With all things being equal what would be a better choice for mobil application barefoot?Cobra is a malaysia made and uniden is philly.I know the 148 has ssb but will it talk/hear as well as the uniden for AM?
 

id ask this question first.... do you want to talk ssb ?

if yes, then you just answered your own question.

for what its worth;
i used to not give a lick about ssb, and would very rarely use it. now, its all i use.

Not into ssb at this time(maybe at some point).Just looking for a good talking/reciever for everyday use.Was told the 148 would be a little down on peak power compared to the uniden.Also told the uniden would out-talk the cobra but the cobra would have better ears.

The 148 has a much better receiver and a bit more impressive audio. Whoever told you the Uniden would out talk the 148 is ignorant or probably trying to get you to sell it to him.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
