The Cobra 148 GTL CB radio is a mobile drilling platform in the choice of all serious bull CB "for more than 30 years.

Historically, the sets are always the best products early in the Philippines. I bought in 1978 and was lucky enough, you will receive one of these little jewels. The production of this model was discontinued at the end of 1990, but due to popular demand, production has been resumed and are now available.

RuggedConstruction has always been a hallmark of all Cobra CB radio, and the 148 is no exception. You can live in the harshest environments, it could quickly destroy makes less.

The newer devices have been demonstrated in their original configuration. The only change is a small cosmetic change that now is the microphone port on the front of the set, instead of been on the side. This leads to very extreme ease of installation. Long microphone cables are nowStandard.

This model has a total of 120 channels. It has 40 channels on AM, and another 80 channels on SSB (Single Side Band). The channels are in SSB on 40 each side band and lower division side band higher.

Power is the maximum allowed by FCC rules – 4 watts and 12 watts AM RF to RF in SSB.

The configuration is certainly many functions —

Built in SWR meter, SWR calibration and control for precise adjustment to the antenna.
Adjustable microphone dynamike transmitted pulse control for maximum clarity.
Adjustable RF gain control allows optimum adjustment of the received signal in strong signal areas and weak.
A noise blanking switch to further reduce the amount of noise received.
PA A switch allows the device to be used as a system of public information, with the addition of an external speaker.

There is another reason why this model has proven to be so popular. The government has much room insidefor mods, and there are a number of add-on boards can be found at commercial radio stations to increase performance. Some are legitimate, others not.

If you opt for a feature-rich, highly reliable, portable rig, then you can do better than the choice of the Cobra 148 GTL CB radio.
