Had quick contact with 63 in South Carolina today with some really strong audio on SSB. Also had Colorado booming in at the same time. Lots of SE states, AL, GA, SC, NC coming into the NW.

I've been testing the Daiwa 901HP for a couple of weeks and I'm really liking the size and rubber feet that keep it from moving around. PEP hold is nice but damn it can take a long time for the needle to drop back.

I also found a mobile 2 meter radio I don't remember - in fact for the life of me I can't remember where it came from. Maybe I'm just in the early stages of alzheimer's. That would suck, but on the plus side everyday I'd discover a new radio.

...when you're pulling out plastic bins looking for a dummy load and you find a radio you forgot you owned. How to really know you have too much stuff....it's not the first time this has happened. I had done a big clean out last year but apparently I didn't do a good enough job. It's like my...

If he doesn't take it I will. I can always use another one of those. :)

Yeah I'd second that recommendation.

Everyone is out of everything - major supply chain issues. Prices on everything will be going up as well so if you see something you like pick it up now. You heard it here first folks! In my work I see supply chain issues and right now is like nothing I've ever seen. Shipping containers from...

This one always makes me laugh

How about an export with a amp remote plug built in for turning it on and off (like your car stereo can do with the amp). Would also be cool if the radio would auto adjust output when it knows the amp is on.

YES! Add DSP with adjustments. Here's another crazy idea - voice controls - like Amazon Echo , or the newest GoPro has them, you can tell it to turn on, etc. It would be great for hands free in the vehicle - some things it could do by voice Turn on Change Volume "set volume level 5" Change...

Interested to hear what people feel is lacking or just some ideas on things you'd like to see in the CB world? The DDS VFO from Troy has been pretty neat lately - what other cool things do you want someone to create? Sky is the limit here I'll start off with some crazy ideas. Handheld (or...

The older BHI I tried I couldn't stand because of the delay when you'd unkey - the static would flare for a couple of seconds before coming under control again, drove me nuts. I'm guessing the newer stuff has solved that issue.

I've been using local SDR stations quite a bit. In listening to myself and other stations they seem to give a pretty realistic idea of how you sound on the air. http://kiwisdr.com/public/ A spare radio works but I prefer to hear a receiving station some distance away as it sounds quite...

Hilarious, that’s exactly what happened, eventually I was just giving radio checks on each town I was passing through. “Big Kahuna, now going through _______”. Most times I only talk to a person for 10 mins or so, after 30 mins I don’t have much more to say :)

Was doing a late night drive last night and heard some locals on 17 so said hello and talked a bit as I passed through their city. Even though I was headed away from them at 70mph 30 minutes later I could still hear them so said hello again and continued to be able to make contact with them for...

Dang I just ordered something last week. Doh!

Those new DDS VFO mods are pretty cool for some of the old radios. Troy Radio Service has a great version right now.

Yeah - I just wasn't sure how common that size was as not a lot came up in a search online - I'll check the hardware store today.

I wanted to buy a set - or maybe pack of 5. Didn't realize these were so hard to find. On Amazon someone is selling 1 for $20. $5.50 for 1 on eBay - still pricey for what it is. Any other ideas on where to get some of these cheap. It's a 10/32" x 1/16" set screw

Last piece of the puzzle - 7.5V battery for the CPI branded Turner Road King 60. Very similar to the M+2 - smoking microphone, should never need to turn this up past halfway :) Road King 60 actually was listed as having a wider freq response than the +2. 300 to 3500Hz vs 300 to 3000Hz...
