October 18, 201510 yr Is the CB radio in the General Lee in the old TV series a Cobra 77x or 78x? I seem to remember reading that the Cobra 78x was used in the TV series but want to be sure.
October 19, 201510 yr I think it really depends on what episode your watching. I made this screenshot from season 7 episode 1, Looks like a cobra but not a 77x or a 78x.
October 19, 201510 yr The Cobra 77x and 78x are quite similar to each other, but nothing like the one above. The 77x has an extra knob marked "DYNAMIKE", and the level meter on the left uses a different graphic. When I Googled Dukes of Hazzard CB radio, most of the results showed the 78x, and that's also the one that gets mentioned a couple of times on this forum. I don't have a screengrab to prove it, but I'll look out for one. Here are the models in question.
October 22, 201510 yr Author I spoke with Jon Holland about the CB radio. He told me the Cobra 78x was seen one time. All the other times a sharp 40 channel was seen. Below is a picture of the Sharp 40 channel CB which looks a lot like the one in the screen grab Roth Potter posted above. Edited October 22, 201510 yr by Boss JD Hogg
