    Is CB radio suffering from the loudness wars?

    I know the band is pretty dead right now, but when skip is in there the band can be very active. When I got into CB radio back in 1988 at the tender age of 11, CB radios were not that loud on the air. Most CBers on base stations used quality mics like Astatic and Turner. If you had 1000 watts...

    RFT PP100 transistors vs DEI 2879s

    Hi all, How have the RFT PP100 "power pill" transistors that Xforce and others have been using been holding up and how much less/more power do they put out vs the Toshiba 2879 and the DEI 2879s? Are they better than the DEI's? I'm asking because I have a 2x8 class C that someone fried and was...

    President Lincoln II AM dead key and swing

    I'm seriously looking to get this radio, but I'm worried about it's dead key and forward swing on AM. I run a Texas Star DX 350 and it likes a dead key under a watt. Is there a way to get the dead key on the President Lincoln II at or under 1 watt and to have it swing 15 plus watts? Anyone know...
