Reviews around installation (4.64 of 5)

  • By pairing this with a Pro-Fit vehicle-specific mount, I have a great-looking installation that was very easy to do.
  • Miscellaneous installation materials: ½” cable clamps, crimp-on ring-terminals, heat-shrink tubing, electrical tape, plastic tie-wraps, auto/marine sealant, use to re-seal penetration through firewall (photo-6),Installation was relatively easy after assembling all the parts and materials
  • The speaker in the radio does not provide as much clarity as I would like.

Reviews around feature (4.40 of 5)

  • sound tracker works decent as well as the dual watch but the scan feature is sketchy since there is no RF gain control

  • There are some nice features on this radio including the Cobra Soundtracker feature that removes static (works well), and weather bands, channels 1-40 scan, custom 2 channel scan and more

  • I do think this unit is superior to Midland's offering.

  • The speaker did not work on this unit right out of the box

Reviews around space (2.35 of 5)

  • I have limited space in my Pathfinder, so I was looking for a dashmount.
  • Since the 2M mobile takes up all available space for mounting a radio, I decided to choose this model as my CB.
  • The speaker in the radio does not provide as much clarity as I would like.
  • Highly recommended for a small car where space is limited

Reviews around volume (1.36 of 5)

  • Only issue is volume and the screen could be better IMO
  • The volume is much better than I expected it to be, and the controls are arranged on the mic in a way that is easy to use
  • I have not as of yet had the top down since installing and cannot speak to the volume levels while in an open air drive but with the top up, the volume is perfectly loud enough for me to be able to hear the conversation loud and clear
  • However, my one complaint is that the controls are somewhat difficult to adjust, particularly volume and squelch.

Reviews around bite (1.00 of 5)

  • I now have some nerve problems in my hand so manipulating the buttons is a bit harder for me now
  • It has worked flawlessly for me!Although the radio itself is a bit heavy and awkward when you first use it, you will quickly find that the slight inconvenience is quickly forgotten by it's rock solid performance.
  • It's a bit hard to read what channel you're on when in direct sunlight, but fortunately it's not too bright at night to cause glare
  • Routing the cable through the rear cargo door is a bit tricky and may be the most time consuming task in the entire project, but be sure to SWR tune your

Reviews around point (1.00 of 5)

  • front-facing speaker-- 1-DIN form-factorThe included microphone is the only weak point; replace it with an Astatic or Road King mic (even a cheap one) of your choosing for an immediate, significant improvement in your outgoing audio quality.
  • About the only bad points that I can see is that the unit itself is somewhat large and looks awkward on my dash, the speaker does not sound fantastic (but not too bad considering the size
  • I'm not gonna knock off points, but I wish the power/ground wires were a foot longer and wish the channel up/down buttons were on the opposite side from the PTT button, but for how awesome this rig works, I just can't do it.
  • None of these small inconveniences cause me to knock off any points from 5 stars - it does what it's supposed to do very well, and the convenient option of single DIN mounting to add function to a clean look is worth it to me
