 Uniden 78/Cobra 29 review Mar 25, 2008
By Doc McElroy
This product seems to be built well and Uniden is a good brand in CB radio.
Pros:
* Included ergonomic mic is noise-canceling (cuts out your stereo noise, wind noise, etc.)
* Weather bands are nice and work anywhere
* Wire this straight to your battery and it is nearly static-free on the highway. Very clean receive on this unit.
* PA output is louder than other radios I've tried
* Antenna warning light should keep you from keying up and frying your radio if your antenna system has failed
Cons:
* Have not found anything major yet
Notes:
* DSC is only good for very close transmissions. Leave it off if you wish to hear signals past 1/2 mile
* Delta Tune doesn't really do much so don't waste your time trying to adjust it
* This unit is basically the same as the Cobra 29 on the inside

Uniden PC 78 Elite Jan 09, 2007
By T. Kohlman
I have used CB'S for over twenty years, This one is the best I have used in that time. I might add that for me it is the "fanciest" one I have ever bought. I do find the weather channel to be useful as I commute across the country. The ergonomic mike is a pleasure to use, I expect to see copycats on the market soon. You could spend a lot more for a CB and not get any better performance.

Uniden PC78 Elite Apr 16, 2011
By Scott
"I like History and Christian Fiction. I like to recommend books that are descriptive, but not something I wouldn't recommend to my kids."
This is a good solid radio with all the expected features. I'm really glad to see they put the RF gain knob on this one. This is something I'm sure you'll find very useful once you've used it a little. It allows you to (in a way) turn the noise that is the squelch down to nothing, but when someone who is a ways away, says something, you'll be able to hear them and then respond. To use this feature keep the squelch knob turned all the way counter clockwise and adjust the RF gain knob to where there is little or no noise. If you've never had this function before, I think you'll really like it.
Being able to check the weather any time is also really nice. I've never had this before, and I really like it, although I'm not sure this couldn't cause some kind of interference, by basically having two radios in one unit. I keep this turned off on the station selector knob when not in use.
Any Uniden I've ever owned over the past 18 years has been just a good solid radio. And when it comes time to turn it up, I know I'll be able to go into to my favorite radio shop and they'll have all the room they need to make it do anything I need.

 great radio Jan 28, 2010
By E. Tobeck
Radio works great including clear reception, when nobody talks, there is little to no static. Only thing lowering from 5 stars was uniden not honoring rebate. They claim no upc included, no way to prove them wrong, my loss.
