 This radio WORKS!!! March 11, 2006

Before I got this radio, I had a similar model from Radio Shack. That was an expensive piece of junk --- it wouldn't receive even when I was right next to a transmission. I wrote to Radio Shack with a complaint, and they never replied. This Cobra is one fine unit. Even with the inside antenna it performed very well and even better with the magnetic mount external. I was recently on a long road trip and I was able to avoid a lengthy traffic jam due to hearing about it in plenty of time. The only negative is the nine-battery configuration --- that's an odd number to buy. A good investment for any road traveler.

This is a Great Radio, You can find it cheaper on the net, *But you have to pay the shipping! So that makes this a better deal! Radio works Great, has a wonderful range! and can be set up to be totally set up for work use, in any car or truck! The added antenna helps this along very well! As a hand held, It holds it's own! One should always have a radio around in case of and emergency! And this is a great Radio, Made by a great Co. Cobra !

When a natural disaster strikes, cell phones and land lines can not do what this can. With the easy portability, this cb radio can get you in contact with emergency services and loved ones who also have one and are within range. Even if the person you are trying to contact is out of range, someone on one of the 40+ channels would probably be able to relay information. It also has a signal booster and the sound comes in loud and clear. I bought one for me and one for my wife. If the event of an earthquake, we each will turn our radios on to a specified channel and instantly contact each other.
And, as previously mentioned, even if we are out of range of each other, we will be able to contact emergency services. Possible real life-saver!

The radio is great for what it is. I bought it because I wanted a cb that I can use in more than one truck. The only draw-back I found is when the power cable and the cable for the magnet-mount antenna are both attached it can be hard to handle. I like the fact that the radio has all the additional stuff like the 10 NOAA channels and the high/low power switch and that the display is digital. This is a good buy but if you are going to use this in only one car or truck I would go with a hard mount cb because you don't have to hold the whole thing. But over all a good buy for the money.
