Installed it to my Nissan Xterra. First it was working fine, but after a few months the channel switching knob stopped working (twists free, but the channel number remains 1), making the whole thing kompletely useless.

I bought this radio to use it as means of communication with truck drivers on the route between San Diego CA. and Phoenix, AZ. and stay on top of Black & Whites on the highway. It works great! every one can hear me loud and clear and I can receive incoming transmitions just as well. It is giving me about 3 to 5 miles distance without any trouble whatsoever.

Yes, it is small, but packed with the receive and transmit power that delivers clear CB communication. Great manual and easy install. A great value for its cost.
Basic CB gets the job done. January 20, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
