The 1970s Citizen's Band craze is long over, but a new generation ofcompact, powerful radios is luring customers back to this long-rangeservice. With a handheld CB like the Midland 75-810, you can reach other CBusers up to 15 miles away and get instant access to weather and trafficinformation.

A CB radio is great on the road to alert you to accidents and backupsahead. You can also get directions and advice from fellow motorists. Better yet,highway CB-ers get to use cool lingo like, "I've got to feed the bears"(translated: pay a traffic fine to the police).

The Midland 75-810 features a powerful 4 watts of CB output, with apower-saving setting that allows you to operate on 1 watt for short-rangetransmission to save battery power.

Citizen's Band radios like the Midland 75-810 use 40 channels on the AMradio spectrum from 26.965 to 27.405 MHz.

This is a good item for travel, or camping, or even around the house because of the weather channels. I'm thinking of buying two more for my sons cars! I even use mine at work in the construction field just for the weather channels.

This review is from: Midland 75810 40 Channel Handheld CB (Electronics)

I bought this CB radio about two months ago. i am a CB enthusiast and have been through many radios, i must say that this handheld radio is absolutely the best bet for anyone who is going on a trip or just want to have some fun, it his high powered and unbelievable features for its price. the PTT button or (push to talk button) on it is very nice you don't need much force to push it in and it clicks so u know you are transmitting. The weather radio is nice receives very nicely and for a handheld it gets out pretty far and if you buy an external antenna, u can add at least another 2 miles to the range of this radio. I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT!

An outstanding CB radio for my Jeep. For under $40, there is no reason to purchase a higher priced model for your portable needs. I would suggest a magnetic roof top mount antenna for increased reception. However, the factory antenna is adequate for 3 to 5 mile reception on level terrain. This model accepts ear buds which greatly extends battery life because you are able to monitor at much lower volume. A must for travelers.
