I just made a contact with Rocket station in Stockhom on CB channel 2, 10:16AM today, from my shop radio in Carlisle, PA.. All kinds of signal on him!

I stumbled on this IC while looking at possible diode replacements for the venerable 1N34-style part. I haven't thoroughly read through the spec sheet, but I wanted to put this out for general discussion and feedback. It claims to have a forward drop of less than 100mV, which would make for...

Do any of you know where I can lay my hands on the channel display for a DAK Mark X radio? Thanks! More to come on this one as I get it working again.

What do you call a VERY large triple-gang potentiometer? A "triple-potamus".

Has anyone heard from Mike? I know he's alive and well from his QRZ page.

I have a Royce 619 base that needs PLL repair/replacement. I have the SAMs volume for the radio, but that doesn't have any schematic for the PLL unit, just pin-outs. I've been Googling, but no luck so far. Any help appreciated!

Yes, I'm speaking of Mark Sherman, dba Fine-Tune CB Shop out of New Mexico at the moment. Yes, he's got a good-sounding radio. Yes, he's got skills. But for the love of all things decent, respectable, and even just remotely nice, I am beyond sick and tired of hearing his incessant and...

I know this is an INCREDIBLY looooong shot, but I need a working VCO block for a Standard Communications model Horizon 29 CB (its the CB that was used in the truck from The Fall Guy TV series). It uses Uniden's PC-130AA PLL module which is a UPD857-based unit. The VCO is a wax-potted...

RadioActive Radios... That was a shop name that generated huge controversy and arguments a decade and more ago. I used to get many of their radios through the shop with requests to fix the assorted modification issues. When they shut down years ago, their radios showed up less and less...

I've been puttering around with end-fed half-wave antennas for 40 through 10 meters (concentrating on 40 for now), and have had trouble coming up with a good match-box design. I've tried different ideas from an array of online sources ranging from auto-transformers in various turns ratios to...

I have a Magnum Omegaforce S45 in working condition, selling as-is for parts/repair. Transmit level is around 30-35 watts, receive seems to be very good. Meter functions test ok, but I haven't tested every microprocessor function. Physical condition is fair to good, with the face having only...

I have a 2510 in tested and working condition that comes with an original Astatic D104M Minuteman mic. The mic still has the original plastic barrel-style battery hold INTACT, with a fairly fresh lithium battery installed. The radio's physical condition is good, and all button functions have...

I was just made aware of an Ebay listing for the Cobra 29 LX which is a verbatim copy of my own listing (with the exception of the price - this guy is claiming to sell the 29 LX for $39). The listing in question is located at Cobra 29 LX 40 Channel CB Radio | eBay. The listing from which this is...

He goes by Roberto Renta, and Cielo Renta. Known email address is crenta@aol.com. His shipping address is in East Elmhurst, NJ. He comes off as a big spender, but in the long run, he's cost me a heck of a lot more than he's spent, in the form of lost potential customers and lost revenue, etc...

I don't know if this should be in the controversial section or not. I thought it was funny, and not particularly controversial. Anyway, while I was doing some research into how websites and domain names are valued, I found the Radioactive Radios website listed in an online website evaluator. I...

I'd like to look at a thread posted on the CB Radio Talk forum, but I've been permanently banned from there by one of its sponsors, namely Radioactive Radio. The thread link is http://www.cbradiotalk.com/viewtopic.php?p=165360&sid=6e5bb8b542a7101894533278d6d13b0d If someone could take a peak...

I need to locate a wiring diagram/schematic for this version of the Staler XX. The hi-low switch for the extra channel band has been disabled, and whoever did it left no trace of the original wiring behind. The radio is in beautiful shape and works fine, except for no extra channels.... By...

I need to locate a schematic for a Siltronix LA550 amp. Anyonbe know where I can download a copy? I checked CB tricks and didn't see this model listed. Does anyone know if it is the same as another model already listed?
