Has anybody tried TRI's version of the PRC152? I don't know much about the 148 or the 152, but isn't the 152 the newer model? Is there any reason I should get the 148 over the 152?

Upon further reading, it SEEMS clear that you only need to register with FCC to use power output of the TRI 148 and having a technician class license is not a requirement. Am I reading this correctly?

In the TRI timeline the 152 came out before the 148. The 148 is better.

That being said, they are releasing a new version of the 152 in an aluminum housing that should be superior to either of the existing two.

Radios are just like computers. Just when you think you can run with the dogs, you find yourself out in the back 40 tending to 3 legged goats.
