A completely new design from a new name to UK CB, the tti TCB770 is a highly featured mobile CB which offers all the facilities you are likely to want mobile in a compact radio at a hard to beat price.
Competing with radios such as the Midland 78 and Danita 3000, this radio has all the usual features you need plus many extras that you may never use - click on the "more details" button to get full details.
Like most of the new radios being introduced, the TCB-770 is a "multi-standard" radio. This means that it is designed for use in most EU countries and you can select what country you are going to use it in, the radio then automatically operates on the legal bands for that country.
This means that in countries that allow AM/FM operation, the radio will even work on AM!
The radio offers all the features you are likely to ask for yet remains simple to operate and quite compact. There are the usual volume, squelch, mic gain, and RF gain controls. The channel change is a rotary control, but there are also push buttons for up/down channel change on the microphone.
The multifunction LCD display shows channel number, band (country) and 9 segment bargraph display for signal strength. It is backlit with a blue light, which can be set to 3 levels using a "hidden" menu facility.
The microphone is a decent size and had a good feel to it. There are up/down channel change buttons on the top of the mic, plus a "lock" button to lock the channel change on both the mic and the radio.
The scanning facility on this radio is more sophisticated than on most CB's in that both "pause time" and "delay time" can be adjusted by the user (from 1-99 seconds for either).
Overall the radio offers a lot of features for your money and performance is on par with any other radio currently available.
