I bought my Cobra 148F GTL DX+ in 1998 from Left Coast Radio. ($350±) Added a Channel Guard IF filter and a SP-1a speech processor. Just recently had it fully recapped and aligned, works like a champ. It's absolutely pristine and I doubt that I'll ever get rid of it. Nowadays, it stays parked on...
I've used my 30m doublet on 11m as its dimensions are slightly longer than an 11m EDZ. I ran the open-wire feeder all the way to a 1:1 current balun mounted by the window and let the tuner handle the rest. Worked like gangbusters! Have fun with it.

I don't think type acceptance is required for amateur radio transceivers. It is for 11-meter/CB though.

Had a Royce 639 and absolutely loved it. It was my first SSB rig and was combined with the old handheld D-104 and a Wilson V5/8.

Hey guys,
Just curious... Why take a PDL II, which is a polar diversity loop, i.e. a true quad, and turn it into a quagi, which is just crossed Yagis with a quad reflector? Isn't that a step back? A full quad will generally outperform a Yagi of the same size.

The LEO in me understands that this is indeed an FCC rule & reg, however, the taxpayer in me is more than just a little concerned that a portion of my tax $'s went to pay for someone to type this letter up. Me thinks there may be a tad more to the...
IIRC, the Cobra 2000, 148GTL, Uniden/President Madison, & Grant XL all shared the same board. The Cobra 142, 146GTL, Uniden/President Washington, & AR-144 shared the same board.

My very first CB transceiver was a 2 ch. 100mW G.E. walkie-talkie that I used to talk to my best friend/next door neighbor, circa 1976. I removed the fixed telescopic antenna and soldered a length of RF-58A/U in its place with the far end terminating at a 1/2L dipole up abt 25 ft. in a tree...
I earned my WAS QRP CW. It was challenging but most of the credit must go to the ops with the great ears who copied my 4.5W sig. I used an Elecraft K1 for the majority of the QSO's and a mix of my K2, Ten-Tec Argo V, and Palstar PC-500 for the final few.
