Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a really nice compact CB that works great for the occasional user. If you're planing on using this on a daily basis I would recommend getting a regular CB if you have the room for it (I don't think a trucker would be happy using this every day). Responding to the negative reviews that say something like "It didn't work at all", I wonder what "at all" means. I suspect some of those people may have tried to use the mobile adapter and the small included whip antenna at the same time. My CB's (I bought 2 of them) didn't get any reception that way without a simple modification. Note: If you're using the battery pack it works fine with the included antenna. The mobile adapter has two connectors. One connector plugs into the cigarette lighter and another connector is for an external antenna. When the mobile adapter is hooked up (on mine anyway) it's assuming you're using an external antenna so it ignores the included antenna. Without an external antenna hooked up, I wouldn't get any reception. To get it to work I had to put a piece of electrical tape over the terminal for the external antenna. One of the attached pictures shows the yellow electrical tape I used. This way I could use the external power and the included antenna. Pros It can fit in the arm rest of a car (at least it fits in mine) It can easily be stored in the glove compartment It can be used similar to a walkie talkie Access the 10 NOAA weather radio channels The battery life is excellent Cons The range isn't as good as a normal CB. I would (and have) recommend this to my friends.
