Midland - 75 40-Channel CB Radio - Black

I keep it plugged into my trk 90% of the time. Other than the light issue it works the same as any other cb no complaints. If u want to talk to your friend 30 miles away get a galaxy, but if u just wanna talk to the traffic within about 5 miles it works just fine and clear with a regular Wilson whip. On the boat it works even better. I can talk to the shore 16 miles across the bay crystal clear and there's no big box to move around or mount in place. I use the same unit for both my trk and boat and it can fit in my pocket.

needed a compact cb radio, did not want to mount it to my vehicel. meets requirement to comunicate with others while wheeling in various circumstances. can install antenae for extended range.

Yes! I talk to the People at Planet Pandora! We talk for at least 1/2 hour everyday! They say they will visit me in the near future, because Pandora is 30 light years away! We might meet in 800,000 thousand years But in the mean time I guess we just talk over with my Midland CB Radio! Thanks !!!!

I like this radio. I only wish I could get more channels to work.

I didn't want to buy a bulky regular CB that stayed in my 4Runner all the time when I only plan on using it when hitting the trails. This unit works perfect for what I need. I bought the magnetic mount antenna from Midland as well to help with the range.

Works great. But if you want to pick up more than just the weather channels I recommend you pick your self up a antenna. I purchased a wilson 300 watt lil-will and now my son can talk to people up to 10 miles away. It paid for it's self the first day driving from work. Truckers worning everyone about speed traps.

Called customer service to be sure that this could also be programmed to local fire ems and law enforcement and was Assured it had the capability...well IT DOES NOT!! We decided to keep it since i was also told there were no handheld scanners avaliable to exchange it for. very disappointed with customer service persons knowledge and will not purchase items agin without hands on proof it does what it is suppose to, not the Christmas gift i intended for my husband. Oh and just FYI there was one on display at the Mooresville Nc store and it was on doing exactly what I wanted but after inquriing was told it belonged to an associate and was no longer avaliable yet it had a price sticker......not good way to do business Again Very disappointed!!!

Batteries don't stay in place, night light a joke.
