I have tried to get you answer on this, but haven't been able to. This was bought for the company I work for, and the department that I bought it for hasn't gotten back to me on this.Dan

I'm very pleased with the antenna. To answer the question YES it picks up the weather channels. The antenna is attached to my Cobra 38 WXST handheld radio. I really don't think you will have any issues with it.

Yes, I think so--was thinking of getting that one--but the weather radio feature is good to have. Great little radio!

It will work fine - if you're talking about a CB radio with the built in weather band, as the weather section is set up to be used with a 27mhz antenna. If you're talking about using this with a police scanner, no.

I would not recommend this radio. There is no WX (weather) key. To get to the weather, you have to scroll the small black band at the bottom of the display. Difficult to see in an office setting. Impossible to see in sunny, pitching seas.

I have XM radio. However we used to it in some pretty remote areas of the Northwoods. The weather band was already used. There were a couple that came in pretty clear the rest were pretty staticky but I could still hear the forecast and I could still prepare for any income at weather. They work great for 18 bucks.

Yes it does.You can leave it on constantly which could be annoying since it is a repeated broadcast ny NOAA. Or leave it in alert mode in the event of a storm, disaster, etc...

Yes, there is a switch at the bottom for AM/FM/WB/Alert. Although I have it set to Alert, I've never actually heard it broadcast an alert. I have another NOAA radio that does broadcast, so I know when this one should be going off but doesn't.

We live in an area prone to severe weather and rely heavily on a small battery operated television for weather reports when the power is out; it helps so much to be able to see the radar! I am very concerned that when the switch to digital comes in February, we will lose any "air" options.

No, if you use the FRS or GMRS band channels. Check google for the corresponding channels to frequencies, just google frs or gmrs channel frequency list.

No they don't. These radios cover the FRS/GMRS ("Family Radio Service" / "General Mobile Radio Service") whose frequencies are in the UHF band, around 460Mhz; additionally these units use FM modulation. CB ("Citizen's Band") is in the high HF band, around 26Mhz, and use AM modulation. As you can see, they are totally incompatible by both band and modulation.

Are you talking about the weather channel TV show? No it does not get TV station. It's a radio.

Yes it does. Seems the only thing it doesn't have is the weather band station...never used it so no big loss.

The LTD is the more "basic" model, with an analog meter. The WX is the LTD with weather channels & weather alert. The LX has weather & a digital meter plus digital controls. There are several other version of the Cobra 29, including some with backlit front panel illumination (Cobra calls this "Nightwatch"). The LX looks cool, but is more prone to malfunctioning, especially if it gets wet.

You need to take the radio into a cb shop, it needs to be tuned for the antenna you have and to check the ground

This radio will not stay charged, even with new batteries. The weather channel will give you alerts only if turned on. Not sure about handle, just gave the thing away at a garage sale. Ugh
