I wish there was a way of changing the title of the thread to include SS-360FM serials.

WHAT!?!?! I've had to bribe Weety to change things before now. The standard "payment" was a Curly Wurly, a can of Umbongo and some pickled onion Monster Munch.

Bloody favouritism that is.

Its not ideal but that's what we have and better than nothing really.

I maintain a (the?) list. The original idea was to work out which serial number range the PB-010AA boards were.

The highest Cobra 148 GTL-DX serial number seen so far is 13016292 and it's in Florida.
The lowest Cobra 148 GTL-DX on the list is our forum's Snake Plissken's serial 03000023.
PC-879AA boards only seem to turn up in SS-360FMs, not Cobra 148 GTL-DXs.
PC-879AB boards are in both brands
PB-010AA seems to be unique to the Cobra 148 GTL-DXs and are present in the serial ranges 13001647-13003656 and 13004822-13005137. These ranges may change as we get more info.

SS-360FMs 13000008, 13000558 and 13000777 had 2 sets of frequency crystals from the factory.

I haven't yet seen a C-148 GTL DX and a SS-360FM with the same serial number, but it looks like it should be possible. The two radios seem to have their serial numbers by type.

I wonder if a mod could get the list moved to the first post
