Customer Review: An "Okay" Low-End Radio
Summary: 3 Stars
I've owned my Cobra 18 WX ST II for about five years and, over that time, have had it installed in two cars. I have been relatively pleased with it (considering the price). I also own an older Cobra 20 PLUS which I purchased new back in the very early 1990's. I use the CBs for live traffic information on my daily commute (about 70 miles, round trip) and listen more than talk. I like Cobra's radios but the stock microphones on their lower end CBs leave much to be desired, as the microphones on both of my radios stopped working within the first year or so. I replaced both with generic microphones (no bells or whistles) and the generics have proved to be of better quality. I'm using the Cobra 18 with a recently purchased Wilson "Little Wil" magnetic mount antenna on a compact car (it was previously installed in my wife's old mid-size sedan with a 2' FireStik) and am relatively pleased with the radio's transmitting performance; however, this radio does seem to be much more sensitive to receiving interference from overhead power lines (when compared to the 20), as it picks up a LOT of static when I drive under or parallel to power lines. This is my biggest gripe with the radio. If it wasn't for this issue, I would have given it 4 stars instead of 3. If they'd also give you a better microphone, that would make it 5 stars. Near power lines, I find myself turning the squelch up so high that I'm concerned about not hearing what someone may be saying. On the positive side, because I'm powering the radio through the cigarette lighter, I appreciate the "instant channel 9 and 19" button. Having the speaker on the front is a great feature, but you'll be pushing its limits if you drive on the highway with the windows down--you may want to consider an external speaker placed closer to your head if you use the radio under such conditions and have it mounted below the dashboard.
