Very nice radio they sound the best. To this day sitting on the dash of my 4by I have 138xlr stock as a rock and it just works a treat never an issue ive owned it for about 30 to 35 years
The Cobra 148GTL-DX is my go to radio. Mine was made in 1981 in Taiwan and has never had a component replaced (though the meter is stuck). I had Cybernet SSB radios before this but once I purchased the 148 I never bought another Cybernet. It is probably the best CB radio I will ever own.
I agree. The 148GTL is great. I have 11 148's and 2 148F. I am a cb guy but im a collector as well. I have 4 1978 1st year 148's. 3 are close to mint condition. I love them. Thanks for a great video. Also your radio looked like a 1978 model with the white electrical plug in. Only year Cobra had those was on the 1978 model. Thanks again. After going back and looking at your video at the end you do have a 1978 not a 1983. So you definitely have a 1st year original. Good job.
I have a tiawan model. 1988. Very clean. Like new with minor signs of use. Did a recap and alignment on it about a year ago. Good to go for another 30+ years. Great radios.
Honestly, It is one of the best, My favorite all time radios are the HR2510, Galaxy DX 95T2, cobra 148GTL, 138XLR, 29LTD, 19 plus, Realistic TRC 480, General Electric mobile, I forget the model, Watching from Jamaica west Indies !!
my HR2510 . is just the best thing. had it 27 years. if it ain't broken . don't fix it . I can not express how it just ' does the job ' I excited to have it . stayed in a box for years cos I fell out of love with radio. now I am 60 . it is a gift to own one . standard mic. or astic minute man two. what's your opinion
@@royferguson3909 Any day you decide to part with it let me know, I sure need one like right now bro, Its one of the best radio ever made, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!.
i have the superstar 360fm with the uniden PB010AB chassis which is the same as the cobra 148 gtl dx and it can pull out weaker stations better than my £2000 hf radio and for a radio that's now 43 years old that's amazing and I'll never part with it.
I get great reports with my 148 GTL on both AM and sideband. I run it into a cheap RM Italy 203. I get told this radio has tons of audio on AM. I like ny Stryker 955 a lot but the Cobra 148 would be my choice if I could only have one radio. My 148 is from the Phillipines made in 1992.
I have a cobra 148 GTL made in 1995 in Malaysia, and another one for front Mike 2003 and I like them both🐍

The best radio is the cobra 🐍 138 xlr 😅
Yes 148 GTL and Cobra 2000 the best ❤
I always wish to own a Stalker with the FM
Nice radio 👍. 2510 with a chip switch for me 👍🥃🇦🇺

The best radio is the “Cobra 148 GTL-DX “ !!

Yes, the filters in CB radios are only for that band, i have the same thing happen with some of my CB's outperforming on Rx my Ham radios.👍👍
Remember them well
Mine says made in Taiwan but it doesn't have the Taiwan ROC stamped on the back?
138 xlr is the best 😂😂😂
TRC -457 for me
Looks like the 858 radios are a favorite too👍👍👌👌

You can’t beat the cobra 138 XLR with an 858 chassis the uinden boards were put in a many many radios back in the late 70s
