Army CB by Cobra

[oifvet]

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool:

Cobra Electronics 29 LTD Army

It might go over well in some of our vehicles and keep us in touch!

(Hey, at least it'll match the color!)

 

[Flyingvan911]

That is a cool CB. I have a detatchable face Midland. If I make a place to stash it, the Army CB would be nice in the new deuce.

Or I could paint my 29 LTD green and put an Army Strong sticker on it.

Or I could paint my 29 LTD green and put an Army Strong sticker on it.

And save $20, because that's what the Army licensure adds to the price over a 29 LTD Classic.

They're great radios. I have an older version that I bought for my semi truck and it has taken a lot of abuse yet it's still going. If only they would make it water-proof and set up for 28 volts.

Oh come on now!! This one is OFFICIAL!!!!!

I still have mine that I used with I was an OTR trucker.

It has been peaked and tuned, has the low and high channels, talkback and some other mods. I also have a Texas Star 150 amp kicker that helped me get out over the clutter.
I haven't used a CB in 5-6 years.

Hi all,
Speaking of CB's and the cobra 29 ltd.. I have one.

But there is a loose connection in it somewhere, where it cannot transmit or receive.
(I cannot remember which...)
Is there anyone on here in Georgia, capable of fixing it? If so, how much would it cost me?

I would like to get this radio working and put it in my M1009...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

CJ

P.s. Please PM or email me directly if you can help, thank you..

There used to be a CB shop close to most major truck stops......I have not seen one open in my neck of the woods in years.

There is a guy here that works on CB's but he does not advertise and only does it for locals.

CJ - guy who works for me is in a big CB club here in GA and has access to someone who can repair it - give me a pm and I will give ya my cell so you can call him tomorrow.

Run Classic LTD's in our units peeked as well and swr'd

I've got a 29 in the tractor/trailer I drive from time to time. I very seldom turn it on anymore though. Our company has 2-way on our cell phones and I get tired of listening to all the BS on the CB.

At one time I had a Cobra 148 running a base station with a Amtron 99 antena mounted 60' in the air and a 600 watt kicker. That thing would reach out there.

hey cycle jay over at the petro off of exit 12 i believe on 285 there is a cb shop that will fix that for you i think thats the closest one to you and speaking of cbs i have a galaxy 66 in my m1009 and i have an old side mic cobra 29 in the closet that works like a champ

 

[Stan Leschert]

Almost any HAM can fix that for you! Just wait for a local one to respond to your request.

If the extra $20 went to some Veteran's Organization, I could see the difference. BTW, "kickers" put out watts, not amps, they draw amps.

 

[boomer]

We can all put one in our M.V's, then "by golly" (and a "good buddy")"we got us a convoy. Just like the movie.

 

[docfarmall]

I wouldn't say "good buddy " on the two way these days less ya like guys.

Just saw the 29 LTD ARMY at Pilot in caldwell, ohio off of 77 for $89.99 + a $20.00 rebate from cobra. Thats $69.99.

Yeah, I ment watts .

WOW, thats a low price.

 

[tennmogger]

Yeah but we'd have to chrome our wheels to match those shiny knobs. They must have run out of paint.
