Midland 75-785 Handheld CB Radio

To me this radio works better than the small two way radios, thats why I bought it. Yes it's a little bigger than the 2 way radios, but what I really wanted was more clearly transmission and a longer range which is what I got.

This is an excellent handheld CB for the money. It is perfect for taking on road trips. Having a CB along when travelling on interstates is very nice. You can hear the truckers chat about what is going on in front and behind you. It is a great way to keep aware of the road conditions. This radio comes with a cigarrette lighter adapter so it is real easy to just take it in whatever car you want and not have to worry about batteries. a cb is a must for any vehicle and this one is so affordable that you should not pass it up. Another really cool thing is that it will fit perfectly in a cup holder!

First of all, to the guy who was complaining about the talk range, you should've looked into how the C.B. frequency quality is in the area in which you live.

Second, to the man who who was complaining about not recieving his radios yet, if you ordered your radios on a Sunday, for some reason, it will usually just take forever get them. Blame that on the state of most postal service these days. It seems like only a handful of these delivery services (not amazon, an outside company handles the actual shipping of the products) can come through on their promises. It just isn't possible to get good service these days if you don't feel like dishing out an extra $10-20, plus the tax and overall price.
Don't get mad at Amazon, chances are somebody probably stole your package. I used to live in a townhome complex, and it happens all of the time. People should really take their heads out of the ground and get Neighborhood Watch going again, those "WE ARE WATCHINTG" signs alone just don't cut it anymore.

Ordered this item 6 days ago from Amazon, and it still has not been shipped. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, how can it arrive tomorrow when it has not been shipped yet? I wonder how they stay in business with service like this. I could have spent an extra fifteen dollars and bought the item locally, and I would be using it right now. Guess the old proverb is right, if it looks too good to be true than it probably is.

I've bought 2 of these. Outdoor reception is great. Sound clarity is better than the FRS radios a friend has. The only drawback has been poor reception from inside a vehical. They do have the standard jack for an external antenna which can be picked up for around $20. Mag mount to your car and reception is great.
