Easy to install. Compact and does not take up much space. Mounting for under dash is not that hard. Easy to use and set up.
Nice CB
Well worth the money and is really nice and compact. Built an overhead enclosure for it in my hotrod pickup and it really worked out nice.
Works, but quality control needs to be better
My first unit had bad popping noises that came from a bad microphone connector on the unit. The 2nd unit I received did not have this problem, but when power is applied it starts on channel 33, the first unit was channel 9 which is what it should start on per the manual. So I really feel you could have some issue that is minor that your unit is not perfect.

great for the price
Midland 1001Z 40 Channel CB with Channel 9 Switch and PA Got this 3/17/08 and havent used it much but so far works great.I would recommend this to someone looking for a CB..
Good radio with such a price
The radio is over all good with such a low price. The broadcasting distance is about 5 miles on high way. All the channels are reset to channel 9 if you disconnect the power. That means by connecting the radio's power wire to the fuse or battery, when you turn off the car's engine, the power is still there and enables the radio to remember the channel you were using. By turning on/off the radio with the knob, the channel remains the same as you used before.
If you connect your cb radio's power to the cigarette liter, when turning off your car's engine, no power supply is there anymore and your radio will forget the channel you were using. Your radio will reset all the channel to channel 9.
