Radio choices

Depends on your needs,no need for a 10 meter if your only talking to load outs and guard shacks.
It takes far more then a 10 meter if you have CB Kung-## on your mind
Tired of looking a Cobra's,then buy a Uniden
Same performance,different package.

 

The Galaxy DX949 is another good non 10 meter radio you can look into. Google it.

 

FIRST .....

EXCEPT FOR THE Ranger 2950 and Mag-257 which are ok these so called " 10 " meter radios are just illegal CB sets .....

They are poor radios and on SSB sound at best poor.... On FM they are a joke. I can't remember the last time someone even tried to use on on 29.600.

You want a GOOD CB set ..................

Cobra is a good set if you need a bit of power go get a amp ....

 

The cobra 29 is a fine radio as well as the Cobra 25 which has the same performance just in a smaller package.

I run a connex 4600 turbo 10 meter that has been converted to 11 meter (CB) usage. It has better receive (ears) then the cobras that I have run. It also has better get out power then the cobras since it does about 45 to 50 watts carrier with a tad over 200 watts of pep power. It does have options on it that I can do without such as talkback and eco and reverb along with a 10K switch to go between channels and of course it still goes on the 10 meter bands. But like I said, I only run the regular 11 meter (CB 40) and I don't do any sidebanding so it does what I want.

I used to have a Galaxy 949 and it also had good recieve compaired to the cobras. It is a little larger chassis radio so it takes up a little more room then the cobra 29. Something went south on it and it only works for a few minutes then looses power and modulation. so it is just sitting till I can send it in or find somebody to fix it for me.

That new digital cobra is another option, baisically a cobra 29 with a new digital faceplate and some other options. It is new so the verdict is still out as far as the reliability of the new digital face on it.

 

I have a Galaxy 949, among 3 Uniden 78's. I prefer the Galaxy, except for the side mount mic connection. But if all you have is a dash mount plate, it's not an issue.
