I have had this Radio for 2 1/2 years and has worked fine, although I would suggest getting a better mic, the stock one leaves a lot to be desired. But all in all a great radio for the money!!!!

My husband and I bought this CB for our son who is a professional trucker. He said that it is a very good radio and he's well pleased with it. It has good sound quality and suits his needs very well. He plans to have a radio shop boost the signal to reach out farther, but even at the range it has now it is a great radio.

The Cobra 25 is a great little radio for the money. Its easy to operate and seems to have great ears. I had it (peaked and tuned) and an echo board installed. It sounds so good, I like it as much as my old connex 33.

I had been running cheapo radios that broke every eight months. I deiced to invest in a high-end radio. I wanted to invest in a export radio, but I only have basic knowledge about them. I deiced to get the Cobra 25LDT. It had a good price on it, not too expensive, and not to cheap. The feature that sold me on this radio was the Nightwatch feature. Per I do alot of night driving. I have this installed in my small pickup, on a cheap automotive console. (It's to big to be installed anywhere in my truck cab.) This is a very solid radio. It has tactile controls that are easily felt while driving and being able to keep your eyes on the road. Now, to the review. After I had everything wired and installed, I turned it on and did some scanning. Every channel was clear as day. ( Also do to the fact I have a HGA-2000 antenna which has perfect SWR.) The people who I was talking to said I sounded very clear. The radio looks nice, which also is a nice feature. The Nightwatch feature which looks very sweet lit up at night. Overall this is a very good radio, well worth the money your going to spend for it. Then having to buy cheap radios that constantly break.

Received my order in good time and have installed it in/on my 2006 Jeep. I mounted it on the rear of the center console. The only thing I am going to do to secure it better is make an additional bracket that will cover the existing mounting bolt/screws so it can't be removed or stolen as easy if just left the way it was installed by the instructions. It seems to work just fine. It was well worth the $100 I paid for it. Kenneth

I don't know much about CB's but purchased this one and it works great. It has all the stuff people said you would need like RF Gain. It installs in a flash, just hook up the antenna which I purchased the Cobra HG A2000 High Gear CB Antenna, you will need to buy the antenna it doesn't come with one. Also since it may be installed via a cigarette plug in it may pick up a little engine noise which is a small squeal and hardly noticeable. The unit doesn't come with the cigarette power adapter either but if you go to Radio Shack you can get this plug having screw nuts on the back where you attach the power wires and just plug it in. I guess this means it was meant for a hard wire install but that is not what I wanted.

It works very nice and has many benefits while traveling.

I have had a Cobra 25NW for some time, and my son really admired it, so I got him one for X-mas. Amazon.dot-com made it happen in plenty of time and in fine shape.
