Description
The SIERRA BLAZE plus has the same IP66+ rating (puddle proof) as the SIERRA BLAZE but with Menu access via one of the side keys. The plus version is aimed at the more advanced radio operator, allowing access to functions like CTCSS/DCS, Adjustable Squelch, VOX, Power, Scan Add or Delete, Voice Announce Off/On, Roger Beep, Key Beep, Key Lock Mode and Scrambler*.
Wanted a full power 5W UHF Handheld CB, but didn’t want to spend too much – but wanted something better than the cheapest CB brands available here, that also tend to look a bit plasticky? Didn’t want a 1-2W toy either. The SIERRA models may well be for you.

Special mention:
Channel Lock – quick press side key 2 to lock or unlock Channel Control and other Key Functions.
Menu – press and hold side key 2 until the radio announces ‘Menu’. Rotating the Channel Control allows function selection.
Channel Scan – quick press side key 3 to scan all CB channels (default), which then prioritises the last active scan channel in the scan sequence, so you don’t miss anything on that last channel. Menu access will allow you to add or remove channels from the scan list.
Voltage Indicator – press and hold side key 3 until you see and hear the voltage state of the radio expressed as a percentage.
Bright and Clear Screen – channel number will show on the Display Screen for 10 seconds, before the screen goes blank to conserve battery power. Display will show again if channel is changed or key functions activated. Top key can also be used to turn on or off the display. This does not apply when the scan function is running.
Voice Announce – tells you what the radio is doing when changing the channel or using key functions. Very handy when you can’t see the screen or are vision impaired. This can be turned off or on in the menu.
Receiver sensitivity: <0.20uV @ 12dB SINAD (-120dBm). In layman’s terms that means really good, better than standard.
What grabs most peoples attention when they first get the SIERRA Radio is how solid the radios feels in their hands and the build quality. The SIERRA Radio are supported by a full length Aluminium Chassis.
^The SIERRA is also type approved to the Land Mobile Service (licensed private or commercial frequencies) covering 403-480Mhz, which means it has to be held to a higher technical standard than the average CB.
