Does the Cobra 29 LTD do FM as well as AM?

Yes. It covers all 40 channels in both AM and FM, so it works with the growing number of FM CB users.

How much power does it put out?

4 watts, the maximum legal output for CB in the US. That is the same ceiling as its main rivals.

Do I need a separate antenna?

Yes. The radio ships with a microphone, bracket, hardware and power cord, but no antenna. Plan on a tuned external antenna for good range.

How is it different from older 29 models?

The main change is FM coverage on all 40 channels. The classic chassis, controls and 4-watt output carry over.

Can I tune the antenna from the radio?

It has built-in SWR calibration, so you can check and adjust antenna match without a separate meter.

Does it have single sideband?

No. It is AM/FM only. If you want SSB, look at radios built for that mode.
