Section I Introduction
FREQUENCY RANGE
The COBRA 148GTL transceiver represents one of the most advanced SSB/AM
two-way radios ever designed for use as a Class D station in the Citizens Radio
Service. This unit features advanced Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuitry, which is used
in the AM mode and in the upper and lower single sideband modes, providing
complete coverage of all 40 channels shown below.

The COBRA 148GTL has a vastly superior receiver which includes an RF gain
control and noise blanker circuitry effective in both AM and SSB modes., and an
automatic noise limiter effective in the AM mode. The receiver also features
increased protection against cross modulation and strong adjacent channel signals.
To obtain maximum performance please read carefully the descriptions and
operating instructions in this manual.
