Midland - Alan 42 DS CB Radio Portable Transceiver, License-Free, Multi-Band for All EU Countries, Digital Squelch - Professional Transceivers AM/FM with 2-Pin Socket, Antenna, and Accessories

I really like it! You get the radio with a basic antenna which as others say is not good. This is no reflection on the radio, the CB wavelength is 11 meters so no rubber duck antenna on any CB will be any good. However if you buy a telescoping antenna at 1.2m or so for £20 you will improve it massively! It has a 6 cell pack with it for alkaline batteries and an additional 8 cell pack for it with rechargeable. The wall charger is not modern, it was designed in the days of Ni-cads and as such doesn’t ‘shut down’. You are advised in the manual to unplug it. It lasts a very long time in batteries so I simply remove them, replace and carry on. The car kit is really good. You can plug a mag mount in and you are now speaking to 10 miles plus. Really good things are AM, FM, digital squelch works well (removes static). No single side band but nothing at this price has. Great kit, just remember you need rubber duck for mates at line of sight (I wouldn’t bother - PMR like the Midland G9 pro is loads better for that), mag mount with 1-1.5m antenna (5-10 mile range) or a base station with proper antenna (20 miles plus). If you are just getting into it then this allows you to have a hand held, in car (great for this) and at home (either off batteries or with a 12V supply). I really rate it.

Good bit of kit just need to get out and about with it Comes with all you need charger for rechargeable batteries and a car adapter.

Worked well, we used it on set for communication and also at festivals. No point as a CB radio because nobody uses them anymore

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)

Bought this item it wouldn't not change on the mains electricity plug in 24 hours and nothing sent it back and got a replacement same story just won't change what a waste of money never again

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!

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

Wasn’t able to use it. The seal on the box was broken. I would like to add that I believe that it was this individual piece that was faulty. Not the model on the whole.

CB mobile complète un peu rétro mais bien pensée et efficace. Le module voiture permet de l'adapter facilement et avec un encombrement minimum. Modulation AM et FM classique mais parfaitement fonctionnel. Les 2 blocs piles sont basiques mais font le boulot également en mobile avec des accus Nimh

Ürün güzel kullanışlı

Ottimo, funziona perfettamente. Ottimola qualità dell'audio, sostituite il gommino fornito con un antenna per CB portatili da 1.30m.

Parfait avec une petite antenne télescopique que j'ai acheté à un prix dérisoire j ai fait un contact radio à environ 16 km c'est parfait pour moi
