See, instead of just picking posts to reply to so you can troll, you should
stick to things you know about and ignore posts that you don't have a useful
answer for. If you had anything to add (such as an answer to my question), you
would have understood what I meant when I called it a "handheld" CB.

The Cobra 75 is a "handheld", all in one mobile CB. It's not a "handie-talkie".
Instead of a square unit that mounts in the car, with a microphone plugged into
it, the Cobra 75 is a CB that you hold in your hand, a little bigger than a
standard Motorola commercial mic. It's got the channel display, on/off, squelch
and a bunch of other buttons on the unit. There's a coil-cord that leads to a
small box, which can be mounted under dash, under a seat, or anywhere else, and
the coax plugs into that. There's also a plug for an external speaker.

So, it's just like any other mobile CB, but it's more compact and doesn't
require you to drill holes. Do a search on the net for it and you'll see what I
mean.

So, back to my original question:

I've seen this radio advertised in overseas websites as "80 channels" and even
as "AM/FM". Does anyone know if there's a mod to change it to either of these?

Took a quick look there Jim, looks as
if there were two models, one for the US
and one for Europe.

Handheld CB's suck. The frequency range is such that you can't efficiently
put a signal in the air. At VHF, you can expect a few miles. At UHF, you
are line of sight, the higher the better.

We're not talking about handheld CB's. I am asking about the Cobra 75.


Lets look at your original post:

Hello all. I just recently bought a Cobra 75. Two things that I thought were
strange was in the manual, when it tells you how to change it from channel to
frequency display, they show a frequency of 27.755, twice in the manual. I did
a search online and I found reference to an 80 channel version of this handheld
CB, as well as one that says it's an AM/FM CB.

Does anyone know if any mods exist for this compact handheld to expand the
channels and add FM coverage?

NOTE: I am well aware of the mode and frequency limitations imposed by the FCC
here in the states, but I don't care. Please don't waste your time replying,
because I'll just ignore your reply and will reply only to authentic attempts
to help me.


Did you notice the second paragraph?


And the first paragraph. Forget it, it's a troll.

No, I'm not a troll. I'm asking a legit question. I am using this CB in my car
now and I'm curious if it's a different version or if it's the same radio with
something done to the insides.
