Guess who's back?
Guess who's back?
Yeah, that right. Shaft coming to you from the lone star state. I'm about ready to put my P10k on my 2003 Yukon and am possibly considering a new radio. I still have my SWP General Lee which is an awesome radio, but want to consider running something else. I may run an amp too, but at this time don't really know.
So help this retired moderator and suggest a new radio. I usually just stay on 11 meter AM, but would like the ability to play around too.

Yeah,, didn't know you were gone,, it has been a couple of years. Best to give GI Joe's a call and see what he recommends.

I've been thinking about the new Cobra 29lx Max. I really like how it can integrate with the iRadar app.

Nice radio, I've been watching for Cobra to bring out a new 148 SSB model in the LX series, maybe with the same bells and whistles.

Re: Guess who's back?
wondered where you had been.
so, as for the new radio, watching the videos of it makes me wonder if it is any more of a cb than an old one,
i am thinking the oldies are more fun, because of ease of working on, modifications, and acting more like a radio.
of course the new one with all its features can be appreciated.
one of the other videos says it is a crap of non QC parts and workmanship,,,, i dont know, i take it with a grain of salt.
maybe it is compared to a old rebuild,,,,
so,, i tooo would like to see a SSB model.
but the new stuff is too pricey for me.
specially when i got a working unit already.
now if they come up with a unit that cooks and cleans too, well then,,,

Re: Guess who's back?
I'm a direct dealer for Cedar Electronics (Cobra's parent company) and can buy it for the same price as a distributor. I also have a distributor that sells Texas Star, so I am considering getting one of those.
I wouldn't mind getting my HAM ticket too and running a mobile.
