    Galaxy 77, but I’m running a stock Cobra 29 now.

    It’s a DX77 HML if I remember right. It’s an older one.

    Sorry I missed this post.

    OK so it is a viking 352/352d/4730 AM/SSB radio. I have one sitting right there (pointing to my right on the second shelf next to my Kenwood tr-9000).

    Cobra 29, uniden 880. But wait until you have an assigned truck. My 2018 Cascadia only accepts the Uniden Bearcat 880. The radio cut-out will not hold my Cobra 29. My company will not allow me to cut the extra width out of the plastic to fit the Cobra.

    No matter what anyone tells you, get a CB. How else are you going to know about a wrong-way driver? You can turn it off or use it. Without it, you can't.

    what do you mean the radio cutout won't fit a cobra? I highly doubt that.

    uniden bearcat 880:
    Radio Dimensions: 7 1/4 W x 2 1/4 H x 7 1/2 D

    Cobra 29:

    Radio Dimensions: 7.25" W x 2.25" H x 9.25" D

    Same width and height. The cobra 29 is 1.75 inches longer. If freightshaker made their cb slot not hold the most common length cb then they would sure have a lot of complaints on their hands.

    I am sure OP isn't going to get a CB because he failed his CDL test anyways. He probably pointed at the CD player when the instructor asked him to turn the windshield wipers on.
