Midland 75-822


It should do what you want. Your likely to get a fair share of electrical noise from your car, but parked and talking, you'll do fairly well

I had the same radio hooked to a Wilson 1000 trunk mount. It did ok, considering.

Any way to get rid of the noise or some of it? Going on a 11hr trip in May in the wife's 2013 Ford Edge shes not gonna let me install a mobile in it lol.
 
Wow man that thing looks sweet. Looks like this thing covers most bands. I dont have my Ham license but guess I could look into getting them.

I looked at these when they first came out.
Problem I have is no SSB....If you just want AM/FM it`s ok I guess.
As far as Ten meters go, no +/- offsets is a problem.

I'd actually like to put my 959 in my truck. But cant decide on where to put it is the problem. I'd like to get the Galaxy DX2547 base for the house. I've been told its a 959 in a big case pretty much.

Has anyone used one of these Midlands Handhelds? I'm wanting something I can transfer easy between vehicles. I have a K-30 mag mount antenna. Do they perform very well. I'd like to at least get 5-10 miles range. This one comes with the car kit. Any input is appreciated thanks.

I have one, they work good for what they are...as long as you use an external antenna. Speaker is kinda hard to hear, but its a compromise for the portability. Mine is opened up to 120 channels...bought it that way from a member on here.

I doubt you will get 5 to 10 miles, it dead keys 4 watts and it swings nada. Its a compromise...its small and portable and does the job, but its no full sized radio.

I bought it to use in rental cars...I've since shelved it and made a portable Uniden 78LTW for that purpose.

For the size and it's also easy to use the Amazon.com: Uniden 40-Channel CB Radio (PRO510XL): Car Electronics is the radio I use as a portable.I have a Wilson 1000 but was going to pick up a lil will or k-30 .The radio works great with a stock mic wich is a smaller mic but talks good. Add a cigg. plug on the power cord and your good to go. I was also thinking of a portable mount maby suction cup or something?

Yea that sounds like a good idea. I now have the K-30 but my set screw stripped out and gotta fix it. I never even torqued it down I dunno what happened. I got a old simple handheld cobra HH28 hooked to it in the truck and you talk about motor noise or something but works good if the truck is off. I even checked the swr's and didnt change much moving it up and down like it says to set it.
 
I've got one. Had it about a month now. there's supposed to be a channel mod for it but my internal board doesn't match the board that was posted on the site where I found the mod... The Author stated the mod was for the 820 AND 822 but the boards are slightly different so I didn't attempt to try it. would work good in a vehicle using the mobile adapter but using as a handheld to handheld it's really not much better than the old 49 megahertz toys back in the day. They are good for the cheap cost and what they are though.
