After a trip to Maze District in Canyonlands and negotiating 30+ Inch shelves I decided to install a front facing camera. Found a wireless Wi-Fi unit on Amazon that connects to my dash mounted tablet or phone. Will be testing it out this week on a trip to the mountains.

Replaced the Midland CB radio with this Cobra 19 Mini. Not only does it take up significantly less real estate, but it has features the other one didn't. Most notably, 40 channels in both AM and FM.

Looks sweet. How good is the modulation of the small radio?

It's very good actually. Europe has had AM/FM for a long time now and Cobra actually got the US to agree to it just a couple years. Not a lot on FM at the moment (compared to AM), but then I am about 10 miles from any major road and can still pick up quite a bit. I think a good antenna is also key.

Awesome. Yes, FM in CB radio in Europe since 1978 already. And in Germany since a couple of years also 80 channels instead of 40 and since 2011 SSB is allowed on CB with 12W over here. There are still slight differences in the regulations between the individual European countries, but they are being harmonized more and more.

Enjoy the new radio.
