CB Newby Question...
I just bought this radio new from Ebay for 23.00 (Midland 40 Ch CB Radio 1001Z)
Is this radio decent or is it outdated and that's why it was so cheap? I have the item already and it is unopened in original packaging. I only want to use it for trail rides and emergency situations should one arise. I will pair it with the Ultramount CB Antenna System and 4' FireStik. I want to know if this will not just fit my need but is it reliable as well? Any info, experiences, or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

CB's arent really that expensive unless you want all the bells and whistles.

I have found that even a very low-end radio will perform very well with a decent antenna that is set up properly. Find a buddy with an SWR meter who knows how to use it.

Well this is looking good then....My Father in Law has an SWR Meter and said he would give a hand with the install.
Its got a PA Switch, Squelch Control, Instant Emergency Channel, I don't think I need much more than that.
