I wouldn't have an issue with it if they would have stayed on specific channels like 6 where that normally is done.  But they're taking over all the frequencies now, and the most annoying one is 19 where local chatter should be done.  Plus a lot of these guys bleed onto neighboring frequencies on top of it.  Reading through difference forums or websites a lot of people feel the same to the point they don't even use their CB much anymore.  Who wants to listen to Mud Duck for an entire road trip?

Waffled between this radio and the Radioddity CS47.  Ended up with the Radioddity to save money.  It is...ok.  Hindsight would have preferred the Cobra.

That said, I've taken my CB out of the car anyway.  Some of these illegal overpowered radio guys left channel 6 that they normally populate, and have taken over channel 19.  There's almost zero local chatter anymore because few people have the ability to break in over those guys.

New stock Midland MXT275 does have wideband set for the repeater channels.  

I just scrolled the channels up (or down).  So once I hit channel up or down past the last pre-programmed channels (1 or 30)  it automatically jumps to the weather frequencies.  This was pre-programming/out of the box.
