Cobra CB radios are the most popular CB radios on the market, and the 25 LTD series has helped Cobra secure their place atop other manufacturers. Comprised of three models, the Cobra 25 LTD Series includes a radio and feature set that is sure to meet the needs of most CB radio users.
Cobra listened attentively to the requests of professional truck drivers and the result is the new and improved Cobra 25 LTD Classic CB radio. Among the improvements that were implemented into the design of the Classic are a front panel microphone connector, a nine-foot microphone cord, and tactile controls. In addition to these features, the Cobra LTD Classic includes several other features:
• Four watts of AM RF power output
• Forty channels the user can select as they please
• Adjustable Dynamike boost: Lets the user control their voice strength and clarity.

• RF Gain: Lets the user adjust the reception signal according to their location.
• Switchable Noise Blanker: Provides additional noise filtration at the user’s discretion.
