    Do i retire the 29 or the 2950

    so i have a cobra 29 works real well nice and loud i also have a rci-2950 works good but not as loud as the 29 even with the power microphone on it. so my questions is this the 2950 does about 600 watts more on the bird then the 29 so do i sacrifice the power for loudness or loudness for power

    Whats your opinion on it

    as much as i loved the 2950 , the 29 or a uniden worked much better in audio and performance. the extra watts your seeing is harmonic swing , its hard to explain. you would have to put it on a scope and see the distortion.

    No i wouldnt say that 2950s are much cleaner then most export radio Some people even use them as 10 meter rigs and it does have a higher output Final section so more watts are to be expected and ive tried filters right after all my radios to see How much harmonics they had the only one that had tons of crap watts was a dx66v

    well the 2950 is way much cleaner than the galaxy and those magnum radios im not a fan on . it has to do with the audio circuit in the radios . a 2950 has basically a speech processor built in it so it does work very fine. if you have a great ear you can here the slight distortion output on different radios . carrier suppression will seem much clearer and stronger when going to a radio that produces a less distorted audio signal. i have tryed all of them radios , and have no love for the wasted money you spend on them and the lack of performance they create. you dont see none of them big boys running that stuff , there is a reason for it . lol lol lol lol lol

    I agree with 51. Im not really a fan of the 2950 and i have a 29 thats loud as hell but thats my backup rig. Screw it, buy a new radio and keep them both as backups! Lol

    anybody ever do the 520n mod to the 29 how much more did you get i just finally pulled the slug coil from mine the other day and removed a wind and replaced the slug couldnt imagine it making much difference but its doing about 4 to 5 more watts now if i can get 5 more it will be on par with the 2950 but much louder
