If you want just a standard 11 meter 40 channel radio go with the Cobra 29 LTD Best Radio IMO for under 100 bucks. If you want to go with the 10 Meter export I would recommend the General Lee..Its about a 50-60 watt radio when peaked and tuned correctly and it is no frills basic power house radio! I have one and I love it! Just my opinion as there are many fine radios on the market. The General Lee will range anywhere from 250-300 Dollars Peaked and tuned depending on who works on it
But whatever you do when you get your new radio get yourself a Rk 56 or a astatic mic and you'll be set!

I've had zero problems with my Galaxy 66 in the six years or so I've had it. Just personal preference.(I like the big meter). A good friend of mine loves his General Lee. As far as the Cobra 29, I agree that has always been the dependable go-to radio. I have one myself for a back-up.

The new cobras and unidens aren't made the same as they used to be. I know that goes for all radios but the cobras and unidens are the worst. If I were you (if you haven't bought one yet) I'd find a cobra 29 or uniden 78 that's over 2 years old and have it tuned up. Or just buy a galaxy. You just can't go wrong with them. I don't care what anyone says. You can pick up a used 33 for under 175. Just my opinion.
