That looks like an early one. Those 27/81 switching boards are usually green.

Can't remember the exact range . It's printed at the beginning of my original 148 service manual . Think the first 10,000 in 81 or so were all mk1s still . I don't have my manual here , so I can't give the exact range

13001504 was the last Mk.1 Cobra 148. I wonder what the last Mk.1 SS360 was, and even if it's possible to have a ss360FM with the same serial as a 148. The highest C148 Mk.2 serial number I know of was the one that just sold on eBay in Australia - 13015677.

Thought it was higher than that, but I don't have my manual, and I'm sure you know anyway Tim.

Interestingly question you pose about the 360FMs. Did Uniden make more of them in 1980 than the 148 ? I presume they made the switch on both models at the same time in 81 from mk1 to mk2.
