    Old droopy gp

    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...

    old Midland cb's

    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...

    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...

    Who else thinks they are blocking the skip with chemtrails or haarp?

    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.

    Hello! RM Italy KL 503 HD vs 505v thoughts?

    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...

    Dash Mounting a full size chassis CB in a automobile

    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...
