well Butch , time will tell I suppose ? Like 148s and 29s and 25s ,Lincolns,HR2510s ect.ect. ........maybe in 10 to 15 years down the line they might still be talking about these Cobra 200s and Galaxy type radios ? You know .the real test of time. The same can apply to other radios as well. I just resently obtained a virgin TRC-451 1981 (Rat Shacks last AM/SSB of this type) it is basically a Uniden/Cobra 146 , (no mic gain control) still a very solid and drift free radio and the RX/TX are sweet !! just needing to fine the right mic for it was the test and with the stock mic it held it's own. I guess the bottom line with anything is truly the test of time and sometimes even the best of radios tend to need a few bugs taken care of them there after
