Hey 352,

So far so good with mine. They are cheaper than a lot of radios,but
hopefully it will keep on working. I went from a Galaxy Pluto to the 200. I
like the extra power but could have done without the lighted background.

Hey, who's that pudgy guy in the blue shirt taking the picture of the Cobra
200? You can see the reflection on the channel knob; look closely, you can
see the tripod and the camera, as well as his buddy standing next to him...

The radios look sharp. The store 'Best Buys' was selling them here for about
$250 a couple of months ago.

The 'newer' vesion of the Cobra 200 has Toshiba finals in it. Apparently it
was the 'older' ones that were having problems with smoked finals and
drivers. The new version also has a limiter in it, so max output on SSB is
now about 125 watts or so
