Cobra75 All Road Wireless CB Radio - Dual-Mode AM/FM, Full 40 Channels, Bluetooth Connectivity, Digital Noise Cancellation, Waterproof, Instant Channel 9, 4-Watt Output, Easy to Operate, Black

Love listening to (and sometimes interacting with) big trucks on our frequent road trips, and wanted a low-profile unit for our 2025 Odyssey Touring... And this fit the bill. The main unit installs virtually anywhere, and the handset just needs USB power (our deck is mounted close to the front under the console, out of sight, but close enough to plug the handset directly into it). Mounting the mike holder under a trim piece makes it removable with no damage to the dash if we ever sell the vehicle... And it's easy-peasy to use when driving, and hides in the center console when not needed. Love it

Really like the AM/FM and WX features on this radio. Scan function is always a plus. I used a 22" mag mount antenna and a MFJ hf meter to dial in the SWR. I keep the mic in the radio rather than using it's Bluetooth functionality. I'm not an OTR trucker, just a radio enthusiast who travel a lot. The controls on the mic are easy to navigate pretty quickly. I do not run an amp and when skip is around the radio has done well on lo and DX power settings.

Short review: This CB preforms just as good as my 29LTD does on the bench. The reviews saying it’s quiet, make sure the RX audio “DSP” level is set to off vs the factory default of 1. Also make sure it’s set to “DX” and not local, it’s deaf on“local”. I found that setting it to DX, squelch off, and RX DSP to level 1 works well and it only makes noise when it hears something.I wish the included USB power adapter had the same funky twist lock port like on the “black box”. Also, if you do end up using this in something like a side-by-side, make sure that USB port is sealed. If that plug cover comes off, nothing is stopping water from entering it.Now on to a more technical review.After receiving and unpacking this radio, it was put to some tests on the bench with an IFR service monitor.First tests were receiver sensitivity. Receiver DSP doesn’t do much for RF performance other than help clean up noise. You’ll rarely need to go above level 2 because it starts sounding horrible set any higher.AM resultsDX setting: .1uV or less on AM with 50% modulation. (Pretty much as low as the service monitor will go.)Local setting: 1uV or more on AM with 50% modulation. (Very local receiving ranges)FM resultsDX: .1uV (as good or better than some of the commercial radios I’ve had to service)Local: 5uV (very, very, local)TX resultsAMAverage power: 3.69 watts (FCC complaint)Peak (TX DSP on, 1): 12.19 wattsPeak (TX DSP off): 15.4 wattsModulation (TX DSP on, 1): 80%Modulation (TX DSP off): 90%FMPower: 3.5 wattsDeviation: +.7Hz (this was impressive)I haven’t done any testing after being installed in a vehicle, but from bench testing, I don’t doubt it’ll work just fine as a CB when paired with a decent antenna.If you were wondering about making any tweaks, not reasonably possible at this time. However, the USB port appears to be an actual USB port so eventually someone will figure out how to make changes via firmware.

It hart to configúrate but one u get it working is a nice product to have specially on a road trip

It seems to be working ok the short time I've had it sounds good but I've only talked to people close by maybe a mile but don't need it to go no further than across the road. Price was reasonable.

Easy installation and good reception. Compact size makes it perfect.

I purchased this item as I like to listen to what's happening on the road while I'm in traffic. This unit is small and does not take up dashboard or 8nterior space. The unit can go anywhere (like in the trunk) as the handheld is the actual controller.Set up was simple as it only required a two wire connection plus an antenna, which should be connected before powering the unit.This being said, my unit powered up but that was it. Nothing more. I returned the unit to Amazon and they sent me a new unit immediately. It also powered up and nothing more. I took my vehicle and the unit to an installation shop and still the same resilt...Power up but nothing more.Unfortunately, I requested a return which Amazon approved but the return/ refund process SUCKS. It is a 3-5 day return process, then wait 7 days for the refund to be applied, and another 30 days for the refund to be returned to my original purchase card. That equals about 40-42 days. Terrible customer service. Recommend purchasing items from a brick and mortar store where your refund is immediate.This experience is a 1 star as the product didn't work and the refund process thru Amazon in Janky.

Very small profile for the base. Everything is on the microphone. Very unique. Good idea if there is limited space for the radio. Read a comment it could be installed in the trunk since the mic is Bluetooth.
