I have the same walkie talkies and on mine I can hold down the mode/lock button and it will come off of the Rx mode. Also, you should be able to press the talk button and it will come off of the Rx mode.

I have a Cobra classic 29zLtd.. When you key the mic needle moves a little to the right. When ur close to someone they can hear you when a few links apart they can't .

A manual link is at the bottom of this entry. Troubleshoot the problems you've described: Meter Not Working: The needle moving slightly to the right when you key the mic could be due to incorrect calibration. Make sure to recalibrate the meter according to the manual instructions. If you calibrated it differently, that might cause the needle to go against the right side of the meter. Recalibrating the meter should resolve this issue. Meter Light Problems: If the meter light isn't working, consider replacing the LED. Sometimes, a burnt signal meter light can occur. Replacing the LED should fix this. SWR Meter Not Working: Incorrect SWR calibration or bumping the calibrated knob might cause the SWR meter to malfunction. To check the SWR meter: Turn on the SWR calibrate knob until it keys up all the way at the end. Switch to SWR mode and key the mic. If the needle barely moves, turn down the Dynamike knob. Finally, switch back to S/RF mode. No Receiving Audio: If you're not receiving audio, check the following: Ensure the squelch knob is adjusted correctly. Start with the knob counterclockwise and turn it slowly clockwise until white noise stops. Verify that the microphone is working properly. You can try a different mic to rule out any mic-related issues. Make sure the radio is on the correct channel for transmitting and receiving. ========================================== Calibrating the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) meter on your Cobra Classic 29zLtd CB radio is essential for optimal antenna performance. Follow these steps to calibrate it properly: Prepare the Setup: Park your vehicle at least 20 feet away from trees and buildings. Close all doors, hood, and trunk. Choose the Channel: Select the channel you want to check. It's recommended to test on channels 1, 20, and 40. SWR Calibration: On the radio, press the SWR/CAL button until the display shows "CAL." While pressing the transmit button on the microphone, turn the SWR CAL knob (the last knob on the right) until the meter needle aligns with the "CAL" mark. Release the transmit button. Switch to SWR Mode: Push the SWR/CAL button again until the display shows "SWR." Read the SWR: Press the transmit button on the microphone. Observe the SWR reading on the top scale of the meter. Ideally, the SWR should be below 3. Lower values are better. Remember that SWR is a measure of antenna performance, and poor SWR can be caused by the antenna, antenna cable, or installation. Adjust the antenna length to achieve similar SWR readings on channels 1 and 40 while keeping it below 3. Most antennas are adjustable; refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific adjustments. cobra-29ltdclassic-cb-radio-user-manual.pdf (roadtrucker.com) MANUAL

How to wire a Sadelta M3 to a Cobra 29 LTD Classic

I believe to wire a Sadelta M3 microphone to a Cobra 29 LTD Classic CB radio: The Sadelta M3 microphone has four wires: white, shield (bare wire), red, and black. The Cobra 29 LTD Classic CB radio's microphone jack also has four pins: Pin 1 (Audio), Pin 2 (Ground), Pin 3 (Transmit), and Pin 4 (Receive). To wire the Sadelta M3 to the Cobra 29 LTD Classic, you need to connect each wire from the microphone to its corresponding pin on the microphone jack. The white wire carries the audio signal from the microphone's element to the radio, the shield wire provides a ground connection, the red wire activates the radio's transmit function when the microphone is keyed, and the black wire is used for receive audio. Here are the specific steps to follow:
  1. Cut off the existing microphone plug on the Sadelta M3 microphone cord.
  2. Strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from each of the four wires in the Sadelta M3 microphone cord.
  3. Connect the wires to the pins on the microphone jack as follows:
  • White wire to Pin 1 (Audio)
  • Shield (bare wire) to Pin 2 (Ground)
  • Red wire to Pin 3 (Transmit)
  • Black wire to Pin 4 (Receive)
  1. Solder each wire to its corresponding pin on the microphone jack. You may want to use a multimeter to verify that each connection is solid and that there are no shorts or open circuits.
  2. Once you have soldered all the wires, test the microphone by speaking into it and checking that the radio's TX meter moves as you speak. Also, check that you can hear audio through the radio's speaker when receiving signals.
  3. If the microphone is working correctly, use heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to cover the soldered connections and provide strain relief for the wires.
Note that some microphones, including the Sadelta M3, may have additional features such as a built-in amplifier or power supply that require additional wiring.

Cobra 29 NW LTD Classic won't transmit and no sound but will receive

The power output transistor has probably failed; usual cause is poor connection, excessive SWR or widely out of specification aerial.

Where do you find make and model?

La radio Cobra XLR CB es un modelo m?s antiguo, por lo que es posible que no tenga un n?mero de serie. Para averiguar el a?o de producci?n, puede buscar el n?mero de modelo en el sitio web de Cobra o ponerse en contacto con su departamento de servicio al cliente para obtener m?s informaci?n. Adem?s, si planea vender la radio, es posible que desee consultar con una tienda local de electr?nica o radio CB para obtener una estimaci?n de su valor.

I have a cobra 29 LX BT. It turns on but I can't get any of the buttons to work. The dials seem to work but I'm not sure since I don't know much about cb radios. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, Please double check that your device has new batters or is charged up properly. Then, you would need to have a means of testing the device through instructions from a third party like a radio station/center or other organizations that broadcast to devices like your own. To further learn how to use your device, you can peruse it's manual. Thank you.

I need to know what type of antenna should I use for a 1993 model cobra 29 LTD Classic . Both mobile and base?

There are a lot of antennas on the market, you need to be wary or some of the cheaper ones because the corrode quickly. Antennas are a very important part of any radio setup and they can make or break your signal. I use this company and I highly recommend them: Sirio Antenne - HOME

I have a cobra 25 classic. When I hooked up the mic and keyed down it smoked? It done when I put the battery on it

No aerial/poor connection to the aerial will cause the PT to burn up taking the 2A fuse out. If there is no fuse you will have the added delight of repairing the burnt pcboard inside as well as a new power transistor.
