After using the Midland 1001LWX, I am convinced that Midland has released an great product

All electronics (or just about anything) have benefits and features

That one feature then becomes your benefit or if more than one your benefits

Seems well built, nice feel, good features, but CB just didn't work

It does not have all the features a more expensive radio would have but seems to have enough features for a beginner like me

The small design has nice features, but overall a poor radio if your looking for a good CB that has distance

works great compact size installed on a polaris razor

Inexpensive CB radio purchased for a trip, works as expected.

Weather channels work fantastic, very clear; you can key the mic to flip through channels and pressing the CB/PA button gives it a volume boost

- CB noise limiter works very well on the Cherokee, which creates a lot of

It will not be solid as a rock on the beanbag but it is working very well for myself

work's great weather work's as described scans or you can change channels by keying the mike.

The automatic noise limiter also seems to work well, it not only cleans up ignition noise but also radio receive noise

The automatic noise limiter also seems to work well, it not only cleans up ignition noise but also radio receive noise

Gain/squelch knobs work beautifully, auto noise limiter works even better

The only thing I don't like is that you can't change the station of the weather scanner with the channel changing knob

this thing is great for the price and just fantastic over all has a lot more

The NOAA weather radio is by far my favorite thing about this radio, There is nothing online or any where else that can give you local accurate weather updates like NOAA does, NOAA uses "Weather spotters" To give up to the minute weather during hazardous weather, It will track a lighting storm and tell you where it will hit and approximately what time

Having the weather function is a nice thing, though the radio is so sensitive, it will pick up the second closest station instead of the first, and IT not YOU selects which weather station to listen to

Weather channels are clear, autoselect hasn't given me trouble

weather channel works well when l need it.l'am okay with using it

Only thing works is the weather channel, I received one scew to put the Mic holder on, and wind up putting in another screw which the head of it broke off the CB radio does not work

the weather band is nice and everything comes in clear as long as you have a good antenna, great buy well worth it

Small, Clean, Easy operation plus weather band! perfect unit for storm spotting, talking with your bubbies or helping your local REACT chapter.

I was looking for a compact cb to mount in my late model pick up that had weather band channels

Works good as a cheap CB

This is the perfect CB for my Jeep Cherokee, where mounting space is super tight

Small, Clean, Easy operation plus weather band! perfect unit for storm spotting, talking with your bubbies or helping your local REACT chapter.

and I liked how compact this unit was and that I can get the weather band with it.

Two different units have the same problem

Visual inspection of the failed unit showed nasty cold-solder spattered all over the board, and what appeared to be an insect leg soldered across pins that shouldn't have been connected.

The inner and outer knobs for the RF gain and squelch don't have enough resistance, and usually turning one causes the other to rotate in the same direction

There are not many radios with an RF gain, PA option, and weather band in this size, for this price

Unfortunately when ground noise levels are high it tends to bleed through the squelch and the RF gain regardless of the settings

I keep the 5 ft. in the jeep for optional change out if, I want greater reception

The second disappointment was the reception

but it does have reasonable reception and speaker clarity is very good

UPDATE 1/14/2013: 10 months later, everything I previously said holds true, but I just started losing my reception intermittently...turns out the CB/weather-scanner switch is now finicky

The squelch and RF gain take a bit of getting used to, but once you find the right balance, you can extract excellent reception
