I havn't bought a Uniden radio since. If you buy another uniden,
don't get anything less than 68 or you'll be sorry.


Unident radios are great. Those are just the bottom end. I have a Grant
LT.
Incredible receiver for a CB.

I've had old Grants that walked the dog. Are the new Grant any good?


Well, mine is the same as the Grant XL/Cobra148 Phillippine version. So
far so
good. Great receive. Mind you, mine was new and not hacked. The only thing
I
have done to it was unluck the clarifier. No other mods.

I'm running a Taiwan made 148. I've done my own mods to it over the years.
clarifier, channels, tuning. And just to **** Dogie off, I'll mention it has
an echo board from an old connex. It's ugly, faceplate is worn and some of
the LEDs are dead on the channel selector. I still get good reports on it.
