    Bob's CB Radio Shop

    While I do not like the Top Gun Modulator (which Bob is supposed to have come up with), he does have a good reputation in the business. I was talking to a Magnum rep a few days ago about a DOA S9-80 that I had, and the topic of Bob now running a 1-man operation came up. If you do see slow...

    what to buy - base or mobile (when you have a power supply)?

    many HF rigs only have a narrow-band SSB filter installed from the factory. You need to add a wider (6khz) filter to effectively use the rig on AM. My old Kenwood TS-430S was like that. I had to purchase an AM filter to add to the existing SSB filter. It switched between filters as you switched...

    what to buy - base or mobile (when you have a power supply)?

    I think the 98 VHP is a good choice. I've heard no complaints about them from anyone so far. If you don't need quite that much power, snap up an RCI 6900 Turbo, and if you dont need the echo/talkback, grab yourself an RCI 2970.

    I have also heard both good and bad, unfortunately a bit more bad than good. I haven't seen any of their actual work for myself, so I can't comment on that aspect.

    Time for a new radio

    just got a stryker sr490hp

    So far, other than a couple minor issues with the antenna connection coming loose on a couple, I've had nothing but good reports. I keep selling out of these things, both the 440 and 490.

    ordered the Connex 4300HP-300 today

    Thats what I like about this forum, too. You can say what you want (within reason, of course) and you won't get booted. There will naturally be disagreements, but for the most part, the forum seems to be civil. Sure, there are times when I would LOVE to grab Switchkit through the screen and slap...
