I've had this Taiwan 148gtl for several years now after buying it at a pawn shop. Finally got an astron power supply so I can run the radio in the house, but I've notice that after it's been on for an hour or more, I have to clarify the ssb signal sometimes to get people back on frequency. I do talk a lot of sideband so a stable radio is important to me. I'm wondering if it's worth it to have someone recap and replace the voltage regulator in this old radio because of it's reputation for great audio and ssb stability or put it back in the mobile where it doesn't get used much and get something else for the base?
