Classically styled but equipped with all the modern features, the Uniden
Bearcat PC78 Elite CB radio is a must for truckers, boaters, and other
CB enthusiasts. The radio is housed in a stylish silver chassis with
backlit chrome control knobs--an enduring look that's sure to satisfy
longtime CB fans. More importantly, the radio operates on any of the 40
AM frequencies authorized by the FCC, while also picking up seven NOAA
weather channels. For good measure, it even includes an alarm that
sounds when a severe weather storm is forecast. Perhaps the PC78 Elite's most satisfying feature, however, is
Uniden's dynamic squelch control, which delivers a clear signal with
less noise so that all your channels sound crisp and legible. The
squelch control even reduces noise when the CB user on the other end
doesn't have it, an advantage that few other squelch enhancers enjoy.
The front-positioned microphone, meanwhile, is easy to access and
comfortable to hold thanks to its ergonomic pistol grip and extra-long
coiled cord.
Additional features include an enhanced night-vision display; Delta
tuning; adjustable RF and mic gain controls; instant access to channel 9
(the emergency channel); a PA/CB switch; soft-wave radio (SWR)
calibration; and signal meter, antenna warning, and LED indicators that
let you monitor radio activity at a glance.
The unit, which measures 7.28 by 2.2 by 8.89 inches (W x H x D) and
weighs a little over 4 pounds, is backed by a two-year warranty on parts
and labor.
