ITEM DID NOT WORK WHEN RECEIVED.OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT PRETESTED PRIOR TO SHIPPING.I HAVE A PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED ONE.AND IT DOES NOT WORK.
Needs a outside antenna to work effectively in a auto or truck. With the roof mount antenna, the unit works great at a good distance.
the antenna it came with is good but i wanted to get better reception so i went to radioshack and bought a telescoping antenna for about $20. the radio works really good. i was looking for a good cheap handheld cb and i found the midland 75-785. the midland radio is a good radio for a great price. i have a cb in my truck but wanted one for the house. the reception of the handhedl isnt as good as the cb in my truck but it works pretty good. i reccommend the handheld cb even just to keep in the car for emergancies. but if your going to use it on a road trip i reccommend buying a window mount antenna.
Pilot Car Operators know this is not intended as a substitute for a real dash mount CB. It is however, the most ecomomically priced hand-held in the business. Great for flagging traffic around stalled loads, etc.,
A rechargeable radio would have been a better choice for me , the radio is fine I like everything about it other than the fact that you need 9 "AA" batteries to operate, I never thought about inquiring about power source.buying rechargeable batteries does not do it for me.other than that it is a good radio.
