2025! Checking this out, have an old cobra

I have 2 of those and like them. One I have had for years.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a CB installed in a single din car radio slot - that would be wild though

Awesome video!

I’m selling mine for 20 dollars 😅😅

I have a cobra 29 from when I drove 18 wheelers over the road. However, I lost 80 percent of my sight and I was wondering if there is a channel/frequency announcer for a CB. This would come in real handy when I am turning the dial and I forget what frequency that I am on, Great web site by the way.

I have one for sale

Just got one of these, but I got the chrome edition with AM/FM

Cobra 29 LTD Classic is a great radio. Works pretty well with. Road King Mick..🚛

We miss a new edition of this successful CB radio for Europe, the COBRA 29-LX EU is sold out everywhere 🙏😌

so this unit has a built in speaker?

Where is it made

😍📻📻📻📻📻

Why does all wilson 5000 antennas have conntuity between the center pin and the outside sheild

Better than a Uniden 😅😅😅

138 xlr 😂😂😂

😢😢😢

Junkyard dog 😅😅

Thank you

Great video! Very informative.

was in Barstow at the truckstop did buy 2 off those,What we use now in the Netherlands😁

Whats a good antenna to use with this radio on a ford pickup ?

I scored one at a yardsale for $5

Thanks man!

Good video

Thanks alot.keep it up

Waste of money and time

I bought a 102 whip antenna and a coax cable for a 2005 jeep wrangler. The coax cable had a hot wire and ground wire at the antenna end. Both were attached correctly to the antenna mount. However, it did not work. (When I disconnected the ground wire from the mount and held it in my hand it worked. Does the mount itself also have to be grounded to the vehicle somewhere? Thank you.

WTF!? Were you filming this on a ship during stormy weather? That POS camera you used, introduced considerable distortions during movements, I hope you've upgraded since then.

How do you turn up gain while truring down squelch with one knob for both? Is that not an option on this radio?

You do such a good job, I have my radio coming tomorrow so you saved me a lot of trial and error, thanks.

Finally instructions on how to Tune my antenna with Rings. I took those off thinking they were some kind of mounting rings. By loosening the Allen nut I raised and lowered the antenna to no avail. I was frustrated until seeing this video. Thanks!

How do you test a ng antenna tip to coupling it shows it has continuity?

Is there anything special that you have to do to use a dynamic mic.

How is plugged in?

😂

Great video! Thanks for sharing some of the functions for certain buttons operations. I purchased my Midland (exact same as yours) a few years ago and was tinkering around with it today. I purchased extra rechargeable AA batteries and works fine. Im trying to figure out how to get a better signal reception/ transmission from my apartment which is partially underground i have my 4 foot vehicle CB radio antenna hooked up to connector but only get best reception in day time hours with almost zero transmission, i did radio check on several channels with no response. Anyway, i might have one option, i have a landline old mountain Bell wall hook up . Can i use that as an alternative antenna? Im figuring it not live because i would need to activate service, but the line runs probably More than 40 yards ( 130 feet) to telephone pole. Has anyone tried this, or would that work? Thanks.

Thanks for a great video - dumb question: I’m guessing I need to tune my antenna because my antenna checks out good for continuity in all three meter connection tests? It’s a basic mag mount antenna with spring near base, upper is a solid wire

RF Gain has nothing to do with power output dumbass. Smh…

С обикновен кабел проводник 3 метра хоризонтално разположен и заземяване може ли да работи радиостанция на СВ диапазон?

“Made in China” 🖕🏻

I have an idea! Let's discuss experimental antennas for CB radio

is there any way of making this into a portable base unit, that could be operated from home or vehicle with the right acessories. eg with type of portable antennae. I also need to learn about the easiest power sources. Thank you

My coax is good, going to look for video on antenna as that appears to be shorted.. both lights go red,, system was out of the truck for 25 years, no clue if people played with antenna itself, but tested coax to antenna mount and was good.. center to shield becomes shorted when antenna is connected..some wideband waterproof whip with fiberglass looking end that works mint last time used...

This is a good video thanks

so there is no SSB on this model ?

Do you still make the 24 inch BNC whips for handhelds please?

I bought the cobra 29 ltd new and I find the receiver lacking in audio on am not impressed with the radio

One important thing you missed is to put the multimeter on the ohm test.

My 520 xl arrived today! Thank you for the detailed review, I can’t wait to set up this little beast.😊 🇺🇸
