Questions & Answers

This cb has already been tuned and peaked. ?

Listen to this. I've tweaked it! What do you think? Idk, maybe it's a peak and a tune. 1) He will snip off the part that only allows it to do 4 watts and add a component to bump it up to 20, 30, and As an alternative. A linear should be hooked up. As an alternative. It's best to combine the two. Just an FYI You may use the 40s or any other decade.

Is this CB capable of carrying a lot of power?

On AM mode, 4 Watts of power are consumed. The act of peeking is a joke played on people who are ignorant of its meaning. There have been too many cons in my life There are a lot of job opportunities It is possible to mod the transmitter (illegally), but it would be a significant cost. Be sure to power up your alternator and battery before you begin. You will achieve the best results (legal) by using a good antenna system for that radio service. Linears are also illegal for that radio service.

Why does the set not turn on and you smell a burning smell when it is not turned on?

Something is gravely wrong if that is the case! Make sure it is turned off and is being checked by a professional. Your vehicle or truck is on fire, and you do not want it to catch fire.

What does the dynamite knob do?

The Dynamics of Keene You can use this control to make your voice This function is similar to a built-in power mike. Normally, using this control means turning up the volume to its maximum setting. You can turn down the Dynamike if you are using a power microphone and experience squealing or distortion.

An example of parasitic battery drain is When the batteries are low, the power is always on, destroying itself
3/5

There is a constant drain on the battery of this CB radio. No matter if the switch is on or off, this appliance is always using energy. The worse part is that, when the vehicle battery gets very low, the device goes crazy (best technical description I have), and it will self destruct. This product was installed in my Jeep, which sits undriven for several days at a time, but usually gets started In addition, as the Jeep's battery was depleted, at some point, the device would constantly broadcast an audible indicator and switch off and on repeatedly. It did this even when the power switch for the cb was turned About five times, the CB would no longer function after this drain. As best as I can tell, it bricked itself of its own design. Ideally, you want to install a power shunt between this board and the power source in order to prevent the battery from draining and the board from self-destructing.

I had to return home
3/5

It was a Cobra 29 LX MAX radio that I had for about 30 days before I A big thank you to To replace it, I bought a Cobra 29 LX (no MAX). During the first week of usage (MAX model), kept blowing the 2amp inline fuse (3). There were some instances when it didn't blow a fuse but still refused to work. In my experience, the 29 LX (no MAX) model has been flawless, and I hope it will continue to be so. I did not change anything in the wiring when switching between the two models. The wiring harness that came with the MAX model was even used.

It's definitely worth checking out! Honestly, I'm not sure I will be able to handle the alarm the first time it I love it
5/5

What a great idea. (The first time we saw it it scared us. LOL) According to what I was told, that is normal behavior for a NOAA CF. Thus far, that feature has come in handy a few times. I would recommend this to everyone!.

The best CB I have ever had in the 30 years I have used Cobras, the 29EX Radio has more features and built in SWR to set in the antenna, the weather station changed the screen color significantly, so you will love it
5/5

We have picked some one from 20 miles away so far. It is a work of great craftsmanship from Cobra.

Make sure the screws are tight! I lost a screw on the clamp that holds the microphone cable a month after minimal use, and subsequently the wires on the radio broke off, making the radio useless
3/5

The screws on the power cable plug became loose after minimal use, too.

Not as effective as it should be
3/5

The product has only been in my possession for three months, and already it has There is no way I can communicate with others since the connection constantly breaks. There is no way for them to hear me & The sound is not coming through to me. It would not be a purchase I would make again & There is a need to replace this part.

An issue concerning VR6 sensitivity has been identified (ANT An issue with this unit is that the ANT light is on when the switch is at or It appears that the 29 series is having a problem
3/5

Trimmer potentiometer VR6 is to blame for the issue. It is possible to find the bulletin by searching TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10057 and Cobra has a link to it. There is a detailed explanation of how to resolve the issue with the ANT warning. Since I did not have the tools as specified in the directions, I applied an intuitive approach to the information. The following are the steps I took Disconnect the CB from the power source first. 1) Remove the outer covers. 3) Reconnect the radio to a 12v power source 4) Find the VR6 between the antenna jack and the power jack on the back of the radio. It appears to be a circular dial with flat sides. Imagine that the coin is a small one 4) Turn the VR6 counter clockwise Turn the VR6 counterclockwise to the point where it It is important not to touch other circuitry while connected to the 12v power 5) Key the mic on, speak into it, then turn the VR6 clockwise until the ANT warning appears. After I attached the VR6 with a small piece of electrical tape, it was secure. the 12V power, reinstall the outer covers, and then install the As of now, I have a transmit signal strength A total of 5 on all channels 1 to 5 (I adjusted the swr with the new antenna with a swr meter before this VR* adjustment. ) Despite my best efforts, I still need to confirm range and clarity with another CB A spare tire mount is available for a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I want Wilson to The 18' Belden Coax plug is 830 Two sets of Firestik II FS 5/8 and Firestik 259/FME. It is on the trail that the real test will be conducted. You should note sensitivity of the 29 series VR6 may not have been setup correctly at the factory, AND it seems to move very easily. These factors could greatly affect sensitivity when the VR6 is knocked around on the road or trail, so the application of tape on it is recommended.
