OMG.. EXCALIBUR!!! i SOOO WANTED ONE OF THESE... a friend of mine ended up getting one, and man did this thing have the toys in it...and a 7 yes 7 digit display...no echo though... the one i saw, also had a more orangish display rather than red, like its cousin the 148 f 40 channle.
We are also lucky in having 1 of these in my radio collection still NEW IN THE BOX . I thought about selling it on blujay.com but took it off my web store.
I have the Connex 4800 DXL also. Only because i couldn't find the Cobra 148GTL DX +. I do like the radio but it drifts alot on sideband. I did have the Superstar 360 FM and loved it but it was sold in one of my many deals.
i had to stalk my radio for a couple of years b4 i got it. a friend of mine had it. i asked and asked and asked for it he finally broke down and sold it to me for 75 dollars and trade for a cobra 25. i have it hooked up in my automobile when i m home i hook it to a base antenna, i dont use side band that much tho.
i have the connex 4800 dxl it is an awesome radio. tuned and peaked with a 200 watt kicker box accept mine has an echo where yours has the swr cal i wish i had the swr cal on mine that would be more usefull than the echo(332or redneck) milton fl
@332redneck Would love the Connex 4800 DXL but they are really hard to find over here in the U.K. I do look on the U.S. Ebay.com but they hardly come up for sale over there either.
Nothing like a Pluto mate,it is laid out the same but this has 12 bands of 40. There arent many of these about especially in this condition.It is now packed away, still in mint condition after 13 years.
Fantastic radio the Cobra 148 F-GTLDX+. I picked one up a couple years ago for 50 dollars. Looked great but the insides was a mess!!! Replaced the audio limiter removed junk swing mod and nasty echo board. Put it on my trusty technician friends bench for a factory alignment and she sings pretty now! Very few out there like this one! 73 mate!
I think this 148 was produced by Ranger at 1997. So it is not an "original" cobra. But look very well indeed. Congratulations for having this in your collection!
I have a cobra 148 gtl made in philipines new in package, congratulations for you video is nice! :)

A very good radio indeed. I am one of the lucky few who own a boxed one of these.
