    I like the idea of it being portable too if needed.

    lf you are going to the trouble to mount an antenna, I'd go with a full size that you can hear what is being said and get some range.

    I had a Cobra for a while until it died for no reason.

    I also had two Cobra dash cams crap out. So I'm done with Cobra lol

    I have a Uniden CB now.

    But on that note I will say we just installed an all in one Cobra unit into the crawler because our old CB also died in that (LOL) and a friend sold us a brand new one for $20 that he got in a raffle. We just had that one lying around anyway.

    I put the cobra 75 in a few years ago and have not had a single problem.
    You two are both on a long list of people I've wheeled with whose cb didn't work for one reason or another :D

    Shots fired!


    I actually used the heck out of my cobra one since I had it while living in foco when we were doing sevenmile all the time. Eventually I started sounding like a chipmunk and nobody could understand me then eventually I couldn't broadcast out.

    Same issue with the other (not sure what brand) could hear people but couldn't broadcast unless they were right next to us

    I'll be in Longmont this weekend and have a SWR meter. We can knock it out real quick if you want.

    Brand doesn't matter, Uniden and Cobra, I have one of each.
    What matters is size. ;)

    I have the 75. It works great. I just tend to mumble a lot.
