I bought this VHF radio to be used in case of emergency while boating. So far it has been working very well. The two batteries received with it provide far more power than what I needed. I could...
I bought one of these for everyday use in the Everglades, and have had no problem with it, it has even been subject to my waterproof and drop tests (been submerged in marsh water and rained on...
This device has a special custom battery. Unfortunately, mine did not come with a special custom battery charger, which makes it rather useless when the battery runs out.
This VHF is less expensive than others, but I have noticed that it's receive and transmit capabilities do not match those of the VHF's my friends take out. I know it says 5 watts, but after...
I purchased this radio for use on a bare boat charter in St Martin. Initial tests in the US showed limited range of 1-2 miles when communicating with Talkabout or Marine VHF radios in a suburban...
I purchased this Cobra MR HH425LI VP VHF Radio to use out on the Delta. After using it I have found that the range is very low, maybe 2 miles on a good day if you have a open view to the receiving...
Great price on a fantastic product. It has a rechargable battery, and can also run on AA batteries. It is waterproof (essential for boating) and doesn't need a dry sack like other marine radios. It...
The Cobra HH Road Trip was perfect for our use. We specifically purchased it for a road trip with our Corvette Club. Even though the magnetic antenna didn't adhere to the fiberglass body of the...
I can only speak from my own experience and that is a very good one with this handheld. I'm getting out between 4-5 miles, light weight, good controls and fairly durable.
I found the COBRA 38 WX ST CB radio to be a poor product as a replacement for an old Radio Shack CB. There is a very annoying persistent side tone at all times which appears to be affected by...
Overall, a good product, but needs a rechargeable battery pack and needs to be able to pick up and transmit at further distances. This product didn't even transmit or pick up transmission more...
Bought this for husband as a Christmas present. He has enjoyed listening to it very much. A little hard to program but he likes it. SO that's what counts. THanks
I did indeed place the order for this item from Amazon on 1/24/09. Currently it is March 2, 2009 and the item is still backordered. So far, I'm pretty unhappy regarding this. I didn't get...
I bought this last year sometime, i have it set to all the fire, ems, police, prison, school dist, just all the listed ones for my area. It picks up pretty good from far distances, I got about 15...
I purchased this scanner on 09/25/08. When I tested it out, it had very poor digital reception. So I sent it to Uniden to have it repaired. I should have returned it to the place of purchase...
My experience with this scanner was mostly negative. The handbook is like reading hyroglyphics. My scanner was defective with all the promised pre-programmed frequencies missing. No matter how...
Had the radio for a week. Have read reviews saying don't buy this radio because am pref sub par but i can get all local stations fine plus has frs radio works as good as my 15 mile frs.And fm not...
As a portable VHF radio, this product is the best. Compact,excellent range, and outstanding clarity. I am an ocean kayaker who was looking for a safety item ( to satisfy my wife) this product...
This is the best radio you will ever own. It is a great hand held and moble radio. The functions are easy to use, and the radio veary derable. I recomend that you buy an external antenna if you...
Capable of accessing 40 CB channels and 10 NOAA weather channels, Midland 75-822 is designed like classic CB handsets with the push-to-talk button on the side. But the unit also includes a backlit...
i was looking for a good cheap handheld cb and i found the midland 75-785. the radio works really good. i have a cb in my truck but wanted one for the house. the reception of the handhedl isnt as...
Picked up one for the kayak and it worked great until it got dunked in 2ft of water for 10 seconds. Came up dead. Set it back to Cobra and they sent a replacement witch didn't work out of the...
Great for kayak fishing (if you are careful with it)
This is a short-term review, as it has only been in use for less than a month. I also have a Uniden MHS350 radio, which is a much heavier duty VHF radio that this Cobra model.
If your a NASCAR fan, this is one of the best scanners out there. Plan on paying $40-60 more for it is you wait to get one at the track. Easy to use and one really nice feature is it displays...
My scanner did not produce enough volume to hear above the race engines even with my headset. My old radio shack scanner is much louder. But my buddy bought the same scanner and he says that...
People say our society has becomed "dumbed down": you know, Samuel L. Clemens' name has been stricken from library files because too few people know he is "Mark Twain"; rather than buy components,...
My husband is an audiophile, and laughed at me when I said I wanted this CD/radio. Unlike him, I don't really care that much about sound quality. Not that it doesn't matter to me at all--it's just...
I had high hopes for this based on other reviews. I was looking for a small weather alert radio for camping with the Boy Scouts so we could be alerted to thunderstorms. Out of the package, this...
No frills weather radio. Does what it should-gives noaa weather.-if you don't need rainfall amounts in Hong Kong or temperature in Poland-get this radio. Plain, simple and easy to use.
Radio has a noisy and loud static background, not suitable for listening. Perhaps it's due to the N.J. Shore area. Also the single knob is not appreciated, diffiuclt to use.
The radio produces good quality sound despite its small size. The controls are a little strange, there being but one knob-button on the radio itself. The remote is pretty straight forward with...
I have purchased four HD table-top radios and this is the one with the best reception (I have placed them all side by side, the Sony, the Accurian (Radio Shack), the iLuv). I think the people...
Editors' Note: The rating on this review has been lowered from due to changes in the competitive marketplace. HD Radio is the new digital broadcasting standard that has been available in the U.S....
This Sangean H201 radio is much better than the Sony "Tap Tunes" shower radio we replaced with it. First, this Sangean has a good, clear midrange; this is especially important for voice...
This was the perfect radio for our family. Great reception. However, a year and a week after purchase, it no longer works at all (just buzzes). For the amount of money I paid for this, I wanted...
It's a nice radio but not quite what I expected. I thought it was going to be a bit smaller, especially since it's for the shower. Also, the sound of the radio seems a bit muffled.
Don't buy this radio for a good AM tuner. It looks like a digital tuner, but it may be a simulated digital tuner, or a really bad digital tuner. The crosstalk (overlap) of stations can run as much...
I have done a good bit of searching before getting this emergency radio. There are many choices out there for this type of radio. After reading many reveiws I picked the Midland 102. "Features"...
This item was purchased for the sole purpose of "Weather Alert"feature. The instructions for this one important attribute were very brief and incomplete. I will have to wait until we are under...
Convenience, performance, HDFM at a reasonable price
This is an AM/FM/FM Stereo/ XD Radio tuner, but I can't report on the AM section because I don't use it. The XDRF1HD it easy to set up; the included instructions are brief because there isn't much...
The main reason I bought this tuner is for receiving commercial-free FM radio on sub-channels. I have found a few that I really like, which may convince me to keep this gadget. Hope they keep...
The Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio Tuner does not come with the required batteries for the remote or the RCA audio cables needed to connect it to the sound system.
After years of being priced as luxury items, tabletop HD Radios finally dipped below $200 and even $100 in 2008. However, most of those models still didn't actually sound very good--either the...
Editors' note : The GDI-IR1000 is nearly identical to the GDI-IR2000 , except the GDI-IR1000 lacks a remote and an auxiliary input. Otherwise, the units are identical, and therefore the reviews are...
