Yes, sir. Ran for over 10 years. the Radio Shack's finest. My wife would ask, why is there a big jack in the yard now? 11.95 back when Mullets were all the rage. We lived in a rural area on a hilltop. Would still be using it, but lost it with the house to the ex-wife. 15 feet up in the air...
I mentioned this all before. I am still using the Bob's CB RV mount. Only about 15 feet in the air off the side of the shed with EMT conduit and a 4X4. Two 7 foot Firstik for a 1/4 wave bent Dipole. Bottom leg at 30 Degrees. Being working fine. Not a big stick. Cheap, been holding up to...
Loosecannon and Nomadradio explained best. If you appreciate them then enjoy then keep them. If you need to strip for parts and you have them available then do it. I enjoy the old radios mainly, because of a lot of memories for family and friends. I've given away a few old Midlands that I...
A good friend rocked the Bengal back in the early 1980's His best Bengal story is a skip contact- accidental Channel 9 request via skip from Alaska to Pittsburgh area asking for a local sheriff to be called. I have a Pearce Simpson Pussycat- the entry base station. Can only say good things...
Public Service Announcement. These 39 inch no ground plane antennas make very quiet receive only VHF High band/ VHF low band scanner antennas. After concluded a coat hanger and tin foil would be more useful as a CB antenna- I repurposed my Saturn and the coax it needed to tune to a SWR...
I actually thought the skip was being jammed out by the nationwide army of New Mexico Winnebago worshipers. I was worried I would have to buy a new Stryker and get the Chinese caps redone with Vietnamese caps to cut through the jamming.
I was looking at the DX-5000 on Scott's Radio website. Thinking about buying a new radio with technology from this decade. Anything negative comments about the DX-5000 and the K-PO power mic. It's great that it can be software updated.
Same here, just noticed. Weather yesterday and today in NE causing so havoc on headache and seizure sensitive persons. Hope all stays well my friend. I had and episode some years ago, can me very scary. I was fortunate my PCP is a calm, knowledgeable gentleman. Relax, try to talk to Europe...
Do some garage sale, estate sale, E-Bay searching. Go for the old Radio Shack, Archer jobs. Set the old Archer dual meter on the old Royce base station. Grab, the mic, wait for the appropriate moment of channel 19 and mention- "Would you watch your language? I just happen to have my young...
From personal use. Expect just over 200 watts clear output with the HD 503. It will do more. It’s best not to push it near max. It will distort. Dave at DTB put it on the spectrum analyzer paired to my TR696 FD1. It’s pretty close to stock tune. 4 watt DK. I will give a clear 200 on AM and...
This is how when I read something quick your mind pieces stuff together based on knowledge and experience. Reading quickly, the title. I thought he’s was talking about replacing a CRT Hercules board, the IBM PC Hercules Graphics Adapter. I’m thinking if your having issues I have one packed in...

Going to go big time old school. Hustler time, I was truly surprised with the results I get with the Hustler center loaded. Not to mention the nostalgia factor of seeing them on the Bandit's Big Truck. Bob's CB suggested it and set it up the...
I have a 2017 Nissan Rouge. It has over 100,00 now. Plan to keep to 200,000 or at least give it a good attempt. 198,000 is best I ever made it to without a money pit like failure. I can do basic work myself, but my engine work ability became obsolete with interpreted circuits in cars...
I have not set up the stuff yet. I picked up a old Realistic Equalizer to put inline with the old stereo set to run the audio output through it try to clean up my incoming audio before it hits the speaker. Granted old school and garage sale, but still have my Realistic AM/FM amp and 50 watt...
I just changed the battery out of my Cobra Dynamic. old style black brick. My favorite mic. I use it on the base. I have to buy batteries last week for some red dot sights. i was at the local Batteries Plus. I got there last 7.5 volt little can. The one in the Dynamic was till running...
