    Midland 75-785 40-Channel CB Radio

    • Although it is a cheap unit compared to other handheld radios, it is very durable and works great
    • Nice well made unit
    • While it worked at a very short distance initially, less than 1/4 mile, after about a year of little use, the unit began losing power to the point of unable to transmit to even the truckers right next to me.
    • GOOD SOLID UNIT
    • This unit works well in open areas.
    • We use these radios for spotting other drivers when backing units into tight spaces and for a backup if our mobile unit stops working

    • Sad they are re-selling defective units.
    • With the roof mount antenna, the unit works great at a good distance.
    • truly disappointing never worked a once, the lights came on and volume worked -t still failed, even after a number of other people tried to help - i even tried a number of times sitting in the truck stops - just a bad unit.
    • If you are making a long term investment and want to spend twice as much money, you might want to consider the Cobra as a more solid and serious hand held unit
    • This seems to be a very solid unit
    • This unit appears solid, but it does not receive well nor does it transmit anywhere near the advertised distance that it should have.
    • Not quite as powerful as the big Uniden dash unit and 102” whip I have on my car, but it’s also a lot less expensive and sounds just as clear
    • Pretty sure I received a defective unit that was returned once before as I have the exact same problem as another reviewer did who said they returned it
