cobra cb radio help

[nj3talpha]

hey everyone,

just purchased a cobra 76 xtr(mostly for pa capability). Needed some help on choosing a PA speaker, external speaker and an antenna. I'm not going to use the lighted antenna provided. Also trying to figure out which size optima battery fits in the stock box.

thanks

Is the radio stock? although I don't have one on my Alpha, I would recomend a Wilson trucker 2000 for the antenna. Sorry I cant help with your other questions.

For external speaker, high end would be Whelen, Federal Signal, or Code 3 external speakers, they are heavy duty and the same ones used in emergency vehicles, such as PD, FD, SWAT vehicles, etc.

CBs are outdated. Cell phones work like tits , pa system yea ok but why?

Billy, you must not have ever 4wheeled offroad in your life yet. Why CBs? When you wheel offroad where we wheel, there is no cell coverage and those outdated CBs work quite well.

CBs are also immediate! I have had to yell on the mike to get someone from rolling their truck several times. I also use it on the road to contact truckers on the highway.
