Great video! Very informative.

was in Barstow at the truckstop did buy 2 off those,What we use now in the Netherlands😁

Whats a good antenna to use with this radio on a ford pickup ?

I scored one at a yardsale for $5

Thanks man!

Good video

Thanks alot.keep it up

Waste of money and time

I bought a 102 whip antenna and a coax cable for a 2005 jeep wrangler. The coax cable had a hot wire and ground wire at the antenna end. Both were attached correctly to the antenna mount. However, it did not work. (When I disconnected the ground wire from the mount and held it in my hand it worked. Does the mount itself also have to be grounded to the vehicle somewhere? Thank you.

WTF!? Were you filming this on a ship during stormy weather? That POS camera you used, introduced considerable distortions during movements, I hope you've upgraded since then.

How do you turn up gain while truring down squelch with one knob for both? Is that not an option on this radio?

You do such a good job, I have my radio coming tomorrow so you saved me a lot of trial and error, thanks.

Finally instructions on how to Tune my antenna with Rings. I took those off thinking they were some kind of mounting rings. By loosening the Allen nut I raised and lowered the antenna to no avail. I was frustrated until seeing this video. Thanks!

How do you test a ng antenna tip to coupling it shows it has continuity?

Is there anything special that you have to do to use a dynamic mic.

How is plugged in?

😂

Great video! Thanks for sharing some of the functions for certain buttons operations. I purchased my Midland (exact same as yours) a few years ago and was tinkering around with it today. I purchased extra rechargeable AA batteries and works fine. Im trying to figure out how to get a better signal reception/ transmission from my apartment which is partially underground i have my 4 foot vehicle CB radio antenna hooked up to connector but only get best reception in day time hours with almost zero transmission, i did radio check on several channels with no response. Anyway, i might have one option, i have a landline old mountain Bell wall hook up . Can i use that as an alternative antenna? Im figuring it not live because i would need to activate service, but the line runs probably More than 40 yards ( 130 feet) to telephone pole. Has anyone tried this, or would that work? Thanks.

Thanks for a great video - dumb question: I’m guessing I need to tune my antenna because my antenna checks out good for continuity in all three meter connection tests? It’s a basic mag mount antenna with spring near base, upper is a solid wire

RF Gain has nothing to do with power output dumbass. Smh…

С обикновен кабел проводник 3 метра хоризонтално разположен и заземяване може ли да работи радиостанция на СВ диапазон?

“Made in China” 🖕🏻

I have an idea! Let's discuss experimental antennas for CB radio

is there any way of making this into a portable base unit, that could be operated from home or vehicle with the right acessories. eg with type of portable antennae. I also need to learn about the easiest power sources. Thank you

My coax is good, going to look for video on antenna as that appears to be shorted.. both lights go red,, system was out of the truck for 25 years, no clue if people played with antenna itself, but tested coax to antenna mount and was good.. center to shield becomes shorted when antenna is connected..some wideband waterproof whip with fiberglass looking end that works mint last time used...

This is a good video thanks

so there is no SSB on this model ?

Do you still make the 24 inch BNC whips for handhelds please?

I bought the cobra 29 ltd new and I find the receiver lacking in audio on am not impressed with the radio

One important thing you missed is to put the multimeter on the ohm test.

My 520 xl arrived today! Thank you for the detailed review, I can’t wait to set up this little beast.😊 🇺🇸

Alright !! Found your channel. Great ad for your business. I Hit all the buttons, and look forward to watching more of your videos, - Dirty Diaper 21 S.C.

What is the rang ?

My first radio

Did anyone notice how easy it is to scratch the screen. I bought a brand new one. I noticed a smudge on the screen, I attempted to clean it, but scratched it with my nail, unintentionally. They need to use a better scree.

Is this good for a semi ??

