    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.

    I e wanted one of these for a while. I’m sure happy happy I picked one up. It works very nicely and has 40 channels high and low. I love the dual watch feature. I love that you get the car kit with it, the battery pack for regular alkaline batteries and the after that you can put the battery pack for rechargeable batteries in and charge it while hooked up. But as you know batteries are not included. It’s a very versatile CB radio. You get a lot for your money. I paired this with the Cobra HGA 1500 Cb antenna. It works awesome together. Gets long range too and is very clear. If I had to pick one thing I didn’t like about the Midland 75-822 is the scan channel mode. It doesn’t scan as fast as I would like but other then that I love it.

    Good handheld CB. Works well, especially handy that it has one battery case for rechargeables, and another for alkaline batteries ( takes 1 more rechargeable than alkaline due to lower voltage).

    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.

    This is a neat little rig. You can take it wherever you go. I tried it out at home and it picked up. There was not much traffic but I did hear some. I also bought a portable antenna to be sure I get good reception in my truck or RV.

    I bought this to use in emergency or when traveling in areas with no cell service. This has nice features including the ability to use full size antenna. It is small enough to pack in my car or ATV.

    This is a good radio with decent range if you get an external antenna, rubber ducky antenna receives pretty well but transmission is weak, which is usually the case with a handheld radio. Everything you need is here including the AC power plug if you want to use it in the car, very good price for a quality handheld radio.

    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!!!
