As for that radio listed on eBay...I have a real problem shelling out Big Bucks for radios sold on eBay...Been burned too many times...Thats not a bad price for a Cobra 29lx Chrome with a RFX 75 tho...Question is, will the seller back up his work if there's a problem...
Think I would check around some of the Internet shops that back their work...
Check out:
Rolling Radios
Custom CB Radio
Sparkys CB
R&R Communications
GI Joe's CB
I have bought from these shops over the years and never once had any kind of problems with the radios or their work done on them (P&T) -
I currently run a lx that's puttin out 10watt dead key and about 75 watts max. Swamp dog at exit 42 on I-40 in the train caboose fixed mine up for me

nshore harleyguy Thanks this.

A CB shop in a caboose sounds pretty cool.With numbers like that I assume he installed the RFX-75? -
Like I said, I personally have never had a problem with purchases from these shops...There's a few others to that I have bought from with no problems but the ones I listed are the most recent... -
how do you hook up the amp?? my company isn't strict on electrical products outside of having them hook up an inverter over 400 watts to the battery. Really i just want something to get out about 5 miles, i got a Cobra 25 Nightwatch that DTB in Carlisle Peaked & Tune with dual hustler center loads and been able to get at least 3 miles on Ch. 19..
I guess i might just check out DTB's Cobra 29lx and just stay that route.. but thanks for the info guys -
XForce makes a small amp called MF200. This is a class AB mosfet amp and a high drive. The reasons I suggest this to you are:
You bought a radio from DTB. That means it's a high carrier radio. This amp can deal with that and still sound good.
This amp with your 25 (or the 29) will only put out about 100-125w, therefore amp draw is only 12-15a. It also has 3 stage power level and receive amplifier.
Dave at DTB is a nice guy but I don't think he deals in amps. If you choose that route and need advice hooking it up feel free to call me. -
