- 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.

- Decent unit for the price
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.

- Ineffective
I should have listened to everyone else reviewing this product. Handhelds, including this one, are pretty useless without an external antenna. Perhaps it was defective, but this one wouldn't even pick up a broadcast 50' in front of my truck. Nonetheless, this would be a great value if it worked. It includes a cigarette lighter adapter and two battery compartments.

- Neat Portable CB!
This handheld CB is quite nice and certainly performs as advertised. The unit comes with everything needed to use with either batteries (easily replaceable batteries) or plug in to your vehicle. Within the proper range (which with the included antennae is probably about 1 mile) volume and clarity of communications are outstanding.

The only reason that it only got 4 stars is to make sure those getting it realize it is not the same as a "non-handheld" CB radio. It is a great portable or back up unit, but it simply shouldn't be expected to have the range of a "mounted" CB. Some vehicles may also not some low grade engine noise feedback through the unit. This may go away when "plugged in". Also note that with a quick connection to a taller / external antennae, range also will improve.

All in all, exactly what I paid for and am pleased with the purchase!
