    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    It does have dimmer settings, and it does have receiver noise reduction.

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    All I know is Anytone says releases in July. And I want one. Hopefully, it's just a button sequence. Never did open the case on mine. Just sold my AT-6666 yesterday, so I am part of the way there.

    elkin 12 and 8 tube amp.(need help quick)

    Don't know about Danny. But ScewDriver(Avenger Amps) in Statesville, NC worked for and built Elkin amps back in the day. He is the only tech I know around these parts here in Western NC that can fix Elkins. Ray passed the other week, and I don't know if Eddie, his on, is going to keep the...

    FT-891...anyone try this mod?

    That's very good to get it repaired, and shipped back that fast. The three year warranty was one of the reasons I bought the FT-891, but not the main reason. Just hope I never need to use the warranty, but it is peace of mind. Can't remember right off hand if the warranty is transferrable or...

    Texas Star Amplifiers For Sale

    Got the Killer Bee yesterday evening. Some how USPS had managed to crush one corner of the package about five inches deep. No problem though because it was packed very good. Killer Bee was still in very good condition. Thanks

    Ameritron AL811 / AL811H

    Regarding question #2 and the 811H. The designer of the amp says to use three 572B tubes in the 811H. I forget which hole he said to leave empty. Tom was involved in a thread on Contesting.com, but I can't find the thread right now, and that's where I read about using three 572B tubes in the...

    Isn't she pretty

    I like it. It's sparkling! I just went back to the mid 70's, and remember my dad talking on his CB radio. He sure could get the ladies wound up. RIP Pops.

    Ray Felts, Elkin amps

    Talked to him a few times at his shop. I guess, Ed, his son, will close up shop now, but I hope not. They have had a sign up at the shop that they would be closing in the future. I know a lot of CB guys and gals will miss him very much. Thanks for letting us know.

    Maco VQ3 V-Quad 11 meter antenna

    VQ3 will work good at 12 foot above the ground. It's going to be less noisy than the four element. Depending upon the area you live in, the receiver noise could be a tremendous difference. I just don't like the way they are assembled. The V shape is basically eyeballing it, and tightening...

    PowerMax Power Converter ?....

    I bought the 60 amp model years ago to power a two pill 2879 and Lincoln 2+ radio. Bad hum on transmit. Bought a Megawatt 40 amp, and it had no problem with the amp and radio. Beware of the PowerMax drop shippers. They won't refund money on a faulty supply. Ended up arguing with PowerMax...

    Troublemakers.........

    I hear the two NY stations door knobbing every now and then spazzing out 27.385. It is definitely irritating.
