You can find a good export radio for about $300 pushing 80 watts or so. More money for higher output! A 148 is a great 30 year old radio, by the time you have it recapped aligned, etc it will cost you about $500 for 4 watts output. Unless you are the tech, its cheaper to get the export. If you are talking about a new 148, China model, you need to spend another $100 for the mods and alignment and still give only 4 watts. RM Italy has a cheap KM-203 amp $80 for 80 watts. So do the math.
