Got this one used as a back up for $46, it’s similar to the cobra model I bought. Have to say, the cobra was $10 more, and it’s a much nicer radio. Cobra added weather, and the ability to toggle between channels 9, 19 and the weather, with one button. I compared them both to reception and they both pulled in signals very clearly. The uniden did sound a little better pulling in signals. But it’s a basic radio, no ability to lock in channels, just plug and play. If you’re wanting a cb to do something more, get the cobra, but I’ve got no complaints on the uniden.

Greetings,As a First Responder, I have had various electronic means to keep in touch with people at base stations, moving vehicles/truckers, and emergency personnel.The purpose of purchasing this unit for 1st responders was due to costs and because it was a Uniden, it was felt to be better than the competitors such as Cobra, RLS, and others for buying the unit(s) at a fraction of the costs.Well, I was WRONG!Here are the major issues with this handheld:• The antenna was flimsy when it was fully extended.- EMS personnel need a handheld that does not require the 5ft extension to communicate and maintain contact with that individual.TESTING:Fix distances with the unit were tested and here were the results:- Line of clear sight 100 yards: FAILED- In a wooded area 100 yards: FAILED- Police, EMS Base Stations, and mobile units within a 3-mile range on channel 9: FAILED.- Vehicles with CB Radios: BRIEFLY on with the squelch fine-tuned: FAlLED- No means of saving CB channels: FAILEDIn conclusion, a review is going to have to be done on other brand name units that can meet our expectations.Henry S

Bought this for work and it works great! the only down fall I have found is the batteries don't seem to last like I feel they should, but it gets the job done!

I remember in the 70's CB radios were the way to go. It actually saved mine and my family's life on a cross-country trip to New York from California. Stuck in Omaha, NE in a blizzard, couldn't get my vehicle started and the CB'ers contacted a tow truck for me to get my bus started. Well nowadays with cell phones CB's are an amusing blast from the past but you can still sometimes get lucky and get a stratospheric skipped signal and hear/talk to someone thousands of miles away. This portable CB is quality and works like a charm and the price amazes me (got it for 40 bucks). Nowadays it's a very high quality walkie talkie so is still relevant. Better to buy this than some .5 watt WT and you get 4 whole watts meaning much more range.

This requires a lot of AA batteries. I figured it would be wise to use rechargeable batteries to save a little money. They work fine, but I have to remove them to charge them which is a pain in the butt. Also, why the hell do CBs costs much!? They cost twice as much as a ham radio, which is infinitely better.

Seems to be well-built. Feels solid in your hand. The Midland hand-held mic with clothing clip works well, plug and play. sound and voice quality better. With basic Amazon rechargeable AA batteries the battery life is very good.It does have some negatives. Even with an SWR of 1:1.05 the radio on high output only produces 2.8 watts of dead key (no modulation) and 0.8 watts on low power.The rubber antenna is only a basic so don't expect much distance. A nicer antenna would work much better. Checkout the folding type on Amazon.Would buy again.

Small, compact, uses rechargeable or regular AA batteries. Bought it for daughter who spends allot of time traveling. Good to have when you get behind stop and go traffic to know what’s going on up ahead and what lane you need to be in.
