Well, I done bought one. Seems like a decent HT, features are pretty good, comes with enough accessories. Nice having both the 6AA alkaline and 8AA ni-mh battery packs, and the vehicle adapter. Looks like it uses the standard 2-pin speaker mic connector that previous Cobra, Radio Shack and older Standard/Vertex/Icom radios use. Made in Vietnam.
Now to wait and see if a service manual for it appears somewhere. So far, there's nothing on this radio other than the owner's manual and general specs that I've seen.
