There is nothing wrong with the cobra 148 new or old. NOW some beleve the older ones are better ....they may be ... but the new 148's work just fine. |

I like my Cobra 148 GTL that I purchased in 1997, I only have around 12 hours on it. |

Thanks i see that the 148 GTL Classic is back looks like the old one i use to own.Just wanted something to RagChew on the 1 to 40 and thought it would be cool to have the one i used to own some years back.I thought their would be alot of reviews on this radio?Anyone own this new edition (148 GTL Classic).If so please let me know how you like it. Thanks Jimmy
P.S. Thanks Bruce |

jimmy,I run the "new origional 148" in my work van, it's one of the best radio"s i've ever had!!, I ran Galaxy's for a while, 3 or 4 different ones ,the 148 has better recieve by far!!I run it with a Wilson 1000 mag mount& a palomar 250, it's great on am or ssb,talked a lot of skip at lunchtime,I would'nt hesitate to buy another!!! |

Did you have it Tuned and Peaked by Copper.I heard there not made by Cobra which might be a good idea.And they cost only 129.00 i think which is pretty Cheap. |

A friend of mine is looking to buy a mobile radio with sideband. He's elderly and doesn't know which radio to buy. He'll be using it only when traveling once in a while. Any suggestions? |

the only thing I done to mine was turn up the modulation & drop it to 2 watts to run an amp.I bought it locally, brand new. another nice radio I have is the Ranger 296 GK, it's compareable to the 148, it's really sharp with the gold trim& knobs!!!It's on Coppers list also. |
