CBs are practical safety and information devices, but their bulk usually relegates them to being installed in pickups and other large vehicles. With Midland's 77-104XL, all of your excuses for adding a CB to your vehicle evaporate. Although it comes with a convenient full-size microphone, a standard jack for an external antenna, and other features found on larger units, this CB radio measures less than 5 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and 1.5 inches thick. That's small enough to find a home in almost any vehicle.
Installing the 77-104XL requires some familiarity with your car's wiring, and although the included instructions are well written, the novice will want to enlist the help of a professional to avoid shorting out any part of the vehicle's electrical system. The 77-104XL comes with a mounting bracket, and you should be prepared to drill some small holes in the bottom of your dash to install it.
In our tests of the 77-104XL, the unit performed well when connected to a large Midland antenna that we were also testing. The full-size microphone was easier to handle than the miniature ones that come with similar portable radios, and the sound quality of the 77-104XL was as good as could be expected from its aging AM technology. The large rubber-coated knobs that are used to tune channels, adjust volume, and control squelch were very easy to use.
The rear of the 77-104XL has two jacks for connecting an external speaker and a PA speaker, and a switch on the front let us easily switch between CB and PA modes. Another switch on the front enables or disables the built-in ANL technology, which can reduce static, although we never had a need for the switch. A bright green LCD displays the currently tuned channel and is flanked by other LEDs that illuminate when you transmit or receive.
Novice users will enjoy the 77-104XL's quality and performance, and advanced users will enjoy all the extra features Midland has included. Basically, this is a full-featured CB squeezed into a relatively small and attractive package, and anyone thinking about permanently adding a CB radio to their vehicle should seriously consider this capable alternative. --T.

Pros:
- Compact design
- Many features for the price
- Controls are clearly labeled and easy to use

Amazon.com Product Description
Very small size and super-high performance mark the Midland 77-104XL, an advanced version of Midland's popular 77-104 mobile CB radio. Like its predecessor, the 77-104XL packs all the punch of larger, dash-mounted units but is more versatile and user-friendly.Performance highlights include a "last channel used" memory circuit, public address capability, and full legal maximum power output with a generous reserve. Enhanced modulation results in outstanding talk power, while a switchable ANL delivers better noise control.
Housing the superior performance package is a rugged metal cabinet with a high-tech Euro- design front panel that will enhance any vehicle's interior. Some other notable exterior features are an improved full-size microphone with a four-pin screw-on mike jack, a bold, bright green LED display, and rubber-capped knobs for precise, nonslip control. Also standard is a handy detachable DC power cord.
Together, the advanced engineering and user-friendly design are what make the 77-104XL excellent.
