Thats one of mine, the midland one. I have a cobra 25 cb in the truck. The only annoyance is the noaa channels are not standardized and the cobra and midland have them opposite, so channel 1 one one is the frequency of channel 7 on the other smile
The cobra I bought new and it came with a little chart so I copied it for the hand held but then found the noaa web site and learned that they added several more transmitters since the chart was printed. I've found that I can pick up at least two most anywhere.
