Welcome to the show. Before you decide on a radio ask yourself some questions about what you want [extra channels, echo, budget and so on]. The old 102 is still the most rugged antenna out there but if looks are what you want there are also several others that perform as well and look better. As for the radio you may want to consider an export such as a connex or galaxy. Do you plan to run an amp at some point? Do you think you may want to get into competitions in the future? But unless you just want to say you have a radio stay away from the cobra 19s. If you want to talk they are ok, if you want to heard don't waste your money. Aside from being cheap and underpowered they are well known for jumping frequency among a myriad of other problems. After all there is a reason wal-mart has them for $35. My best advice is to do the homework and decide what you want from a radio before buying anything. And remember a $300 radio hooked to a $20 antenna becomes a $20 radio but also a $100-$150 radio hooked to a good antenna, properly grounded with good swr, r & x factors will out perform the most expensive radio and a cheap antenna. Don't skimp on the install either. Make sure to put a fuse AT THE BATTERY AND DONT USE THE CIGGARETTE LIGHTER to power anything larger than a uniden pro 510. If you are on a tight budget the uniden 510 isn't much more than a cobra 19 but much better made and it shows in the performance. I'll be glad to help if I can as far as questions and advice but there are others here whose knowledge far surpasses mine. Well that's all for now 73s from old two and three quarters halfwatt radio in south Mississippi
