Morning all, can someone explain why a cobra/ uniden style radio drives the snot out of an amplifier and yields better overall results over a standard 10 meter radio like a General Lee connex 3300 ect ect . Thank you all
 

Maybe the General Lee has been given the once over by a 1st semester backyard tech in training.
I own a comp cobra 29 and a linc 2 plus . All my people know when I’m on the 29. My locals as well. Greater signal strength and animal like modulation.
