Product Description Cobra Electronics is a leading global manufacturer of innovative mobile communications products for consumers, having attained a leadership position in every market in which it currently does business. 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.
Amazon.com Product Description This sleek, compact mobile CB radio can quickly and accurately scan through all 40 CR channels. The easy-to-read display shows the channel number, incoming signal strength, and RE power output. The radio can pick up 10 NOAA Weather Radio channels so you always have up-to-the-minute weather news. Its Dual Watch function allows simultaneous monitoring of 2 channels. The heavy-duty microphone extends to 9 feet and has dynamic voice response circuitry for clear communication. The Cobra 18 WX ST II's squelch control eliminates background noise when there is no signal. The unit also provides instant access to emergency channels 9 and 19 for emergency announcements.

Works Fine October 29, 2008 Stephen E. Hudson I wanted this model primarily for the scanning feature-I live and travel in areas with minimal CB activity, and I like to monitor the active channels. It works just as advertised, and I'm happy. The dual channel monitor is also a nice touch, especially as you can select the channels to monitor.
good for beginer October 23, 2008 Grinderdogg Seems to work ok...i get engine noise through it thought, all the features work good and i really love the scan.
Good for the $$ August 1, 2008 J. Heaps (Nashua, NH) The radio is good for the $$ 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 just a nice guy (Antelop Valley, CA.) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 Q. Xue 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.
