I was wondering if you guys could help me find out the build date on this radio, I think it was built in 1983 by the serial #. Any input would be helpful.

Thanks all for reply
I looked and there is a plate telling me Tiawain made and thats all. When did they stop making 148's and when did they start back making them. I am guessing mine is in between 1987 and 1991.

I have gotten a Kenwood MC50 Mike and would like to run it with my Ranger SS158EDX. The Mike has a high and low impendence adjustment. Do I run it on High Impendence or Low Impendence? I have no clue if my Radio is low or high Impendence. Please help.

Get a Skythumper mike they are better than a RK56. I have tried D104 M6B and RK56, and ampified mikes give feedback I have tested all, feedback is gone with a nonamp mike and they sound clean and great. Check it out.

Well after reading articles about different Radios I was wanting a new toy. I have a General Lee with clean audio and a Stryker 440HP and it has clean audio. I Went and ordered the Superstar SS-158EDX from Sparkys CB Shop today. I like the looks of the radio and read these post on the board here...

I bought a used RCI 2950. I took it to a tech because it would not transmit. Repair of loose solder on spring fixed it. He told me someone had put RED Caps in it. Something to do with Modulation. I got home and opened it up and saw 2 red things soldered to the back side of the circuit board...
