As the new guy I figured I'd contribute to this topic with a picture of the radio I use in my house as a base station.
I recently had to mod it. I took my radio apart to check something and accidentally blew the bulb in the meter so I put a blue LED with a 12v resistor in its place.
This is the radio. I'm running this Cobra 148 GTL with a 12 amp Pyramid power supply, 50 feet of coax and an Antron A-99 antenna.
I recently upgraded to a Superstar DM-452 echo power mic and I'm able to talk 20 miles or so barefooted in mountainous country, so this setup does alright.
