Just ordered mine, hope its a talker. I have to give ranger props on this one because, looking at all of the controls, they are what is needed and what is very useful. No dumb echo, colorful lights etc. They still put a talkback in it, yuk! If they put the tone control on that pot, the mode switch on the talkback control then something else on the mode switch, it would be perfect in my eyes for a cb with useful functions. But hey, 9 outa 10 aint bad. Hell, at least they put an on off switch on the talkback this time, yaaaay. Pshh lol
