Product Description:
Midland is a world leader in wireless two-way and weather/hazard alert radios, with an extensive line of land mobile radios, CB, GMRS and FRS radios, new (license-free) MURS radios, weather-monitor alert radios, itinerant radios and a line of quality antennas and accessories.

Amazon.com Review:
Having a CB radio while traveling can be an invaluable tool for emergencies and for keeping up on road conditions, and the Midland 75-820 40-channel handheld CB is one you should definitely consider. It comes with everything you need to get started in a hurry, including a battery pack for times you want to run the unit on six AA batteries and a cigarette lighter adapter for battery-free operation in your car.

The Midland 75-820's design is ideal, with a push-to-talk button on the side, squelch and volume knobs, and a small LCD screen that displays the current channel, signal strength, and a variety of other useful information. Several buttons on the device can be used for scanning, whether quickly flipping between the emergency channel (9) and the standard highway channel (19) or activating the LCD's backlight. The unit also comes with a short, flexible antenna.

Overall, the 75-820's portability is excellent--comparable to a child's walkie-talkie. Unfortunately, the unit's compactness hampers its usefulness, because the relatively small antenna has a hard time pulling in distant signals. In our tests on local highways and on the interstate, transmissions rarely could be heard from more than half a mile away. However, when we connected the Midland 75-822 to a whip antenna that was several feet long, the range increased considerably. As a result, we recommend investing in a better antenna before using the device in your car, although the radio still works well for communicating with nearby semis when you're trying to find out the source of a traffic jam.

We had better luck using the radio to monitor National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio broadcasts, which we were able to receive from nearly anywhere since Weather Radio stations transmit at much higher power than mobile transmitters. These broadcasts are repeated every few minutes, are updated every few hours, and can help alert travelers to severe weather conditions. It's a nice feature to have on a portable CB and makes the Midland 75-822 a standout choice for travelers who want to be in the know. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Truly portable
Car adapter kit included
Ability to monitor Weather Radio is a nice touch

Cons:

Short antenna dramatically cuts down on range

This radio is tops. It provides the convenience of use as a walkie or use as a mobile unit.

Not what I was hoping for. Hooked it up to a whip antenna and took it on a trip to Tennessee following some friends. I know that tuning the antenna helps, but we had it working for about 3 city blocks with that antenna before we left and 0 blocks with the antenna that came on the CB. By the time I got out of town, I could haedly pick up my friends from 100 ft. Really disappointed in this as a Midland product. Would not recommend it to anyone serious about having good communications.

- Nice package and features
This is a nice package.
Alkaline and rechargeable battery packs are included, along with the charger. Rechargeable batteries are NOT included.
The radio has a lot of features (scan, weather, dual watch ...).
As a walkie talkie with the included rubber duckie antenna, range is pretty limited (as expected). If you buy a Cobra HA-TA Hand-Held CB Antenna, it will almost double the range.
I have not used the radio with the car adaptor yet. I expect the radio will perform a lot ... Read More

- 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.
