Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The CB radio has been around since the 1930s. To see that the Citizens Band is still being produced and sold is testament to its reliability and usefulness. Cobra has brought back their version of the CB with this 29-LTD. They've made some nice improvements to the CB you might have used a decade or two ago. Key improvements to this radio include a front panel microphone connector which makes in-dash installation a cinch. Cobra has also provided a nine foot microphone cord so that you keep in touch from a good distance, whether you're located in a truck cab or dispatch office. The final noteworthy improvement are tactile controls for safer, and more accurate, functionality. Other features include: antenna warning indicator, SWR calibration, instant Channel 9, PA capability, dimmer control, switchable noise blanker and RF gain. In a time of seemingly un-ending technological advances, it's nice to see something we created back in the late 1930s is still alive and kicking.

What's in the Box
One 29-LTD CB radio, nine foot microphone cord, transceiver bracket, microphone bracket, DC power cord, a user's manual, and a two year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best AM CB out there!, August 24, 2004

There are a lot of CB radios out there and the Cobra 29 LTD Classic has stood the test of time. It comes with the traditional chrome detailed brushed aluminum faceplate that really shows off this radio. But the true quality is in the radio itself. I have owned plenty of CBs in the past 30 years including some top-end AM/sideband CBs as well as a few export radios, and as far as a straight AM 40 channel CBs, this is one that really shines above the others. The most impressive features in this radio are its sensitivity in receiving, even while the Noise-Blanker and/or Automatic Noise Limmiter circuits are engaged. And these circuits actually eliminate static and engine-generated noise...unlike some other radios. Overall, the 29LTD Classic is perhaps the best inexpensive AM CB out there!

This CB has been considered one of the best for years, and rightfully so. When you get a strong signal, the speaker is loud at full and clear through the volume range. That, I did not expect.

The CB also calibrates well to your antenna. Originally I got bad SWR and reception, but I fixed the antenna and got 1:1.2 across all channels. Eventually I'll mount it differently than I do now for better reception.

I am very pleased with this CB. In my opinion it is better than others I have had that were much more expensive.
