Digital camera reviews of Midland 1001Z 2-Way CB Radio
Digital camera Review: Gret little radio
Summary: 5 Stars
Small strong and has a gain control. Fits real nice in the car and is light weight. Nice strong commercial velcro and you wont need the mounting bracket nor will you have to drill any holes. I bought two.Digital camera Review: Great Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
Radio works great. I read other reviews complaining about it changing to channel 9 when you turn it off. If you wire it so that it's hot all the time and just turn it off whith the knob, that don't happen. No complaints at all!!Digital camera Review: Best compact CB out there
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used the 510xl and have owned a few different cobra 19's (including the newest version). This got rid of the funky squelch issues that the newest version of the cobra 19 show (it pops whenever it looses or gains signal and that digital RX/TX meter is terrible), and it hands down beats the previous version as well. The squelch works much better then even some high end radios, and the gain is a really appreciated feature, especially at this price point. They can be found at most truck stops, so that's handy as well. It seems to be much less sensitive to alternator noise then some previous vehicles, but that could just be this particular installation. Every cobra I've ever hooked up wasn't happy until it was wired directly to the battery. I wired this one to a free switched accessory port for a quick hookup on a weekend offroading trip, and I won't be switching it, it's that quiet. Squelch turned up about 1/4 of the way is dead silent with the jeep running.
I'm very impressed, this has made a cobra man switch. Would definitely buy again, even at the $40 the truckstop charged for it.
Digital camera Review: Good radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the Uniden 510XL, two of them and they both stank. The transmit audio was terrible, and the mike was a flimsy piece of junk. After spending money on antennas, and trying in vain to get a decent SWR match with the Uniden. I gave up. I took a chance on the Midland. Not only is it cheaper, it is a much better radio. The mike is heavier, the mounting bracket is better, and it includes rubber washers for vibration dampening. I hooked it up to a lil wil antenna and got great signal reports without even tuning the antenna. It is a much better radio than the Uniden 510. This radio even has an rf gain control along with squelch control. It is an excellent bargain. I have been a ham for over ten years. Digital camera Review: Good simple radio.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because it was much cheaper than the comparable Cobra product I was looking at. This has all the features I need for off roading. I paired it with a Firestik 4' antenna and have been able to hear chat from truckers several miles away. It also has a PA speaker output, which I didn't notice initially.
