Citizen's Band. It evokes a nostalgia...like Smokey and the Bandit and Breaker Breaker... but is it still relevant? Well, the QYT CB-58 certainly suggests it is. Aside from being in the most common frequency range in the US, its built quality makes it an absolute beast. With a BNC antenna connector it's easy to rig home brew antennas like we build in the RTO Course. Best part? Its got the same two prong Kenwood plug that the Baofengs have - meaning all of the same accessories work.
Oh and I almost forgot - its both AM and FM modes, and since nearly all of the CB radios in the US are AM, you've got a serious degree of security through obscurity. All the better when you're sending data bursts via the techniques in The Guerrilla's Guide to the Baofeng Radio.
Package includes AA battery pack, rechargeable battery, battery charger.
