Cobra 148F GTL Arriving today-Any1 Else Had One?

[Mistah Gravy]

that's funny Booty because last night i was on GIJoe's looking at the Ranger TR696f and considering that radio.and with a price tag of $149.00 for a brand new radio with a factory warranty i can't beat that.i love the Cobra 148F's and i am torn right now but if i go with logic it tells me to go with the Ranger(or the Ranger you are referencing,have to wait to get an approval from admins at that site so i can sign in).
i want to do some research on the 696f because it looks like a nice radio.i just want a radio that gets good reports over the air like the Cobra radios.i know Ranger is a good radio but i don't know if it's a loud talked with good modulation and all of that other technical stuff.so once the admins from the CBtricks forum approve my membership to the site i will go and check out that thread.thanks for the link up Booty!!

p.s. i am not necessarily an SSB user since not that many people are on the CB up here to begin with.i would prefer to have SSB on a radio but i don't have to have it.
