I bought mine in 1991, an awesome CB! Unfortunately the bands are very quiet these days.

I just bought mine for $20, made in Philippines, all LED's work, and in excellent like-new condition. Awesome radio, receive is extrememly sensitive and has great modulation like the PC122XL, which I also have. I think these two radios are one of the best CB-based AM/SSB radios that were produced by UNIDEN, unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. Nevertheless, an awsome gear and can get them dirt cheap on line.

I bought mine locally here in NJ for $20, and mine's like brand spanking new, and it was made in the Philippines, not Taiwan. Fortunately, the LEDs all work fine, and I run it in DIM mode, not in bright mode, so that will provide some assurance that they won't burn out. Now, DIM and bright settings really makes very little difference, I am looking for the +8VDC source to the LED display so I can drop the voltage even further. You can technically add a IC based regulator in line to proivide..

how much do these radios go for? and where could i get one?

[radioaficionado]

Great Review! Like you said, unfortunately the display comes to a major problem now days since Uniden has discontinued this part and is no longer available. If you're lucky enough, you'll find a display on line for a outrageous price.

I own 7 of these. on 2 of them , display works perfectly and before one of the segments burn out, I change the transistor that regulates the power to it. They work great now! but the other 5, still need to replace the display. 73's

Again thanks for the review! It's nice to see some of the more rare radios. I never knew about the 122 until your 122 XL review. I was lucky enough to buy a brand new in box on eFee.

Just like to know,

The FRX75 works good on the Cobra 29 but that is just a am and I like to do some ssb with the same out put as the 29.

Very nice Radio ........nice and "Tidy"

[mrgoodvibrations]

Nice looking unit....are they still in production?

[cbradiomagazine]

No longer in production - I bought mine on a CB forum. They are on eBay from time to time. This radio is similar to the base version - the 810e.

Will the RFX75 work on this raido?

[fordbroncodave]
