Connex CX-46TurboN1 AM/FM 10 Meter Radio

More information

The Connex CX46 Turbo N1 is a high-performance 10-meter amateur radio designed for enthusiasts who require significant signal reach and clear communication. It is essentially a modernized, high-power version of the classic Connex 3300, delivering roughly five times the power of its predecessor.

Key Features and Performance

This radio is built for power and ease of use, making it a popular choice for mobile installations in trucks or as a base station.

  • Exceptional Power Output: It delivers over 200 watts of peak power (often reaching 250+ watts after professional tuning), ensuring your signal remains strong over long distances.

  • Audio Enhancements: Includes a built-in echo board with dual controls for volume and delay, along with a switchable talkback feature to monitor your own audio.

  • Operating Modes: Supports both AM and FM modes across six frequency bands (28.000MHz – 29.700MHz).

  • User Interface: Features a classic layout with blue LED channel and meter lighting, a front-mounted 4-pin microphone jack, and a variable RF power control.

  • Heavy-Duty Build: Designed with a bottom-facing heatsink and a 2-pin heavy-duty power connection to handle the high current draw (typically 25–45 Amps).

The item most overlooked when ordering a custom radio is the microphone.  Your new radio will NOT sound great with a stock mic on it even if you have it tuned.  If your CB is more than a tool for work, you NEED to upgrade your microphone.
