portable cb
the midland 75-822 works quite well for me. I go into the hills on logging roads and have to know what the loggers are doing. Works great. with a quick disconnect I can be walking in the woods |

Nice!
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
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
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.
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. |
