Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Customer Reviews

Uniden PC 78 Elite
I have used CB'S for over twenty years, This one is the best I have used in that time. I might add that for me it is the "fanciest" one I have ever bought. I do find the weather channel to be useful as I commute across the country. The ergonomic mike is a pleasure to use, I expect to see copycats on the market soon. You could spend a lot more for a CB and not get any better performance.

Uniden 78/Cobra 29 review
This product seems to be built well and Uniden is a good brand in CB radio.

Pros:
* Included ergonomic mic is noise-canceling (cuts out your stereo noise, wind noise, etc.)
* Weather bands are nice and work anywhere
* Wire this straight to your battery and it is nearly static-free on the highway. Very clean receive on this unit.
* PA output is louder than other radios I've tried
* Antenna warning light should keep you from keying up and frying your radio if your antenna system has failed

Cons:
* Have not found anything major yet

Notes:
* DSC is only good for very close transmissions. Leave it off if you wish to hear signals past 1/2 mile
* Delta Tune doesn't really do much so don't waste your time trying to adjust it
* This unit is basically the same as the Cobra 29 on the inside
