Amazon.com Product Description
This sleek, compact mobile CB radio can quickly and accurately scan through all 40 CR channels. The easy-to-read LCD display shows the channel number, incoming signal strength, and RE power output in digital or normal CB channel readout. The radio can pick up 10 NOAA Weather Radio channels so you always have up-to-the-minute weather news. Its Dual Watch function allows simultaneous monitoring of 2 channels. The unique design unifies microphone and radio into one piece, so the entire CB radio can fit easily into your hand or can be nicely tucked away under a dashboard. The Cobra 25 WX ST also provides instant access to emergency channel 9 for emergency announcements.
Product Description
The C75-WXST is an all-in-handset Mobile CB with Soundtracker and weather channels. SoundTracker is the first patented technology that dramatically improves the transmission and reception of CB radio signals. The result is a cleaner, clearer sounding CB with more "powerful" transmissions and less static or noise on reception. The C75-WXST provides complete access to all 40 Citizen Band Radio channels. 10 National Weather Channels (7 NOAA and 3 International) provide full coverage to keep you informed of weather conditions anywhere you go. Remote installation box installs out of sight under your dash and the quick disconnect allows removal of the headpiece for security or use in other vehicles. Dual Watch allows simultaneous monitoring of any two preselected channels. Full Channel Scan allows you to scan all 40 channels. All the information you need is provided from the full-featured LCD display panel. Choose normal CB channel readout or five-digit frequency display.

 Great purchase November 13, 2008
Joshua Bowers (Iowa, USA)
I drive a Jeep Liberty and lets just say they aren't known for their extra leg room or any other kind of room. I really wanted to have a CB because of the nature of my work but felt limited due to space. I didn't want to stick a radio on the passenger side like everyone suggests because I knew it would be in my wife's way when she rides with me. I got the 75 and it has been great. I mounted the connection box between the passenger seat and the center console. From there i have plenty of cable with the radio to hang it just under the passenger side air vent. I got an external speaker but really don't need it. The Jeep is a little noisy but I can hear the radio just fine, even better than the external speaker. I have a cheap mag mount antenna on the roof and I'm pulling in conversations around ten miles away.
Great, great, great purchase.
The weather channel is handy too.
I really like the "dual watch" capability which allows me to monitor two channels or I can scann through all 40.
Buy this one. It may not be fancy but it gets the job done.
I work with the Highway Patrol and they often put this unit in their cars.
Outstanding radio November 2, 2008
William A. Hoggan
Cobra has always produce excellent equipment. This one eliminated the need to mount the typical radio under the dash or eat up alot of other space.
Great bang for the buck! October 25, 2008

I picked this up to put in my Grand Cherokee, and it works perfectly. I think the speaker volume is plenty loud, although if you drove something not as quiet (say a Wrangler, or something with big mud tires/loud exhaust), I would say go for an external speaker. Reception is great and people have no problem hearing me. Great CB for the ocasional CB'er!
Good, not perfect August 29, 2008
Gearhead Jim (N.W. 'burbs of Chicago)
We use the unit in a Corvette, and there is no convenient place to mount a regular CB; the Cobra solves that problem nicely. We had the local stereo shop install a cigarette lighter plug on the Cobra power cord so we just plug it into a lighter outlet. The built in speaker is rather weak, we bought a Cobra S500 external speaker that sits on the shelf behind the driver seat and works very well. The volume and squelch controls are sometimes moved by accident when handling the unit. We removed the hanger stud on the back of the unit and put a piece of fuzzy velcro there, a mating piece of hook velcro on top of the console keeps the unit handy. These units seem rather short-lived, ours are heavily used about 2 weeks per year but just sit in the car the rest of the time, two previous units both died at 3 years.
Summary- not perfect, but the best solution available for our situation.
 Worked for two weeks August 29, 2008

Handset is bulky and not comfortable to use. Speaker in handset sounded terrible while it worked. After two weeks the radio no longer produces any sound. Everything lights up like it thinks it's working but there is no sound at all.
I hope I can just return this item for a refund
