This past weekend I went to the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles to check out some cool cars. To my surprise, they had a new display of the early evolution of car communication technologies and one of the units shown was this Realistic CB-FONE 23 in pristine condition. Check it out!
As I recall, Johnson had one as well. I had a friend that had one of them in his car for a while. In those days if it looked like you had a mobile radiotelephone you'd be pretty cool...I guess..
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
