What would Y'all think of a cobra 19 dx iv with a ranger sra 198 microphone tuned to run my rm italy kl 35 linear amplifier ? I don't want anything extravagant I think that would be a good simple rig for me what do y'all think ?

Bluethunder if you get one have someone adjust it so it will modulate a little better. If you need the old cobra 19 your welcome to have my cobra 19 plus:) something else that might work well would be a nice little cobra 25, its just a cobra 29 just fewer features. This site here is perfect for what you want:D

Compared to that Rat Shack walkie talkie you have now, the Cobra 19 would be a Huge up-grade...Cobra 25 or 29 would be better, but also cost double what the 19 cost.

I just used this one pretty recently as a backup radio when my 29 quit working. Even shot a little skip with a 4ft firestik. For a small radio they pack a punch! Get a noise canceling mic, amp, and a good antenna system and you can do just as good as someone with a cobra 29 maybe even better!

10-4 I only like the cobra 19 dx iv because of its new slick modern look haha 10-4 yeah they look nice but they don't seem to modulate well. I had one and it didn't perform well even though I had it tuned to a brand new truckspec 4 foot fiberglass antenna and my swr was 1 on channel 1 and 2 on 40. But the 19 plus has a little more talking power:)
