    If that radio is his Holy Grail, I'd say he is not much of a collector!!

    Base Does anyone know what antenna this is? (Super Scanner)

    The control box shows up on Ebay from time to time. There is on on Craigslist here in Seattle now. I had one that came with a bunch of other stuff I bought. It worked but I had a hard time selling it on Ebay. I had to list it a few times. It finally sold for $15. The Super Scanner was a very...

    Mosley CB Antennas

    Mini beam = mini signal! If you have room for a mini beam you have room for a real beam.

    President Bill any opinions?

    It would be awfully small for using in a base situation. It is very close to the size of an old internal 3.5" floppy drive but not as deep as I recall. I think that would be tedious to work with for longer periods of time. Changing mic would be problematic as don't you change channels with the...

    Amplifier Repair

    Sounds like they are referring to tube amplifiers but it could be worded better. If they don't they should have stated "or any amplifiers".

    President Bill any opinions?

    President Bill any opinions?

    Of course they say that. They want to sell you one! "Better" in what way?? That's like walking into a fishing tackle shop and asking how the fishing has been. It is always GREAT! They want to sell you a bunch of stuff!

    Ground mounting an IMAX 2000

    Will it work? Yes it probably will. The big question is how WELL will it work for what you want to do and your expectations! There is no way to know until you put it up and try it out for a while. That is pretty much true for any antenna installation. Put it up and see how it goes. You already...

    A LITTLE AMP NOSTALGIA D&A flyer

    I used to love getting Henshaw's and also some other catalogs back about 1969. I think Kris had a catalog I would get as well. A lot of the cool stuff in the catalogs just wasn't to be found locally for sale so it was pretty "WOW!!" to see in the catalogs.

    Hey older hammies, what's with the attitude???

    I have been a ham for almost 50 years now. I was on CB a lot for about two years before that. I really enjoyed going to CB breaks (breakfast breaks) a handful of the locals had back then on Saturday mornings.Same with a group of hams in more recent years. We used to have repeater group meetings...

    Ebay AL-811H, What Have I done?

    I just saw it didn't come with any tubes. I wouldn't have paid that much for it but that is water under the bridge.

    Ebay AL-811H, What Have I done?

    I had an AL-811 for several years. With reasonable care in tuning it up you shouldn't have any problems. You can almost buy 2 sets of 811A tubes for the cost of the 572B tubes. Only problem I had with the amp was it needed more padding capacitance on 80 meters. Easy fix. I have an AL-80B now...
