id ask this question first.... do you want to talk ssb ?
if yes, then you just answered your own question.
for what its worth;
i used to not give a lick about ssb, and would very rarely use it. now, its all i use.
Not into ssb at this time(maybe at some point).Just looking for a good talking/reciever for everyday use.Was told the 148 would be a little down on peak power compared to the uniden.Also told the uniden would out-talk the cobra but the cobra would have better ears.
