DX was so good the last couple of weeks but this week it's been really up and down in the NW. I could hear lots of the SW last night but couldn't get anyone to come back and then out of the blue I make a contact with a guy in the Yukon and then 10 seconds later the bottom drops out. Throughout...

I knew I could count on you guys for some good responses :) I find these threads much more interesting than "what amp should I buy" :)

That is the ugliest radio I have ever seen. That looks like a photoshop April fools joke. If only the radio manufacturers trolled our threads to learn what people really want.

Wow - I just did a search and found this thread because this exact question came up in a discussion with someone yesterday. Why do we use 1kHZ 50mV? What was the historical reasoning that this became the standard in radio equip and studio testing, etc.? Additionally, it was brought up that the...

I think you're right! https://ppmsystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AS-3900.pdf https://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/miobc/lp-sincg.htm SO why would this guy have a SINCGARS antenna on his pickup?

Might be a Shakespeare antenna - SKP-16V2 16′ HF Antenna With 4244-1 Base https://shakespeare-ce.com/military/product/skp-16v2-16-hf-antenna-with-4244-1-base/ https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-write-ups-39/military-high-frequency-hf-antenna-install-145193/

Did some more research and looks like the FC60 counter did make it into production at one point, although I haven't seen many of them around. Still one day hoping to see a CP-2500, that thing is rare!

I kind of want one now :) Antenna envy his is bigger than mine.

I emailed him today - hoping I can do an interview with him. Made some contacts to Cali with it today. Not much output (5-7 watts PEP on both AM and SSB) but the stock microphone is a bit lacking in gain on the lows. Audio sounded nice though on the SDR but I'm really excited to test out the...

Picked this up yesterday. I asked the guy - are you the original owner, and he said yeah I used to work there. Turns out he used to test and build the units. The frequency counter was one he built that was never released he thinks. I’m going to try to get more information from him and...

To me it it doesn’t look like the alpha antenna, it looks almost exactly like this -

I was blown away by how massive it was in the lower fiberglass section - was very rigid as well, little to no sway through the whole antenna.

Never seen one like this - super beefy. Looked more like an antenna you'd see on a military vehicle.

DX was working this morning. SE to NW and W.

OK I know the CB world has gone crazy...tonight 38 LSB was a absolute sh*t show so I went to channel 6 and it was pretty quiet and I easily made a contact and had a nice conversation.... What the heck is going on, I'm freaking out man..... :) the snozberries taste like snozzberries

Yeah I got into Santa Cruz today to 242 I think it was and then it dropped out again.

I know this is the 100th post of this kind...but these things never cease to amaze me. Original Magnum S9 bid to over $500 !!!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/224487267536?hash=item34447bdcd0:g:9XQAAOSwxvtgu8r- Granted the old ones with the 1969 finals were my favorite but what the heck is going...

Two shops I recommend right now - Superior CB - Chris Holland Troy Radio Service Just be prepared for delays with either - or any CB shop right now for that matter, everyone is seriously backed up.

I use the plastic screwdriver end of my tuning tool and very gently use it as a lever just to get it started - you don't want to create too much downward pressure though and it only takes a tiny bit of force to get them moving.

I messaged him last week and didn't hear back either. Hope he's ok.
