 Low PowerDec 10, 2009
Cannot transmit more than a mile. I can here everyone else but no one can here me. Also after powering off and back on the unit does remember what channel you were on. Microphone is very large and uncomfortable to hold for more than a minute. nope I think i will toss it and get somthing else.

 Its a good CP/PA unit and its cheapSep 24, 2009
this is a perfect CB if your looking for a radio with PA capabilities that is compact. most radios this size dont offer the PA capability. one consideration is that this unit does not have a scan feature. i have the ext speaker (the one for listening to the other person talk) wired to the smaller factory speaker mounted in the door of my 08 Tacoma, volume is plenty loud. my friend has an 19dx iv also and he is using the unit's integrated speaker which isnt quite loud enough when driving down the road, forcing him to turn it up to a level where the output distorts slightly. an external speaker of some sort is definitely recommended with this (and almost all) CB units.
bottom line if you are looking for something cheap to throw in your 4x4 for off roading or whatever the purpose, it has the exact same "broadcast" power as units costing 3x as much; of course you give up features like weather band, blue tooth connectivity, back-lit knobs etc. but its small, cheap and works well at what its designed to do.
Great CB radioSep 19, 2009
I have used this radio for several months now and am very happy with it. It gets out well and receives well and has good sound. It is small and compact so it does not take up a lot of room. Great buy for the money.
Great ProductAug 15, 2009
This is a great CB, I bought it for my Bronco to use at the off road park. It is very easy to operate even for a first time operator like myself. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a good CB at a fair price, however if you are a serious CB user I would recommend a higher model.

 Good radio, but there is better for lessMay 08, 2009
It's a decent unit, and cobra is a great company, but there is much better. The midland 1001z is much better built and has much better sound quality and features.
That being said, here's why this radio gets three stars. My main issue is the new digital setup on this radio. It pops as signals come in and out of the squelch range. This gets very annoying when you want to just cut out the white noise and hear as much as you can. If someone is right on the border of your signal range, they will pop as they cut in and out, where as other radios will feather in and out, or hold the signal until they quit transmitting. The previous generation of this radio (with the separate LED lights for the meter) was MUCH better in this regard. If you must have a cobra, look for that version, or go to another model. Cobra just went too cheap on this one, but you still pay a premium for the name. All the components feel needlessly light compared to the competition, and also compared to older cobra's themselves. The one missing feature that others have is the RF gain. Very handy and doesn't seem like it'd be much trouble for them to add it, but they reserve that for their expensive radios.
Again, on it's own, this is a good radio, but when you look at it side by side with it's cheaper priced competition, the choice is easy.
