This CB has earned Midland my respect. If you want a good radio that you can clip to your belt then plug into your car, this is for you. from Amazon.com I purchased this item for two reasons, road trips and communicating while off-road. It is my first CB transceiver and although I do not have anything to compare it to I am thoroughly impressed. from Amazon.com I'd recommend it. Burlington MIDLAND 75-822 40 Channel 2 Way Radio from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com My only real complaint is that the modulation (transmitted audio) is low and a bit muffled. The weather radio works well. The radio can be easily (although illegally) modified for 120 channels AM, 80 channels with an AM / FM mix or some kind of UK mod that wasn't described. Info is available by searching the web. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com If you don't get the external antenna for your car, then you will be very diappointed. Get a K40 or radio shack brand antenna they are the best. You can get over 15 miles with the K40 and this midland radio, if you tune the antenna. You will not be disappointed with this radio. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com I Ordered the Midland Handheld CB radio and received it 24 hrs later. As others have said, its a nice handheld CB but is useless without an external antenna. from Amazon.com Consequently, I frequently hit the channel key when trying to hold down the mic. Also inconvenient is the belt hanger - not the regular circular knob for a standard hanger that you find on a standard CB mic, which necessitated a homemade hanger! I got too frustrated with they key issue and broke down and bought a regular compact Midland instead. from Amazon.com
