    COBRA SOUND TRACKER FUNCTION ?

    I have a Cobra 18 WX ST ll with the Sound Tracker button. It sounds good when you are listing to another stock radio but when you hear radio's with a lot of swing on the meter they sound gargled. My Uniden 78 XL filters are a lot better.

    Hand Held CB's

    I have a Midland 75-785 with the rubber duck antenna. It uses 9 AA Batteries AKA 8-10 dollars. The only time i could hear anybody was if they where within 300 feet or when i held it out the window. I also pick up a lot of engine static.

    Do I need guy wires?

    I used to have a 30 foot push up pole with 20 feet of old fence pipe attach to my house with no guidewires, but i was always worried that it would fall. I say yes for peace of mind.

    My First CB Base/Mobile Antenna

    My first antenna was a Lil Wil magnet mount on top of my 10x14 metal shed. My first radio was a Uniden PC 66. I am learning a lot from this great Forum Thanks :D
