Only minor issue is placement and type of gain control being under the base is a pain so is sort of set and forget...thank you for a great product...great price and excellent delivery. ## Frequently Bought Together - Astatic 302-AST878DM CB Desk Microphone, Black, Auxiliary - Galaxy DX-2547 AM/SSB CB Base Station w/ Freq Counter, Talkback & Roger Beep - Lightning ARRESTOR for CB or Ham Base Antennas - Workman A28 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/234824101-astatic-302-ast878dm-cb-desk-microphone-black-auxiliary](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/234824101-astatic-302-ast878dm-cb-desk-microphone-black-auxiliary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
