Summary: Excellent for a hand held
Comment: I purchased this item to use on trail runs that I do with other 4X4 owners. When standing outside the vehicle and using the hand held setup I got a range of about a mile and a half. The primary way that I use this radio is with a 3' FireStik mounted to a cross member on my roof rack. This set up puts the antenna right in the middle of the roof of my SUV and makes for a great ground plane. I then run 18' of coax along the roof rack, through the rear window and under the floor mats to the front of the cabin. I check the antenna tuning each time I set it up and I get over 5 miles range in mountainous terrain and over 10 miles in open country.
I like this radio because it fits my needs. I want to be able to take it down when I am not on the trails or traveling in remote areas, but I want it to be quick and easy to set up when I do want to use it. I am sure I can get better features and longer range with a permanent setup and a "big box" radio, but I am completely satisfied with this product. It is versatile and easy to use once you familiarize yourself with the controls and their locations.

Summary: MIDLAND 75-822 40 Channel 2 Way Radio
Comment: 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.

Summary: Nice package and features
Comment: 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.
