Howdy folks.

Last weekend I was stuck on the highway for over an hour while local authorities pulled over every car heading out of town for the long weekend looking for drunks and booze. I decided that if I'd have had a CB these kinds of things might be avoidable in the future.

With that in mind I picked up a Midland 75-822. It was cheap and the fact that it's convertible for hand held or in car use was too good an offer to pass on as a CB is handy to have for SAR work sometimes.

Have any of you used this model? Did I buy a lemon? Any tips or tricks I should know about?

Thanks.
