In this video we take a look at the Thunderpole TX handheld CB radio. We compare it to other handheld CB radios to see if its as good as the sales would suggest. This radio has been difficult to source frequently going out of stock and being on back order. It is certainly priced well but there are two other radios that look almost identical so we purchased them as well to compare.

We cover everything you need to know about this radio from general operation through to how to program it using a computer. There are some minor differences between the similar looking units which could be a deal breaker for some. So, grab a beverage of your choice, sit back and relax and enjoy.
