 Basic CB gets the job done. January 20, 2007

I installed my Midland 1001Z 40 Channel CB with Channel 9 Switch and PA on my PT Cruiser about 6 months ago. It's a basic CB that sends and receives fine. I bought it for the PA option, I had a powerhorn speaker under the hood and it's plenty loud. I have worn out 2 musical horns on my clown car in the last 4 years. The CB with PA is my attempt at adding an MP3 player for custom sound effects, songs and sounds of my choosing. With a little modification to the Mic speaker it's working out fine. Plently of amplification, and since I can customize the sounds it's virtually unlimited what my car can say or sound like. My wife preffered the ease of push single button for single song. The MP3 player has to be turned on, track selected, then hit play. (Not too difficult, at all).
I'm using the CB with a Firestik antenna mount and Firestik USA flag antenna. Instead of trying to blend the CB antenna into the car color, now it's a bit showier. An advantage is the high mount, low enough off the back door frame to clear my garage. It's now even easier to locate my clown car in parking lots when a larger vehicle blocks the view, the antenna is still visible.
Overall I loved the price and ease of install, no frills CB, the PA option was a must for me. The Antenna and mount was the most expensive part of this project.
One of the best CB's out there January 18, 2007

This CB is one of the best CB's that I have used. I am currently employed with a large farming and ranching operation which does a lot of traveling and using this CB to keep in touch with the rest of the crew helps out and works out well.
 It's cheap January 9, 2007

The only thing I really don't like is the fact that it goes to channel 9 every time it is turned off. Gee, it probably would have cost 1 or 2 pennies to make it stay on the last channel used.
Great at any price!! December 29, 2006

I have had more than a few CBs over the years, including some very expensive single side bands. This little Midland performs at least as well, if not better than any! The clarity and range out of the box without "tweaking", are just superior. My only complaint is the default to channel 9 function every time it is turned on, but that's minor. I'm trying now to justify buying several more,"just in case!" For the price, it's absolutely fantastic!!!
Excellent and Inexpensive CB Radio November 9, 2006

I had some serious doubts about a CB radio that was so inexpensive. But, overcoming my doubts, I purchased it and installed it in my car. I hooked it up to the cigarette lighter plug and connected it to the antenna I had used for the previous CB. Then, riding along the interstate, I sent out a call for anyone on the channel. A trucker answered (clearly)and said that I was coming in fine. WOW!
