Location
Mount your Cobra 75 WX ST Connector Box in
a convenient location, away from moisture and
direct sunlight, in a location that will not
interfere with driving.
Mounting Connect Box
Hold Cobra 75 WX ST Connector Box in exact
location desired for mounting.
Using it as a template, mark the location for
the mounting screws (included.)
Mounting

Cobra suggests mounting it either under the
front seat or on the fire wall.

Mounting and
Connections
Mounting and Connections
The Junction Box is held by two screws, permitting
mounting in the manner most convenient for
your installation.
Mounting and
Connections
For constant 12 volt source power, connect
the red wire marked “BATT(+)”directly to the
positive side of the battery or to a connection
on the fuse block that is always on.
Mounting hardware is supplied for mounting the
Junction Box. The mounting must be mechanically
strong and also provide a good electrical connection
to the chassis of the vehicle. Proceed as follows to
mount junction box:
After you have determined the most convenient
location in your vehicle, hold the Cobra HH-75
WX ST Junction Box in the exact location
desired. If nothing will interfere with mounting
it in the desired position,use the Junction Box
as a template to mark the location for the
mounting screws. Before drilling the holes,
make sure nothing will interfere with the
installation of the mounting screws.
Connect the antenna cable connector to
the antenna receptacle on the unit. Most CB
antennas are terminated with a type PL-259
plug and mate with the receptacle.
Caution
Connect the black wire marked “Ground” to the
negative side of the car,usually the chassis. Any
other location with good electrical contact paint
removed will also work.
Remove rubber grommet from metal
mounting plate (1).
Leaving the 75 WX ST on after
your car is turned off can drain
your car battery when connected
to a constant 12 volt source.
When connected to an accessory
12 volt source the unit will turn
off when vehicle is turned off.

CB Antenna
CB Antenna
Installation
For the most reliable
operation and maximum
range, Cobra recommends using a vertically
polarized, quarter wave
length whip antenna
(illustration A).
Note
Mobile installations (cars,
trucks, boats, etc) should be
made only with a non-directional antenna system.
Shorter, loaded-type
whips are adequate when
maximum range is not
required (illustration B)
A standard antenna connector
(Type SO-239) is provided on
the Connector Box for easy connection 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.
External
Speaker
Installation
External Speaker Installation
Mount external speaker in desired location.
Plug jack into the back of the Connec tor Box
labled EXT.
*The external speaker should have 4-8 ohms
impedance and be able to handle at least 4 watts.
Ignition Noise Interference
Ignition Noise
Interference
The alternator and ignition system in your vehicle
may limit your ability to receive low signal le vels.
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.
For maximum efficiency in boat
installations, a ground plate is
required, unless the vessel has a
steel hull. Consult your CB dealer for information regarding an
adequate grounding system.

Note
Sound clarity is measured by

the signal-to-noise ratio, the
better the sound.

Soundtracker
System
Soundtracker 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.
On Reception –
“Cuts Noise Coming In”
With a normal CB, distant signals fall below
the squelch level and are unintelligible. With
a SoundTracker CB, the noise level is cut by up
to 90%, which increases the signal-to-noise
ratio and dramatically improves signal clarity.
This also allows you to significantly reduce the
squelch level, which greatly expands your
listening range.
On Transmission –
“Strengthens 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.

Gate closed
Turn CB on by turning the volume
control clockwise. Adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
If you turn the squelch control fully counterclockwise, it lowers the “squelch gate” so low
that everything gets through - noise, weak
signals and strong signals.
Gate open
Before setting the squelch control on your radio,
you must select a channel that is not in use.
Turn on SoundTracker
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.
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.

WEATHER CHANNEL MESSAGES
You can receive up to the minute local area
weather reports provided by NOAA (National
Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) 24
hours a day,
7 days a week. An agency of the U.S.
Department of Commerce, NOAA warns of
dangerous weather, charts our seas and skies,
guides our use and protection of o cean and
coastal resources and conducts research to
improve our understanding and stewardship
of the environment.
The National Weather Service operates about
380 stations. Approximately 90 percent of the
Nation’s population is within listening range
of a NOAA Weather Radio broadcast.
A similar network of about 15 stations using the
same frequencies broadcast continuous weather information across much of southern
Canada.
If you have a question concerning NOAA
Weather Radio or wish to receive a listing of
NOAA Weather Radio receiver locations,
please contact your nearest National Weather
Service Office, or write to National Weather
