For Christmas I got a Midland 75-822 CB. I really like this thing for offroading.... the car connection for it runs power off cigarette lighter and (more importantly) connects to an external antenna for extended range. The reason I like this is because it also comes with a battery pack; so if you're wheeling and need to get out of the vehicle but still want to communicate (say its raining and you're helping spot someone), you just put on the shorty antenna and quick connect the battery pack, then you're using it as an all inclusive handheld






Finally found a use for that storage spot in the center console!!
