It appears my 9 month old all-in-one Cobra has already died. Will check on warranty but if I have to spend money not buying another. It was installed primarily for emergency and highway info use and very occasional coach to toad use in non-cell areas (also have FMRS for that).
I'm sure the Cobra is poor in many if not all performance areas; the one that bugged me the most was reception - signal filtering was awful. Unless I had the squelch almost all the way up most of the time, constant intermittent static breaking squelch. (Using single 36" Firestick NGP on RV side mount with about 18" above roofline, tuned with reasonable SWR.) Never tested radio for output, I'm sure that was poor also.
Suggestions on replacement radio?
Thx
