Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM CB Radio + Virginia Magnet Mount Antenna + 3" External Speaker Starter Combo

The Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM + Virginia magnet mount + 3-inch external speaker starter combo is the easiest way to get on the air with a chrome-faceplate radio and no permanent install. The Virginia is a plug-and-play magnetic-mount antenna — sticks to any steel roof or trunk in seconds — and the 3-inch external speaker gives you cleaner audio than the Cobra's built-in speaker without a permanent dash cutout. Perfect for weekend drivers, first-time CB users, and buyers who want a chrome-faceplate radio without commiting to a permanent install.

What's In the Bundle

• Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM CB Radio (mirror-polished chrome faceplate, dual-mode AM/FM, 40 CB channels, 4W output, Talkback, Dynamike gain, 2-year Cobra warranty)
• President Virginia magnetic-mount CB antenna (5-inch magnetic base, pre-tuned to CB frequencies, 4-foot factory-terminated coax with PL-259 end)
• 3-inch wedge external speaker (compact under-dash mount, connects to the Cobra's rear speaker jack)
• Cobra 29 LTD Chrome accessories: 4-pin dynamic microphone, fused DC power cord, mounting bracket, mic clip, owner's manual

Why Buy the Combo

You save roughly 5% versus buying the Cobra 29 LTD Chrome, the Virginia magnetic antenna, and the 3-inch external speaker separately. This is the starter pattern — plug-and-play antenna, easy-mount speaker, chrome-faceplate radio — and it's what we recommend for first-time buyers who want to try CB without cutting into a truck's sheet metal. 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.

Who This Combo Is For

• First-time CB buyers who want to get on the air quickly with a plug-and-play antenna and no permanent install
• Weekend or off-road drivers who want the option to move the antenna between vehicles — the Virginia's magnetic base lifts off in seconds
• Show-truck operators who want the chrome-faceplate radio look but don't want to drill or bolt a permanent antenna mount
• Anyone whose factory dash speaker is muffled — the 3-inch external speaker sits under-dash and delivers much clearer audio than the Cobra's built-in unit

Install Notes

• The Virginia magnet mount sits on any flat steel surface — roof, trunk lid, or truck cab. Clean the mounting area before placing to prevent paint scuffing.
• The Virginia comes pre-tuned to the CB frequency range, but SWR should always be verified at the antenna during install. Small adjustments to placement (further from the edge of the roof, or closer to center) will improve SWR.
• The 4-foot coax connects directly to the Cobra 29 LTD Chrome's rear SO-239 antenna jack.
• The 3-inch external speaker plugs into the Cobra's rear external-speaker jack. Mount under the dash with the included clip or leave it loose.
• For the cleanest AM/FM modulation, add the Pro tune and alignment service at checkout.

Cobra 29 LTD Chrome + Virginia Starter Combo — Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in this combo?

The Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM CB radio (with its factory 4-pin dynamic mic, DC power cord, mounting bracket, and mic clip), a President Virginia magnetic-mount CB antenna with 4 feet of factory-terminated coax, and a 3-inch wedge external speaker.

Do I save money buying this combo?

Yes. The combo is priced at approximately 5% below the total of the components purchased separately.

Do I need any tools to install this combo?

Almost none. The Virginia magnet mount sticks to any flat steel surface with no drilling. The 3-inch speaker plugs into the radio's rear jack. The only wiring you'll do is connecting the Cobra's fused DC power cord to your 12V source (cigarette-lighter adapter, add-a-fuse tap, or direct-to-battery run).

Will the Virginia magnetic antenna hold on at highway speeds?

Yes. The Virginia's magnetic base is designed for highway-speed use. Just make sure the mounting surface is clean and free of paint chips or lifted trim.

Does the Cobra 29 LTD Chrome ship peaked and tuned?

No — it ships stock from Cobra with factory alignment. 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.

Can I upgrade the antenna later?

Yes. If you want a taller, more permanently mounted antenna later, the Cobra 29 LTD Chrome works with any SO-239-terminated CB antenna. Popular upgrades: a Hustler IC56 102" whip, a Stryker SR-A10, or a President Maryland RW radial whip.

Why add the external speaker?

The Cobra 29 LTD Chrome has a built-in speaker in the top of the cabinet, but it fires upward — meaning audio bounces off the headliner before reaching your ears. An external speaker pointed at you delivers much clearer audio, especially in a diesel or 4x4 cab.

Does the 3-inch speaker require power?

No. It's a passive speaker — no separate power connection. It draws its audio signal from the Cobra's rear external-speaker jack.

What's the difference between this combo and the Classic version?

Only the finish on the radio. The Chrome has a mirror-polished chrome faceplate; the Classic has the traditional black finish. Same internals, same warranty, same antenna and speaker package, same price. Pick the one that matches your interior.
