Review: Nice little CB radio! - CB radios were very popular in the 70s. 1 in 10 cars had one! In the mid 90s there was some what of a come back that may have lasted for a couple of years. In 2013 there really are not that many CB radios out there. This is the reason I think some of the reviewers think their radio doesn't work, there is just nothing for them to pick up! This being said, CB radio is still alive and used. Truckers use them so you can always find out what the traffic is like, or where a speed trap is, and there are still people out there with base stations and mobile cbs providing for interesting conversation. Just not as many as 35 yrs ago. Having base stations, mobiles, and handhelds in the past I decided to re-enter the cb world with this Midland. It came nicely packaged with everything that is advertised. First I put batteries in it and listened in the house. Heard truckers on 19 plus found that on 20 there is a whole group of locals that talk on their radios nightly. This was just using the included antenna. Next I hooked it up to an old Firestik IBA5 Indoor Cb Base Antenna I had stored away, and I was picking up enough transmissions for the radio to be entertaining! Next day I drove around with the radio in my F150 with the stock antenna and batteries. Nothing. Not a single thing to be heard. Last night I put a magnet mount Midland 18-2442 Mobile CB Antenna on top of my truck, and used the unique cable accessory that came with the radio. You snap it on to the bottom of the radio where the battery pack goes, and you plug one connector into the cigarette lighter and the other to your antenna cable. The radio pack and this device slide off very easily and slide back on securely, so you can attach it to the radio or take it off in a few seconds. I ran the cable from the antenna through the door. Closing the door on it was just fine with no damage to the cable. Now for the big test! I drove 15 miles to work this morning during a major snow storm! The radio worked like a charm. I was picking up all the truckers (a lot of them) and getting reports of conditions around the whole area! The rechargable battery pack allows you to run the radio home off of your AC current, or if you prefer use the regular battery pack for normal batteries, or use the car device with your cigarette lighter. There are also jacks for a speaker and mike. So essentially you can use this radio as a base station, a mobile radio, or as a handheld! Small enough to just slip in your pocket. Also the sound, although not really loud, is vey clear and easy to understand. Radio also picks up the weather bands. I'm very happy with it. I haven't transmitted to anybody yet, but I can tell transmit works well by testing it with an old handheld I had. Distance would be measured by the type of antenna I use and how I tune it. Once I make a few contacts I'll get back here and let you know how far I got. I buy radios for fun and in the week I've had this I have had a lot of fun with it, and would recommend it if you want to have some fun with cb radio. Update: Yesterday I was in a higher area (in my pick up using the Midland 18-2442 antenna) talking to a base station 7 miles away! He said the radio sounded good! So after using it for a few weeks now, I'm very satisfied and really glad I bought it!
Review: Great radio...rechargeable battery pack issues solved. - I bought this radio for use on an upcoming road trip and will be continuing to test it over the next few days. Here are my initial findings. Good quality, versatile and works with 6 single use AA batteries and on 12 volt power point in my truck. Handheld antenna is limited as expected but good for short line of sight communication and weather. Obviously not for use indoors or in a vehicle. I will be testing this unit with a magnetic mobile antenna this week and report findings. ATTENTION: There is an issue with the rechargeable battery pack and some brands of batteries. I ordered desertcart Basics and they did not work even though they were charged. The battery charger also did not work, so I had to charge the batteries in a separate charger. Midland was kind enough to send me a replacement; however it too did not work. I spoke with Cheryl in Midland customer service and she advised that they are aware of the issue and are working hard to solve it, but they have discovered that 8 nimh AA Energizer brand batteries appear to always work. We had a good laugh, but I agreed to give them a try, and she is correct...battery pack and charger work just fine. She asked me to report my findings to her, which I will certainly do. In the meantime, I discovered the problem with other brands of batteries and have a fix. Here is what I did: 1. Open the rechargeable battery pack and set aside the half with the circuit board in it. 2. Orient the other half with the small silver contact square at bottom right. 3. Locate the raised divider rib between the top and second from top battery cradles. Follow it to the right where it turns upward (see "before" photo). 4. Note that the portion extending upward is between the the battery stops (lower stop for first battery and upper stop for second battery). 5. The portion of the vertical rib needs to be trimmed to be flush or nearly flush with the battery stops. I used an x-acto knife to trim it. 6. We are talking about less then a millimeter to trim. (See the "after" photo.) 7. I did this for each end of each rib. This allowed the desertcart battery (which is just a bit larger in diameter than the Energizer) to seat against the battery stop and not the raised rib section, which was preventing the positive terminal of the battery from touching the battery pack contact. After inserting the other 3 batteries, I tested the voltage between the small square silver contact at bottom right of of the case (+) and the (-) contact at top right of shell. My reading was 5.74 volts. I then reassembled the battery pack, installed it on the radio and it now works perfectly. I will report this manufacturing flaw to Midland in hopes the supplier can correct the issue.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So with the adapter, you can plug the radio into something and it will use your car antenna or some other antenna and get further range? How far?**
A: Your antenna is the most important aspect in getting good range on your CB.  For the beginner, your best bet is to buy the Midland 18-2442, Center Load Mag Mount Mobile CB Radio Antenna, available on Amazon for $19.99.  It works perfectly with the Midland 75-822 unit.  The magnetic base is strong enough to stay put until you remove it.  It should be centered on the roof of your car, or truck cab, to radiate the best signal.

**Q: There are many magnetic car mount antennas offered....can you suggest the cheapest yet most effective antenna to go with this unit?**
A: C.  -  I bought the Midland 18-2442 magnetic external antenna and was happy with it.  It has a very long coax tha will pretty easily reach anywhere on your car and into to the radio. It also extended the range over the included short antenna by a lot. I estimated about 1/4-1/2 mile range with small antenna, and 1-2 mile range with the external antenna. This was in hills of Arkansas.

**Q: are there handle bar mounts for the radio for motorcycle?**
A: The only one I've found was was from J@M model PACB-409-15.  And they have a high opinion of it.  I slightly modified an ARKON mount with the small pouch. I cut down the belt clip to fit in the bracket on dry days and use the pouch on wet days.

**Q: How far will these radios reach?**
A: The coverage range of CB radios on 27Mhz is almost entirely dependent on using a decent external antenna.  With only 4 watts output on a relatively long wavelength (11 meters) they really need a full-length, 102" tall, 1/4 wave whip antenna center mounted on top of a car or truck roof to achieve their very best mobile performance. That is not practical today, so most CB antennas today are physically shortened - which makes them more manageable, but less efficient.  As a general rule of thumb, taller antennas will work better in a mobile setting.

### ⭐ Review
*by K***W on November 21, 2013*

Item arrived at my post office and a surprising 18.00 bill for customs to pay. So I didn't accept it. Asked dealer in the states for more information on the cb and then found out it is AM band and 110v which is useless. This was not described on the advert on amazon. A lot of hassle and waited over a month for it to arrive. I could of rowed my boat over quicker. Very disappointed and will never buy from this dealer again.
