The Midland 75-822 is a 40-channel CB radio that works two ways. Carry it as a handheld walkie-talkie running on 6 AA batteries, or seat it in the included mobile adapter to power it from a 12V socket and run it as a dash-mounted CB. One unit covers both jobs, so you are not buying a separate base and handheld.
It puts out 4 watts on high power and 1 watt on low to stretch battery life. The stock BNC whip antenna reaches roughly 3 miles in open terrain. Route the mobile adapter's SO-239 jack to a tuned vehicle antenna and clear-terrain range climbs to about 10 miles. Built-in features include Dual Watch, an automatic noise limiter, squelch control, channel scan, and instant access to channels 9 and 19. A backlit LCD keeps the display readable day or night.
The box includes the radio, the DC mobile adapter, an AC charger, separate battery cases for alkaline and rechargeable AA cells, a hand strap, a belt clip, and the owner's manual. It also receives all 10 NOAA weather channels for round-the-clock hazard alerts.
