Midland Alan 42DS CB Radio

This radio is mighty fine. Saw a lot of people on the Internet saying the supplied antenna is not that good. I swapped that out for a cheap 27MHz whip antenna. Yesterday, sitting in a Dorset car park, I picked up a station from the Netherlands for sure and possibly a German station, as well as locals. First time using cb since the 70s. Good to be back! The supplied car attachment looks really good but I haven't yet checked it out. Really great radio that works out of the box. Remember, using the small 6 battery pack will only Tx on low power. The supplied 8 battery pack gives the full 4W. Also remember to choose UK frequencies when you fire it up. Follow the easy instructions. Enjoy!

Really Happy with this great value for moneyDefinitely worth a bye and the delivery on it was so fast

Refunded thanks.

Useless no one is on it anymore what a water of money

I think it’s great, it’s not busy these days as people don’t talk anymore they use WhatsApp , there are some local people around me that are always on it so earwigging is great, the supplied antenna does the job but nothing wrong with getting a better one, throw in some rechargeable batteries and you are good to go, I’ve been told my mic isn’t great which wasn’t good to hear but I’m still happy, brings back memories from back in the day, from what I have read this is the best hand held available, looks the part also, auto squelch is great for using when auto scan is on , overall I’m happy, brownie points for the wife who bought me it, come on people let’s bring CB back

It is good it works has intended but due to nasty ppl on cb these days rude and music playing ppl keying the Mike they ruine something tgat use to be so fantastic and could be a life saver if your phone goes still you have this for communication I had midland cb back in the day never went wrong good company on cb radios

good quality electrics but again only for those who have friends with CB radio in your area

Nice bit of kit, Easy to use, good accessories come with it, worth the money, I wanted a rig which did not take up much room and this one is ideal for the car or at home (only bought in case all other ways of communication are took down)
