    Cobra 25 LTD Classic Service cost?

    Hi, Looks good, I guess you want to run some decent cable straight to the battery for that Amp!!! Still can't make up my mind on which radio to go with? Is there any other modern presently made SSB type Cb's I should look at or is Uniden about it?

    Cobra 25 LTD Classic Service cost?

    Hi, No one had anything to say about my antenna pick. It's suppose to be one of the best for my application? I guess I could put a stock 980 in with the new antenna and see what I think before any amp business???

    Cobra 25 LTD Classic Service cost?

    Hi, Thanks Gentlemen! If I wanted to run a small amp with the 980, I would have to have the AM set to about 1.5 amps? What is a decent trouble free 40 or so small amp I could use? Would I need a fan? Thanks!

    Cobra 25 LTD Classic Service cost?

    Hi, Thanks! I heard the Uniden Grant XL was dead stable on SSB... And I don't see the need for a counter on a truck mounted radio??? Seems you would run the clarifier by ear and watch the road?

    Cobra 25 LTD Classic Service cost?

    Hi, Thanks Gentlemen! The question in my mind is, how much money spent before you are better off just buying a new CB? I'm looking for an older model Uniden, admittedly but only because of the feedback I have seen in performance and build quality, and SSB! One of my other hobbies is...

    Cobra 25 LTD Classic Service cost?

    Hi, I have an older Cobra 25 LTD Classic. It works but has a channel light out. It's probably long over due for a clean resto, tune and peak. Looking at getting a Uniden Grant XL so I have SSB. Wondering if it is feasable money wise to send in the Cobra and get it fixed for a back up...
