The Connex CX-3300HP is a high-powered 10-meter amateur mobile radio designed for operators who prioritize signal strength, audio clarity, and classic styling. Often favored by professional drivers and radio enthusiasts, this model is built on a “Cobra 29” chassis footprint, making it easy to mount in most overhead compartments while delivering significantly higher power output than standard consumer radios.

Quick Summary

• Best For: Amateur radio operators and drivers looking for a high-output “big radio” sound in a standard-sized chassis.

• Key Upgrade: The “HP” stands for High Power, utilizing dual MOSFET finals to push 40-50+ watts of power (PEP), ensuring your voice cuts through crowded airwaves.

• Standout Feature: Built-in Dual Echo Controls and Talkback allow you to fine-tune your voice effects and monitor your own transmission in real-time.

High-Performance Power At the heart of the CX-3300HP are dual IRF520 MOSFET finals, which allow the radio to transmit with roughly 40+ watts of Peak Envelope Power (PEP). This is a significant step up from standard stock radios, giving you the “punch” needed to reach longer distances without requiring an external amplifier for casual use.

Professional Audio Features This radio is famous for its audio customization. It features a built-in Echo Board with dual controls on the front panel, allowing you to adjust both the volume and delay of the echo effect. Paired with Talkback, you can hear exactly how you sound to others and adjust your audio on the fly. The Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) and Noise Blanker (NB) work together to filter out engine static and road noise, keeping your receive signal clean.

Modern Visibility & Design While it maintains a classic chrome-and-black aesthetic, the CX-3300HP has been modernized with Blue LED channel numbers and a blue-lit meter. This is easier on the eyes during night driving compared to harsh red or white lights. The microphone jack has been conveniently moved to the front panel, solving a common issue with tight installations where side-mounted jacks get in the way.

Versatile Frequency Capability As a 10-meter amateur radio, it operates on AM and FM modes. It includes a 6-band selector (A-F) and a +10kHz switch, giving you access to a wide range of frequencies beyond the standard channels (license required for operation).

After Modification this radio is capable of 10 and 11 meter operation on these 6 bands

Connex radios sometimes have a small scratch or ding that the factory covers with black touch up. We cannot effect this and do not guarantee your radio to be cosmetically perfect. Bells CB will make no marks or scratches on your radio ourselves. Connex radio might though and I cannot control it.
