I want to try one of these but want some input on some of you that have had the oppurnitiy to run each of these radios and can give a honst comparison. I do understand that both radios have had bugs or problems in the past. I am intersted on input on durrability,audio,recieve ETC. I am gonna try them both but want to know your opinions on which one to start with the better of the 2.

Stay away from the 200. Get a 2970 and you will never have to buy another export again! If they are taken care of ( no BS mods like swing kits and the like ) they will last for a long time. The RCI has a better sounding audio and a cleaner receive and they are also great side band radios if that's your thing. Most of the people who bought a Cobra 150/200 gtl have sold them or have complained about poor performance in one aspect or the other, you don't hear those complaints about the 2950/2970. Just do a search here and on other forums and you will see that for your self.
 
I wonder which one I like best?

It looks like you need 1 more 2970dx to even the pile out.
A Cobra 200 IS a pile.
 
COBRA 200/RANGER 2950

STAY WELL CLEAR OF THE COBRA 200GTL DX, COMPLETE JUNK, COBRA IS TRYING TO GET INTO THE 10M LINE OF RADIO'S & DOING A BAD JOB OF IT! GO FOR THE 2950 LIKE THE OTHER GUYS SAY & YOU WILL BE MAKING A GOOD DECISION!! :D
