With the advent of cell phones and the Internet, the heyday of CB radios slowly but inevitably came to an end. Still, they are not totally dead and gone because they are quite an effective and efficient means of communication for some people. A business with a fleet of cars for rent or taxis, for instance, can certainly benefit from them. Truckers use them to communicate with each other, and so can private persons. While traveling, a cell phone will allow you to call your family and friends back home, but a CB radio will allow you to get in touch with fellow CB radio users in the place you’re headed, thus meeting new friends.
If you think you have use for a CB radio in your car, check out the Midland 1001Z 2-Way CB Radio. It is a 4-watt radio with 40 channels that is suited for both beginners and experts. A PLL circuitry that is controlled by an integrated microprocessor guarantees precise tuning. An advance squelch control minimizes background noise, while an RF gain dial adjusts reception sensitivity range.
The radio features an instant Channel 9 switch. This is the emergency channel that is monitored by the authorities so that in times of distress, you only have to push a single button to make your SOS. It also features a digital power meter indicating the strength of incoming signals as well as the radio’s own output power. A large LED display is mounted on the left side of the radio indicating in high-intensity light the tuned channel.
The Midland 1001Z 2-Way CB Radio can also be used as a public address or PA system. You only need to connect it to a PA speaker.
The unit comes with mounting brackets and is easily installed in most cars, SUVs, pick-up trucks, or RVs.
