Cobra 148 user here too, modded for all the channels you'd need plus a 4 element quad on a large pole.

Sometimes wish I still had them, but it's easier to chat globally with the internet now

I still have my [modded] Superstar 2000 (which was very similar to the C148).
Just no ariel, no SWR meter, or anything else now, its probably 35+ years since I last used it.

I bought one deliberately for it a few years ago and enjoyed gaming in 3D. I prefer my ultra wide screen more not though and that cost more than the TV

Re: Dud Purchases

TU trainer socks from Sainsbury's. The part that fits to your ankle is not properly finished so the damn things shuffle down inside the trainers. Do not buy. They're complete rubbish.
