Default Flame Time, Have Fun If You Wish!

I want a Cobra 75, but dont want to spend $95 + $20 Firestick.

Anyone have any input on the Cobra 76. I know it is neon blue, I CAN Deal with that. I wont you the antenna, that is a little gayer than I can deal with.

Anyone have 1? Do you think there is a large quality differance?

Help?

I realize that it is neon blue and plastic, but I'm not jumping on it. How does it function compared to the 75?

Don't know about the 76 but if you are looking for a CB on a budget try the Cobra 19. Simple but gets the job done.

I also used the Cobra 19 and a Wilson 4' flexible with good results. I really like the Wilson flexible because of trail use. You can buy better CB's but if plan on using this primarily for trail I don't think you can beat the value.

Not concerned with this. My Jeep is a spare vehicle, so generally trail rides or beautiful top off weather only.

I was wondering about this 1 also, where did you mount yours.

Mounted mine on the passenger side along the shifter. It was real easy to run it to the battery from there through the door. Mounted the bracket for the hand device alongside the radio.

Thought about mounting mine there. When you off road do you get bonked in the head often with the mic?