Do you need an antenna for it to work

I just purchased this and am learning, thank you

The 6 pin to 4 pin adapter works on these, I have the previous version of that radio without the weather channels I couldn’t find the 6 pinc mic but I had the adapter so I just got a regular 4 pin mic it works but can’t use Bluetooth.

Just got 1 of these, your video helped exponentially. Thanks!

brilliant video

Nice video, I specialize in Strykers. Best 10/11/12 meter radio on the market. Waving from tech bench👋🏻

Just purchased one of these and it does not have the PA feature. Wth?

I read that antenna should be tuned before transmitting , how do you do that ?

Only a tuner should be the last thing in line so as to show amp output, you will need an SWR meter to measure the radio and a tuner to match the antenna to everything else. Suggestions vary according to what you are using, If you want to play with the big boys you need a SWR meter and an antenna tuner to go with that amplifier.

Hello... I looked everywhere if the PL was smaller than the PL259, watching the video I could tell that it is the standard PL259... I bought it immediately. THANK YOU. Greetings from Costa Rica.

Definitely get a radio and everything else needed from CB World, I did and I even had my brother get his radio from them, they are fantastic yes indeed.

Helpful information, so thanks for posting.

I own the SR955HPC (version II), and asked CB World to send it to Tiny's CB Shop. There, he did the 11 Meter conversion along with a full peaked & tune job. Tiny's did a great job with it and kept me in the loop throughout the time he had it. By that I mean that I had no problem contacting him. "Tiny" is the guy who owns the shop and does the work himself, (he's been doing CB & Ham radio work for well over 35 years). CB World referred me to him when I bought the radio from them. Tiny made me feel welcome over the phone and he would give me all the time I wanted to ask & answer questions I had. I didn't feel like I was getting rushed off the phone and I could tell he knew what he was talking about. I don't know if it's a misprint but the radio's box labels it as an "SR955HPC", not "SR955HP". (Maybe the "HPC" is for the version 2?) I've owned several CB (11-Meter) radios in the last 50 years. However, I started gaining a much more serious understanding of them when I started working as a professional driver back in 1985. I drove OTR/48 for a little over 6.5 years and the radio I owned (and took from truck to truck whenever I changed carriers that I worked for), was a reliable Cobra 29. I eventually installed it in my personal vehicle, but I noticed a loss in transmit/receive distances after a short while. The SWR was fine, but maybe because my personal vehicles weren't as tall as a Kenworth, I just couldn't talk very far anymore. It was probably my antennae choice and/or position. I don't know, but finally, (and years later) I sold my vehicle and bought a new 2022 Jeep G WK. A month later, I bought the SR955 and a Stryker SR-A10MM Magnetic Mount antenna to match. Since then, I've been told many times that my transmission was "wall to wall and treetop tall", (LOL, do drivers even say that anymore?). Most of the time, I wouldn't have to ask how I was getting out! The other radio folks would jump in and asked what I was talking on and tell me how well it was transmitting. After I told them what model I was using, I must of heard a dozen operators reply with something like; "Yea, I was looking at those and everyone who had one sounded great. I'm going to have to buy one in the next week or two!" In fact, I've lost count of how many times I was driving to the local store (in Houston) and I would wind up talking to someone in Main, Connecticut, Kentucky, etc., etc. Most were blown away that I was in a mobile! They thought I was on a home base station. Of course, it was all on Skip, but I was able to stay with most of them for the entire ride to, and from the store, (40 minutes easy). In fact, one person claimed he was talking to me from Hawaii! I don't know if that's where he really was, but I would've guessed he was only 10 miles away. I have a Road King 56B mic on it and that SR-A10MM mag-base antenna works great. It's easy to unscrew from the base when I need to go to the car wash. When I screw it back on, the SWR is exactly what it was before I removed it, (about .2/.3 at best and .6 at worse). Great radio and great service! Well worth the money! FWIW Rich

I have one I did the conversion my self for 11 meters Cb band great radio I shoot a lot of skip many compliments a little pricey
