Greeting’s to all Radio Heads
I have a few questions please. I recently bought a used Cobra 29 LTD Classic CB. I liked that classic look, no bells, no whistles, and no changing colors.
1. DYNAMIKE – I don’t get this. If I understand EBay ads for higher end Cobra external speaker’s ,500 I think; that have “Talkback” feature included; this will enable talkback without an internal board? I have a 300 series now that I bought to use with a Cobra 18.
2. RF GAIN – Sort of a boost? Crank it up and things get louder including hiss and static. Used to pull in weaker signals?
3. DELTA TUNE – hmm? Fine tuning maybe? Don’t see that it does much so far.
The Cobra manual I looked at online doesn’t explain these things too well. Any insight would be appreciated.
Observations:
Truck drivers are not too keen on conversing with the general public. They are often the only ones on the radio though. I can ask for a radio check over and over and just get silence. If I hand the mike to the wife they perk right up. “She sounds cute” “Where’s she at?” That female voice I guess. I am left wondering if my radio is working, ha.
I miss the scanning feature when using the 29 Classic. Can this be added? I bet that dude in Arizona that builds starship CB’s could do it huh?
Those people on 6 are something else.
I read this forum often and regularly, thanks for the info.
