Single-sideband comeback, more power and another new product reveal?

One thing’s for sure, ever since Cedar Electronics, the parent company of Cobra, successfully petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to allow for the addition of FM to CB radios—a four year-long process—the Illinois-based company has been moving fast to step up their game in the quickly evolving world of fleet electronics.

After recently announcing the addition of FM to their most popular CBs, Cobra is now poised to strike again with another unveiling coming up this month at the Mid-America Trucking Show.

While Mark Karnes, vice president of Cedar Electronics, wouldn't say much about their upcoming reveal, he did encourage folks to come by their booth at the Kentucky Expo Center where they’ll have “some new exciting things to talk about.”

When asked about Cobra’s interest in other fleet electronics like telematics and mapping, Karnes again alluded to MATS.
