The Cobra 29 LX has a built-in 10-channel NOAA weather receiver covering 162.400 to 162.775 MHz. It supports Weather Scan (finds the strongest local NOAA channel automatically) and Weather Alert (issues an audible warning tone when the National Weather Service broadcasts a severe-weather bulletin).

The 29 LX adds a 4-color LCD dot-matrix display, a built-in 10-channel NOAA weather receiver with alert tone, instant Channel 19 (in addition to instant Channel 9), a Radio Check self-test feature, and a built-in clock\/timer\/alarm.

The Cobra 29 LX has a built-in SWR meter with an antenna warning indicator, plus the Radio Check self-test that reports SWR as one of its three diagnostic outputs.

The 980SSB adds Single Sideband (USB + LSB), a clarifier for fine-tuning received signals, and a frequency counter. If you talk skip, run convoys with SSB operators, or want the maximum legal talk power the FCC allows on 11 meters, the 980SSB is the one to buy. If you only run local AM in-town and never touch sideband, the 880 saves you money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ways to run this radio:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder-dash mount\u003c\/strong\u003e — the standard install.

The 980SSB operates on the 40 AM\/SSB channels authorized under FCC Part 95 Subpart D, which is license-free for personal, business, or off-road communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose SSB over an AM-only CB?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSideband gives you 12 watts PEP of transmit power on USB and LSB — three times the 4 watts you're limited to on AM, and the maximum the FCC allows on 11 meters. SSB also concentrates all your transmit energy in a single sideband rather than splitting it between two, so on-channel audio comes through stronger and cleaner. If you already talk sideband, run convoys with other SSB operators, or want the most capable CB the FCC permits, the 980SSB is the right pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between USB and LSB?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSB (Upper Sideband) and LSB (Lower Sideband) are two halves of the sideband spectrum. Neither is technically \"better\" — CB SSB tradition uses LSB for casual chat and USB more commonly among truckers and DX operators, but there's no rule. Both run at the same 12 watts PEP. Set your rig to match whoever you're trying to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the microphone included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A noise-cancelling 6-pin microphone is included in the box, along with a 6-pin to 4-pin adapter so you can also use standard 4-pin CB mics if you already have a favorite (Astatic 636L, Road King, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat antenna should I pair with this radio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor maximum SSB performance, a 102\" stainless steel whip is still the gold standard — full quarter-wave for 11 meters, no coil losses. For mobile installs where a whip isn't practical, a Wilson 1000 or 5000-series magnet mount, or a Stryker SR-A10 base-loaded antenna, all pair well. Whatever you choose, tune SWR to under 2:1 across the band using the 980SSB's built-in SWR meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit in my truck's DIN slot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 980SSB measures 7.25\" wide × 2.25\" tall — very close to a standard single-DIN car stereo opening (7\" × 2\"). A universal CB flush-mount kit will let you install it in a dead factory stereo slot. If you need a slimmer profile, look at the Uniden CMX760 or a hand-held-style CB like the Cobra 75 series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I run this on 24V in a Class-8 truck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 980SSB is a 13.8V DC radio. For a 24V rig (older Volvo, Peterbilt with 24V primary, or a European tractor), you'll need a 24-to-12V DC converter rated for at least 6-8 amps continuous. Wire the converter output to the radio's power leads and fuse both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it receive weather alerts automatically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 980SSB has a dedicated weather-alert function on top of manual weather-channel scanning. When armed, the radio will automatically switch to the NOAA weather channel and sound an alert tone if the National Weather Service broadcasts a warning for your area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniden covers the Bearcat 980SSB with a two-year limited manufacturer warranty from date of purchase.

The Chrome has a mirror-polished chrome faceplate and chrome trim instead of the Classic's black finish. Both take the same power cord, mic, mounting bracket, and antenna.

FM has significantly cleaner audio in electrically noisy environments — near diesel engines, alternators, and ignition systems. The 2021 FCC rule change added FM to CB while keeping full backwards compatibility with older AM-only radios, so you can still talk to any classic CB out there.

AM mode is the default, and the FM upgrade adds cleaner-sounding audio only when both radios in the conversation support FM.

That said, SWR should always be verified at the antenna during install using an in-line meter for the most reliable measurement. The built-in SWR meter is a great fallback for on-the-road antenna checks after the initial tune. Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRadio license note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Walker IV FCC is a Citizens Band (CB) radio operating on the 27 MHz band.

The Walker IV FCC is a dual-mode AM\/FM CB radio following the FCC's 2021 rule change allowing FM on Class D CB radios. It transmits and receives on all 40 CB channels in both AM and FM modes. AM is the default; press the AM\/FM button to switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many channels does the Walker IV FCC have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Walker IV FCC is a full 40-channel CB radio with dual-mode AM\/FM operation, plus a separate 7-channel NOAA weather receiver for storm and emergency alerts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much power does the Walker IV FCC put out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Walker IV FCC outputs 4 watts on AM and 4 watts on FM, matching FCC Part 95 regulations for all Class D Citizens Band radios sold in the United States.

Anyone can transmit on the 40 CB channels legally without an exam. Amateur radio (10-meter and other ham bands) is what requires an FCC operator license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Walker IV FCC have NOAA weather alerts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Walker IV FCC has a built-in 7-channel NOAA weather receiver covering 162.400 to 162.550 MHz, plus a Weather Alert function that issues an audible tone when the National Weather Service broadcasts a severe-weather bulletin. No separate weather radio is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Walker IV FCC and the Walker III?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth radios use the same OEM truck-size chassis, the same front-panel layout, the same 4-watt AM\/FM RF section, and the same 6-pin front mic connector. The Walker IV adds Glow Mode backlighting, a Noise Reduction Circuit (NRC) for voice audio, 5 dedicated P-Channels (P1-P5) for one-touch priority access (the Walker III has 2), an automatic SWR check with audible tone and SWR protection, and a front USB-C charging port (vs. the Walker III's USB-A port). Same feel, more capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Glow Mode on the Walker IV FCC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlow Mode is the Walker IV's new backlighting mode that lights the entire front panel for high-visibility night driving. It works in addition to the standard 7-color backlighting and adjustable dimmer, so you can dial in exactly the look and brightness you want for daytime and nighttime driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are P-Channels on the Walker IV FCC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP-Channels (P1 through P5) are five dedicated priority channels you can pre-program with your most-used frequencies. Once set, one button gives you instant access to that channel — useful for coordinating with a specific truck, dispatch, or convoy without scrolling through the channel dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Walker IV FCC have a built-in SWR meter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Walker IV has a built-in SWR meter plus an automatic SWR check function that tunes and verifies your antenna with an audible tone. It also has an SWR protection circuit that safeguards the finals from damage in the event of a bad antenna install. SWR should still be verified at the antenna during the initial install using an in-line meter for the most reliable measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Walker IV FCC come with a microphone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Walker IV FCC includes a factory 6-pin electret microphone with a coiled cord. The 6-pin format matches other President radios and gives you access to a wide range of President-brand upgraded mics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is the Walker IV FCC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Walker IV FCC is an OEM truck-size CB radio: approximately 2.20 inches tall, 7.28 inches wide, and 6.77 inches deep, weighing 2.64 lbs. It fits the factory CB slot in most Class 8 trucks and drops cleanly into overhead compartments and dash cutouts in Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, and International cabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Walker IV FCC work on 10-meter amateur radio frequencies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Walker IV FCC is a 40-channel CB radio designed for the 27 MHz Citizens Band, not the 10-meter amateur band.
