New Radio - help me decide

[RWillieK]

Well I'm getting a decent tax return....so I want to upgrade my radio. I have a Cobra 29 St NW WX.



I want a radio with SSB, and would prefer a frequency counter, but its not a huge deciding factor.



The radios I have been looking at:



Galaxy 949

Galaxy 959

Cobra 148 GTL (No ST!!)

Super Star 3900

Ranger 296



I would prefer to stay under $150. I don't really plan on running a lot of power - maybe a KL-40 at most. I'm not looking for something I can heavily mod...maybe a few extra channels, peak/tune, and unlock the clarifier, but that will be down the road.



I run a 3' Wilson Silver Load mounted on the bed rail.



I've wearched the web for opinions on each radio, and i find good and bad about all of them. So I'm looking for your opinions.



I have found Copper beats everybody on price by at least $10...so I'll be buying the radio there in person



Thanks!!!

GAlaxy 959 has everything that you are looking for + its a good radio. I had the 949 same radio minus the freq counter, tuned by RR and it was a great radio.
