When I received this Cobra HH 38 WX ST handheld and taking, a look at them for the first time I was impressed with the sleek design of this CB. Comfortable to hold in your hand with no heavy, bulky feeling to it found in many older models.

Great to use in a noisy factory

One of the main reasons that I bought the Cobra HH38WXST handheld is that it comes with SoundTracker® that works great in my business and for the team. As with this function, it cuts the noise coming in while strengthening the signal when going out and has helped improve our communication when one person is in the factory where there are many noises. It does not cut the noise completely, but helps.

What the system does is reconfigured the transmission signal that allows it to transfer more efficiently through cluttered airwaves. Simultaneously, it significantly reduces the static on all incoming signals and provides a clear sound for reception.
