A Cobra 29 is a radio you can start and stay with, if that is what you decide you want to do. If you just want a basic radio, the Cobra 19 is a decent radio for a little less money. Uniden also makes a good radio. A 78 is comparable in price to the Cobra 29 but has more bells and whistles. Uniden makes a radio comparable to he Cobra 19, but I don't recall the model. I would not spend over $100 starting out. Pilot had a sale on a stripped down Cobra 29. I believe it was around $79. It could have been less.

i have a Uniden 68 its a good radio for the money. It does all i need it to do.

The 29 is a good radio if you can find one without the soundtracker feature.

IMHO Uniden is an even better radio for the same money. The 78 will do anything you need it to do and probably more. I ran a 78 in my truck for the last several years I drove. Couple one of those with a good noise canceling mic like an Astatic of Roadking and you will have one sweet sounding radio.

are you talking abuot this???

Yes, that is the radio.

Note, like the Cobra 29 there are several versions of the Uniden 78 radio. They have the plain version, one with lighted knobs, one with a backlit face, and with and without weather bands.

preferably a working one. :P

I ran a Uniden PC66XL, the predecessor to the PC68 and it was a damn good radio. The only modification I did was get a power mic. I bought a Cobra 29 but I put that in my pickup truck and kept the PC66 as my working radio. When I left trucking, I sold my PC66 to somebody who wanted an "authentic trucker used CB" to put in his pickup. :)
