Likes dislikes about a cobra 25?

[Blazintrails03]

I don't know anything about cb radios but was offered at cobra 25 and k40 mag mount antenna for $100. Is it a good radio and good price?

[bartonmd]

It's a good radio, but there's not a lot of room to mount them in the TB. I have one that I was going to mount in my truck, but being a stick and having a brake controller in it, I'm pretty much out of real-estate, without doing something weird. I'm just going to get another one of the Cobra "all in the microphone" 75 radios, and call it good.

The cb is a good and antenna is ok. But the price is to high for used. About the same new.

I think it's new in box. Does the 25 have PA speaker ability?

[bartonmd]

Yes, the 25 is a good radio, and does have PA functionality. IIRC, it has everything but side-band, which nobody uses any more, anyway.

Thanks mike only questions I had got answered and I like getting real life feed back from guys I trust than read reviews. I'm definetly gonna check out that link though.

Unless you want to start working with stuff that makes your radio "big" and "loud," save yourself the trouble and go with what mike uses - the cobra all in one handheld unit. Its a complete and utter hassle mounting a standard/large size CB in the truck.

I understand the reviews. You started asking specs, though, so I just sent you to the place with the specs.

I agree with Josh. Myself and v7guy have a tiny little Uniden 510/520 Pro CB. It's smaller than the slave cd player that my truck had from the factory and it resides in the dash board in that spot.
