Cobra 29 lx max problem

How old is the radio? Just curious

 

Mike's radio repair did a youtube video review of this radio and said that this radio is pretty much a turd. You probably would be better off with something else.

 

To much #### on a radio..

 

If it's only 4 months old, It should still be under warranty...The LX MAX has a 2 year warranty...

 

No matter how many yrs its good for,poor quality leaves you w/o a radio for weeks at a time..

 

Cobra like other manufacturers like putting lots of bells and whistles on a device that legally cannot transmit more than 4 watts am pep in the case of the Cobra 29 and other similar radios or 12 watts ssb for those models. It's a gorgeous radio with a lot of neat features but as Scotty once said. .

Its still a 4 watt out of the box radio, everything else is just lipstick on a pig.

 

One guy asked me one night on the CB what would be a good radio to "get out a little further." I told him getting out is the job of the antenna, not the radio. I told him they are all limited to 4 watts from the factory. Unless its been illegally tuned by some jock in a shop, it's no better or worse than any other 4 watt CB on the market.
