Unless you’re wanting to talk to a car following behind you or in front of you handheld CB’s are worthless. As a sidenote, I still have my JCPenney 6888 single side band unit that I bought in 1978 and it still works and it works well.

The best way to avoid a pile-up on a snowy freeway is to actually be ON your CB Radio.

why nothing with sideband? solar activity is increasing.... skip gunna be gettin better.... unless youare a pilot vehicle driver that operates on AM CB RADIO .... step up into something that does USB/LSB SIDEBAND if you gunna wanna use that radio ''talkin skip'' on the hill or wutever... have an AWESOME EVERY THING !!! :) cuz if you were a truker that likes to be talkn'skip on downtime, their radio wouldn't be AM (and now FM) only ;) right? again if all your biz is done on AM CB RADIO then yea... those are all nice choices and the walker looks best to me... but unless it's FREE I won't be gettin an AM ONLY radio ;) can't budget it lol

The uniden 520 and the president Walker 3 are the only two worth buying for mobile, the two handhelds are good for outdoor use and not for mobile as the midlands screen is very hard to see unless you’re able to find the light button fast enough while driving, not good at night, the randy is an excellent radio but unless you’re able to change the battery out fast and have an extra battery pack you will be without a radio, I haven’t seen a battery pack for the Randy on the market yet, and the uniden screen gets washed out by the sun in daylight, great at night though. I also have the uniden 520 which I have gotten excellent reports on, don’t have the president Walker 3 but I do have the president McKinley and president does make excellent radios for mobiles, any one of their mobile lines I would recommend.

The first one by midland is a genuine hunk of shit. Bought one and all I hear is static and engine noise. I pick up the same two people I’m assuming truckers from another state. So midland sent me a second one to which I had one in my truck and the other at the highest point outside my house. Started from 30 miles away and couldn’t talk back and forth with my son until I was pulling up in the driveway about 40’. Where can I get a legit mobile radio that I can have decent comms with especially in an emergency

Totally agree with you, I bought one of these I still have it and it’s still in the cabinet. Unless you’re standing outside of the vehicle the range is ridiculously small. Handheld CBS are a waste of money

@@Deadlypillowcase Yes, almost all the “hand held” radios are a pain to use and unless you have an outside antenna, you can’t talk very far. Of those he listed I recommend The Unit in and get you a good magnetic mount antenna to put on your roof. That’ll get you some distance.
