Waaaaah! I hear some jealousy out there! Why would a ham get pissed cause someone bought a better radio than his to transmit on CB? One would think that he would be happy! This due to the fact of finally having a neighbor throwing a "clean" signal! A neighbor that sounds good and doesnt disturb his CQDX! I know alot of hams that dont hang out on hambands anymore because the only conversation that could ever be of interest is if you are a pharmicist. The only talk that goes on is about the medication the Bob is taking and what kind of equipment they are running. The same ol B.S.! The hams come to 11 meters to get away from all the boring dribble and all the "rules"
 
Whoa now!

Ya know, I've heard this "old man" ham stuff until I am tired of it. So, with all due respect, I feel that equal time is due the hams on this subject of medicines, etc to rebut this, OK? Now if anybody takes high offense, I am sorry, but this is NOT representative of the entire Amateur community at all. The truth be told, if you put ANY group of older Americans together, there *may* be discussion of their aches, pains, and the Dr's they went to and it doesn't have anything to do with being a ham. In fact, I can turn on my CB base and listen and hear the SAME discussion=--enough to make me get down my fiddle and play an old Jack Benny routine (and if you don't know who he was, go look it up! ;) )! What *I* hear on ham radio is new hams on 2 Meters being "destinated" (there's no such word) and you can tell they came from CB because they talk about their "home 20" or an occasional "tan fer". Or "first personal". YUCK! Or I hear a discussion among other hams HELPING newer hams and welcoming them to the hobby, OR...................a discussion about construction of J-poles, dipoles, and other poles. NOT the aches and pains of older people. And I got news fer ya: if you GET old, you WILL get those aches and pains that you mock whether you gripe about it on a CB, ham radio, or a telephone. But it's better to GET old than to suffer the alternative! :cry: You WILL be so you can't get up and down as well as you used to, and, yes, you will likely be taking those medications you think all hams have to take and that's all they can talk about! Well, It ain't so! And I would rather be discussing the "Q" of an antenna on ham radio than doing what I often hear on CB. (Are you ready for this?). Honesly, the knowledge of MANY of those people you ridicule about radio would put you to SHAME. (And me, too!)

Are you ready for this? :p

"Tan fer thar, ah know whutcha mean, shore do thar, Mercy Sakes 'live, I heerd that, ah did, guaran-tole ye, gre't day thar,
shore thang, ah know you rah't thar, ah-ah-ah, mercy, git back thar SQUEEEEEEEEEK (echo echo echo echo") All that rigamarole just to say the word YES! :p :D

What did he accomplish other than prove that he had nothing worthwhile to say to start with? :?:

if YOU can generalize, criticize, and catagorize, so can I! :D
 
I just saw a 200 on Ebay.Ebay and I saw the same thing last week on Yahoo! auctions. They are selling them on Backorder! Personally, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on an unproven PLL controlled radio, especially one that will obviously be shoddy like ALL the new Cobra radios!
 
Well I dunno who exactly is manufacturing the cobra exports but Giant Electronics builds the classic models and the 19DX4. Giant doesn't do shoddy work like the maxon built cobra's.
 
Mabee they are decently put together, still why spend that much money on a radio no one knows about???? I never have liked Cobra anyways (only the 2000). I never could understand why anyone would spend more money on a name when they could get the real deal in a Uniden. Then Cobra really ruined things by dropping Uniden! Buy a Uniden HR2510 instead of wasting your money on another Cobra LOOSER!
 
Shopping for the Cobra 200 GTL DX yet?
Here is my 15 minutes online shop around. I'm sure you can find great deals spending a little more time... But I decided to play the GEIGO game and spend just 15 minutes.
Here we go... from the highest price to the lowest:
