    I'm a ham radio operator and have several transceivers, but I have to say this is an impressive radio. Thanks for the video.

    😯 oh wow I remember these, well maybe not exactly this one but the ones from the 1990s, for sure. Back when I was living in a little city called easton pennsylvania and on the weekends, my friends and I would cruise up and down the strip and just talk on the cb all night long to a lot of other truckers or to other people. If we weren't talking to the truckers we would always keep our radio channel on 27, so we couldn't disturb other people that were talking about serious stuff.
    Anyway this is what we did on Friday and Saturday night from 8:00 p.m. that night until at least 5:00 in the morning.
    talking about great memories and fun times. I miss these Cobra cbs

    It appears to me that CB radio is making a comeback. There sure are a lot more radios available out there. There is nothing like working another station through the atmospheric noise and flutter. Working SSB lower side of 38 late at night. It's a great hobby.

    I miss this radio. I used to have it in my daily driver when I had a 3 hour commute. Its an outstanding kit and looks sexy in a sports car interior.
    It was so useful on the interstate to avoid revenue generation and also as an entertainment center and profanity workstation. Flip the switch and you are in awe with the amount of abuse, bigotry, racism, profanity, off color jokes and unrestricted thoughts being cast into the airwaves lol. Its refreshing to hear people able to speak their minds without censorship or even consequences of any kind... puts hair on your chest.

    What a cool radio! The clock and scan feature is sweet. I've had a cobra 29 classic forever that I'm thinking about hooking up in my garage instead of my truck but I've been out of it for so long that I don't know if too many people use these radios anymore. Is it a dying technology do you think??

    1. Does the Cobra allow for military time on the clock function? 2. Which would you recommend : The Cobra 29 LX or the Uniden Bearcat 980SSB ? And the Bearcat.. is the standard mic good enough or should I order a better one? (From most reviews all recommend the Cobra needs a powermic) thanks so much in advance if you respond.
