    I think I'll pick one up when I'm in the states for more than a day so customs doesn't bend me over.

    I ran with some one that had that radio. It comes out doing like 23 watts pep out the box and sounds real good... I'd buy one put a Texas star 350 on it...

    Got one last year, had it twisted on and I like it. Replaced coax and stuck a little better antenna on and was getting out 5+ miles average. Pretty good receive.

    Has a fairly good diagnostic function. TX was showing fail, started looking and sure enough, coax had pinched through. At that point I knew what fried my big radio.:biggrin_2552:

    No way is a Cobra 29lx swinging 23 watts out of the box. After a peak and tune, sure...but not in stock form.
