What CB should i get? I had the Cobra handheld and hooked up a 4' firestick but i didnt like how akward it was. Going to go with a regular installed one.

Should i get the Cobra 75? or should I get a full sized one like a 29?



Thanks,

Matador

I like the Cobra 75. It performs well enough, and I like that I can super-easily remove it from my Jeep the other 29 days of the month that I'm not using it.

I've got the 29 WXNW (NOT bluetooth edition). It's definitely full size. I had to retrofit my Tuffy overhead w/a step drill to bore out a hole for the coax wire in back, only real issue with size though. The CB itself is AMAZING to use, internal SWR adjustment and cal modes are extremely handy. If you ever knock the antenna mount on a trail or get a funky SWR reading it takes less than a minute to re-tune to spec instead of having to hook up inline adjustment tools. Quick switch to 9/19 and weather channels is also nice, buttons are big enough to operate and memorize w/out looking up while driving.

Both the 75/29 are similar in price, maybe 20 bucks more for the 29. The main issue is how much space you have to work with, and if you want a permanent install (which I did).
