Great unit for a good price delivered in one day.

I used to always buy the traditional communications radios from longtime brand names and never considered Uniden due to bad experiences with their portable house phones. Bought my son a Uniden CB for his truck and was very impressed with the reliability and quality. I needed another VHF radio for my boat so i went Uniden and WOW what a great unit for the price.
