Cobra maintains its market dominance by maximizing its competitive advantages of being a product innovator and applying cutting-edge technologies.The 18 WX ST II CB radio features SoundTracker Noise Reduction System. While previous systems only "blanked out" or limited noise in higher sound frequencies, the revolutionary new SoundTracker System actually reduces noise while leaving the signal intact in the reception mode. In the transmission mode, it actually strengthens the signal, providing you with a significant reduction in noise on reception and transmission.

Good for the $$ August 1, 2008
The radio is good for the $$ but i wish i paid $30 less for it! there is no RF gain which would make this a sweet deal, i pick up farther than i can transmit but cannot block out what i want to hear, if only i could turn down the RF! PA option would have been nice also. weather band is sweet! I installed it in the dash below my regular radio which is a bonus. sound tracker works decent as well as the dual watch but the scan feature is sketchy since there is no RF gain control! the knobs feel loose and chintzy feels like a G.I. Joe walkie talkie! i like the radio it will stay installed in the truck but i already ordered a sweet Connex 4600 Turbo SuperWhackedPacked for when i need to stomp the mud ducks! =op
 Not so great June 1, 2008
I've had this CB for 10 months now. The main reasons I bought it for are the compact size and multi-scan features, which work well. However two real big gripes about this radio are no RF gain control and it's "super shiny light reflecting" black tinted face which makes it extremely difficult to read what channel you're on in daylight. I often have to have the squelch set so high to block static (from everywhere), that I don't get reception anyway. It also makes a little static "tick" noise as it does it two channel priority watch scan, which I find very annoying. In fact, I no longer turn the radio on when I'm in the vehicle. I would not buy this model radio again and am planning to replace it.
 Picks Noise from Everything May 28, 2008
I have three CB radios: Honda JC-216H for my motorcycle ($600.- and it's the reason that I start with CB), Midland 75-822 ($85), and this Cobra 18 WX ST II ($64). My ratings to these three CB are: Cobra 1 star, Midland and Honda 5 stars.
The 18WX is very bad compare with 75-822 about noise filtering. I installed them two in the same SUV with identical antennas (Cobra HGA-1500), the 18WX picks noise from every thing: engine, fuel pump, folding motor of mirror, air conditioner, horn and even horn of those cars beside you. The 75-822 just pick nothing but a little the folding motor. It's totally terrible when you use it while driving.
 Great service-product April 25, 2008
Product was shipped and recieved very fast, and in great shape. This is a great CB radio with NOAA radio, and has scan for the cb channels. A great buy

I recently installed this radio in my Toyota FJ Cruiser. I didn't want a hand held unit so I purchased this one. It has all the features one would need for any off-roading. I choose to mount the unit on the center console, passenger side. It is clean, easy to get to and not in the way of any passenger. I also like like the 10 NOAA channel feature. It comes in handy.
I did purchase a kit specifically for the FJ to complete this. I used a bandi antenna mount, firestik coax cable, super heavy antenna mount spring, quick release and 3' firestik adjustabe antenna.
For the price this is a pretty good unit.
