Have a Old Cobra 142GTL(stock radio) is it worth making mods on this radio...considering its age..and since technology has improved since it was made 40-45 years ago? Thank You.
I personally am NOT a fan of mods on ANY CB Radio no matter the age. I am Old School & I like my radios stock if at all possible. If the modulation is down some & a power microphone does not help then do what it takes (short of clipping it) & get the transmit audio out of the noise but that's pretty much it. I don't care for ANY export CB Radios either. I own over 100 CB Radios & among them I have (1) RCI 2950 & it was given to me by a friend who passed away late last year. It won't hold any memories but works otherwise but I will never use it for more than a shelf sitter. I would not give $1.00 for any export CB & if I buy a CB & find it has mods I get rid of it pretty quickly if possible. ZERO interest in anything with mods. I have plenty of extra band space on the HF Bands & don't need or want any on the 11 meter band.Have a Old Cobra 142GTL(stock radio) is it worth making mods on this radio...considering its age..and since technology has improved since it was made 40-45 years ago?
