    National Media and Teenagers.

    I have to add some humor to this one. Does everyone remember about the song years ago about how Stupid People should have to wear a Sign so you know which one not to bother. That's why I'm glad when they put their political signs in their yard so I know which ones are Stupid and I don't waste my...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I squeezed out Iowa on the way home from a VA appointment today, but again the channels were filled with buzz so I know my radio is just small potatoes compared to some of them. Maybe eventually I'll get time to hook up my KL-300 P for hopefully a little more Juice. What do the Pros in here...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I did hit Nebraska today for the first time ever on my way home from the road trip. But all the channels were buzzing so I knew I had competition. But at least I know my McKinley and KL-203 P are working together and I was in a hurry to get home.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I finally got my KL-203 P hooked up and traffic was heavy but didn't make contacts and figured it might of been from too much traffic. We will try again tomorrow when I do my 2 hr. road trip.

    need parts or its for sale

    Isn't that the truth. You have to get creative. I've had everything from full size to my McKinley with a KL-203 P mounted in my Chevy Cobalt but good thing I don't have to carry passengers often. LOL

    My Kind Of Women.....

    Don't get me wrong I think the POS got what he deserved but even if you have a carry permit sometimes you have to choose your battles very careful.

    My Kind Of Women.....

    The whole idea is great but too much was missing in the video. I hope some Philadelphia Lawyer didn't turn it into her worse nightmare! It doesn't look like she was the one being attacked ?

    I had that problem once with a Cobra 29 and a broken display. I sprayed CRC contact cleaned in on the channel changer knob and got my display back again. Can't guaranty anything but it might be worth a shot. The display was still working the last I tried it but it has been a while because it was...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Been hearing a lot of activity on the radio but been in full swing of summer tear down and winter prep. But I did take the time to open the KL-203 P and spray the switches with contact cleaner because I gotta get it ready for my 2 Hr. road trip this week so it is a reinstall tomorrow. And the...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Was on the radio for a short time this morning and made another Texas contact on 37 lsb but can't ever seen to contact a WWDX member contact. Texas must have a lot of operators ! I didn't have my hearing aids in so I kept it short because of projects waiting, but just had to see if I was...

    Back on the radio here in Western, NC...after hurricane Helene.

    That is some of the best news I've heard in a while. This old boy gets sick of what mother nature does to my neighbors. People work all their life to build a home and it can be wiped out in the blink of a eye. Guess I better not complain about our snow. Welcome back !

    Average distance for a Bone Stock 11 Meter SSB radio.

    Sounds like you had the right combination, tuned well together. I've heard before the realistic radios were good radios but I never had the pleasure of owning one. I did have a Wilson Lil Wil before and hated it but maybe because I didn't clip the stinger to tune it better. Thanks for sharing ...

    Average distance for a Bone Stock 11 Meter SSB radio.

    I took a quick peek inside one time and it didn't look easy adjustable so I'm not going to sweat it because it will probably get replace with my Lincoln II+ or a Anytone 6666 Pro after the dust settles and the bugs are out of the New Kid in Town. LOL

    Average distance for a Bone Stock 11 Meter SSB radio.

    It's not the PA jack port that is loose, it is the external speaker port that seems loose, and I've tried a couple different external speakers with the same result so I don't think it is the external speaker. In all my years of CB I've probably only used the PA speaker port a couple times so I...

    Average distance for a Bone Stock 11 Meter SSB radio.

    They are sensitive to Northern PA cold winter temps. for mobile operation which require some warm up time but for a inside base station it would be more stable. Did you ever experience the external speaker port on the back being bored out maybe a little large so the speaker pin breaks contact...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Can't we all. I'm in this house about 49 years and my goal is get it cleaned out. Next year is massive yard sales and then a dumpster. In the mean time advertise on Graiges List

    Don't feel alone, sometimes I don't have nice thoughts of the Mexico radios but I guess they are trying.

    Every now and then I try 16 lsb and never seem to get much out of it. But I'll keep trying !

    Just Curious did you ever unlock the clairifier on your 979 ? I have 2 of those 979s with the external freq. counter and like the receive on them but feel they need to be unlocked because they jump up 3 digits when transmitting. I was thinking I should give him 1 of those because they seem...
