Midland - Alan 42 DS CB Radio Portable Transceiver, License-Free, Multi-Band for All EU Countries, Digital Squelch - Professional Transceivers AM/FM with 2-Pin Socket, Antenna, and Accessories

I really like it! You get the radio with a basic antenna which as others say is not good. This is no reflection on the radio, the CB wavelength is 11 meters so no rubber duck antenna on any CB will be any good. However if you buy a telescoping antenna at 1.2m or so for £20 you will improve it massively! It has a 6 cell pack with it for alkaline batteries and an additional 8 cell pack for it with rechargeable. The wall charger is not modern, it was designed in the days of Ni-cads and as such doesn’t ‘shut down’. You are advised in the manual to unplug it. It lasts a very long time in batteries so I simply remove them, replace and carry on. The car kit is really good. You can plug a mag mount in and you are now speaking to 10 miles plus. Really good things are AM, FM, digital squelch works well (removes static). No single side band but nothing at this price has. Great kit, just remember you need rubber duck for mates at line of sight (I wouldn’t bother - PMR like the Midland G9 pro is loads better for that), mag mount with 1-1.5m antenna (5-10 mile range) or a base station with proper antenna (20 miles plus). If you are just getting into it then this allows you to have a hand held, in car (great for this) and at home (either off batteries or with a 12V supply). I really rate it.

Good bit of kit just need to get out and about with it Comes with all you need charger for rechargeable batteries and a car adapter.

Worked well, we used it on set for communication and also at festivals. No point as a CB radio because nobody uses them anymore

Nice bit of kit, Easy to use, good accessories come with it, worth the money, I wanted a rig which did not take up much room and this one is ideal for the car or at home (only bought in case all other ways of communication are took down)

The charger with it did not work

I think it’s great, it’s not busy these days as people don’t talk anymore they use WhatsApp , there are some local people around me that are always on it so earwigging is great, the supplied antenna does the job but nothing wrong with getting a better one, throw in some rechargeable batteries and you are good to go, I’ve been told my mic isn’t great which wasn’t good to hear but I’m still happy, brings back memories from back in the day, from what I have read this is the best hand held available, looks the part also, auto squelch is great for using when auto scan is on , overall I’m happy, brownie points for the wife who bought me it, come on people let’s bring CB back

Wasn’t able to use it. The seal on the box was broken. I would like to add that I believe that it was this individual piece that was faulty. Not the model on the whole.

Really Happy with this great value for money Definitely worth a bye and the delivery on it was so fast

CB mobile complète un peu rétro mais bien pensée et efficace. Le module voiture permet de l'adapter facilement et avec un encombrement minimum. Modulation AM et FM classique mais parfaitement fonctionnel. Les 2 blocs piles sont basiques mais font le boulot également en mobile avec des accus Nimh

Parfait avec une petite antenne télescopique que j'ai acheté à un prix dérisoire j ai fait un contact radio à environ 16 km c'est parfait pour moi
