Midland 75-785 Handheld CB Radio

Used this radio one time on my motorcycle. It rained that day and the radio quit working

I bought this for very occasional use when my fellow MG sports car club memebers are travelling together through the rural countryside, and one of us gets separated or has a mechanical problem. I didn't feel the use justified a significant investment, including having to buy an antennae that would require additional expense and be a hassle to install.

This CB worked fine using the cigarette lighter plug in, thus eliminating the need to buy 9 AAA batteries. (If I'd known that requirement, I probably would not have bought this unit--but as I said, it works without them--at least for me!)

More convient than mounted cb. the recharge it will do with batteries is very convient.

This unit works well in open areas. But if you are inside a car or house, it won't transmit effectively.

they look great but our two way GMRS radios get better range then the cbs
