Cobra 148 GTL CB Radio – probably the best Mobile Rig Ever Made

The Cobra 148 GTL CB radio has the mobile platform of choice for all serious CB'ers for over 30 years.

Historically, the best sets were always the first manufactured in the Philippines. I bought in 1978 and was lucky enough, one will receive one of these little gems. The production of this model was discontinued in the late 1990s, but was added because of the huge demand in the manufacturing sector around again and are now available.

Rugged construction has always been aCharacteristic of all Cobra CB radios, and the 148 is no exception. It can live in extreme environments that would quickly destroy all the facts.

In the new units were tested in their original configuration. The only change was a minor cosmetic change, which is now the microphone port on the front of the whole and not on the side. It is very difficult for a simple installation. Long microphone cables are also now standard.

This model has a total of120 channels. It has 40 channels on AM and) 80 more channels on SSB (single sideband. SSB channels are each divided into 40 on the lower sideband and upper sideband.

Power stations is the maximum power allowed by FCC regulations – RF 4 watts AM RF and 12 watts on SSB.

Adjustable RF Gain control allows optimum adjustment signal in the areas of signal at both high and low.
A noise reduction circuit breaker, to get the level of noise attenuation.

If you opt for a feature-rich, reliable, running rigging, you can not better than the choice of the Cobra 148 GTL CB radio.
