Midland's top-of-the-range CB! features PA (public Address) & lots of other useful facilities Traditional "swing needle" signal meter and large backlit LCD display which you can switch to show either channel number or frequency readout.
Nicely built and works well, the earlier version of this was voted "CB Best Buy" in LRO (Land Rover Owner magazine) test in April 2002
Our Opinion : The Midland 248 Excel is an excellent set - top grade components used, well designed, good facilities which are well implemented. The new Surface Mount Technology board design should give the unit a long life in tough environments... a worthy flagship to the Midland 2015 range of CB's!
"Noise Killer" ESP squelch - advanced squelch allows you to hear people, even when below the squelch level
Large LCD display can be switched to show either channel number or frequency plus band and function indicators
PA facility - great for recovery situations and attracting help - needs PA horn under bonnet
Analogue "swinging needle" shows received signal and transmitted power to a higher accuracy than LCD displays
5 Instant access memory channels that you can program with your most frequently used channels
Dual Watch facility allows monitoring of 2 channels at once
Scan facility sweeps the current band looking for busy channels
EMG button for instant access to the emergency channel (09)
Last Channel Recall (LCR) button takes you back to the last channel you were talking on
Rotary controls for Mic Gain and RF Gain (these should be turned up fully clockwise in normal operation)
Extension speaker output socket on the back
AM/FM switch works as UK/EU band change switch when in UK mode
