The Radioddity CB-5000 is a versatile all-mode CB radio designed for truckers, off-road enthusiasts, and radio operators who need dependable communication on the road. Supporting AM, FM, SSB, CW, and PA modes, it delivers flexible operation for everyday driving, long-distance communication, and emergency use. Built with a durable aluminum chassis and native 12V/24V DC compatibility, the CB-5000 installs directly in passenger vehicles, off-road rigs, and commercial trucks without requiring an external voltage converter. The bright TFT color display provides clear visibility day or night, making channel information and radio settings easy to read in changing lighting conditions. Advanced TX and RX noise reduction helps minimize engine, road, and wind noise for clearer communication, while up to 12W SSB output supports extended-range contacts when conditions allow. Whether you're crossing the country, exploring remote trails, or staying connected during emergencies, the CB-5000 delivers reliable performance wherever the road leads. CTCSS/DCS Privacy Codes: Helps filter unwanted transmissions and reduce channel interference for clearer group communication during team or convoy use. 12V/24V Dual Voltage: Connects directly to 12V off-roaders or 24V heavy-duty commercial trucks. No expensive voltage converters or extra wiring required. Smart SWR Protection: Automatically detects antenna health and alerts you when SWR is high, helping prevent damage to the transmitter and maintain stable operation. Universal Mic Compatibility: Includes an RJ45 to 4-pin microphone adapter cable for direct connection with 4-pin microphones, allowing flexible microphone upgrades. Specifications： Modulation Modes: AM / FM / USB / LSB / CW / PA Frequency Range: 26.965–27.405 MHz (CB Band) Input Voltage: 12V / 24V DC RF Power Output: • AM/FM/CW: 4W • SSB (USB/LSB): 12W PEP Display: High-Contrast TFT Color Display Backlight: 5-Level Brightness Adjustment Protection Features: Adjustable SWR Warning and Voltage Protection Microphone Interface: RJ45 Connector with 4-Pin Microphone Compatibility (Cable Included) Dimensions: 4.9 × 6.4 × 1.5 in / 124 × 163 × 39 mm Weight: 23.5 oz / 668 g QA: Q: Why does the screen still show the time and date when the radio is turned off? Will it drain my vehicle battery? A: The clock display is enabled by default. You can disable it in the menu settings, allowing the screen to turn off completely when the radio is powered down. Q: Why would I use SSB instead of AM? A: SSB uses power more efficiently than AM, allowing for improved range and clearer long-distance communication. It's a popular choice for DX contacts when propagation conditions are favorable. Q: What NRC (Noise Reduction Circuit) setting is recommended? A: NRC Level 3 is generally recommended, as it helps reduce background noise while maintaining natural-sounding audio. Q: Do I need a special cable to program this radio from a computer? A: No. The radio includes a USB-to-8-pin programming adapter, allowing you to connect directly to a Windows PC for programming and configuration.
