in his estimation thus far.Call somebody CM,anybody...Just tell them " Oh ####,I'm sorry...I didn't notice the time,I'll call you back tomorrow"....

Not if you don't that they're already in bed.

Anyways, I'll probably just stick the new CB in my Tahoe. I really like my PC78 Elite, and I've been meaning to put something in my cruiser. The Michigan State Police were nice enough to leave a nice plate to mount it on the side, so I just need some coax.

Yep, had some good times with it, too. Of course, those good times can't be discussed publicly, nor can my behavior when I get out of the truck and into the Tahoe after a few weeks in the big truck.

LOL...I know where you're coming from...Well thanks for checking that radio out and PLEASE do let us know if it works out.If it does what it should, I'm going to go grab one for my pickup so I can use the BT part too.I run Galaxys and am really partial to them so I doubt I would ever use it out,but I spend a lot of time on the phone in my pu and it would be handy.

I should mention I've been to truck stops where you had to talk to the person at the counter over the CB to scale your truck. I don't remember the place, but there's one on US-53/I-39 south of US-10 in WI.

For the life of me I can't figure what goes through somebodys head that does this job without a radio.I know the drawbacks of listening to idiots,but man,I can't begin to count the times it's helped me throughout the years.
