Title: Quality Citizens Band Radio after Frequency Alignment
Review: Bought this radio for sideband use primarily. Be aware all modern day sideband radios will be off frequency from the factory. They will work fine on AM but will have to be aligned by a tech for sideband operation. This will run about $25. The real test of a quality sideband radio is whether or not it is stable and free of drift. I am happy to report that the new Chinese made Cobra 148 GTL is stable once it has been aligned. They are now made to Cobra's specs by Ranger Communications I am told. Wish they would be on frequency for sideband right out of the box, but like I said before it is not unusual to have an alignment performed for good sideband use on present day radios. At least it doesn't drift off frequency like the Galaxy radios.
Is the review positive or negative?
