I didn’t expect much from the Retevis MB1 — a budget CB radio with no box, a busted rep, and a cigarette lighter plug… but here we are.
In this video:
• Diagnose and power up the MB1 using an off-grid battery station
• Test both AM and FM transmission power output
• Dive deep into the menu system, tones, VOX, mic gain, roger beeps, and color themes
• Verify microphone function, squelch, and more
• Cross-test transmit and receive with the Xeigu X6100 modded for full band use
💥 Spoiler: this thing has way more features than I expected, including repeater tones and selectable mic types!
