Lack of information
 
Review Date: June 4, 2010
Reviewer: Old Dog, Texas
The first reason I don't like this item is based on a lack of information. The ad says "compatible with" and lists a number of radios with no specifics. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with all the listed radios, and a little information would have helped, since the radios I bought at the same time were not compatible. Then on arrival, there were no instructions on assembly or installation included with the item. While not rocket science, it might have helped to at least have an illustration of how it should be assembled and installed.
After some use, I've found that the velcro on the PTT switch is not long enough to go around a handlebar grip on a motorcycle. It also fell off the user's finger and ended up against the hot exhaust, and burned up. What a piece of junk! I wouldn't give two cents for this product, if I had it to do over again!

Very Good Product
 
Review Date: January 12, 2007
Reviewer: Donald A. De Motta Sr.,
I am very satisfied with my purchase of this microphone. It has a good clarity and has boosted my modulation much more then my stock mike did. I am using it with my Cobra 148 GTL SSB/AM 40 channel CB Radio in my truck and so far it has done the job I had wanted it to do. For the price, it cannot be beat in my opinion.

Review Date: August 15, 2010
Reviewer: Spy, Arkansas
When you do a few simple mods to this microphone it performs very impressively.

Before the mods, the HG M75 sounds "closer to a non-power stock mic with a dynamic 600 ohm element, known for a telephone sounding (300Hz to 3KHz) low audio".

After the mods, you'll be thinking, "Now, that's audio - over 40dB gain from 500Hz to 22kHz!"

You'll void the warranty, but the risk/reward was worth it to me. Google
"Cobra HG M75 Power Mic fix/upgrade (+20dB gain)" and you'll find the pdf file that's hosted at [...]

There are photos and detailed descriptions of how to "increase the audio dramatically matching or surpassing most power mics on the market without distortion."

You'll need a soldering iron, a 220 ohm resistor, a 0.47uF to 1uF capacitor, and some basic soldering skills. In half an hour (or a bit longer if you're a slow worker) you'll have a punchy and sweet-sounding mic that will be heard and probably mistaken for higher quality.

Compared to the stock sound of an HG M75 it's a quantum leap!

Set your cb to optimal modulation, add a properly tuned antenna, use this modded microphone, and you'll be grinning from ear-to-ear!

Good mike great price!
 
Review Date: February 9, 2007
Reviewer: 5port, NY
I dont think you can beat a good CB power mike for under $20. I'm using it on my Galaxy DX959 SSB rig and am getting good audio reports on SSB with a comment of "a little midrangy". Thats not a bad thing when punching through noise. The big bonus with this mike is the design of it. It looks like something you would find in a helicopter cockpit. Very aeronautic with is bulging wind screen and red led that lights on transmit to give you a battery indicator. The transmit switch is easy on the fingers and the general design is well thought out for a mike in this price range. Audio level adjust is at the rear top of the mike like the old Turner +2. Great value.
Cobra CB Mic.

Reviewer: W. Finnerty,
We thought the mic. was the problem with the CB we had and ordered this. It came promptly, and seems fine, but the CB still doesn't work, so it's probably no faulut of this product, but our CB (hopefully)! Anyway, the shipment was quick and the product seems great. Thanks!

Product Description

Other CB antennas are hand made. That means they're hand wound. Hand soldered. And hand glued. With so much variation, no two can ever be exactly alike. But every K40 is exactly the same. Unvarying. Totally consistent. In materials, construction, and most importantly - in performance. That's because we computer design each and every component. And then match and assemble them on a fully automated production line. With tolerances that you just can't get with old-fashioned hand assembly. The result: Antenna performance that's far and away the best you can buy. At any price. And that means whatever road you travel, you can use your K40 with that wonderful feeling of supreme confidence. Guaranteed!

It work perfectly and it resists pretty rought weather.
 
Review Date: November 2, 2008
Reviewer: Daniel Henriquez, Venezuela
I've used it several times to travel inside Venezuela. It has a clean reception. It's very easy to install and to put it off when you're not using it, leaving the mount on. I've been on the beach, the dunes, rives (crossing rivers) and It's worked quite good. I'd buy again.
Amazing
 
Review Date: March 18, 2008
Reviewer: Radio Junky,
Talk about awsome. This antenna combined with a 4 watt midland CB can transmit over 15 miles. It the most durable antenna I have ever seen as well. This is the best antenna you will ever get
Great antenna for the money
 
Review Date: February 16, 2010
Reviewer: O. Abernathy,
I think the k-40 is the best cb antenna going.I have used a k-40 since 1977 & it is the best.
K40 Greatness
 
Review Date: June 25, 2010
Reviewer: Ravenhurst,
I've used the K40 for years. I had it mounted as a base station antenna before I upgraded to an Antron A99. It was mounted on my vehicle for years using the magnet mount until someone stole the coil of my trunk. It's a great antenna, and in my opinion, beats out the wilson competetitor model. (Wilson 1000 I think) I easily got 5 miles of range in a congested town. If you can find one of these antennas for sale, (K40 is more about radar detectors than antennas these days) then buy one!
