"Q" codes actually started in the early 1900s for the CW radio ops in the maritime service, then gradually made its way into amateur radio and other services.

I was going to post the same thing. It was maritime radio thing long before CB ever became a “thing.”

Seems to be that President CB radios are #1 rated now. Back in the day Cobra was the top CB radio brand to get.

It's funny that a radio line that has many American Presidents as model names is from a company in Minsk Belarus! I would never buy one.

Just wait for the new wave of radios to come out since FM got FCC approval on CB band. Cobra initiated this and President will go for it too..

I prefer using Q codes over 10 codes as it just sounds more professional....... Saying 10-4 sounds silly while saying QSL sounds neat!!
I will wait for this before I buy a new CB/SSB radio to happen.
