Picks Noise from Everything
(1 out of 5) by Q. Xue on May 28, 2008I have three CB radios: Honda JC-216H for my motorcycle ($600.- and it's the reason that I start with CB), Midland 75-822 ($85), and this Cobra 18 WX ST II ($64). My ratings to these three CB are: Cobra 1 star, Midland and Honda 5 stars.
The 18WX is very bad compare with 75-822 about noise filtering. I installed them two in the same SUV with identical antennas (Cobra HGA-1500), the 18WX picks noise from every thing: engine, fuel pump, folding motor of mirror, air conditioner, horn and even horn of those cars beside you. The 75-822 just pick nothing but a little the folding motor. It's totally terrible when you use it while driving.

not a good experience
(1 out of 5) by L. Greif on Aug 10, 2007I wasn't able due to schedule to install this immediately, I suggest you take off work if you don't want to take off then I suggest purchasing a refurbished unit to start with I am on my second one that squeals when you key the mike I cannot return it to Amazon, because of the excessively long time it took to get it from Amazon and Cobra to return any correspondense telling me it was a radio problem I cannot return for a replacement Amazon says I can't ,I have to send it in to Cobra to get it repaired so I have a pair of brand new repaired radio's I could have purchased a refurbished radio a lot cheaper and got as good warranty else where INSTALL THIS IMMEDIATELY I am using a Cobra antenna on channel 1 I have 1.25 swr and channel 40 swr 1.25 it changes so little the eye cannot see it the antenna works great just can't say anything to anyone because the tranmitter just squeals I just today got this back 10-10-07 from Cobra does the same thing and now they started the same ole procedure I started in the first warranty claim BEWARE I am going to can this and mark it up as never buy cobra product again
