Small and easy to use. You will need an antena if you really want to take advantage of this unit, the one that comes included has a very, and I mean VERY small range. Easy to extend to 120 ch., you can actually do it yourself, just google it.

the midland 75-822 works quite well for me. I go into the hills on logging roads and have to know what the loggers are doing. Works great. with a quick disconnect I can be walking in the woods
Nice package and features [Posted on 2008-08-30]
This is a nice package.
Alkaline and rechargeable battery packs are included, along with the charger. Rechargeable batteries are NOT included.
The radio has a lot of features (scan, weather, dual watch ...).
As a walkie talkie with the included rubber duckie antenna, range is pretty limited (as expected). If you buy a Cobra HA-TA Hand-Held CB Antenna, it will almost double the range.
I have not used the radio with the car adaptor yet. I expect the radio will perform a lot better with a mobile antenna.
My only real complaint is that the modulation (transmitted audio) is low and a bit muffled.
The weather radio works well.
The radio can be easily (although illegally) modified for 120 channels AM, 80 channels with an AM / FM mix or some kind of UK mod that wasn't described. Info is available by searching the web. I don't know who is using these frequencies but I would avoid interfering with the 10M Ham band.
There is supposed to be an audio mod but I was not able to find it. This would probably make a big difference.

Not what I was hoping for. Hooked it up to a whip antenna and took it on a trip to Tennessee following some friends. I know that tuning the antenna helps, but we had it working for about 3 city blocks with that antenna before we left and 0 blocks with the antenna that came on the CB. By the time I got out of town, I could haedly pick up my friends from 100 ft. Really disappointed in this as a Midland product. Would not recommend it to anyone serious about having good communications.

This radio is tops. It provides the convenience of use as a walkie or use as a mobile unit.
