Cobra HH ROAD TRIP Compact Handheld CB Radio

The Cobra HH Road Trip was perfect for our use. We specifically purchased it for a road trip with our Corvette Club. Even though the magnetic antenna didn't adhere to the fiberglass body of the car, the standard antenna worked well as long the range was relatively small. Our nineteen car "convoy" stayed in contact and the reception was clear. The hand held unit was easy to use and didn't eat the batteries.

This is a great handheld for short distance use. It works well in convoys or groups when used with the base antenna. I would not recommend it trying to transmit over a long distance. Excellent emergency unit.

I got stuck on the freeway, for seven hours, one winter. If I had had this CB I would have known to get off and take a side road and not get stuck with all the rest of the traffic. Takes 9 AA batteries. Good price.

DOA (Dead on Arrival). Difficult to issue an opinion if the device will not move off channel 1. It's worthless.

This is not a good cb the engine noise sucks and I can only hear one side of a conversation and only if that is the next block over. However I did try a better antenna and it worked a little better still only one sided I think it's only good for the wifes car if she is following you someplace with no cell service.
