    Help with Uniden PC-122

    Toss it. Buy a used 2010 year or newer Cobra 29. I find these as low as $35 on eBay. If you have to have SSB buy President McKinley or Uniden Bearcat 980.

    Royce cb radios

    Most vintage Royce do not work. The model 619 is an exception. I believe the entire IF section was an IC. Ok but not sensitive receiver. I heard final RF amp was like a driver thus not smart to turn up power.

    Three Reliable used Budget HF Transceivers

    Many old HF transceivers have issues such as the TS-440 & TS-450 digital display dot issue. Three reliable transceivers can be bought for about $400. Yaesu FT-840, ICOM IC-718 and Kenwood TS-570. I never read of a repair needed but guess a few broke. The best of lot is TS-570 with factory DNR...

    Vintage SSB Base CBs vs New

    Buy a Uniden Washington year 2000 CB for $250 on eBay then. Year 2000 does not need a rebuild. No nasty 1970s to early 1980s CBs for me. I believe serial number starting with a 0 are year 2000 (check this). This radio has three buttons on lower right front panel.

    Best Newer AM CB- Cobra 29

    I have tested various mobile AM CB radios and believe the Cobra 29 is as good as it gets. $89 new I find less than 10 year old used Cobra 29 for $35 on eBay. I owned a Uniden PC66 and the transmit and receive audio did not match the ultra clear Cobra 29 audio. Using the RF gain the Cobra 29 has...

    Vintage SSB Base CBs vs New

    If you have to have a base SSB radio the vintage CBs require all electrolytic capacitors to be replaced for starters. Oter issues may exist. IMO it is not worth it. Buy a new or used Galaxy DX-2547. Look for a 2010 or newer year. Do not turn up power out, the final transistors are not that strong.

    Junker 858 Madison

    These old CBs needs every electrolytic capacitor replaced. Frankly, I would rather buy a trouble free new President McKinley CB and call it a day.
