    Several years ago I don't think Tim was doing that much to radios. I am sorry you had a bad experience with him. I sell and repair radios but I think I know my limitations. I hope Tim fixed your radio. Good luck to you, Ben in Orlando

    Snake Radio Customs calls out Mike's Radio Repair LOL

    CB Kidd I am sorry you had a bad experience with Tim. He built two radios for me several years ago and I am happy with his work. One was a cobra 148 front Mic style and the other a grant lt. None needed to be cleaned out, just upgrades, open clarifier, and on the lt he did a wide narrow ssb...

    1 STOP CB Shop Fined $7,000

    1 stop cb shop fined! Wanted to also let the group know that Ramko in Ohio was one of the wholesalers that the FCC was trying to fine for over $100,000 if I recall. Cbs are Cbs and 10 meter radios if unmodified into the country are legal to import and use by licenced hams. End of story...

    motor mouth maul mod receive mod cobra 29

    Justin, you upgraded a grant LT for me several years ago that I use almost everyday. Great work, thanks. I have a friend of mine who has a 148 that sounds good after this mod and I was told that a mod exists for the 29 series. The 148 seems easier on the ears to listen to. And 522 is right a...

    motor mouth maul mod receive mod cobra 29

    Does anyone know what this mod is for the Cobra 29 series. I am talking about the recieve mod where one gets better lows and some highs on the receive end not the transmit end. I know motor mouth has the 148 mods on his website but I can't find anything for the 29s.

    1 STOP CB Shop Fined $7,000

    I knew this was all over the internet but did not realize it made it to this forum. The original citation included a Uniden Grant LT untouched. They sent out two sets of field agents to investigate me. In depositions it came out that an amateur from the midwest was to blame. We even went to...

    QRZ WARNED BY THE FCC

    The FCC According to Part 97 type acceptance of amateur radios is not needed. The FCC needs to change the rule/law. They jailed Jimmy Ping "the owner of Ranger" in 1997. They took him out from the Vegas show in handcuffs. Halfway through the case the FCC walked away. The case was brought either...

    Best Mobile Antenna?

    For a Big Coil antenna try a Predator 10K, a Mr. Coily, Monkey Made, or a 55. For a Fiberglass stick try a Titan, Van Ordt, k40 Plus Fibergass or a Victory Quad Wound. For an Enclosed Trucker type try a Wilson 5000, a K40 Plus or a K40 Trucker Antenna. If you have a tall Condo the top...

    Mr. Coily

    Anyone know what has happened to Dan? He never seems to answer e mails or his phone. Waiting on an order from last August?

    flat-stock-, as opposed to round-coil mobile antenna....

    I would like to see a test of Coily, Monkey, Predator, 55, Stargun, Stryker and maybe a few others. The shaft would have to be the same to make it fair. Compare to a reference like a 102 inch whip. Than maybe a K40 vs. Wilson 2000 vs 5000 would be good. Wilson posts a test on their website with...

    Galaxy 98VHP

    Dave, I have had some customer complaints on that one. Not purchased at my store. Swr is critical and keeping the radio cool as well. The Mosfests tend to get very hot so I am told. For now I think that a 95T2 might be a better choice. Less power but more reliable. A Ranger 2970DX or 6900f150...

    COBRA 200 GTL-DX Revision 3

    I think the revsion 3s start with M60 or M70. Still working on getting more info. You might see some 3s with BE and BF as the last two letters on the circuit board. I have seen BFs but no BEs as of yet.

    COBRA 200 GTL-DX Revision 3

    It is hard to tell revision 3 radios. The circuit board last two letters are BF. Apparantly there have been 5 previous circuit boards and several parts revisions. The version 3s have built in talkback on the echo control knob but this is not stated on the new radio boxes.

    COBRA 200 GTL-DX Revision 3

    I e mailed Bruce from DX City and he says that the version 3 has only been out about a month ago or so. Bruce also told me that Cobra had a voluntary recall for leftover stock from their disdributors during the same period. I spoke to Brian from Cobra Tech Support and he says several months...
