Cobra Electronics Introduces 50th Anniversary
Citizens Band Radio
Limited Edition CB Radio to Debut at Great American Trucking
Show
CHICAGO, IL (July 20, 2010) � Cobra Electronics Corporation
(NASDAQ: COBR), the market leader in Citizens Band radios, today
announced the launch of its 50th Anniversary Limited Edition CB
Radio. The new 29 LX LE CB Radio will feature a revolutionary
new design with a selectable four-color LCD display and
ergonomic microphone, along with a new weather alert scan and
the industry�s first Radio Check Diagnostic. The 50th
anniversary CB is being shown for the first time in the Cobra
booth, #16074, at the upcoming Great American Trucking Show,
August 26-28, 2010 in Dallas, TX.
�For 50 years Cobra has provided the highest quality products to
meet the needs of the professional driver,� said Tony Mirabelli,
senior vice president of marketing and sales for Cobra. �After
extensive product testing and customer feedback, the 29 LX LE is
a culmination of performance, style and innovation in Citizens
Band Radios.�
On the outside, the 50th Anniversary CB features a completely
redesigned, modern look with selectable LCD display that can be
red, green, blue or amber to match the interior of a cab. The
display also has customizable night and day settings to enhance
readability in both very bright and very dark conditions. The 29
LX LE�s large center scroll knob provides simple one-touch
programming of the unit for easy setup and channel changes.
Lastly, the 29 LX LE includes a redesigned ergonomic microphone
for easy and comfortable use.
Internally, the 29 LX LE is based on the classic 29 LTD with
some new added features. The new weather alert scan
automatically advances to the next clear NOAA weather channel
when driving cross-country, ensuring the driver is always
getting the latest weather alerts and warnings. Also new in the
29 LX LE is the industry�s first and only Radio Check
Diagnostic. Now drivers can monitor continuously their radio�s
RF output, SWR setting, and battery voltage. Like previous Cobra
29 models, the 29 LX LE includes 4 Watts AM RF power output, the
maximum allowed by law, instant access to emergency channel 9
and information channel 19, as well as Delta Tune to clarify
incoming signals and adjustable Dynamike� boost, which increases
the microphone�s sensitivity for increased voice clarity.
The 50th Anniversary Limited Edition 29 LX LE CB Radio will be
available at travel centers, CB shops and truck dealers
nationwide for $149.95 in September 2010. For more information
