Like they say ! ( Different Strokes for Different Folks )

Was the same here on the Base and the mobile. I hope the Fall changes things around.

I heard the state of Maine coming in this afternoon when I was out in the mobile. That's the first I ever heard that State before but I wasn't in this Stinking Valley either. Riding high but barefoot so couldn't get a comeback. Some of us don't get Lucky ! LOL

My first radio back into cb was a few years after my divorce and I was alone. Back in the late 90s & that was only a New Cobra 29 NW ST that I paid to much for at a truck stop. I didn't get to serious about it because of child support and mortgage. It wasn't until I retired in 2015 and paid the...

Yes us old guys know that but the young ones haven't crossed that bridge yet and don't have the money to get prepared unless us old timers help them. They are flying by the seat of their pants. So they say !

Last summer I got a young guy maybe in his single digits but maybe the beginning of his double digits who wanted a cb for the PA function so I give him a cheapy AM Cobra. He come back later wanting another one with PA so gave him another but took him in the garage and let him listen to skip...

They better have a generator when the power goes down. That's what I tell my grand kids. I've seen it down for 4 days before and it could get worse.

Definitely doesn't sound like Another Day In Paradise ! This too shall Pass.

I haven't heard anything around here on AM in a long time so you wouldn't have to fight for a empty channel. Consider yourself lucky if you can rag chew with the locals. ( won't cost you much )

Was playing with my Lincoln II+ this morning and was surprised to hear some short range skip rolling in for a while. Was able to make a couple contacts with decent reports. I'm still trying to find more info on the Engineering or Service Menu or both to see if there is adjustments. All that info...

What is the AGC ? I'm guessing Automatic Gain Control and if so does my President Lincoln II+ have one that could be malfunctioning. The other question is can I tell if my Lincoln II+ is a version 2 or a 3 by the serial #. When I ordered it from Walcott I ask if it was a version 3 and the...

Please tell more or send a link to what you read. Thanks

I wasn't worried about space issues because I was thinking of setting it up in a camping trailer for traveling. I'm just getting tired of fixing radio issues and want to take it out of the box, set it up and talk a little DX with my radio friends. My whole life has been a challenge, I just want...

Seeing I was out of radio 30+ years chasing family dreams I don't understand it all as well as you guys do but you have me convinced to wait for the 6666-Pro because I can't keep buying radios chasing my DX dream. Lord knows I have enough to keep me occupied while I'm waiting. Thanks to both...

We must be brothers because that sounds like my luck ! LOL

We have all heard how good the AT-5555n2 is in stability and clarity which had me almost ready to buy one until PA messed around with the Hands Fee law so now because of it I am thinking of the AT-6666 so I could use a President BT-Mike with it. So I would like to hear from the experienced...

LOL Talk about cobble you should see what I did to a little tiny desk to make my radio bench. I took a sheet of 3/4 plywood and made a drop on top to expand the work area more than 3 times and made a raised shelf the length of it in the back to further expand the loading of equipment. If it...

Haven't heard a peep out of anybody, even 6 AM is deader than a door nail. Of coarse I haven't heard anybody around here on AM in a long time !

My Midland 75-822 came with a bnc connection so no adapters needed. Just took the Rubber Ducky off and installed a after market extendable antenna and got a radio check at approx. 15 miles from a high location. I bought a Cobra antenna that extends to 27" & 2 from Walmart.com that extend to...

That phone number shows up in a phone number search as registered to a woman instead of a business. She probably owns the business but further snooping around makes it appear Rinky Dink. It also had a complaint or 2 to the better business bureau, same as Walcott Radio and my personal experience...
