10 Meter Radio's

[herrick]

I'm currently running a Galaxy DX94HP. I'ts not bad. I just ordered a astatic mic today.(for my b-day)I'm useing a RK56 but was reading that the 94 will getout better with a astatic so...I've run and still have a connex 3300hp it is a very good radio but it dont got no toys...so I got the Galaxy.I've have had a DX73 before but lost it in a crash. Before that was a old cobra 29 it lasted 7 years not bad for a freight hauler.

Before you go telling me that they are the same there are some differences in the radio but they are made in the same place and in the old radios they were the same, but the new radio have some differences in them.

I am only speaking from experience as a radio user.
I have had a Cobra 148 phili made 1989 and an President Grant with all the channels and fm.
I've had these radios for so many years I would really date my self. The Grant is completely stock and the 148 only had a variable and funnies installed. I've had these radios for twenty plus years and the covers have never been off.
When the General Lee and the Connex have ridden around in my hunting truck that has been from L.A. to Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado and on every off road you can imagine, still work like new we'll talk about durability.
I have never owned one of the radios your talking about but my radios have been used as base radios and in several different vehicles since about 89.
I would never say the radios you talk about aren't good radios but can they survive the test of time and abuse my radios have. When I'm traveling the truckers assume I'm a driver because they both sound so good even barefoot.

Have run a Galaxy for 15 years with most of those years as a slip seat radio. It was tuned when I bought it and again about 4 years ago.

It's not looking real good but it sure does work good. And am very happy with it.

A few years ago, I bought a barely used Galaxy 99 ($100) for when my current radio dies but the old one just keeps going..........

i had my best luck with ranger put it in my pickup and bought a general lee for work big mistake the general lee has been nothing but trouble what a piece of junk been in the shop atleast 10 times now in two years it keeps loosing its recieption or something breaks on the board causing it not to power up my ranger went 5 years before i had to put it in the shop but with the trucks we run at work my ranger wont fit since it has a side mounted mic hookup im currently looking for a new radio and when i dicide what to buy the general lee is going in the trash

Think they are pointless as the majority (NOT ALL) of drivers with them in their truck never take em off channel 19. The bit of extra power you get out of them doesnt make that much difference......definately not enough to justify price, in my opinion.
