    I hope he got the insurance.

    Yes, and no. There’s more to it than presented here IF one wants a stable towing combination. “Balance” is wrong concept to use. All trailers WILL sway. Only a matter of speed, at the end. 50-mph or 125-mph. The American method of using a weight-djstribution hitch isn’t used elsewhere or isn’t...

    Randy & Johnny

    The Randy as a “true” portable (light, very long-lasting lithium pack) might pair well with other PRESIDENT brand radios where operational similarity is close. A set of radios (home, vehicles, portable) where even those not interested in radio for its own sake can be expected to operate any of...

    As a collaboration, I appreciate others input into what this handheld IS and ISN’T. Make it part of a net of radios in use, or planned. It can do what other radios can’t do.

    It always needs a theme, those GGW Stories (“this weeks episode brought to you by . . . “). Then, someone might be deciding between the Jimmy Dean or Rex Allen narrative voice. Those crucial opening syllables . . .

    Randy & Johnny

    Street retail, the pair, $260. There might be a “better” pairing of radios. These two looked very close in features, thus ease of use from one to the other. Or, A. Base Station (Class I AC-Mains power) B. Road Vehicle (Class II Big Alternator Mobile) C. Utility Off Road (Class III small...

    Among radio types, in Class IV it’s in having re-chargeable, lightweight, long-lasting lithium that is “best”. A portable failing at having built-in power on-par with the Randy really isn’t a contender, is it? .

    If still in production after ten years we’ll take it as a good sign. Lithium rechargeable, for the win (Randy). Thx for bump. Handheld & CB could use a little exam now FM to be added to FCC spec

    AM/FM/SSB Plus quite a bit in required options. And shipping from EU. You could get past $400 quickly. And no better on a rubber duckie. So the real question has more to do with an antenna that is “portable”, yet better than the rubber duck. SSB & FM are desirable, no question. As the...

    "Mon" switch on Realistic cb ?

    Dad had an IMTS MOTOROLA RadioTelephone for a few decades. A switch position would use the cars horn as ringer. Don’t forget to turn that off after leaving the job site . . as the neighborhood where next you park won’t find it amusing (GM 4-Note 10A draw system). .
