Ps I agree with skywalker on the OFF setting. My cb only gets turned on at shippers who require it and occasionaly at traffic jams and accidents.

i think the louder the better, and also try adjusting the echo to annoying. just my opinion.

I got the Uniden 78 Elite with weatherband. When I was shopping around for a radio, I was looking at both Cobra and Uniden. The weatherband was a must have, as trying to get weather when you wanted it on the AM/FM and even satillite was difficult. Now I just flip the switch over to WX and instant current and forcast conditions. Helps alot to have this feature available, especially in the winter months.
The radio has worked very well for me and its about 4yrs old now. Have had no problems with it.
