What was your final resolution on the Cobra 29 WX NW BT? Did you get another radio? Has the problem been corrected? I am getting to buy a Cobra 29 WX NW BT and I already own a 50th aniversary radio.

@JGFowler121 - They finally did fix it. I must say it's still not as good as the Uniden's weather though. In fact, neither of the Cobra radio's weather works as good as the Uniden's.

It can be quite frustrating at times. If it were working in FULL duplex then we'd both hear each other even if we were talking at the same time.

Good grief, what do you need three 40 channel AM CB Radios for ? Why not get a ham license and buy a real radio.

@RFMaster6 - hihi! Easy... 2 vehicles and a base radio. 1999 Chevy Suburban, 1974 VW Thing, and Base station inside the house. =) I have the books for getting my HAM license actually. Just need to find time to keep studying. 73.
