CB users who do not have enough cab space to fit the beastly 29 LX can now choose its smaller cousin, the 25 LX. The Cobra 25 LX features many of the same CB functions as the 29 LX, but in a smaller package. Some of the primary features are system diagnostics, channel scan, and PA. Other than the size, the primary difference between the Cobra 25 LX and the Cobra 29 LX is that the 25 does not offer a NOAA weather function and a SWR meter.

Next in line is the Cobra’s newest Bluetooth compatible radio, the Cobra 29 LX BT. Replacing the popular Cobra 29 WX NW BT, the new Cobra 29 LX BT offers NOAA weather channels, channel scan, system diagnostic, along with Cobra’s Bluetooth microphone. Syncing this CB radio with your cell phone is an easy and great way to take phone calls through your CB radio. Many states require that drivers use “hands free” accessories to take cell phone calls, and the Cobra 29 LX BT allows you to operate your cell phone within the parameters of the law.

Lastly, Cobra has introduced their first limited edition LX series radio, the Cobra 29 LX Chrome. This CB radio is enclosed in a customer chrome CB cabinet with a large impression of the Cobra logo on top. Ideal for CBers who want a little “flash” along with a quality CB radio.

The Cobra 25 LX and Cobra 29 LX Chrome are available and shipping, while the Cobra 29 LX BT is expected to arrive in May 2012.

Uniden Bearcat BC880

The Bearcat BC880 is the most impressive radio in the new CB lineup. This radio has an host of features including NOAA weather, radio diagnostics, and variable talkback. While these features are great the most stunning feature has to be the massive display.

Additionally there are seven different display colors to choose from so you can customize the look of your CB however you like. The new radio also features a 6 pin mic which is compatible with the new wireless CB microphones. Also if you own a nice aftermarket 4 pin mic you will be able to use it with the 880 as the radio includes a 6 pin to 4 pin adapter. The Uniden BC880 CB radio will be available in December and will retail for $149.95.

Uniden Bearcat PRO505XL

In addition to Uniden’s other new radios they brought to market a very high value radio in the Bearcat PRO505XL.

VHF Marine Radios

The VHF Radio is standard equipment on almost all watercraft that is navigating large bodies of water. The VHF Radios primary use is to communicate with other watercraft, monitor weather, and send or respond to emergency signals. VHF Radios power range is typically between 1 and 25 watts and operates in the frequency range of 156 MHz to 174 MHz. Similar to CB’s VHF Radios utilize multiple channels many of which are designated for specific uses. Channel 16 and 9 are the emergency channels which are monitored by the United States Coast Guard 24 hours a day. VHF radios are available in either fixed mount or handheld versions.

VHF Antennas

VHF Antennas operate similar to CB antennas. In order for the antenna to be effective the tip must be in an open area free from obstructions. The most significant difference between Marine VHF antennas and CB antennas is that marine antennas do not need to be tuned. The Marine radio antenna is much more of a plug and play product as all you need to do is mount the antenna and attach the coax to the radio and you are ready to broadcast.

Marine Antenna Mounts

There are a variety of VHF antenna mounts that allow the boater to attach the antenna to flat surfaces, curved surfaces, rails, and vertical walls. Many Marine Antenna Mounts feature ratchets and allow the user to quickly lay the antenna down. Most VHF antennas are made of either nylon or stainless steel and have different antenna height and weight capacities. Marine Antennas are easy to install and operate.

It’s been an exciting week for new radios!  First the impressive Midland 1001 LWX radio, and now this.  Coming in October 2010 is the new Cobra 29 LX LE CB Radio, a limited edition radio from Cobra to celebrate the Company’s 50th Year Anniversary.

This radio isn’t being released until October 2010, but from the initial specs it looks like it will be a very popular item.  Most notable about the new CB is the MASSIVE color display.  It is apparently customizable via your choice of 4 different colors.  The display takes up the majority of the radio’s face and provides information on all radio functions.  The radio includes weather as well as channel scanning, which is a welcome surprise and not a feature that is available on any of the available Cobra 29 models.

As expected, the usual features such as PA, RF Gain, Delta Tune and others can be found on the radio.  While we’re still a few months away, we’ll be anxiously awaiting the radio’s release!  For full details and specs, please see our product page for the Cobra 29 LXLE on the Right Channel Radios website.
