Q: QuestionI own the Cobra 29 LTD NW could you please point me to a power cord that would work from home as I will not be using this unit in my truck? Thank you in advance!

• A:Answer To power the 29 LTD NW in your home will require the use of a 120VAC to 13.8VDC power supply with a minimum output current ratting of 5 Amps or more. When considering a 13.8VDC power supply for your Cobra CB radio make sure it's designed for powering radio communication devices. This means that the power supply has very low noise and ripple Voltage on it's output. If you need another DC cord for your 29 LTD NW, a replacement can be found on Cobra.com website. Here's the direct URL: https://www.cobra.com/products/426002n001 Lastly, to complete your home CB radio station don't forget the antenna. A home CB radio station offers the opportunity to improve the performance of the 29 LTD NW by using a base station antenna. The radio is of course a major piece of the system but at the end of the day the radio performance is limited by the antenna system so go for a high performance base station antenna and you won't regret it! Have fun.

Q: QuestionHow many miles will it reach what’s it’s range do you need a licence

Asked 6 months ago by Joe.

• A:Answer All Cobra CB radios operate at the maximum allowable power output set by the FCC, which is four watts. However, the effective range of communication can be influenced by several factors, including the type of antenna used, placement, the physical length of the whip antenna, and the proper adjustment of the standing wave ratio (SWR). Additionally, the operating environment plays a significant role; obstacles such as tall buildings, trees, hills, and interference from other CB radios can all reduce the effective range. Certain atmospheric conditions may also impact the performance of CB radios. Typically, you can expect a CB radio to communicate effectively about 5 to 7 miles. No license is required.

Q: QuestionIs the microphone that comes with CB a noise cancelling microphone similar to a road king 56?

Asked 1 year ago by paherr.

• A:Answer The microphone included with the updated 29 LTD NW AM/FM CB radio is the same proven proven design that's been part of Cobra's CB radio legacy for decades using a high performance dynamic microphone element that is sensitive to the full voice range while minimizing background noise.

Q: QuestionWhat is the general highway talk range?

Asked 1 year ago by Kerry.

• A:Answer CB radio range performance depends on several factors but probably the most import is the antenna system. For best results consider the use of a high performance CB antenna like the Cobra 4' fiberglass CB antenna found on Cobra.com. The location of the CB antenna on the vehicle will also have an impact on the antenna radiation pattern. The optimal location for the antenna is typically on top of a metallic roof and centered. Other mounting locations will still yield acceptable results but will most likely have a negative impact on the antenna radiation performance. Operating location will also have a significant impact on range. Typically, the higher the antenna above the average terrain the better the range capabilities. Radio propagation is also influenced by the Sun and the Earth's electrical system and depending on conditions could either greatly enhance radio propagation or degrade it.
