I have heard new Cobras suck. Get an old one, or a new Uniden.

Uniden made the old cobras. The new one like the NW series, is not made by
Uniden. I gad a Galaxy. The ****er drifted like an unanchored boat. They were
great on AM, ****ty on SSB. Uniden have superior receive.

Thanks for the heads up. Then there is no point in buying an SSB
Galaxy. I am looking for the best reciever then I probably need to be
looking at the Uniden.

I have a Grant LT, which is their SSB version. This is the same radio as the
Grant XL, with a couple extra features. There are AM versions of it. Many of
less then $100. The receive on my Uniden is unbelieveable.

I got a Cobra 75 to save space and the recieve was so bad I had to take
it out. I went out and bought my 3rd Uniden (2nd pc68 elite) because
I like the other 2 so much. I have noticed I have to add extra ground
wires to the dash, roof top, and trunk lid, where in older cars I never
had to.
