If there is a truly portable CB handheld with SSB . . is RX any good? What of TX?
IOW, the objection to a portable not being SSB-capable may not be relevant.
Not meaning to be argumentative, but the Randy advantage is that one is not tied to vehicle or building.
— The Randy is pretty well always the second radio of a given radio system. Where another radio already exists in use.
— The Randy is both adjunct and backup.
When Randy is fly’n drive...
The Randy seems ideal where the ability to move away from a vehicle or building installed radio is desired.
No change to another type of radio is needed.
SimonTheWizard shows a range of optional gear for the Randy. Including an desk stand charger.
Ready to roll down the porch steps into the night with Randy, Ruger, and Rover.

Bought one of these mics last week because in the back of my head I recalled a smart guy had a good use for one.
I don’t have a need for it this day, but, tomorrow is another day.

The expense is in the two (2) installations, mobile and base.
— May as well extend something of the same to church or community or common family buildings. Third (#3) system.
Plug in any radio
But the Randy & Johnny go to one man or family to keep operational similarity highest (with a...
Comparable pair besides portability of Randy?
As a pair where other gear & systems work best for one condition?
— Tune up close to one another?
— Run a KL-203?
— Other?
Granted, FCC versions are AM-only.
1). Xtra small size + President quality
2). Plug into vehicle or base systems...
There’s CB . . . and then there appear to be fringes (radio-wise) where use starts to gravitate.
Maybe doesn’t quite land (except changing groups across changing locales). With an exception for Canuckistan.
So,
