This is the one that is 5 star rated.

This is the one I'm using now:

Ok I picked up my Cobra GTL 148. It works fine I guess, but Joe didn't
repair the meter that used to swing back and forth showing signal
strength.

Joe Lorberg says that isn't really important.

I did talk to a few people locally.

I'm using a magnetic Radio shack antenna. I noticed on their site it
is not rated more than a "1" out of "5"

I'm thinking about buying the 24.95 one on their site that is rated
"5" stars in an hour or so.

I rarely drive faster than 70 MPH so I need one that will hold on up
to 90 at most.

What would you all consider to be the best magnetic mounted CB antenna
under $100.00?

Well,

I'll have to see how she performs when I hit the Autostrada next week.
If I can give and receive smokey reports, ask for a radio check every
few miles, then I will be as happy as a mouse in a cheese factory.

Thanks for the comeback,

Well Magnuml,

The greatest and most honest electronics technician in the USA, Mr.
Lorberg, fixed my old Cobra 148 GTL for only $35.00 All the lights and
switches work, the needle moves again when I click transmit. He put a
new plug on to fit in the cigarette lighter.

All in all, I suspect I saved quite a bit of money instead of paying
nearly $200.00 for the new one which looks the same on the outside.

Do you think there is $150.00 of difference in the distance they will
transmit, or how they will sound?
