INTRODUCTION
Cobra proudly introduces the first Patent Pending technology that dramatically
improves the transmission and reception of CB radio signals.
This revolutionary system reconfigures the transmission signal which allows it to be
transferred more effectively through cluttered airwaves. It literally "punches" your
message through the hundreds of thousands of signals that are in the air. At the same
time, SoundTracker system dynamically adjusts the relationship between the signal
and static commonly referred to as noise. This allows Cobra's SoundTracker system to
significantly reduce the amount of static on all incoming CB signals. The system can
be further optimized when two SoundTracker CB's are used to talk to each other.
The end result is a clearer, cleaner sounding reception of signals and more pow-
erful transmissions which dramatically improve CB communications.
The 36ST is designed to give you consistent, outstanding performance in virtually
all conditions and situations. To insure you get the most from the Cobra 36ST,
please read this operating guide carefully before using the unit.
