The CB Radios Channel

We’ve been meaning to create a complete Pickup Truck CB package, and we’ve finally done it!  The new Right Channel Cobra 29 LTD Pickup Truck Package contains everything needed for an easy CB install on your truck.

The package is built around the Cobra 29 series, the most popular radios on the market.  All six popular version of the Cobra 29 are available with this package, including models with Nightwatch, Weather and Bluetooth functionality.

A Firestik FS antenna is included with the kit.  As the most popular fiberglass antenna with pickup trucks today, this was an easy choice.

What we’re really excited about is the diverse mounting options available.  The kit includes more than a dozen mounting options, including proprietary mounts for Ford, Chevy and GMC, Dodge and Toyota trucks!  We provided as many choices as possible to make it more likely you’ll get the perfect fit with your specific truck make and model.

Finally, the kit also includes an easily routeable Firestik Fire-Ring coax connection which lets you route a small coax cable without having to soldered the end on!

Our kit is new, and we’re always open to ideas on how to improve it.  If you’d like to suggest some additional ways to improve it, please let us know.

Based on the popularity of our Jeep and Off-Road packages, we’re introducting a CB package created exclsively for Toyota’s FJ Cruisers!  More than likely you’ve seen these cool vehicles around.  Introduced by Toyota in 2006, these slick little rigs have gained quite the following in a very short time.  So, for the lucky new owners, we’ve assembled a FJ Cruiser CB Radio package complete with everything you’ll need to get up and running quickly.  The kit includes the choice of a Midland 75-822 or Cobra 75 radio, Wilson FLEX antenna and, most importantly the Bandi Mount.  Famous in FJ circles, the Bandi Mount allows FJ owners to easily mount a CB antenna without drilling any holes in their vehicle - a slick idea originally thought of by a FJCruiserforums.com member.

So if you’re in the market for a FJ Cruiser CB package, please make sure to check out our new packages at Right Channel Radios!

CB radios are often written off as antiquated pieces of equipment only used today by professional truck drivers.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  CB radios remain the primary communication method used by a number of groups due to their cost effectiveness, easy of use and license-free operations.  One of the many groups to still consistently utilize CB radios is Jeep and Offroad vehicle owners.

CB radios are widely utilized today in the Jeep and 4×4 communities by drivers needing a way to easily communicate when traveling together over difficult terrain.  We often receive questions from Jeep owners asking what equipment would be best suited for their offroad needs.  Due to the large number of inquiries, we assembled a number of custom CB radio kits built especially for Jeeps and Offroad vehicles.  These kits were assembled specifically for 4×4 needs and include components that are built to perform well in demanding and rough conditions.  We wanted to make installing a CB radio as easy as possible for those new to CBs, so each kit includes everything needed for a complete installation.

If you’re in the market for a CB for your Jeep or 4×4 vehicle, take a look at the Right Channel Radios Jeep CB Radio Packages.  These complete packages are designed with your needs in mind and are priced extremely competitively.  For specific kit pictures and reviews, check out the Uniden Jeep CB Radio kit as well as the Cobra Jeep CB Radio kit reviews performed by Stu Olson of Stu Olson’s Jeep Site.

Cobra recently released a new Bluetooth enabled model of their highly successful line of Cobra 29 CB radios.  Designed with the professional driver in mind, The Cobra 29 Bluetooth model’s biggest selling point is the ability to make and receive cell phone calls through the CB radio.  When used with a Bluetooth compatible phone, incoming calls can be re-routed through the CB radio by simply clicking a button on the microphone.  Once connected, the entire phone conversation can be conducted through the radio with the CB microphone used to talk and the incoming voice being broadcasted through the radio’s speaker, making it easier for the driver to focus on the road.  Apart from its Bluetooth capabilities, the new Cobra CB model also includes a number of other popular features including talkback, RF Gain, PA functionality and a noise canceling microphone.

The radio, which retails for $189.99, is priced at a $70 premium to the base Cobra 29 LTD which is a nearly identical radio without the Bluetooth functionality.  If you spend a lot of time on the phone while driving, this Bluetooth model from Cobra may be extremely attractive.  However, if you’re not much of a talker, you would probably fare better saving the approximate $70 and going with the base model, or spending the difference to upgrade to the Nightwatch or Weather Cobra 29 models.
