Works With Your Existing Antennas
All Cobra CB radios with dual-mode AM/FM are compatible with your existing antenna setup, so there's no need to replace your antenna. Plus, our dual-mode AM/FM models can continue to communicate with AM-only CB radios on the AM band.
Compare AM vs FM
For decades, AM communication has been the standard for CB radios in the US. Now with dual-mode AM/FM on Cobra CB radios, you have your choice of what mode to use. FM generally has clearer sound with less background noise because FM prefers a stronger signal. See how AM and FM compare in the video.

What is CB?
Citizens Band radio (CB) is a 2-way voice communication system for personal use for the general public. It lets you talk from your truck, car, home, business, or boat to other people who have a CB radio. Technically, a CB radio is a transceiver. It functions both as a radio transmitter (when sending messages) and a receiver (when receiving messages). Citizens Band radio was created by the FCC in 1958. There are as total of 40 channels on the CB band. Channel 19 is unofficially regarded as a general-purpose channel to make contacts and listen to conversations and reports of traffic and road conditions. Channel 9 is reserved for emergency communications.
Do I need a license to operate a CB?
No license is required. The FCC used to issue licenses for CBs, but they discontinued that requirement many years ago.

Reviews
Awful/Costly
"I purchased one on these years ago. I'm very familiar with installing CBs overall in general. Straight out the box couldn't get the radio to work properly. After much back and forth with technical support was advised to send it in. Short time later got it back with a note - no attempt to repair. Reasoning was liquid damage to internals of radio. This was a new radio right out the box from a TA truckstop. Pricey loss."
Cb radio
"I like it a lot and shipping was fast as well as it arrived on-time and also love the multi color options."
Very solid and dependable CB radio
"Truly appreciate the features on this Cobra 29LX. The backlit screen color options are very nice. Signals from the NOAA in my area come through Crystal clear. Local CB Traffic, meh, its like anywhere else, mostly annoying but at least I can pick it up with this nice radio. I have it paired right now to a Wilson 1000 magnet mount with a 5' whip. Microphone is clean and comfortable. All in all, very happy with the purchase. Thanks Cobra!"

Q&A
- Can the 29 LX communicate with the other Radio 25 Ltd, 29 Ltd, and 19 Mini? I'm thinking of buying a 29 LX, but the fleet only has the others.
- Thank you for your question. Yes, the 29 LX can communicate with other CB radios as long as they are on the same frequency/channel.
- Is the 29lx available in am /fm
- Thank you for your question. The 29 LX is only available with AM at this time.
- is there a weather channel?
- Hi Steve, Unfortunately our standard CB radios do not have access to a weather channel. That is a feature that is generally included in Marine Radios.
- Can you listen to cops with this cb
- No, these are not police scanners. Thanks
- When are you going to produce a decent small Sideband radio?
- We do not have plans to have a small Sideband radio at this time, but we will pass along the request! Thanks for reaching out.
