    While KRV7693 my first CB was a General Radio Telephone 6 channel crystal controlled tube radio. It had a seperate switches to select the rx and tx crystal. And a big honkin' carbon mic. At first my parents woudn't let me run coax into the house so I had to take the radio outside when I...

    Retards Trying To Work Skip On 19 AM

    Dude, you're a ham so you don't have to listen to morons on ch 19 trying to work skip. You can listen to people on amateur frequencies actually doing it. You can too!!

    27.3850 lsb call ch... 2hr qso, really?

    I think the CB meaning of "calling channel" is a lot different than a "calling frequency" fro hams. To the average CB'er it means channel 39 in lsb mode is where you go if you want to talk to someone using ssb and not make a contact and move to another channel. LIke channel 6 is for talking to...

    QYT KT-8900D Dual Band Mini Radio

    Just ordered today and it's coming from China. The ad says delivery by 11/26 and usually anything I order that ships from China arrives earlier that what they estimate. US retailers should take a lesson from the Chinese on shipping.

    QYT KT-8900D Dual Band Mini Radio

    I ordered one of these today from eBay. It's the Gen 2 version and the price is under $100 including the programming cable and software CD. Anyone else have one? I just wanted something to monitor the local not so busy repeaters and to play around with. I may take my aging Kenwood dual...

    I though the rule was - everyone talk at once and the loudest signal wins. CQ heterodyne, etc.

    Yaesu M-1 microphone

    I'd pay the $749.95 if every time you keyed the mic an election protester fell down an open manhole :)

    Bloody Hell: Power Line Internet Ruining The HF Band

    That's not good. I haven't heard much about BPL here is the US lately. I think we dodged that bullet for now anyway.

    Yaesu M-1 microphone

    A while back I saw where they were coming out with this mic. I though the expected retail pricing was a typo. Guess not.

    New Palomar Ceramic Microphone

    Not saying they won't sound good, just not thinking they or the parts inside are made in the US like Heil microphones. Even Heil is probably sourcing some parts from Asia. Seems that bringing back a brand that we all once knew and loved is the thing now to sell a product. Heathkit is a good...

    COURIER SPARTAN 40 CH AM/SSB & PRESIDENT ADAMS 40 CH/SSB

    musicman4260, Is that picture of the President Adams the actual radio you are selling or did you use s picture from the internet?

    New Palomar Ceramic Microphone

    Exactly. The mic is most likely another product being cranked out in some Chinese factory, branded and packaged for the customer ordering them. Much like Dr. Dre's Beats headphone that use $7.00 worth of snap together parts and sell for $199.

    If Trump can make good on his promises......

    No doubt there will be because it's still hanging in the air from every speech Obama gave about social and racial injustice over a number of incidents. He did that before knowing very much about the situations of which he spoke. We all saw the results on the evening news. Our media is as...

    If Trump can make good on his promises......

    Trump definitely has his work cut out for him. We need someone to run this country like a business for four years. I think the entire country is tired of career politicians and their personal political agendas making life tougher on hard WORKING Americans. Key word their is WORKING... The...

    If Trump can make good on his promises......

    To all my Facebook friends who said they would move to Canada if DT won I offered a ride across the state to the Bluewater Bridge and Canadian customs. There were no takers. :)
