Greater than one weekFor the size and price this worked well for my application. I talk to my buddy in his expensive cb and he said I sound pretty good compared to most he has heard. This unit is worth the money.

Greater than one weekThis Cobra 19 MINI Recreational CB Radio is a nice option for a small, compact CB radio - good for off-roading or small spots. The CB Radio has a handheld mic but can also be used hands-free. The kit includes detailed instructions on using the CB radio. However it is set up to be hard-wired. Otherwise, you can buy an after-market adapter to use with a 12V cigarette lighter. You also need to add a CB antennae too. It was easy to get setup and works well. Good option for those looking for a small footprint CB. 3.5 stars.

> 3 dayThis is a great little CB radio. Installation is relatively easy, it is very simple to operate, and it works great. Makes for a little extra fun on the road.

> 3 dayIts a small cb. Does not come with a 12v plug you need to install one or hard wire it in. Thats the only reason for 3 stars. No owners manual or operating manual.

> 3 dayThis mini CB is perfect for the car as it is truly mini and can be mounted in places a larger, more typical sized radio can go. While I cant compare to a full sized, professional trucker radio, I can say that it was in fact easy to install. I attached a 12v plug so I could plug it into my cigarette lighter. It also worked well on the highway where I ws able to monitor channel 19 to find out where all the speed traps were located courtesy of the truckers. Also gives you piece of mind having a way to contact other motorists in case of an emergency. Youll need a CB antenna to use this radio. I opted for a magnetic mount as I set this up as a portable rig that I can switch to other vehicles.

20-11-2024This is a very small CB solution that works quite well. Its just best when you already have an antenna (or adapter if you plan to plug it into your 12v). We had neither, but we went into it knowing this (and knowing it didnt come with these items). It doesnt use the normal adapter for power though. We wound up buying the RoadPro RPPS-220 Platinum Series 12V 3-Pin Plug Fused Replacement CB Power Cord and simply lopped off the connector and spliced the wires together using wire connectors. It works perfectly fine using that 12v adapter and should work just as well with similar options. We have used a few different antennas but didnt quite have the right ones in our arsenal of accessories. We also knew this going into it, so we ordered coax to UHF adapters so we could use the ones we had with it. It does work, although we dont have any advice for getting it just right since we cant modify those antennas. We will have to come back at a later time when we have one we can properly match to the radio for the best performance. **If you have found our review helpful, please vote it as helpful below so we know.
