Can't use regular CB power cord

Unfortunately this thing doesn't connect to the power cord like a regular CB radio. This is usually a three-pin connection. It's different, so if you want to use a cigarette lighter socket like a lot of people do, especially with a small compact radio, you can't. You have to program it. It really defeats the purpose of having a small compact radio. I loved this radio so much it was perfect except for this one. I'm returning it and going to another brand.

Pros
  • Nicely
Cons
  • Reliability

jeep radio Replaces my Cobra 75WX

Replaces my (still working) COBRA 75 WXST radio with this radio. Both my wife and I found the Cobra microphone's very large size and unusual shape difficult to use. This radio is the traditional size and shape of a handheld microphone. I find the controls on this radio easier to use. The noise cancellation on this radio is better than the Cobra. I love that you can choose the background color so I can match it with the dashboard light color. Unless you're as bothered by the Cobra mic as I am, I

  • handy thing

UNIDEN, WHAT DO YOU OFFER?

Hello, I am 53 years old and have been in the ham radio, electronics, broadcasting and audio engineering industries all my life. I am very familiar with the basics and details of a mobile setup. I wanted to present my background and experience in the opening sentence of this review. Despite reading some negative reviews before purchasing this setup, I persevered. First I installed the NMO lip mount and coax cable. I then powered this unit from the same power supply that powers my 2m/440cm ham…

Pros
  • many will do
Cons
  • boring packaging

Same experience as other 1 star reviewers until I got a good antenna

bought this radio because it seemed perfect for my JL - I could install it out of sight in a limited car space and it had all the features I wanted. When I first set it up with the mic extender attached, I got no transmit power and nothing but a beep from the handwheel. With it off the hook and the mic plugged directly into the device, I had full transmit power punctuated by intermittently varying squeak frequencies (depending on how tight the mic cable was). I was sure I had a well matched…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • some little things

So far very happy with CB radios & scanners

I haven't had this radio very long but so far it's working as I've come to expect from Uniden. I put an SWR meter on it and got 1.2:1 on channels 1 and 40 and 1:1 on channel 19 using a Hustler magnetic antenna. The power meter shows an output voltage of 4 volts when the microphone is simply switched on with no voice transmission. Slightly higher when speaking. I like its small size, it fits between the seat and console in my Subaru. After reading all the negative reviews, it seemed to me that…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Not everything fits

I own and run a reputable CB shop, must read the reputable review below.

This radio is a heap of junk. I thought it would be a great alternative to the comparable Cobra model. The CMX560 radio was much better. However, this CMX760 is not a good radio receiver. This radio seems to have many faults. Uniden does not help with repairs. I remember when Uniden was the best in terms of both quality and service. It's not like that anymore. I like the radio quality. There are many screws that hold the intestines together. The design looks well thought out. The quality is…

Pros
  • sparkles
Cons
  • there are problems

Radio did not work as described

I bought the radio in June, unfortunately I was only able to install it last week, installation was easy. The radio does not transmit more than a few meters if it wants, the antenna is adjusted, the problem is that when I press the microphone the display goes blank and then stops working. I have to turn off the radio to turn the display back on. I don't see an option to return the product, probably because I've waited so long for it to be installed. I am a licensed radio amateur and know my…

Pros
  • Convenient microphone control
Cons
  • disappears

Bought for my jeep. Looks good, doesn't work.

All I can say is that as much as you love this CB (the concept and looks are amazing) DO NOT BUY IT! After installing the CB, I could hear other people but could not transmit. He made piercing noises, beeps, and other static noises. As soon as I removed the extension cord, the device worked. (Also note I had to leave my squelch on level 6) Contacted Uniden and asked for a replacement extension. But while I'm waiting for the extension cord (they said it would be 10 days), my device randomly…
