Look in the pawn shops- no kidding, drivers get rid of old radios all the time. Some shops have seen so many that the shelves are full of 'em. It's been awhile but I'm thinking... $70.00 or less for the fanciest radios? Maybe $20-30.00 for what you're looking for.cookie30 Thanks this.

Look at the local truck stop. Pilot or Loves normally has that model for $129.00 and if you have an issue with it you can take it back. You can try e-bay but not much cheaper.
cookie30 Thanks this. -
thanks for all the help I went on ebay and bought a cobra 29 ltd bt going to see how well the bluetooth works. If anyone has this radio please tell me how it is good or bad.

Good luck. I had the same radio. It all depends on what type of truck you're putting it in. If it is an older louder truck the bluetooth won't work all that well. Too noisy.
I first put mine in an older KW T600. The truck rattled and shook too much. Once I was issued a new truck (2011 KW t660) the Bluetooth worked great.
Stick the BT microphone on the visor directly in front of you. That seemed to work the best for me.
The CB functions great!! But then most 29 models do. Good Luck.cookie30 Thanks this. -
If you are in Harrisburg PA then you have a ton of options! You've got several truckstops off I-81...exit 77...I think there are 3 truckstops and 1 CB shop, exit 52 has 4 truckstops (best I can remember) and 2 CB shops, and you have a Pilot just up the road, off of US-322. But if you want the best deal and the best tech around...then you'll have to go 50 miles south to Greencastle. Exit 5, TA...CB Shop is in the motel BUT, Reese, the tech, is by far the best I've found yet! So...right there in your home town you have at least 8 truckstops, and 3 "CB shops"!!! The CB shop at exit 52, DTB Radio, is the only one worth the visit tho. He is straight across from Keen Trucking on Rt 11. Although I wasn't very impressed by the work he did on my radio, I have since heard countless radios that have come from him that sounded great. Just curious...why are you asking ppl on here where to go and what to do, when you have so many option in your backyard???
BTW - DTB has a very nice selection of both new and used...MUCH more than any truckstop! -
I saw this post after I had already posted the first time...
I bought that radio simply for the novelty of the Bluetooth feature...which was a mistake because it SUCKS! Like the other Cobra's that I own, my C29 LTD BT is sitting on the shelf collecting dust...actually it's collecting dust as it holds up a row of books on that shelf...that's the best use I've found for it yet! -
the guy in Carlisle PA is highly recommended as well. he is on the east side of the interstate over by the flying fish hook.
