The performance is great, and the sound from the small speaker is clear and loud. The radio has an undocumented hidden menu that lets you adjust modulation and output power.

The president weather channel is suitable and reliable and fits well with your daily purpose. The antenna and coax are separate components you would need to buy to fit your particular installation needs. It has a scan so you can let it scan through all the cb channels and stop when it detects an rx, and when the transmission ends, it will start scanning again. It also has the weather stations. It has a lot of features like noaa weather channels (you can listen to them), a weather alert which will bypass whatever cb channel you are listening to and transfer to the noaa weather broadcast in your area.
The CB band is within the HF frequencies which means you can often talk DX to people from 100's of miles away. The volume speakers work fine on this unless you’re in a truck that’s loud. The weather scan is also a nice touch when out of reach of cell phones for weather updates.
