Opinions on Radio o use with a WW 2X4

[Doodad]

Got a choice to make here. I have 3 options as to which radio to put in front of a World-Wide 2X4. I love the echo/reverb and talk back of the 33. The 29 has a echo board but talk back is only fair. Both the 33 and 29 have been peaked/tuned.29 DK is 5w. The 25 is stock w/o modifications. I know they are all single final radios and the amp was bought for that reason. Will it make a difference which radio i use??? Preference is the 33.

Currently using the 33 with a 1X2 Fatboy. Dk 1.5w and letting it swing. Good reports on sound quality and great distance. Ears are only so-so. They can hear me and try to get back, I have to run around with the squelch turned off to hear long distance and even then they are barley audible above the noise. (7 miles plus)

Do you think I should be using the 29/25? Will I gain anything? Just second guessing!

You didn't say what kind of vehicle or antenna setup and that's
important because it impacts your receive so much.
I'd probably go with the Galaxy although I'm a big Cobra 29 fan.
I say that because having extra frequency options. If that isn't
important to you, the receive on a 29 may be just a bit better
with less background noise. It will also have better adjacent
channel rejection.

If you modded the 29 with a 1969 or better yet a mosfet, it
will talk right with the 33 and will drive the daylights out of
that W.W. 2X4.

Sorry for the lack of info

This setup is in an otr Volvo. I'm using a single Wilson 5000 with 1:1 swr on channel 19. Took the time to make sure everything was good-to-go for the Fatboy.
