Hello!
I am currently looking into upgrading my current setup, I have a 2010 Cobra 29 NW that the LEDs have burned out in with a Sirio Performer 5000. I can only get a few miles range out of it and looking to increase my receive. The current CB and Antenna are tuned, and I have a below 1 SWR on all channels. I should note that I use a magnetic mount that pairs with the Sirio and that I’m not hard-wired in.
Looking for recommendations on ways I can improve my receive and getting a better CB. I bought this one used as just sort of a tester/starter to get out there. I don’t mind spending the money for a quality CB, and I’ve notice there are tons of different CBs out there.

The uniden PC78LTX has the same features as a cobra 29, only the uniden is better built.
If you are interested in single side band, the president McKinley has had some good reviews.
As far as a more modern CB, the president Taylor and the Walker 3 are very good radios.
There are a lot of great radio reviews on cbmagazine.com. -
In 2019, I believe the FCC allowed the use of FM on CB Radios. If you want an upgrade, consider getting the new Cobra 29 LTD Classic that has both operating modes AM and FM. A new radio may be all you need. I am using a magnetic mount Wilson 5000 with a 2014 Cobra 29 LTD that was my uncle's before he passed away back in February and I am getting out at least 19 miles with no mods done to the radio.

There are probably plenty of drivers like myself who aren’t CB enthusiasts and don’t care about the tech, but, just want a solid performing setup. Unfortunately, with the demise of the roadside CB industry, we’re left without options. If someone wants to talk motorcycles, modern performance cars, lawns and equipment, I can chat it up.

100% get the antenna tuned and grounded properly, as well as good quality coax. -
