Cobra 29 W/RFX75

I eventually changed my antenna to a Monkey Made, but that wasn't until a little while after I got the new radio. I was running on a single Firestick beforehand.

 

Im running a rfx on a phillipens cobra29 according to the walcott cb shop its uputting out 110 watts... does get a little warm.... works great at longer ranges... a little too much closer

 

I just got a 29 classic w/RX and running truck spec or road pro ( not sure just a cheap package from TS) for now, I'm looking at Wilson or K40 so I should get a little more outta it. I'm getting 8-10 miles on a clear day and when the airs not full of this west coast skip that's just picked up. Every1 says it sounds good a few times I've hit drivers just as they were goin by and it was too much but get a little distance and were good.I've heard almost 15 miles a couple times had to turn up RF but it was there. I mounted mine under the cabinet (shaker classic XL) I have it turned a little and with visor down on pass side almost no sun hits it. So far mines not even got warm but I never have any1 to jaw with that long.

 

i had one put on a cobra 29 it woks great, its loud and clear. only beef is we are in a lot chemical plants loading and unloading we talk as we are staged and not being able to turn it down is a little much. i back off the mic gain and it helps up close. i also have a connex 3300 that has been peaked and tuned. I've had it for over 15 years and an old boomer 500 watt linear with a predator 10k antennathat will reach out and touch you. i run one for a while in my big truck the other in my pickup then switch em' out both are great.

 

You can't turn it down? I run my little rm italy kl 300 all the time. Don't need it up close, but the radio sounds just as good with it on as it does with it off.
I'm thinking if this mod doesn't work well up close, something ain't right as it could/should be.

 

Im using rfx75 on a cobra 29 classic... like i said great at medium to long range but i was talking to a guy on a base who was a couple blocks away an he said i was blowing him out of the water and was slightly muffled.. once i got a lottle farther out he said it sounded great.. i talked to him 30 miles or so.. i had the wilson flex4 behind cab of my pickup.. i now run a wilson 1000 roof mount but i haventtalked to him sinceto get a report

 

It should sound good both long range,& short.
