i have used and own a george
similar opinion to richard, for a cb they are ok
great heatsink
decent power
better constructed than most of the new surface mount cb's i have seen
nice large display
novel lighting scheme
decent sounding when aligned correctly
rodger beep ( i hate em but if i had to use one it would be the george beep its half the frequency of beeps in other radios and is much easier on the ears )
dislikes
the terrible echo
the stupid code entry if vcc is disconnected
this one has a blown cpu from an american trying to wire a turner +3 to it and shunting voltage straight into the up/dwn scan pin :roll:

Mine has a good recieve on AM/SSB but on FM my 2950DX 2995DX beats it on the finish line. The George is kind of light in the tone RX but when i use the HiCut function its more comfortable and not so noisy.
When i run a dummy load the integrated swr meter reads 1.5 at 4w and 2.0 at 15w, not to trust.
I find it to be ok for local talking and easy to use but when i try to get ahold of you over there wintertime i trust my RCI 2995 DX powered by a 40 amp external powersupply and all the essensial nobs turned clockwise
