I've had my Cobra 29 for over five years now. It's been in four different trucks, and traveled over 500,000 miles with me. Once I added two wilson antennas and a power mic, I can get out over four miles on a good night. My personal record is a line of sight 130 miles from a mountainside. I love it. I was thinking of getting a galaxy, but why? I have a great radio here.

I recently bought and installed this radio in my truck, and I have not had any problems yet!!! A few minor details are the noise blanker seems really sesitive (sometimes when it is on I do not receive any traffic) but that is about it. I enjoy Cobra products, this is my second radio (I just traded up from a 25NWXT), I have a Cobra HG2000 Antenna, and I am waiting on a Cobra Mic for my radio. So far no problems with any of it and I hope to have none down the road!!!!!

This is an excellent radio for anyone interested. I have used every function, including the PA, and it performs marvelously. The "night watch" feature is very handy, basically the entire face glows and has an adjustable intensity. I have used a few uniden's and a few other cobra CB's and this is my favorite so far.

Matched this with a "Little Wil" Wilson antenna. Low SWR across all channels with minimal calibration. Radio comes with a built-in SWR meter. A little bulky, but lots of controls to customize the radio for urban or rural areas. The backlighting is great for driving at night. I bought a cigarette lighter DC cord as well, since I move the radio between cars. The radio comes with a hard-wire kit. Speaker is loud enough, and reception/range appear to be very good. Not a sideband radio. Good classic CB with just enough controls for the low to mid-level user.

Cobra 29WXNWST NightWatch CB Radio (40-Channel)
I am an Over The Road Trucker and was lost without my C B. This is identical to the one I had and it is an excellent product. I tried others but they could not compare to the quality and performance of my Cobra CB.

Potential Pros:

Works great
High quality
Well Made
Weather And CB
Able to be calibrated
ST technology makes nearby transmissions easier to hear without messing around with squelch
knobs have a cool "old school" feel

Potential Cons:

Very Large (bigger than a car stereo)
Somewhat cheap microphone
Enthusiast features - Need to know some CB concepts to use it (not for absolute beginners)

My fiance is a truck driver and he loves this CB. I got it for a Christmas present and he could barely wait to install it. I'm very pleased.

Awesome unit, does everything!

Only drawback is if (like me), you have to have it off to your side, there are too many controls. I don't think this would bother anyone who can mount it nearby and facing them.

THE RADIO WAS JUST WHAT I WANTED, WITH THE NIGHT LIGHT & WHEATHER CHANNEL, SINCE WE DROVE AT NIGHT & CROSSING DIFFERENT STATES TO CHECK THE WHEATHER, I WAS JUST WHAT I WANTED

I shopped for a CB radio all over and found this one with Amazon.com. I couldn't be happier with it , it works like advertised. I would recommend this to anyone. Thanks
