Price: $25.00
Pros: Small, easy to use
Cons: none yet
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I bought it for a trail spare to lend to other who need it. I have it matched with a K30 antenna. I plugged it into the cig lighter and no engine noise. I recently took it with me on a road trip. It will easily reach out a few miles.

For what paid I is a good radio.

Cons: cheap nobs.

Price: $25.00
Pros: Very simple to use, basic, and very easy to install anywhere.
Cons: No channel scan feature. Picks up the engine noise on the single digit channels, while accelerating.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: The radio works great. I've paired it up with a Cobra HGA1500 magnetic antenna and regularly pick up (on clear days) broadcasts from several states away. Didn't have to connect directly to the battery or wire it to the electrical box. Instead, got a cheap cigarette lighter adapter from RadioShack, hooked it up, and haven't had any problems.

From research, the engine noise is probably due to a grounding issue with my cigarette lighter more than with the CB, but broadcasts come in fine and this is very easy to mount (took me 10 minutes, never having mounted one before).

Price: $40.00
Pros: Didn't burst into flames.
Cons: Crappy mic, bad transmit sound quality, low power.
Recommended? No

Comments: Absolutely terrible radio. I've had three of these, all of which were duds. The first one had a bad RF knob which had a faulty connection inside and would kill the radio if you touched it. The other two would squeal when transmitting. This was not an antenna, SWR, or ground issue; they did it with different antennas, cables, and vehicles. I imagine there was some kind of bad connection in the antenna plug that would get knocked loose as it would occasionally work right.

Cons: RF Gain really distorts speaker.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: It's a decent little radio, make sure you get a good whip, mine is crap. Mic is comfortable to hold, and looks awesome in my WJ.

Price: $27.00
Pros: Small size. Nice feel of the mic. Inexpensive. I've always liked Midland radios.
Cons: None yet, but haven't had it long. We'll see.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I really like the radio. I've always been partial to Midland, but that's just because my Granddad always used them. I really like the way the mic feels. I've had a couple cbs in the past - Uniden and Radio Shack. The mics felt so small and cheap. This one feels better. The compact size is great. Doesn't take up too much room. Sound quality is pretty good for such a small unit.

Price: $20.00
Pros: Cheap and works.
Cons: None yet.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: The radio works great and is cheap which is a plus for me cause I only use it while wheeling. It's small so I had a ton of choices of where to place it. The mic feels cheap in the hand but again, look at the price, I can live with it. I was worried that the one small built in speaker wouldn't be powerful enough to hear but it's fine. It has a an audio out that I can plug into my radio's aux plug but I don't like the way it sounds, it's got a hum. I do recommend it.

Price: $40.00
Pros: easy to use and install
Cons: finicky to get the proper SWR
Recommended? Yes

Comments: It comes in a small package so it's pretty easy to mount anywhere in the jeep. keep it away from other electronics or it will mess with your SWR.

Price: $30.00
Pros: Great controls, squelch control and RF gain work well.
Cons: Channel knob plastic-y, and sometimes jumps more than one channel per click on the knob.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I got this to talk to a couple of friends on the air waves. I've been impressed with it thoroughly. It was the least expensive one on Amazon, and had reviews that were better than ones for three times the price.

Price: $70.00
Pros: Small, easy to find a place to install it. Reliable. Rugged looking design that doesn't attact unwanted attention. The microphone is much better than mic's found on comparable Uniden models. I like its simplicity, and layout. No extra garbage on it that I don't want or need. And its cheap, so if it gets stolen, breaks, gets wet or whatever its not a big deal.
Cons: I wonder if the bells and whistles on the more expensive ones are worth it...?
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I love it. I looked around a lot when picking one out. Was looking at a similar Uniden model cause of the brand name.

The very knowledgable guy at the radio shop I bought it from convinced me the Midland was the best for what I was doing with it.

Came with everything to install it on my TJ's dash. Have not had a problem with it all summer. It was used every weekend.

As for transmitting and recieving. I tuned it with an SWR meter, and outperform many of the other guys with fancy radios and lousy tunes.
