So a cording to murphy's law we are all doomed to fail at some point. For me this would mean taking my top off for only a couple hours and in that tiny time span having the sky open up and kill my cb. But thats kind of a good thing.....UPGRADE TIME!!!!

Lets hear some suggestions. I had a $40 Uniden with a handset that was uncomfortable to hold. I want something that looks nice, isn't too huge and has a nice handset.

I am very happy with my cobra 75wxst since the mic contains everything so it takes up no room. I do want to get a larger one however since I have the cage now, or add in the external speaker since I have a hard time hearing the 75 at times now.

I assume the incoming voice comes from the handset as well?

Correct, I should say for the me hearing it well part, it all depends on who is talking actually. Like steve is loud 50% of the time usually, but last trip I could always hear kp no matter what.

KP always seems quiet to me. Rocco always comes through loud and clear.


I have been strongly considering the Cobra 75 actually.

What do you mean it ruined? Is that where the mic would have mounted with a cage installed?

If you look at eddies write up of the rockhard cage, youll see how he uses the kc mount at the cross bar, but I think it would block or hit the sPod pannel. I may end up just mounting it further back, just dont wanna spend the money on a new cb for it not to fit.

I'm quiet b/c I don't usually speak directly into the mic vs. speaking into the Jeep and the mic picks up what it picks up. That's a fault on me, not the device.
