I got a Cobra w/40 channels plus the 3 Weather channels PLUS an antenna
for $80 at BEST this season to replace one that was having problems.
Works great, but I have a $75 antenna on the roof of my van which REALLY
makes a big difference in distance and noise. I keep the magnetic mount
antenna that came with the CB as a back-up. Plus, I think the Cobras at
Best offered better value than the CBs at RShack. The cheapest CObra
model at Best is often $40.
