Other than that the only thing that I don’t particularly like on the LX 29 is the dual control knobs found on Volume / Squelch and the Talkback / SWR calibration. This really can make a difference to how well you are heard especially when your signal is quite weak with the receiving station. It’s always best to purchase a decent power mic separately. Saying that however, I am rarely a fan of any supplied microphone as they rarely give anything but adequate performance. I’m not overly impressed by the supplied microphone. I found other stations to be very clear even weaker ones that weren’t much stronger than the current skip levels. Most importantly the LX 29 performs flawlessly in both receive and transmit. So, if you like to cut right back on the brightness at night time you can set it appropriately and when you hit the dim button it goes to the level you have set. The display is also dimmable and you can set, via the menu, the day and night brightness as two separate presets. I love the blue of the Cobra and find it very easy to see everything. I’m not sure why, it’s just a personal thing. For some reason I have never liked red displays. You can switch between amber, red, green and blue.
I really do like the fact you can change the color of the LCD display. This will be the reason why as there is no internal battery. I’ve seen some people complaining that their radio resets every time they get back into their vehicle. It is important to note that you need to connect it to a constant 12V supply in order for it to maintain the time. You can also select just to scan the channels you have in memory.Ĭlock / Alarm – The 29LX does feature a built-in clock and alarm. Obviously hitting the scan button is so much easier when you are driving.

The one on the radio is then handy to tell me if things have changed since it was first set up.Īuto Scan – I do like the automatic scan on these newer radios as it sure beats the manual “click, click, click” as you turn the channel selector looking for something. They are much more accurate and I always do my initial setup with one.
Radio Check Function – diagnostics check three things on the radio. What will strike you when you first see the radio is the up-to-date looks and large, clear LCD display. The radio we are reviewing here is the 29 LX and is based on the now legendary 29 LTD radio but with a modern facelift and some useful extra features. Their proven and popular 29 circuitry now sits in a great looking radio with even more features.Ĭobra are a big name in CB Radio and have been offering quality rigs as far back as the 1960s! Cobra have really given the 29 LTD a lovely face-lift.
