INSTALLATION
CB ANTENNA INSTALLATION
For the most reliable operation and
maximum range, Cobra recommends
using a vertically polarized, quarter wave
length whip antenna (illustration A). Shorter, loaded-type whips are adequate
when maximum range is not required (illustration B).
NOTE: Mobile installations (cars, trucks,
boats, etc) should be made only with a non-directional antenna system.
• A standard antenna connector (Type SO-239) is provided on the
Connector Box for easy connection to
a standard PL-259 cable termination.
• Cobra antenna models are
recommended; see your local CB dealer
or order directly from Cobra. See order form on page 40.
• For maximum efficiency in boat installations, a ground plate is required, unless the vessel has a steel hull. Consult your CB dealer for information regarding
an adequate grounding system.

OPERATION
HOW SOUNDTRACKER WORKS
SOUNDTRACKER SYSTEM
While previous systems only “blanked out” or limited noise in higher sound frequencies, the revolutionary new SoundTracker System actually reduces noise while leaving the signal intact in the reception mode. In
the transmission mode, it actually strengthens the signal, providing you
with a significant reduction in noise on reception and transmission.
Sound clarity is measured by the ratio of the signal level to the noise level. The higher the signal-to-noise ratio, the better the sound.
HOW SOUNDTRACKER WORKS
On Reception
With a normal CB, distant signals fall below the squelch level and are unintelligible. With a SoundTracker CB, the noise level is cut by up to 90%, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio and dramatically improves signal clarity. This also allows you to significantly reduce the squelch level, which greatly expands your listening range.
“Cuts Noise Coming In”
1312
IGNITION NOISE INTERFERENCE
The alternator and ignition system in your vehicle may limit your ability to receive low signal levels. Other noise interference can be the result of several different installation variables. Consult your Cobra dealer or a 2-way radio technician to help locate and correct the source of severe noise interference.
On Tra n s m i s s i on
A SoundTracker CB strengthens the transmit signal by more effectively using the available RF power output of the CB.The result is improved transmission signal clarity and an expanded transmission range.

SETTING THE SQUELCH
1. Turn CB on by turning
the volume control clockwise. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
2. Before setting the squelch control on your radio, you must select a channel that is not in use.
3. Turn on SoundTracker.
To achieve the Desired
Squelch Setting (DSS):
4. Think of your Squelch
Control as a gate for incoming signals. If you turn the Squelch Control fully clockwise, it raises the “squelch gate” so high that no signals get through.
OPERATION
SETTING THE SQUELCH
19
5. If you turn the squelch
control fully counter­clockwise, it lowers the “squelch gate” so low that everything gets through
- noise, weak signals and strong signals.
6. To set the “squelch gate” to the DSS-Desired Squelch Setting, turn the squelch control counterclockwise until you hear noise. Then turn the squelch control back clockwise just until the noise stops. Now only strong signals get through.
The Desired Squelch Setting, (DSS) only allows actual transmissions to
come through. This effectively blocks out unwanted noise.

WEATHER CHANNEL MESSAGES
You can receive up to the minute local area weather reports provided by NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA warns of dangerous weather, charts our seas and skies, guides our use and protection of ocean and coastal resources and conducts research to improve our understanding and stewardship of the environment.
The National Weather Service operates about 380 stations. Approximately 90 percent of the Nation’s population is within listening range of a NOAA Weather Radio broadcast.
A similar network of about 15 stations using the same frequencies broadcast continuous weather information across much of southern Canada.
If you have a question concerning NOAA Weather Radio or wish to receive a listing of NOAA Weather Radio receiver locations, please contact your nearest National Weather Service Office, or write to National Weather Service (Attn: W/OM11), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Silver Spring, MD. 20910.
Note: Some areas may not have a broadcast tower within the receiving

USE CHANNEL 9 FOR EMERGENCY ONLY
Operating Procedure for Emergency Communications 1 .
For E M E R G E N C Y communications, set radio to Ch. 9. For n o n - e m e r g e n cy communications, select desired Channel by pressing the CHANNEL UP/DOWN tuning buttons until reaching the desired Channel.
Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an antenna, or use of a poorly matched antenna, could cause damage to the transmitter.
2. When asking for aid on Channel 9 it is suggested that you request a
REACT base to respond by saying “Break Channel 9 for a REACT base” and provide the CB DISTRESS DATA (called “CLIP”):
CALL SIGN-Identify yourself and vehicle. LOCATION-Be exact. INJURIES-Number.Type. Trapped? PROBLEM- Give details and help required. Air CLIP repeatedly so any
monitor can aid you.
If you don't receive a response on Ch. 9; try Ch.14 or 19. FCC gives the following examples of permitted and prohibited types of
communications for use on Channel 9. These are guidelines and are not intended to be all-inclusive .
Permitted Example Message
Yes “A tornado sighted six miles north of town.” No “This is observation post number 10. No tornado sighted.” Yes “I am out of gas on Interstate 95 at mile marker 121.” No “I am out of gas in my driveway.” Yes “There is a four-car collision at Exit 10 on the Beltway,

the component parts thereof, will be free of defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of first consumer purchase. This warranty may be enforced by the first consumer purchaser, provided that the product is utilized within the U.S.A.
COBRA will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective CB radios, products or component parts upon delivery to the COBRA factory Service Department, accompanied by proof of the date of first consumer purchase, such as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt.
You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for warranty service, but the return charges will be at Cobra's expense, if the product is repaired or replaced under warranty. For further details concerning procedures for obtaining service, see the “If You Think You Need Service” section of the Owner’s Manual.
Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply; 1) to any product damaged by accident; 2) in the event of misuse or abuse of the product or as a result of unauthorized alterations or repairs; 3) if the serial number has been altered, defaced or removed; 4) if the owner of the product resides outside the U.S.A.
All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this warranty.
COBRA shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or other damages; including, without limitation, damages resulting from loss of use or cost of installation.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
