Maxon's HCB-10C is a compact, portable Citizen's Band radio designed to operate in the 26.965 to 27.405 MHz band. This lightweight unit provides maximum RF output power, and you can power it using batteries or your vehicle. The radio transmits maximum legal RF output power (4 watts) with high-level modulation (in accordance with FCC Part 95 Rules). You can use it as a portable CB radio (powered by Ni-Cd or alkaline batteries) or in a vehicle or boat with the provided 12V DC power cord.
A phase-locked-loop synthesizer provides clear voice transmission and reception on all 40 available CB channels, while accessory jacks allow "hands-free" operation when used with an optional headset with boom microphone and mini-VOX unit. Built-in Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) provide constant sound level (from weak or strong signals) and clear reception, and automatic modulation control eliminates "peak" and "valley" transmission signals. Last channel memory recalls last channel displayed.
Accessory jacks allow "hands-free" operation when used with an optional headset with boom microphone and mini-VOX unit (Maxon WTA-13G). The unit can also be used with the QPA-1425 lapel/ speaker microphone.
The antenna is a major component in the strength of the radio's transmission signal and its reception range. The radio requires a 50-ohm mobile or base antenna. For greater range and clarity, Maxon recommends a vertically polarized telescopic antenna (like Maxon's optional WTA -1) or mobile magnetic mount CB/weather antenna (Maxon's optional WTA-4W). The "Rubber Duck" antenna included with this radio is suited for applications where maximum range is not required.
No FCC license is required to operate the unit, but, you must know and be familiar with Part 95 of the FCC Rules in regard to Subpart D of the Citizens Band Radio Service; a copy is enclosed. This model requires either 9 rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries or 9 AA alkaline batteries (not included). It can also be powered by the 12V DC power cord supplied with the radio. Use Maxon's optional AC/DC Wall Battery Charger (DV-7210) for recharging nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries--and Ni-Cd batteries only--in the radio. A hi/lo power selector button conserves battery power.
What's in the Box

Do Not Waste Your Money.......2006-04-12
Great Starter CB.......2004-09-18
I would suggest getting a mobil magnet mount antenna with it to give it that boost it needs to reach other CB'ers out there.
It could use an autoscan feature but overall it's a great little unit. Comes with a 12 volt cigarett adapter so you don't have to worrry about keeping fresh batteries in it all of the time.
Also great for hicking and camping. Full legal power and great range 5-7 miles out in the woods. Reach base camp no problem.
Not sure of the battery life yet. Takes 9 AA's and has a low/high power output 1/4 watts
