    I liked this unit 75*40 but I returned it and got the 3 pack Midland 30 miles 30 channel radio because it was cheaper and comes in 3 pack it also has a weather channel and the communication range is much better than the 75 40

    Very poor reception. I could receive but no one could hear me on channel #8. Reception wasn't much better even after connecting a magnetic car antenna. Occasionally someone would break squelch on other channels but they were unreadable. Weather info was available on some of the weather channels.

    I Love My New CB Radio!

    Let me cut to the Chase. This is an Excellent Radio, the reception is awesome, and much to my surprise, soooo many folks in my area are on-air, I was so happy to see that, Now I know this Radio will be getting a lot of use !! This radio is worth every penny, very sturdy and easy to use. I also love the built-in weather station (NOAA) !! One thing I never really like about installing a radio in my vehicles is running wires to the battery, with the 75-822 you only Plug your mobile adapter into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter plug, how cool this that!? Two Thumbs Waaay Up for Midland :-)

    Great little handheld CB

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had my Midland 75-40 handheld for 10+ years. I have used it primarily for hunting while away from my truck's CB radio. I have owned several CB and FRS handheld radios. The Midland has been my favorite and I have gotten a lot of use out of it. Using regular AA batteries, the battery life has been great. Realizing the limitations of a handheld with a short antenna, it has received and transmitted as well or better as any others I have had. No handheld if going to transmit as far as a vehicle installed CB radio, but for a handheld CB, it works great.

    Great radio.

    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.

    Product does everything we wanted it to do - portable, with the ability to connect to a vehicle CB hookup. Particularly liked the size and ease of operation with only one hand.
