Any way here it goes - 1. Size is crazy, it is so small. It fits about anywhere. I have this in my LJ and I can put it anywhere. 2 Clarity crystal clear (for a CB) both TX and RX good. 3 features, I keep finding more, I guess I should have read the manual but it is pretty feature rich. Change color of display set different Em channels I rarely use 19 0r 9 for that matter so its a cool feature. 4. Internal Speaker, I rarely have a Top on my Jeep so the internal speaker is not quite enough. I use an amplified external speaker and it fixes the issue however when I am engine off and not moving the internal speaker is plenty loud. Overall Impression - I have had it for close to a year now and I highly recommend it, The size is AWESOME and it just works great. Remember with any CB the radio will only work as well as the Antenna. I do have a good quality Antenna and it is tuned to the radio. Review: Fantastic, super compact CB that works great - Great little CB! This is my first CB radio so I'm a rookie here, but from what I can tell this unit is fantastic. I researched CB's for days until I landed upon this one. All the others on the market are wayyy too big for what they are. I didn't want a huge box in my truck taking up unnecessary space. This little thing is the most compact unit I could find on the market, and it works great. Went on a weeklong 4x4 trip with a buddy and our comms worked perfectly the whole time. I'm using it with a 2ft firestik and while my swr readings are very high, the setup still worked great. The speaker is pretty loud for how small it is, and the only time it was tough to hear was when I had the windows down going 70 mph down the highway. Other than that it's perfectly loud. The day this unit fails me, I will order the exact same one. ## Features - 40 channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/down channel selector - Volume adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual squelch and ASC - Multi-functions LCD display; ANL filter, NB, HI-CUT, Scan, Beep Function, Roger Beep - Weather channel with Alert, Microphone Electret or Dynamic, Front microphone plug - Preset channel programmable, TOT (Time out timer), External loudspeaker jack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HFHFXYB | | Additional Features | Roger Beep | | Battery Average Life | 8 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #172 in Fixed-mount CB Radios | | Brand | President | | Built-In Media | power cord with fuse, 1 mounting bracket with fixing screws, Ultra light electret microphone with support | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | CB radio-compatible devices | | Connectivity Protocol | CB Radio | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (838) | | Frequency Range | CB radio: 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, Weather channels: 162.400 MHz - 162.550 MHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03435991327039 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9"D x 3"W x 7"H | | Manufacturer | President Electronics | | Mfr Part Number | TXUS001 | | Model Number | BILL | | Number of Channels | 40 | | Talking Range Maximum | 5 Miles | | Tuner Type | Analog | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Waterproof Rating | IP68 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** President - **Color:** Black - **Frequency Range:** CB radio: 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz, Weather channels: 162.400 MHz - 162.550 MHz - **Number of Channels:** 40 - **Product Dimensions:** 9"D x 3"W x 7"H - **Special Feature:** Roger Beep - **Talking Range Maximum:** 5 Miles - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Water Resistance Level:** Water Resistant ## Images ![President Electronics BILL CB Radio, 40 Channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/Down Channel Selector, Volume Adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual Squelch and ASC, Multi-functions LCD Display, S-meter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VPchJHq3L.jpg) ![President Electronics BILL CB Radio, 40 Channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/Down Channel Selector, Volume Adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual Squelch and ASC, Multi-functions LCD Display, S-meter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rlBUEfRFL.jpg) ![President Electronics BILL CB Radio, 40 Channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/Down Channel Selector, Volume Adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual Squelch and ASC, Multi-functions LCD Display, S-meter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cKqt+x8KL.jpg) ![President Electronics BILL CB Radio, 40 Channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/Down Channel Selector, Volume Adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual Squelch and ASC, Multi-functions LCD Display, S-meter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cEv6VJUcL.jpg) ![President Electronics BILL CB Radio, 40 Channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/Down Channel Selector, Volume Adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual Squelch and ASC, Multi-functions LCD Display, S-meter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DzJ4vV+4L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If I accidentally sit on the transmit button for an extended period of time is there an alarm that sounds or does transmission timeout?** A: This radio has a talk out timer of 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, it will stop transmitting until you let go of the PTT button. Its in the user manual. **Q: does it have a scan mode?** A: It does have a scan mode. There are a lot of good features in this radio but the radio is pretty bad. I have seen a lot of good reviews and made my decision based on them. I wish I would have gotten something different. Waste of 100 bucks if you ask me. **Q: If i want the president bill cb what all do i need that doesn’t come in the box? can i use a cigarette power adapter? what antenna? do i need an swr m** A: You will need any compatible CB Radio Antenna, ( The taller the better), if you want you can splice on an Optional Lighter plug to power it from an accessory outlet. An SWR meter is not required but will enable you to "fine tune" the antenna if used. **Q: Can I replace the mic on this CB?** A: Yes, it uses standard President wired mic. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wanted so badly to not like it. *by U***4 on January 24, 2021* I will be the first to admit I have always been a Cobra CB owner, I was looking for something very small and decided to try this President Bill out.

The day this unit fails me, I will order the exact same one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Little Giant that Reach's out and touches. *by E***J on March 29, 2021* This is a great little CB radio. I placed it in my side by side with a 5' fire stick on it, and my CB buddies say it has excellent transmission for such a small radio. For a small speaker, it is very good, clear and audible. I am placing one in my vehicle also. The mic is small and the only draw back is that it has two buttons on top of it that will change the channel if your not careful. That is fixed by holding down the "Roger/Key" button down on the lower left of the CB for a few seconds and a image of a "key" will appear on the screen to let you know you have turned the buttons off. This is a great radio for the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - President Electronics BILL CB Radio, 40 Channels AM, 12 Volts, USB 5V/2.1A, Up/Down Channel Selector, Volume Adjustment and ON/OFF, Manual Squelch and ASC, Multi-functions LCD Display, S-meter - President New Virginia - Magnetic Mount CB Radio Antenna with Adjustable Angled Whip, Easy to Install - RoadPro RPPS-220 Platinum Series 12V 3-Pin Plug Fused Replacement CB Power Cord, Black and Red --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/91388176-president-electronics-bill-cb-radio-40-channels-am-12-volts](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/91388176-president-electronics-bill-cb-radio-40-channels-am-12-volts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
