Midland 1001Z 40-Channels Base CB Radio

It receives a signal and makes a great PA loud speaker! But it is a cheap radio and does a cheap job

My husband is in a hunting club and they talk to each other in the woods is the reason I purchased this item. I like the Midland products and the small size is great. I am impressed just how fast it arrived. Thank you so much.

The radio was a good value for the money. It is compact and has quality
at an affordable price. Best of all it is from Midland who has been selling
good radios for many years.

For a small size unit, it has a lot of features of the big boys. The packaging was solid, and not problems during shipping. I will buy from seller again.

i never got the radio n your company never gave back me my money. so i would like my money back or send me my radio that i bought from your company.

For a person who dosn't want or need a complex unit but wants to talk and be heard when he / she wants to be heard. This radio is not a cheap toy but is an inexpensive radio for those who need space saving, working, functionality !!!

i like the compact style with a huge punch of power,sleek design, i although dislike the placement of the mic plug, which pertrudes forward, it would be nice if implementation of the plug is bent to the side to reduce the pertrusion, which gets in the way. Otherwise im very content with the product

price and who it was made by.took some time to get it but nothing works like you would like.it bit the hell out of going to store.let your finger do the walking.great buy.

what i like abt it is that its a cb what i dont like is that it a low grade cb with problems with the range

This is a very simple minded radio. Installation is straight forward, the mounting bracket allows it to sling under the dash. The downward firing speaker is perfect for underdash or overhead installs. I just set mine vertical between seats in the console. It comes with plus and minus wire so it is not necessary to ground the unit. mine was used, so i clip the wires right before the fuse and ran to a cigar type plug that i got at Walmart which has the fuse built-in and the 2 wires for easy pigtail connection.

Operation is simple too. The squelch control worked to keep noise down, much better than i expected. There is a LED to indicate when you are speaking loud enough for modulation. Channel is selected by a twist knob. This is really a retro 1970's rig but that is exactly what i wanted.

Small, Compact and works well. I bought it for a Jeep I recently purchased and as we all know cell phones don't work everywhere especially off the beaten track. This cb will come in handy !

I like this radio for the compact size and the simple design for my wife to use. She didn't need alot of extra switches and nobs for extras , just the basic. This is an excellent radio. The only thing I don't like about the radio is that if you wire it to the fuse box to turn off with the key when you turn the key back on the radio resers to channel 9. You can wire it to a full time hot wire to hold the channel you like and just turn radio off seperately. which is another hassel. Thanks

If you need a radio that excels in the basics this will do!

Chanjammer is a great tech with lots of experience and sent it out with max potential.

I DECIDE TO BUY IT COUSE THE PRICE WAS GOOD, I DISLIKE THE PA PERFORMANCE OF IT, WAS TOLD IT HAD LOTS OF POWER TO DRIVE PA HORNS LOUD! FROM THE SELLER,IT'S NOT! I DONT USE IT, INSTED I GOT A POLICE UNIT FROM SIRENNET.COM.

item in perfect shape .

My husband wanted a cb radio for our anniversary. He picked this one out because of it being a name brand he was familiar with, and priced very reasonable. After looking at the sellers feedback score and the sellers money back guarantee, we felt comfortable with buying from this seller, we made our bid. We won the bid, it was shipped promplty. My husband was very please and it works exactly as described.

very fast, The friends are very fast and I thank to him to all. The new product and good conditions.

I bought the midland 1001Z for my kawasaki mule,it's a must to stay in contact with our fellow riders, as we ride the mountains and pretty steep slopes.
I picked the midland because of my past experiance with small radios, it's very crear as my friends tell me and because of it's size you can mount it almost anywhere, this is my second 1001Z, the first one i got wet washing the mule, "forgot about the radio" so now i use a plastic bag when raining or washing. thay are very tough for this kind of use,and good features such as external speaker jack and pa. for the money you can't beat it.

i did not buy this item i am not into cb radio 2 meter ham radio is my thing-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Made multiple purchases of this item from a very good dealer. Bought one for each of the truck/drivers in my fleet. Am considering geting another one for my car. We work a rural area that cell phone don't always cover.

The unit is small, compact, feature rich, and easy to install. Otherwise the quality leaves a bit to be desired. The mic feels good in your hand, not a small cheapy one. The knobs are VERY sensitive. Overall, if you are looking for an economical option to talk to your buddies while in road trips or camping this is the way to go. If you are seriously going to use a CB, then this is not for you!

Also, on buy.com this unit is $20 shipped.

I bought this item so my wife and I could communicate during a cross-country trip. The radio arrived as described. However, this is a low level radio with no bells or whistles. The price of this item (around $40.00) was the primary reason that I bought it. Since I was only going to use it occasionally, I didn't want to drop big bucks. If you are a serious CB'er you should look for a more high end model. If you will only use the radio once in awhile, then this is the radio for you.

The radio for the money is a good deal. I wish it had a scan feature, but other than that it has worked very well and performed as expected. It is just about the right size for my small SUV, and that is great, one I had prior was a monster and took up a lot of room. This one has the same features and takes up half the space.

While the Midland 1001Z is a great little CB, which I thought I was buying, I got hooked! What I got was a 23 channel Midland 13-882B which appearantly had not been used in about 20 years. The control knobs were seized with rust, totally inoperable! Despite my efforts this issue is still unresolved, I filed complaints with eBay and Paypal with no result. The item sold for $3.00, but with $17.00 shipping charge. The Seller says if I ship it back (another $17.00) she will refund the purchase price ($3.00).

Now I am not a mathmetician, but somehow paying $ 34.00 to collect a $3.00 refund just does not seem appropriate. My position is that it was false, misleading and deceptive posting that lead to the transaction. It is my position that a refund of the purchase price *AND* the $ 34.00 in shipping costs should be paid by this fraudulent Seller.

This issue has gone on for over a month now, and both eBay and PayPal aooear to be doing absolutely nothing to rectify the situation.

To make matters worse: the Seller has posted negative feedback stating she offered a refund, but only if I ship the item back to her.

Remember, no matter how good the feedback of a Seller is you can still get burned!!!
