The CB Story

The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast and 10-meter Amateur radio bands, and was established by law in 1949. The Class D two-way communications service was opened in 1959. (CB also includes a Class A citizens band and Class C remote control frequencies.)

Federal Communications FCC Regulations

FCC regulations permit only "transmissions" (one party to another) rather than "broadcasts" (to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB Channels because that is "broadcasting."

FCC Warnings

All transmitter adjustments other than those supplied by the manufacturer as front panel operating controls, must be made by, or under the supervision of, the holder of an FCC-issued general Radio-Telephone Operator's License.

Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by Cobra, may cause violation of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.

Installation

Location

Plan location of transceiver and microphone bracket before starting the installation.
Select a location that is convenient for operation, yet does not interfere with the driver or passenger.
The transceiver is usually mounted to the underside of the dash with the microphone bracket beside it.

Mounting and Connection

  1. Hold the radio with the mounting bracket in the exact desired location. If there is no interference, remove the bracket and use it as a template to mark the location for the mounting screws.
    Mounting and Connection Step 1
  2. Drill the holes and secure the bracket.
    Mounting and Connection Step 2
  3. Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle marked "ANT" on the back of the unit.
    Mounting and Connection Step 3
  4. Connect the red lead of the DC power cord to the positive post of the battery or to an accessory 12 volt fuse.
  5. Connect the black lead to the of the DC power cord to the negative post of the battery or to the vehicle chassis.
    Mounting and Connection Step 4
  6. Plug the power cord into the jack marked "Power" on the back of the unit. Be sure to observe polarity markings.
  7. Mount the microphone bracket on either side of the radio (driver's left) using the two supplied screws. Bracket should be placed under the dash so the microphone is readily accessible.
    Mounting and Connection Step 5
    Mounting and Connection Step 6
  8. Attach the 4-pin microphone cable to the connector on the front of the radio and install the microphone on bracket securely.

Notes

The transceiver is held in the universal mounting bracket by two thumbscrews which allow for adjustment at a convenient angle.

The bracket includes two self-tapping screws and star washers. The mounting must be mechanically strong, conveniently located.

For best performance, we recommend the radio be connected directly to the battery.

Before installing the CB radio, visually check the vehicle's battery connection to determine which terminal is positive or negative. A negatively grounded vehicle has its negative lead grounded to the chassis.

Connecting to an accessory fuse prevents the unit from being left on accidentally, and also permits operating the unit without running the engine.

If the microphone is not connected, audio will not be heard at the speaker.

Antennas

CB Antenna

Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the antenna is critical in affecting transmission distance. Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power output. Cobra loaded type antenna models are highly recommended for most installations. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details, or visit our website: www.cobra.com

  1. A standard antenna connector is provided on the transceiver for easy connection.
    CB Antenna

Marine Installation

The transceiver will not operate at maximum efficiency in a boat without a ground plate, (unless it has a steel hull). Before attempting installation, consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system and prevention of electrolysis between fittings in the hull and water.

Use of a mobile receiver at low signal levels is normally limited by the presence of electrical noise. The primary source of noise in automobiles is from the alternator and ignition system. Typically, when signal level is adequate, the background noise does not present a serious problem. Also, when extremely low level signals are being received, the transceiver may be operated with the vehicle's engine turned off. The unit requires very little current and therefore will not significantly discharge the vehicle's battery.

Even though the Cobra 29 LTD Classic has an automatic noise limiter, in some installations ignition interference may be high enough to make good communications impossible. Many possibilities exist and variations between vehicles require different solutions. Consult your COBRA dealer or a 2-way radio technician for help in locating the source of a severe noise.

Notes

For optimum performance in passenger cars the ideal antenna location is on the center of the roof. Second choice is on the center of the trunk.

Because many newer trucks feature fiberglass door skins, the outside mirror must be grounded to the chassis via a ground strap when antenna is mounted on the mirror bracket.

3-way Combination Antennas are also available which allow operation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB), using a single antenna. However, this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type "Single Band" CB antenna.

Operation

Turning On

Make sure the power cord, antenna and microphone are connected to their proper connectors before starting.

  1. The CB/PA button should be in the CB position.
    Turning On Step 1
  2. Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise to a normal listening level.
    Turning On Step 2

Setting Channel Selector

Setting Channel Selector

  1. Set the CH9/CH19/NOR switch to NOR.
  2. Select one of forty channels and adjust the volume. The selected channel is indicated by the LED readout directly above the channel selector knob.

Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio)

SWR meter calibration is required to accurately measure the SWR of the connected antenna system. Careful adjustment is critical to obtain best accuracy.

  1. Select channel 20.
    Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Step 1
  2. Switch to the CAL position.
    Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Step 2
  3. Push and hold the mic button.
    Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Step 3
  4. While holding the mic button adjust the SWR CAL knob so the meter needle swings to the CAL ▼ mark on the right side of the meter.
    Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Step 4
    Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Step 5
  5. While still holding down the mic button, set the S/RF SWR CAL switch to the SWR position, to read the SWR reading.
    Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Step 6
  6. Repeat the same steps two through five on Channel 1 and 40. This will check SWR for all channels.

Notes

Antenna Indicator LED will illuminate RED when transmitting if the SWR is high.

Calibration must be made in an open area (never in a garage). Vehicle doors must be closed. No one should be standing near the antenna. (See your antenna directions for more complete information).

The reading will be slightly higher on Channels 1 and 40 compared to Channel 20.

When switched to SWR position the meter needle should ideally be as far to the left as possible. Anything over 3 is not acceptable. The antenna indicator will light. A slight antenna height adjustment (higher or lower) may be required. Repeat recalibration steps.

To Receive

  1. Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise. The green RX/TX LED will be illuminated.
    To Receive

Selecting A Channel

NB-ANL/ANL/OFF (Noise Blanker/Automatic Noise Limiter) Switch

NB-ANL/ANL/OFF (Noise Blanker/Automatic Noise Limiter) Switch

  1. When switched to ANL the Automatic Noise Limiter is activated. This helps reduce noise created by the vehicle's electronics.
    When switched to NB/ANL position the RF Noise Blanker is also activated, providing increased noise filtration.
    When switched to OFF position all noise filtration will be turned off.

Note

The RF noise blanker is very effective in reducing repetitive noises such as ignition interference.

Bright/Dim Switch

Bright/Dim Switch

  1. Switch to BRT or DIM to control the brightness of the channel indicator and multi-function meter for day or nighttime driving.

RF Gain Control

The RF Gain is used to optimize the reception in strong or weak signal areas.

RF Gain Control

  1. Rotate the RF Gain knob counterclockwise to reduce gain in strong signal areas. In weak signal areas turn clockwise to increase the gain.

Setting Delta-Tune

Delta-Tune functions as a "fine tune" control enabling you to capture a more readable signal, as well as eliminate adjacent channel interference.

Setting Delta-Tune

  1. Rotate Delta-Tune knob to the center position for optimum tuning.

Setting Squelch

Squelch is the "control gate" for incoming signals.

  1. Full clockwise rotation closes the gate allowing only very strong signals to enter.
    Setting Squelch Step 1
    Setting Squelch Step 2
  2. Full counterclockwise rotation opens the "gate" allowing all signals in.
    Setting Squelch Step 3
    Setting Squelch Step 4
  3. To achieve the Desired Squelch Setting (DSS), turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until you hear noise. Now turn the control clockwise just until the noise stops. This is the DSS setting.
    Setting Squelch Step 5
    Setting Squelch Step 6

To Transmit
