Cobraworxshopz.com are often asked about the different styles of Chrome Bezels or Transceiver front panels. We will show the most popular Bezels and start with the original Cobra 148 GTL-DX Chrome Bezel, which is the same as the Superstar 360 FM and Transceiver MKV Bezel. The picture below shows a Transceiver MKV/148/360 Bezel, notice the Bezel front, top and side are totally flat or smooth.
Next we show the Superstar 3900 Chrome Bezel, made by RANGER Electronics. Other than subtle dimension differences the 3900 Bezel is almost identical to the 148 Bezel. A notable difference is the inclusion of a ridge or 'step' around the Bezel front edge or frame. The step is visible on the below Superstar 3900 picture. Compare it to the 148/360/MKV Bezel pictured above.
The third style of Chrome Bezel is found on the Connex 4800 DXL-E type Transceivers. This Bezel has the ridge or step 'halfway' across the Bezel surround, see below.
The latest style of Chrome Bezel is on the Cobra 200 GTL-DX. This is more like the 148 Bezel with no step, the Bezel corners are gently rounded and curved-in towards the Electroluminescent Face Plate and looks really good.
Other types of Transceiver Bezels are often available for sale, see the below Cybernet Multimode Bezels for the Hy-Gain V Transceiver.
