Nathan,

I purchased the new Cobra (C75 WX ST) unit that has everything in the mike. 
 I ordered it from Sound Radio Products at
http://www.eskimo.com/~antenna/index.html based on a recommendation from a 
review on Miata.net (http://www.miata.net/products/pmisc/cobracb.html). 
 The info page for the radio is at 
http://www.eskimo.com/~antenna/c75wxst.html.

First class service and I'm very happy with the performance of the unit 
with my magnetic mount antenna.  When I called and told him it was for a 
Miata installation he was very familiar with the review on Miata.net and 
mentioned selling several units to Miata folks.

Hope this helps.

Jeff
