Do all Cobra CB radios have bad readouts?
Just picked up a Cobra 29 LTD WX classic radio. I really dont find much
use for CB anymore. But for a couple bucks, I liked the look of this radio and the weather band is a big plus. Over the years I have had several Cobra CBs. I swear everyone of them has at least one bad digit on their LED readout. This one does also. Cobra made darn good radios, but did they use bad readout boards or what? |

Greg Looking on youtube, it seems this is a very common problem with these radios. Cobra made great cb radios, but must have used crappy readout chips.I only have one digit out so im just gonna leave it. Its the low vertical segment on the number 2. |
