Wow

The Cobra 29LX.

I just got one, too.

It works good enough for me on the stock Volvo antenna setup in my truck. It's already helped me out of a couple bad traffic snarls.

I ran without CB for years, and now that I'm back trucking, I can't imagine being without anymore.

I would like to add a 2 meter. I'm licensed, but a new ham radio is on the back burner.

I'm curious, though. Is there a "trucker channel" on 2 meter? I remember reading in the trucking mags about 10 years ago that hams who were fed up with the BS on the CB were trying to get that started.

 

See the current HAM thread

 

I think it’s the 29LX. It used to be top of the line back in 2015, at least for truckstop radios, but now they have a new version that can pair up with your phone via Bluetooth although I don’t know why you would want to do that anyway. It system works OK as long as the person I’m talking to is going in the same direction but most people don’t want to talk that much on the CB anyway. It’s kind of sad. I really wish I had born 30 years earlier. I think in a way the Truckers Report has taken over for the CB.

 

I sold my Connex 4400 15 years ago with a 500 watt kicker at the TA in Oklahoma City I just got fed up with all the trash talk and all the music being played so I pulled into the parking lot,I just shouted out anybody want to buy a radio I had that sucker tuned in perfect, Radio a little history on it because I bought it from a lot lizard in Baldwin Florida at the TA for 25 bucks with the kicker neither one worked so I went and had the work done on them and had them matched up and it was the best CB Radio setup that I had ever owned up until that time well just recently I was in a pawn shop I bought a little Cobra sound tracker for $15 and put it in my truck and you know what I've only turned it on twice still not impressed buy all the trash talking but I'll give it a little more time maybe I'll take it back and pawn it who knows
