Yes, the 76 does have PA abilities, but apparently Cobra isn't selling the 76s anymore.:bandit:

true.dat, eBay FTW!
This place is somewhat local and I've ordered through them before. They've got oodles of the 76 for $48 each.

Not a bad deal there at all, I calc'd $57 shipped from there, I got mine on eBay for $70 shipped with a Cobra S300 external speaker.

Cobra doesn't produce the 76 any more and the only model produced was the XTR. I don't use the included antenna and at night the blue LED's can be a bit bright. I'll bet that they can be removed or covered up by opening it up and modding it.
I'm already looking at how I can fix that... Worst case scenario, I'll just take them out.

The lights can be removed, but the blue cover is still utofcloset:
I was thinking of painting the shell, but it seems like the labels are printed on the cover. Can anyone confirm it? Because if they are engraved, I think I will be able to paint it black and fill in the words with white.

Hummmmm, a rheostat on the back would be nice....I don't mind the blue lights, I just would prefer them to be dimmable!

A possible solution to the blue:
Solution 1) Take it apart and dye the shell w/ RIT clothing dye (it is pretty easy to dye most plasitc).
Solution 2) Take it apart and apply a thin spray of black spray paint on the inside of the plastic shell pieces. This will subdue the blue LEDs and the clear blue plastic shell.
Disclaimer: I don't have this unit so I can't know for sure so use at your own risk if you decide to do so.
