Here we have a NOS cobra 148 GTL. Long out of production. This item was taken as a fully unused new old stock, totally untouched unit and then professionally built. Options are below:

-tune and alignment for AM and SSB

-SWR meter aligned and properly measured

-RX sensitivity circuit installed (RX nods)

-TX HiFi mod for a rich outgoing signal

-talk back installed on back (to check echo)

-ranger echo board installed in back

-variable power / super transistor installed on front

-RFX 95 HD final with fans (independent circuit and able to bypass)

-RFX switch on the radio face

-RX tone control modified for Hi-Cut usage and HiFi receiving.

-custom face plate made to match the new functions. Professional install matching the OEM Cobra look!

*This radio has the actual channel selector (with the snap) not the new encoder style knob

*Channel display is in red

*4 pin mic jack

*SSB (USB & LSB)

*voice lock clarifier

*rare and no longer made. Not many NOS 148s out there

**All functions are tested as of today (the day of listing). Unit was tested for output and power variability on a LPA and Bird. RX and TX tested. Echo tested with talk back (Mon). All lights function. SSB (both) tested for stability and output. This radio has only been powered on for building and testing. Please see all pictures.

*** legal stuff: know your FCC and local state / city laws. This unit is 100% legal to own. It’s legal to power on. It is compliant for monitoring and use on the 11 meter band. If you wish to use the RFX and have a Les com channel kit you may operate on 10 meters if you posses the knowledge for the modification and license to do so. Again, a 10 meter radio is legal for anyone to own and possess. This is an 11 meter radio with SSB. The RFX kit is fully able to be bypassed. Meaning you are well within the letter of the law when operating this unit.
