The Pearce Simpson Super Cheetah
The Pearce Simpson Super Cheetah was a 40 channel AM/USB/LSB citizens band transceiver. Great frequency stability and solid audio on SSB were the hallmarks of these radios, much like the very similar Cobra 146GTL.
The Super Cheetah had the mic gain control on the microphone, which for my money, gave it the edge over the 146GTL, which had no external mic gain adjustment.

The uPD2824 PLL was used in this radio as well as the Uniden PC122/122XL and the Cobra 146GTL amongst others.
Although looking almost identical to the Teaberry Stalker 9/IX, the Stalker ran the earlier and easier to modify MB8719 chip.
Being made in Taiwan in the '80s, the Super Cheetah is not only a testament to the skills of those involved in the production process, but also to a time when money wasn't the only governing factor involved in the design and manufacture of CB radios.
