Great Radio!
By ce4tnkr
This Radio worked better than advertised!!! Our main purpose for buying this was to be alerted for severe weather during our crosscountry road trip durning the month of May. The biggest selling point was the fact the radio would turn on if a weather alert was transmitted in your area. The second day on the road we came out to the car after dinner to find the radio on and transmitting a weather alert. It saved us from heading directly into the upcoming storm. This was also very helpful to find out about traffic problems and we used it twice to alert fellow drivers of dangers in the road. I can not recommend this highly enough!!! I will always travel with this radio!!!

1st one was DOA 2nd is great
By Ryan V.
Seems like it will be a nice CB if I can get one that works properly. The first one I got had a problem with the mic. As soon as I plugged it in it automatically keyed itself. I'm glad I had the Antenna plugged in or it probably would have cooked the transmitter right then. Second I think it had a short because as I was trying to move it on my dash it came on even though the volume/power knob was completely off. At first I thought I might have bumped it but I was able to repeat the same thing by holding it at a slight angle. I was also getting SWR readings all over the place. I would check it one minute and would read .75 without any adjustment to the antenna or anything else I would key the mic and get readings as high as 4. Thanks to amazons return policy I should have another one tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to give a better review.

*Update* *Update* *Update*

Got my second unit in and it works like a champ. Cobra really needs to work on their quality control because their bad units and subsequent bad reviews will likely start impacting sales very soon if not already. The second radio functions flawlessly and sounds crystal clear transmitting and receiving.

I gave it 4 stars for the first unit being bad. I would have left off 2 stars but amazons return policy made the return and receiving of the second one nearly painless.
