before I re-mount my old cobra cb was wondering about this unit as i hate having my big clunky cb hangin over me and the mic constantly dangling in my face and bangin around while wheelin! It seems like a perfect jeep set up but i can't help thinking that the handmic might be a bit of a pain also??? Anyone out there have any experiences with this cb? Looking for feedback..

I've got one and it's worked well for me for the last year and a half. I keep meaning to mount the little module behind the dash or something, but it's been sitting in the rear cup holder ever since I got it . I like all the expensive stuff being in the mic where I can just remove it when I'm not going to use it. The one drawback is the speaker in the mic is small . . . especially if you have the doors off at any real speed, it's hard to hear, but I added a $10 external speaker which took care of that.That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

I'm no fan of the Cobra 75. If the microphone goes bad, there are no cheap replacements at the truckstops. And to be able to hear it in a noisy Jeep, it absolutely needs an auxilliary speaker. The speaker inside the microphone is too small and tinny sounding to produce clear or loud enough audio to understand if you're in a noisy Jeep or on the highway.Last edited by Jerry Bransford; 04-14-09, 07:54 AM.The Geezer Jeep: http://www.greentractortalk.com/jerryb/index.htm

I'm on my 3rd Cobra 75 (2 replacements) over prox 10 years. I use it in combo with remote speaker mounted at windshield pullman strap mounting location. These units tend to be fragile, so why do I replace with same? Its compact, easy to install in a TJ and can be purchased at discount online.
