 Nice! June 26, 2008
Small and easy to use. You will need an antena if you really want to take advantage of this unit, the one that comes included has a very, and I mean VERY small range. Easy to extend to 120 ch., you can actually do it yourself, just google it.
 static, missing part April 26, 2008
Overall this product was ok. There was alot of static and I had to turn the Squelch up so much I missed conversation. Also, the rechargeable battery pack had a piece missing. The controls on the reciever were ok, they could have been backlit for night time driving. And the lcd screen should have the option to stay lit all of the time.
Midland 75-822 CB March 1, 2008
Works well if you can see the person or truck your talking with. The car adapter makes a lound screaching sound that the person you are talking to only can here, so it sucks! In my opinion I would try the Cobra before this one
Good to find a CB 40 channel handheld with this many features that doesn't feel like a brick. February 23, 2008
Nice radio with many features. This CB has OK performance as a handheld, (as most handheld CBs do) but is much better when used with an external antenna. I reccommend the portable magnetic mount type. It can be moved between vehicles with ease. I know GMRS / FRS handhelds have more range, but CB has made life easier on the road when I can get the attention of a semi to let me squeeze into a slow/busy onramp. Also great for traffic updates on the spot. If you do alot of road trips or family travel, this radio along with a good radar detector makes long trips much easier. MG.
Decent unit for the price January 20, 2008
Unit is compact and easily portable. Fit and finish is good. I recommend you find the button to activate the backlight at a point in time when you HAVE light to see in. It's hard to find in the dark for the first time if you don't know where it is, but once located it is fine. Unit seems to work about as well when plugged in as when on battery power. I've not tested how long the batteries last. I can verify they work for at least twenty minutes with no noticeable loss of performance, but they may well go days. I do recommend an additional external antennae. The range is useable but limited with only the unit's antennae. If you were to be using this in a convoy and only wanted occasional weather updates as you went through populated areas you'd have no trouble, but chatting with traffic going the other way must be done within short time frames as they will pass out of range somewhat quickly, and the weather radio signal can't be received too far from town. Again, the external antennae isn't absolutely necessary, but it is an upgrade in both performance and convenience. All in all, I am very happy with my unit.
