By chance I have acquired a Cobra 2000GTL. The radio is in outstanding condition, a lucky find.
Being curious about the build date, I emailed Cobra with the serial number. This was their response:
We can not tell by the serial number when that radio was manufactured, we started manufacturing the 2000 GTL in 1978.
This surprised me. A similar serial number enquiry to Yaesu yielded a month/year build date easily enough.
A little research on the net makes me think it's a 1989 build, but I'm no Cobra expert, this is my first! Can anyone here help?
The serial number is 9301 #### Made in Taiwan. PM me if the last 4 digits are significant.
Many thanks,
