  • Highly recommend
Style: HH50WXST
The Cobra HH50WXST is an excellent handheld CB radio! The range is impressive for a handheld unit, and the signal stays clear even in challenging areas. The WX/ST (weather and storm) feature is a game-changer, keeping me updated on alerts while on the road. The design is compact and rugged, fitting comfortably in my hand and easy to carry. Battery life is solid, and the controls are intuitive, even for first-time users. Whether for road trips, off-roading, or emergency prep, this radio delivers reliable performance every time. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Love the NOAA weather radio!!!
Style: HH50WXST
This unit works great right out of the box. Paid $77 in April 2023 for the unit without the magnet mount antenna. I really like there are 10 weather channels, I pick up 2 of them in NE Atlanta, GA. The scan feature works really great in conjunction with the adjustable squelch. It takes 9 AA batteries or use the included 12v adapter. It also has a nifty button that lets you cycle between Ch 9, 19 and back to all channels. The backlight is pleasing to the eye, and there is a side light button that lets you engage the light after it cycles off. Lots of odd negative reviews written by people claiming they wasted their money on a dead on arrival unit, but Amazon offers free returns on this so what are they crying about ? I have an external magnetic mount full whip antenna that with an adapter really hauls in CB’s from far away, but when I’m on trips I prefer using the included rubber ducky antenna to listen in on truckers I know are in my immediate vicinity. The portability of this thing is great and I can’t reiterate enough how incredible the NOAA weather radio is. What’s also strange to me is the stripped down version of this without the radio scan feature and without the NOAA weather radio is sold at LOVE’s truck stops for $69. Why would anyone want that version ? Why doesn’t LOVE’s carry this version ? This is a real winner for the price and portability and truthfully I’d pay the $77 just to have the NOAA feature only, the fact I also get a functional 40 channel CB with the ability to transmit at 4 watts is unreal. ... show more

  • disappointing performance
Style: HH50WXST
The radio appears well built and designed when it arrived. Being an avid SWL listener I got it to listen to the truckers on the interstate but when powered up with an AC adapter the noise level was over 7 to 8 on the signal meter and I never received a single signal. I switched to battery and the noise level dropped to less than 1 on the signal meter but still no signals. For comparison I tried my Tecsun PL-660 with a 5 foot wire plugged into the antenna jack and got a fair amount of traffic.Replaced the stock antenna with a 1.5 dbi antenna ant the radio came to life but the sensitivity was slightly less than the PL-660. With the 1.5 dbi antenna on the PL-660 it totally outperformed th HH-50 on receive which tells me the radio is hard of hearing when a portable SW radio can totally out perform on reception. For transmission I was unable to find any local people to respond. As a whole with the 2800 mah is does work and I am able to listen to the truckers about 2 miles away. With a good antenna it seems to perform satisfactory. Since the glory days of CB are oer there are much less on the bands and harder to find anyone. ... show more

  • This is the best f'n handheld ever
Style: HH50WXST
Are you an average road tripper? Are you a dude going across the country? Are you a person who sees a bunch of traffic and wonders what lane to get into because of a big accident that's 5+ miles away while on the highway? Ever want to tell a trucker that their stuff is flying off in order to save a life? I have. Ever wanna talk to a trucker and see what their life is like? They'll talk a dog off a meatwagon. If you said yes to any of these questions you need this radio. I convinced my buddy to buy one. We live in Massachusetts, he was on a mountain and got to Chicago! Before I had my professional CB installed in my 18 wheeler at my job, I had this. This thing got me 5+ miles of communication which is freaking huge on a handheld. I haven't found a better handheld CB in my life. Once I let my friend borrow it to get from mass to Florida. It never returned. He called me saying it saved his rear end about 6-10 times all because he could hear what other have to say. I should probably call him and get that back.... I keep this in my truck as a quickie unit. Also good to use as a tester unit and make sure your regular equipment is working. If you ever wondered how so many accidents happen on the road it's because of zero communication. Hop onto channel 19 when you're on the highway. This company failed when they didn't hire me to advertise this. Oh did I mention this takes AA batteries? Buy some rechargeable batteries and call it a day. What's gonna happen when cell towers go down? I speak from experience, it's happened to me personally. THIS RADIO CAN HELP. ... show more

  • Simply doesn't work
Style: HH50WXST
A friend and I bought these to communicate with each other off-roading in our Jeeps. When I first picked up the box I thought there'd been some kind of mistake because it was way too light. I expected to open it and find the wrong item in the box. It was this, the CB in a plastic blister pack like you'd see hanging from a peg at the end of a store isle. That should have been my first clue. The 9 AA batteries you have to put in it weigh more than the radio, and it's seemed to me over the years that light electronics are bad electronics. We tried testing communications, and after verifying via text that we were on the same channel and weren't squelched to death, we had nothing, no communication from houses roughly 200 feet apart. We walked outside to get away from the admittedly harsh wifi interference, and we could finally start to hear each other when we were effectively line-of-site. Maybe 50' apart. Out on the road it was just as bad. Literally the radios didn't work unless we were practically right next to each other. The Jeeps could be within sight of each other on open highway, but by the time we were more than 100' feet apart there was no communication. Zero. Off-roading they were no use. No warnings from the lead Jeep, no requests for stop from the trailing one, we could never talk to each other unless we were close enough to just shout. Don't buy this CB, I've had little $20 UHF "walkie talkies" that worked lightyears better. Very disappointed. ... show more

Fair at best, used on a drive from OH. to FL. The range is modest at best... lot of money, I expected better performance. I also invested in a quality antenna.
