    Hey RT, how has that mic been ? Just scored one, had to build a battery, haven't had a chance to key it yet.

    Random 250 question.

    The outside is extremely rough, cover was held on with Gorilla tape. I was very surprised when I pulled the cover at how drastically different the inside condition is.

    Random 250 question.

    I have not hooked it up yet, came out of a SK station in Ohio. I suppose powering it up might help determine if it's worth the effort.

    Random 250 question.

    So this no name 250 shows up yesterday pretty beat up. Almost zero $$ invested, so maybe worth fixing ? The heatsink and cover are junk, can it be transplanted within reason to a new heatsink ? TIA Todd

    Featured member photos ?

    So I use this forum strictly on my Android phone, no pc or tablet. When I open a new Goggle tab, there are a few buttons for frequently visited sites. No clue how they are selected, but when I open WWDX, I'm always greeted by "featured member photos", and I frequently browse through them. My...

    SWR Meter Placement For Tuning With Amplifier

    Lots of good info here. What is the consensus on an E.F. Johnson CB Matchbox 250-49 tuner ? I know that it's '50's technology, but so are most of the meters being discussed here. Suitable for a mobile installation ? Todd

    Real CB Radios are side mic

    Before After Not terribly impressed with the protection at the microphone end, and it's a panel mount receptacle. No heat shrink on hand to fit over the bulkhead fitting, but I will get some and it will most likely work just fine.

    Real CB Radios are side mic

    Slightly off topic - I have side and front mic radios, all 4 pin, and would like to find a right angle adapter to use with my "real" radios. I know that I can put a right angle plug on my mic(s), but then they don't play as friendly on my "non-real" radios. I've looked at several sites and...
