get a good radio and the best antenna you can now . worry about power later . im for the 2950 sticking to your choices .
Between those two, there is no choice for me. I personally have seen and heard both versions of the 200. My opinion only, but they are junk. Audio is horrible, stability is a joke ( and yes this IS also on the new versions), and they are overall not half the radio a ranger is. I would go with the Ranger without a question.
Yea, thats a no brainer, the 2950 wins hands down. If you like the echo and look of the Cobra 200 you might look at the Magnum Omega force. Blue display, mosfets for about 60 watts peak, and smoken audio. I would argue that even with afew less watts the louder audio of the Omega would meet or beat a Cobra 200 in a shootout.
