Midland 75-785 Handheld CB Radio

Radio picks up too much electrical interference to be used in my vehicle. When I plug in the 12 volt charger, the interference is even worse! I have yet to sucessfully transmit to anyone and I hardly ever hear anyone talking.

i bought this cb a couple of weeks back and i have zero complants about it. It was just as described and arrived very quickly. thank you very much.

I bought it because I wanted a CB not hardwired to the car to have something portable. I have yet to hear conversation. It seems CB's are getting a bit outdated nowadays though I still feel they are great when everything else brakes down like cell phones during 9/11 and hurricane katrina. Anything like this can cause a lot of outages to cell phone internet etc etc if they are nature based or terror activities and in emergencies such as these it is important to have another means of communication. As long as one has the right batteries and they are fresh and some to spare for back up CB's and Family Radios - Walky Talkies are good to have to stay in touch. I have not yet fully tested this Midland 75-785 Handheld CB Radio and will take it to the highway sometime soon to see if I get a response.

Needed something for motorcycle rides that would work with headphones. Stays quiet sound is good quality but weak and needs full volume. Better range that factory installed radio.
