Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Midland 1001Z 2-Way CB Radio
Customer Review: Outta the box... these guys got this right!
Summary: 5 Stars
What else can I say but to give 5 stars. This thing performs very well with nice features for a $30 radio. I really enjoy the RF gain feature. Okay, having to change to One-Niner every time I get in my pickup is a bit annoying but if you want you can plug it into a main line in the box. I left it on PA accidently (the channel LED's go out in PA mode... so you can't tell it's powered... this is common as you're not on the CB channel any longer)... Changed it back to the switched power in the fuse box as I would rather deal with this "feature" than have my battery go dead!
My dad had a Midland in 1974.. I talked that every chance I got! This is small, light weight and very functional from a company with a tall reputation of high quality electronics.
This and a Little Wil (mag mount antenna) and you're in business for under $75!!!!
Customer Review: Great sound, good range
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to use in my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo. I'm very happy with the way it works, I don't have problems hearing anyone and vice versa. I haven't used the PA function yet, but I plan to eventually. It works great using my magnet mount antenna. I didn't use the included mounting kit (I removed the ashtray from my dash and the fit was perfect!)Customer Review: Midland 1001Z CB Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
A super price. I bought this to use as a base station in my home and to communicate with my portable CB in case of emergency when I'm working on the land. I had to provide 13.7 VDC power with an external supply of course. It works just great. It feeds a homemade 18 ft half wave vertical dipole. This is a pretty basic unit but gets the job done.Customer Review: Needs to be permantly installed
Summary: 4 Stars
The item looks great and arrived on time. The only surprise was that I had to permanently install the unit. It did not have a cigarette lighter attachment to power it. Looking back, the description doesn't indicate one, but I'm not sure "Easily installs" is accurate. I have to look up how to install it on my car, so haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. I just wanted others who may be looking for a CB for occasional use to understand that it doesn't come with a cigarette lighter attachment.Customer Review: Very good product and I highly recommend it to anyone with a vehicle
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was very well made, very good sound quality, and it was easy to install taking around 30 minutes or so to get the product installed into my vehicle.
