Stop dumping money into the Cobra, they have gone way downhill.......Buy a Galaxy 959 with an Astatic 636L mic and a Wilson 5000 antenna.
If you cant afford that, at least upgrade your antenna to a Wilson 2000 and tune your SWR. Wilson is currently top rated in the market. I run Wilsons on my dump trucks and I have a tricked out Galaxy 959 in my pickup truck.
