Cobra 19 DX IV Compact CB Radio (Discontinued)
The Cobra 19 DX IV has been discontinued.
For a current compact Cobra CB radio, our recommended replacement is the Cobra 19 MINI AM/FM, with AM and FM operation on all 40 CB channels. The 19 DX IV is no longer available for purchase from CB Radio Supply.
Cobra 19 DX IV: original model information
The Cobra 19 DX IV was a compact 40-channel CB radio with an illuminated LCD, RF gain, a combination signal/RF meter, and instant access to channels 9 and 19. The specifications below are for owners of the original 19DXIV, not the newer MINI AM/FM.
Recommended replacement: Cobra 19 MINI AM/FM
The Cobra 19 MINI AM/FM compact CB radio offers 40-channel AM/FM operation, 4-watt output, manual and automatic squelch, adjustable RF gain, and VOX. It includes its own microphone, mounting hardware, 12V vehicle power adapter, and hardwire kit.
This is our recommended current alternative, not a claim that all 19 DX IV accessories transfer directly. The MINI uses an RJ-45 microphone connection rather than the 19 DX IV's four-pin connector. Use the MINI's included microphone and mounting hardware, and check the new radio's dimensions and connections before installation.
