MIDLAND 75-822 40 Channel 2 Way Radio

Having a CB radio while traveling can be an invaluable tool for emergencies and for keeping up on road conditions and the Midland 75-820 40-channel handheld CB is one you should definitely consider. It comes with everything you need to get started in a hurry including a battery pack for times you want to run the unit on six AA batteries and a cigarette lighter adapter for battery-free operation in your car.

The Midland 75-820's design is ideal with a push-to-talk button on the side squelch and volume knobs and a small LCD screen that displays the current channel signal strength and a variety of other useful information. Several buttons on the device can be used for scanning whether quickly flipping between the emergency channel (9) and the standard highway channel (19) or activating the LCD's backlight. The unit also comes with a short flexible antenna.

Overall the 75-820's portability is excellent--comparable to a child's walkie-talkie. Unfortunately the unit's compactness hampers its usefulness because the relatively small antenna has a hard time pulling in distant signals. In our tests on local highways and on the interstate transmissions rarely could be heard from more than half a mile away. However when we connected the Midland 75-822 to a whip antenna that was several feet long the range increased considerably. As a result we recommend investing in a better antenna before using the device in your car although the radio still works well for communicating with nearby semis when you're trying to find out the source of a traffic jam.
