tional antenna system. A standard antenna connector
(Type SO-239) is provided on the Connector Box for easy con-
nection to a standard PL-259 cable termination. Cobra antenna models are recommended;see your local CB dealer or order directly from Cobra.See order form on page 39. For maximum efficiency in boat installations, a ground plate is required, unless the vessel has a steel hull. Consult your CB deal-
er for information regarding an adequate grounding system. Installation External Speaker Installation External Speaker Installation 1 2 Mount external speaker in desired location. Plug jack into the back of the Connec tor Box labled EXT.
*The exte rnal spe a ker should have 4-8 ohms i m pe d a n ce and be able to handle at least 4 wat t s. CB Antenna For the most reliable operation and maximum range, Cobra recom-
mends using a vertically polarized, quarter wave length whip antenna
(illustration A). Shorter, loaded-type whips are adequate when maximum range is not required (illustration B) A B Ignition Noise Interference The alternator and ignition system in your vehicle may limit your ability to receive low signal levels. Other noise interference can be the result of several different installation variables. Consult your Cobra dealer or a 2-way radio technician to help locate and correct the source of severe noise interference. Ignition Noise Interference 8 9 75 WX ST Manual(5188) 2/5/01 3:00 PM Page 10 Operation Turning Your CB On Turning On 1 1 Ro t ate the power ON-OFF Volume Co nt rol cloc w i s e. Tu rn the Sq u e l c h Co nt rol co u nte r c l oc kwise unt i l noise is heard. 1 Adjust volume to a co m fo rtable leve l. Selecting a Channel Note Sound clarity is measured by the ratio of the signal level to the noise level. The higher the signal-to-noise ratio, the better the sound. Selecting a Channel 1 2 Change channels by p ressing either the channel s up or channel t d own key. To quick-advance channels, press and hold either key. Operation Soundtracker System Soundtracker System While previous sys tems only b l a n ked out or l i m i ted noise in higher sound fre q u e n c i e s, the revo l u t i o n a ry new So u n d Tra c ker Sys tem act u a l l y re d u ces noise while leaving the signal int a ct in the re ception mod e. In the transmission mod e, i t a ctually strengthens the signal, p roviding you with a significa nt re d u ction in noise on re ception and t ra n s m i s s i o n . On Re ce p t i on Cuts Noise Coming In With a normal CB, d i s t a nt signals fall be l ow the squelch level and are uninte l l i g i b l e. With a So u n d Tra c ker CB, the noise level is cut by up to 90%, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio and dra m at i cally improves signal clari ty. This also allows you to significa ntly re d u ce the squelch leve l , which gre atly expands your l i s tening ra n g e. On Tra n s m i s s i on St rengthens Signals Going Out A SoundTracker CB strengthens the transmit signal by more effectively using the available RF power output of the CB.The result is improved transmission signal clarity and an expanded transmission range. 10 11 75 WX ST Manual(5188) 2/5/01 3:00 PM Page 12 Operation Activating Soundtracker Activating Soundtracker 1 2 Press and release the Sound-Tracker key. ST will be displayed on the LCD readout. Operation Testing Soundtracker Testing Soundtracker 1 2 3 4 Select any unused channel on your CB. Open the squelch control fully by turning the knob counterclock-wise until it stops. Turn the volume up louder than your normal listening level. Press and release the SoundTracker key. Notice the ignificant reduction in noise. 12 13 75 WX ST Manual(5188) 2/5/01 3:00 PM Page 14 Operation Setting the Squelch Setting Squelch Setting Squelch Operation Setting the Squelch Gate closed 1 Turn CB on by turning the volume control clockwise. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level. 5 If you turn the squelch control fully counter-
clockwise, it lowers the squelch gate so low that everything gets through - noise, weak signals and strong signals. 2 3 4 Be fo re setting the squelch co nt rol on your ra d i o, you must select a channel that is not in use. Tu rn on So u n d Tra c ke r To achieve the Desired Squelch Setting
(DSS): Think of your Squelch Control as a gate for incoming signals. If you turn the Squelch Control fully clockwise, it raises the squelch gate so high that no signals get through. Gate open 6 To set the squelch gate to the DSS-Desired Squelch Setting, turn the squelch control counterclockwise until you hear noise.Then turn the squelch control back clockwise just until the noise stops. Now only strong signals get through. The Desired Squelch Setting, (DSS) only allows actual transmissions to come through. This effectively blocks out unwanted noise. 14 15 75 WX ST Manual(5188) 2/5/01 3:00 PM Page 16 Operation LCD Display LCD Display Your Cobra 75 WX ST CB is designed with a liquid crystal display that indicates channel number, or frequency and the operating mode.
