Cobra 148GTL isn't a radio model. It's a 40-year product line. Radios made in Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, China are similar, but each has its own quirks.
It started out with a 5-pin mike socket on the side, and evolved to a 4-pin socket on the front. The "Sound Tracker" versions had a reputation for being fragile. And the china-made "D" suffix letter radio sold most recently was a total dog.
All 148s are not created equal.

Bobby , I think that's the mic ! I have a D104m6b , I had it on my old Cobra 140GTL , all my locals said it sounded like 
! It got to the point one of my local Op's , showed up @ my QTH & handed me a brand new non-amplified Super Star . I use that now & all is Good in Magnum land ( according to my locals ) . Stay Heathy & Safe ! 73 & God Bless ! Leo

I love that hearse. Now the coolest thing is the 1950's flower car.
Edit I almost forgot 575-M6.... Makes any radio sound good.

I picked up a handful of those Adafruit boards, as I had seen Shadetree’s linked post previously. Looking forward to trying them!
575-M6 is still on my list to find.
