Cobra is good for beginners. The 29 series allows you to calibrate the radio to the antenna, since doing the other way tends to be a pain. There are higher quality brands out there, but most people don't see it as financially logical. They tend to be much better made, and many have very nice features. I'm sure they stick to the right channel better, too. There are pre-made amped up units available online or custom ones from shops, but they're not legal. I'm sure when the SHTF the FCC won't care, but for now they're still in charge on the airwaves.
