Pros:

Nice mobile CB
|
|
Cons:

Works very well and a great value for the purchase price. The fact that this radio can be a handheld or a mobile radio and that it comes with a 12-volt cigarette lighter plug, a PL-259 external antenna connector, a portable antenna, a battery box for using six "AA' batteries, and an AC adapter made the system very versatile. The NOAA weather band capabilities only added to this versatility My only complaint is that the radio could use more volume output as it is sometimes hard to hear when used in a vehicle.

A neat little package

I was pleasantly surprised with the compact size of this radio. It is a versatile little item: full-power 40 channels of CB, 10 NOAA channels (not available with all CB brands, but Midland seemed to recognize the importance of this feature), and an included adapter that turns the unit into a mobile. Be careful when you compare; this adapter isn't always included and could cost $20+. Also note it's range as a portable is limited, but then again, that's the nature of the portable CB beast.

This is a very compact, well designed, and versatile unit that can be easily moved from one vehicle to another or used as a handi-talkie. The number of useful features and sensitivity of the receiver pleasantly surprised me. With an external antenna, I found the NOAA weather band usable with broadcasts 50 miles distant and the CB effective at five miles. Adjacent channel selectivity is quite good. Perhaps the only limitation in this unit is the relatively low audio output that might require near maximum volume when the windows are open at highway speeds. But, audio quality is very good with no distortion even at maximum volume.

Great unit for a Jeep

I would highly recommend the 75-822 for a Jeep owner. I recently took mine on a Jeep Jamboree and it worked perfectly. It is very small and light. It can be used as a handheld unit but can quickly be connected to your vehicle CB antenna for better reception and work off the vehicle battery. It is similar to the Cobra 75 WX ST but has the advantage that you can take it with you as a handheld when on foot hiking. Reception and transmission was excellent. In a Jeep with a soft top it is nice because you can quickly disconnect it and lock in the glove compartment.

Great Little Unit

This is a great little CB radio. It's ability to be used in the car/truck with an external antenna, easily hooked up and moved from car to car. OR it can be used as a portable hand held unit. Which is nice if you're a truck driver, backing up and someone is guiding you in the dock, you can hear them over your main CB in the cab.
A lot of thought went into this unit. The weather channels, the seperate battery packs. One for rechargeables, and another for regular batteries.
Just plug it in to recharge.
The quality makes this a solid little unit.

I have bought 3 of these radios before and adapted them to various motorcycle applications. BMW used to sell this unit on their high end K12LT as part of a communications package. Great Radio and works very well. I now bought my 4th one just to have because its cool. Great Value

I bought the Midland CB mostly to use when I go on trips with my motorcycle. The other bikers have built-in CB on their consoles. Twelve motorcycles went on the Deal's Gap trip, 318 curves in 11 miles and several of the Goldwing owners commented on how clear and strong my CB radio came in versus some of the more expensive ones had weak signals and were breaking up. I made a homemade mount for the radio belt clip to connect to, put an antenna on the trunk with Velcro and the Midland hand-held worked perfect from West Virginia to Tennessee and back. I had not used a CB since the 1980s when I had a Midland unit in my 1973 Volkswagen Beetle. I have always liked the Midland radios.

Great little package, you wont get much distance off of the rubber duck antenna, but that is to be expected but it is still a nice feature to be able to go on foot if needed, works extremely well with a magnetic mounted antenna on the roof of my truck.

I've been using one of these little power houses for several years now. With the "right" tech it can be modded for extra channels and can put out as much as 18W. It also has a built in Freq. counter helpful with the extra channels.
