Amazon.com Product Description
Warn other drivers of traffic problems, get help in case of emergency, and learn the local hot spots with the Cobra 25 WXNWST CB radio, an ideal unit for professional truckers and other drivers. Outfitted with Cobra's NightWatch technology--which features solid-state, electroluminescent backlighting that fully illuminates the radio's functions and buttons--the radio maximizes night vision while minimizing eye fatigue, making it safe and convenient for drivers everywhere. Of course, the device also excels because of its 40 CB radio channels and heavy-duty dynamic microphone (with a generous 9-foot cord), which keeps drivers connected whether on the highways or in the city. Drivers can dynamically adjust the mic level for increased voice clarity--a must when overcoming the noise of gravelly diesel engines--or fine-tune the audio levels via the three-position control. Further adding to the audio clarity is Cobra's exclusive SoundTracker system, which reduces static by up to 90 percent for clean, precise transmission and reception of CB signals.

While CB channels are the radio's main currency, the 25 WXNWST also receives seven weather channels from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The channels offer 24-hour weather updates in all 50 states, ensuring that you're never caught unaware by a rainstorm, blizzard, or heavy winds. The radio even includes an emergency weather alert that sounds an alarm when threatening conditions--such as a tornado or other hazard--is nearby, even when the CB is turned off. And should an emergency crop up, drivers can instantly access the emergency and information channels (9 and 19, respectively).

Additional features include tactile controls, which let the driver feel the dial position without taking his or her eyes off the road; a PA function that lets drivers use the CB as a public address system; a switchable noise blanker for increased noise reduction; and a front microphone connector for attaching the microphone in or under the dash. The 4-watt radio--the maximum wattage allowed by law--measures 6.38 by 2.2 by 8.62 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a two-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

Unreliable and requires special antenna
I purchased this CB radio as a replacement for another Cobra CB that had failed. Only when I read the instruction manual did I find out that this radio requires a special antenna to get good reception on both the CB and weather channels. I elected to use my standard antenna, and CB section of the radio appeared to function very well for a short time. The radio failed after 6 to 8 hours of service. I checked the condition and SWR of the antenna circuit both before and after installing the radio and found no problem with them.
