The most power a CB can put out is 4 watts at the antenna, right? Well, mostly right: that's a normal AM transmission. If you put all of the power into a single one of the "sidebands" instead of into both, you can legally put out more power. More power is more range. And it reduces crowding on the channels: an upper sideband signal won't interfere with a lower sideband signal even on the same frequency.
This unit can transmit in ordinary AM, on the "upper" sideband, or on the "ower" sideband, all controlled by a single switch. Tone controls allow you to adjust the audio for better sound.
CB hasn't died just because everyone has a cell phone now. If you're out in the boondocks, just how much good is your cell phone? But your CB can still punch out a signal, and in an emergency, that's what counts. Is this YOUR next unit?

AM/SSB RadioThe Cobra 148GTL features 40 AM and 80 SSB (Single Sideband) channels (40 up and 40 down). With the SSB radio capability, the Cobra 148GTL makes more efficient use of radio band width and effectively reduces signal interference for increased sound quality.
Adjustments for Better PerformanceVarious adjustable settings are featured for better radio performance and voice quality including the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) calibration and RF gain control for quick adjustments to the antenna system and signal strength, Switchable Noise Blanker for increased noise reduction, and Adjustable Dynamike Boost for increased voice clarity.
9-foot Microphone CordThe Cobra 148GTL features a long 9-foot microphone cord for easy reach within any area of the vehicle.
