FM CB Radio Review - Overview Of The Wouxun KG-S72C FM CB Hand Held Radio - Is FM CB Better Than AM?

Get your very own Wouxun KGS72C FM Mode CB radio here: www.buytwowayr...
In this video I present to you an overview the new Wouxun KG-S72C FM CB radio. This is the first FM CB radio from Wouxun and also the smallest FM CB radio you can buy. I also compare AM CB audio to the new FM CB mode and I show what FM CB sounds like when listening on an old AM CB radio and what AM CB sounds like when listening on a new FM CB radio.
BuyTwoWayRadios sent me this radio at no cost in exchange for making this video.

Randy. You didn't take the protective cover off the display. As your favorite viewer I was expecting this. If I were to click the Affiliate link below I won't know what it looks like without the displays protective cover.

Actually, Mike, I'm his favorite viewer. Not you. But I agree that he should have removed the clear rubberized neoplastic protective cover that goes over the clear plastic display. It is removed with a characterised “Aaahhhhhhh,” which was uncharacteristically absent. Me, I actually keep them on for as long as practically possible. That way, I can keep the display as pristine as possible. I do, however, join in with the “Aaahhhhhh” chorus with my brothers online. I would like to know how many remove those covers and how many keep them on until the batteries are wheeezing their last and the keypads are so worn one can no longer see the numbers and letters on them. (I'm not _that_ bad, but there are some out there who do. Shhhhhh. See, I can hear them breathing!)

A game changer would be 10 roger beeps, and enabled for AM. They could more easily swing that, and a built in talkback. This is a good radio to get more CB Radios on channel 19, in semis, and in regular vehicles, for on-the-highway coms.

[@jefferysmith5921]

Back in the day, when I was a young teenager, in the 70s... CBs were 23 channels. Many of the base stations used a crystal for each channel. If you wanted to add a channel you had to buy a crystal for that channel. And, had to have a license to use one. Which nobody did. I have not had one in years. I do have a GMRS radio and license based upon your recommendations. Thinking of getting a CB radio just for the fun of it.

[@fm71450]

Dear Sensei, the “President Randy II” (named after your goodself?) is also CB radio with am&fm capability. Perhaps you could give - in your “spare time” - a review of this radio, as well. “Some folks” have GMRS & CB radios, and your reviews are ALWAYS helpful (and entertaining). Anyway, as always, thank you.

[@josephcampbell1693]

I remember CB when a license was required (WRAC4629). After that they went to ZiP code as your call sign. During that time CB went from 23 channels to 40 channels. After the Zip Code as your call sign the FCC said What the hell and allowed to make up your own call sign called handle. Now each channel is both AM and FM. Even though CB is loosing ground to GMRS and HAM due to more power and less interference .

I had a lot of questions but soon realized this is not the radio I need. When they put out a more car ready radio I am sure you will update us. Also want to know if there is any thing out there that allows us to get around putting holes in our cars or crushing the cable in a window. Enjoyed the video. Remember when I bought a Mossberg pump and when I called to get a manual, they told me to go on utube and hunt for videos.Now I feel there must be manuals out there!

[@notsure7874]

I usually push my antenna wires behind the door gasket for cars that have a full window frame. Wedge it in there good and you'll forget it exists. I go along the top from the top rear corner, around to where I can stuff it under the dash and zip tie it. It's not perfect, but no holes, no having to leave windows cracked, no wires in the way of opening / closing doors or getting in and out...

I keep the radios in good working order tho. I just don't see the value of more CB radios. More Ham and gmrs sure....not CB. Maybe if there was a crisis and the grid went down, everyone will dust off their old CBs and get back on there air. good video, and it looks like a great radio.

[@seanwieland9763]

The Wouxun KG-UV980P can be expanded into 11-meter band (CB) as well. It only does FM, which used to be no-go for CB, but now the FCC is cool with FM on 11-meter band.

[@notsure7874]

I got an anytone 6666 that does AM/FM/SSB. I'ts marketed as a 10 meter, but it sucks for that because of how the channel banks are set up. It's a pretty solid 11 meter though.

Two Things... First, Leave it Wouxon, to be the first to bring to market an HT version of the new, FM CB radio. No doubt a more proper mobile unit, from them, is just around the corner. Second, My GMRS, Sensei, despite his despise for CB (mine too), took ample time to share his professional opinion, and product unveiling of this new FM version of extremely old radio comm., technology, which I started my radio hobby with, 50 years ago. (It's also the time when my current significant other was born, 05/72 🤫) Though I may never find myself owning an FM version of CB, I'll continue to follow, "you Sensei", my favorite radio mind, on future development and opinion, "hopefully brief", on this technology.👌😉

As I understand it, Wouxun included CTCSS/DCS so in my book, they are STILL first!

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

I'm curious as well. I've done a lot of road travel recently and had two different scanners in my vehicle. One was setup to scan only GMRS and the other CB channel 19. From Kansas City to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and back, more folks were talking on GMRS/FRS than CB and I'd usually only hear CB traffic around traffic jams and truck stops whereas GMRS/FRS had a lot of "convoy traffic" from folks traveling together in different vehicles. I think most truckers are either using IP-based cell phone apps or just not talking a lot on CB anymore what with satellite radio and podcasts to listen to now instead of just AM/FM radio. Some of them even got a ham license and use that or a DMR hotspot in their vehicle to chat with others on the road. So many different options now.

Id buy it for its size, but I have no interest in FM on CB. I've had FM on my export radios for a long time (I've been running them for about 40 years) and other than screwing around while freebanding, I've got no desire to be on FM for CB. At the very least 19 needs to stay AM. 36-40 have traditionally been used for SSB (but, as of late, it seems 16 gets used a lot for SSB). I would hope that they take a group of lower channels and relegate those to FM, and everybody can play together.

So being on to of a hill, could you talk to your friend, Chris, if there was nothing between you? In other words, how many fars could you talk in line of sight communications on FM mode? And are there any commercial antennas one could use on the Wouxun KGS72C that would increase the number of fars it could talks? CB can talks for many fars if is powerful enough and has the proper antenna and that it's elevated enough to account for the curvature of the Earth. This last aspect does not apply to flat earthers, who will be able to talk for many more many more fars than globe-tards (as flat earthers call us).
