You have made my day, your video is excellent, I am a disabled ex army truck driver in the UK, I have 5 other CB`s, but I love the look of the Cobra 29 LX so much, I have just brought one off Amazon. Stay safe out there, God Bless.
Thanks man. Just picked a brand new 29 lx, tipped n tuned from a yard sale for $70. Just bought a hustler antenna and I'm looking it up tomorrow. Now I know. Thanks alot, good vid.
My pap gave he a brand new 29lx he got when he bought his 12 valve. Me and my friends all put cb’s in our cars. My Grand Cherokee and a cobra are a match made in heaven. My friend Cole has a old Galaxy cb and he is trying to switch me to find a galaxy. I don’t know, I’m very happy with what I got. Thank you for helping me set it up!
Very Informative Fast and Easy Learning , I think you Missed your Calling in life You should have been a University Teacher ,,Keep bringing us these Vids, New and Old stuff,, anyway Great Video,,Thanks
On the SWR, when Calibrating your antenna, the range should be lit left of 3 or on 3 and not over 3. Some believe the signal strength should be between 3 and 4, but apparently, according to Cobra, 3 is the magic number.. they also talk about cutting the length or adding to the length of the antenna, but I don't want to cut up a Lil' Willey Antenna, they are expensive.
I love this very much, I am some what a new users, i use use CB radios back in late 80's and it was fun. now this radio is very awesome, mine is up grated, in every way you can do it mines a 40 watts cobra 29 lx with a better mike called SUPER STAR MIC. This cb has been from a dear friend that has a technician that did the work;;; i all ready got a radio check twice on it
Hey thank you for the video. You nailed it. I just picked up 29LD and upon hearing all the static I thought they had messed up and installation. Do you think $800 is too much for installation, antenna, and mounting brackets?
I'm really not familiar with the range of prices people charge for installation. Assuming there's nothing setup in the truck and they have to do all of it from scratch, that sounds about right. I've never had to do it all from scratch. You'll see in my install videos I'm working with a truck that has the antenna and coax already installed so for me it's simple!
The antenna itself needs to be tuned, the radio doesn’t tune it, it just lets you know either the antenna is not tuned or there could be a problem with the coax, usually it’s just adjusting the antenna.

Appreciate this tutorial. I had an old 80s radio and had no idea how to filter out radio signals from cb'ers broadcasting from several states away
Thanks so much for making this easy to understand. You really helped me as a new driver. I lost the instruction manual that came in the box 🤣
Great job explaining.
Great way to explain I understand everything pretty well thanks a lot

Is it expensive to have these radios modified? I bought love it was thinking about having echo , base , and just bad to the bone as I can make it .

I think that's a lot, in Miami I paid about $400 to get the cb and a signal booster installed
When i click PTT the SWR goes above 3. And i havent gotten back a positive radio check when i talk. Any ideas why?
When i calibrate it; it moves crazy when i try and adjust it do u think its my antennas?
What would you do to fix antenna warning when holding down the PTT?
The antenna itself needs to be tuned, the radio doesn’t tune it, it just lets you know either the antenna is not tuned or there could be a problem with the coax, usually it’s just adjusting the antenna.
Do you need an external speaker in a brand new truck?
You left out how to calibrate the mic in CAL, SWR, ANL.
Where do you want the SWR meter to be for the mic? 1.5 or 3?
Less than 2
Useful video for beginners in UK too. Lot of new breakers coming on the channels here. Thanks for posting. ATB. 26CT9484
I have the Cobra LX Max
How do you tune your antenna with this radio?
My cobra LX cb speaker is very low any idea why?
When i talk, the screen reads Antenna Warning... how do i stop that from becoming a serious problem?
I keep getting "antenna failure" message. Bought a new antenna and a high dollar coax cable, and nothing improved. Any suggestions?
Weak wire connections, or loose tip
My antena broke once and after I put a new one I can hear people but, they can't hear me. I can't figure out wth is wrong
Hey mine keep saying antenna warning
Real cb'ers don't use squelch. They use rf gain.
Sucks,,show how swr works
