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?

I have a nice looking 20 year old Cobra148 GTL in the trunk of my car.
It has been bouncing around in there for ten years or so.

What is the difference between it and the new one coming back on the
market?

They may look similar but the insides are completely different and the UK
ones are very easily expanded to cover over 10 blocks with just a solder
blob. The Nigh****ch ones whole front panel illuminates in the dark and
looks quite swish.... I dont think much of the soundtracker system though
unless the few ive owned have just been bad.
