First, I would never run the radio with a low drive amp. A low drive amp is one that has a driver inside to run the final section ie the 1x4. You can run that stryker with your dx400. There is no reason you can’t put a 5 watt dead key into that amp. People always talk about 1 watt dead key and...

Yeah ‍♂️ is that cb-tricks a rip off? Just went there and you can’t click on any links. I’d pay $10/mo for Cbtricks.com if somebody would manage it.

JasonD: What version of the board is your radio? Is it the ept695015c? Or do you know the approx mfg date?

It could be a matter of availability. I’m hoping the SMT is not the near future for cobra.

Here we go again. Sept. 2021 29LX all SMT. 2023 came back in stock w/ through hole and new VFO section (am). Newest batch (2023) SMT. I’m not sure what the deal is. They appear to tune somewhat close to the others but the real world results is the audio is pretty low on the receiving end...

I found one at a small cb shop that's been around for 50 years, here in Omaha (Irvington Nebraska). He has a few and is just selling them at $149. It's literally 6 blocks from where I park my camper. Let me know if you want one for that price. I don't think he ships. I'll pick it up...

Oh, yeah. Didn't think of that. It's hard on the eyes, yet, all these manufactures are doing blue. Personally, I think amber is easiest on the eyes at night yet bright enough during the day. You can always change out the channel and meter lights for 10 bucks.

I do have the 29 LTD Chrome version that's AM only. idk if that helps.

GWub I never even thought about holding back a few. What was I thinking? I'll check all my back stock but I think I'm out. I had alot in stock and finally ran out for the last time a couple weeks ago. I'm into the am/fm stock now.

The modulated 1000Hz tone is 992 Hz. The service manual is like 400 pages. I do not want to do a real calibration by the book. Id like, simply, to turn a pot, if possible. It generates an accurate RF signal. It’s just the tone that’s off. Anyone familiar enough to point me in the direction of...

1/4 is fine

Cobra 29 LTD Classic & Chrome FM Radios are Here Well, that’s a little anticlimactic. It’s the same radio, feature wise, except FM. Push the channel selector for FM. Hope it’s ok, I’m quoting NZ8N from another post about the 29LX —————— NZ8N [begin quote] The PLL in this latest generation...

They’re here :) Like most manufactures, they don’t really care about the hobby. They just want to sell more stuff. I can’t fault them for that. I will say, however, I sell a lot of radios and only about 1 out of every 2500 radios have a noticeable factory defect. I’m not talking about the...

Permission to unbox your ideas granted.

Well, let me know if you want a radio. Maybe we’ll all learn something if you’re going to post some type of results here.

What do you mean by getting “new information?”

The FM models are now available; both, the Classic as well as the Chrome. (As of March 1)

Are you referring to Cedar Electronics?
