Everyone goes through adjusting tune. Play with the settings on the meter. Then set the radio to 3-4 watts dead key to whatever it will swing. The Cybernet boards will sound nice and clear, but are not a powerhouse. I have an old Pearce Simpson Pussycat 23 base. The old box will sound nice and...

This is from CB Tricks for the Lafayette HB 640. I used to have one. I donated it to a local police department for their mobile scales van.

Most likely its a Cybernet board and has a ton of cross references to other radios. Look up the Lafayette CB radios that look like they have the same features and chassis layout. The schematic may be easier to find. Best of luck.

Many thanks. I have no problem doing any type of PC, Mac repair, but the soldering iron is my nemesis. I have to build two PCs for my boys for Christmas. Both will be Dell chassis with all recycled parts. Seems silly, I always end up with a mess if I touch a soldering iron. I should really...

I've been having a lot of success with the longevity of Blackview branded Android tablets for my kids. They are Chineseum of course. Looks like a Lenovo tablets with the generic name. Anyway, my older son managed to break of the inner piece of the USB-C recharging jack. My soldiering skills...

Happy Tryptophan Awareness Day my friends. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Don't forget the Tennis Ball, from Petsmart. I move mine up and down to tune for best SWR readings- LOL.

My 15y/o son has come to live with me full time 5 weeks ago today. His mother had some emotional issues and it was not in his best interest to remain with her and boyfriend. Coming home from school the past week he keeps asking me is WW III is going to start if President Trump is not...

I will comment that for the longest time I had a constant buzzing interference, made no sense, but all channels, worse on lower to mid band. I was outside looking at lights. Thinking about near by construction. Turns out it was a cheap 7.99 power strip with three USB ports to charge phone...

I always a fan of the the answer to park a 1978 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, or Suburban in your back yard, setup on cinder blocks. Put a Wilson, Siro, or Tram big mag mount antenna on the roof. 9 foot whip to the big chrome bumper. Drill the old ball mount in center of the roof. Run some good...

I agree 7 miles. Testing a stock radio after leaving Bob's CB on I-80 headed toward Clarion, PA straight out Interstate. Radio can do 7 miles to his Base antennas.

Anyone of our friends stuck in the hurricane damage zone. We are all praying for recovery for all friends and family. My understanding is this is the worst natural disaster in US in that I can recall in my lifetime.

10-4, Sounds like a good day to watch Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit on VHS.

Bob will still do repairs, no base radios. He has a waiting list- you drop off the radio and he will get to it in line. He will do simple repairs and tunes while you wait. Dave in Carlisle, PA- DTB will do drop off repairs. I do not think he will do mail in anymore. Cobra CB Shop in...

Last week I was at the Rinky Dink Indoor Flea Market in Marietta, Ohio. It is a clean operation, I think at old Hills Store. The point is as you walk in the front and go to the back left hand corner the husband and wife sell random elderly electronics. He has a Cobra 2000, one speaker, with...

Glad they did not boobytrap CB Radios. We can start the rumor that any radio with the mod limiter cut or removed should be turned over to a radio professional for proper disposal.

When they are running right the old Saturns rock and roll. We had a local lady who would talk every night on a Saturn and she really sounded well, like TV audio. That's back when everyone ran an IMAX and about 8 people around town still talked in evenings and smoked cigarettes, opened up the...

Looks like he is doing experiments with the long forgotten Super Whack Pack.

Sometimes a shitty day can look up by reading people helping one another. TY

When I was in elementary school I still think more kids had the Roger Staubach player shirt than Bradshaw and I grew up just south of Pittsburgh, PA. Eventually everything you love gets ruined lately. Just waiting for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders to field a lady that looks like Mario, from...
