Taking your father to the hospital when you were concerned was a big step. God is watching out for you and your family my friend.

8 seconds of transmit then poof...

Maybe he will venture south of the border and be the CB radio connection for the Mexican cartels.

You have already discovered the first step- the hobby leads to building things. Have the best of times my friend.

The first radio I had every taken to be peaked and tuned. The tech did it in front of me. The radio was a Uniden PC66. The tech removed the tuning slug and said, "That's it, this radio is simple to tune." Lol, we all live and learn.

Call Bob's CB they have a rack of different size whips in the shop to make replacements.

I have truly thought about taking my dogs poop, placing it a paper bag, vacuum sealing it and selling it on Ebay as, Organic House Plant Fertilizer "Vacuum Seal Packaged at the Peak of Freshness."

I think the pattern is USA outsources to China, then China outsources to Vietnam. Chinese companies are buying up American manufacturer names right and left. In the gun world Chinese copies of Remington 870 shotguns are better than the last produced Remington 870s. Pretty soon Jack Daniels...

I can not find a definitive answer when I look it up, did police departments ever use CB radios for daily operations and dispatch, like you see in movies and on the TV? Was it really VHF low band 30-50 MHz, and TV Land and Hollywood makes it out to be CB Radio?

Remember fish bowl cameras or the Amazing Cow Cam. Most likely the SDRs are being setup by someone who is proud of the setup and has no real interest in people actually using their SDR for a practical purpose. Same thing with online police scanner setups.

I totally agree the impound company got a new TV and free air compressor. The A#$ Hats could have let you take your belongings without any problems. Especially your area. I hate to be negative too, sometimes It's best just to not have expectations of people, then you avoid disappointment. Do...

Mark Sherman had mentioned he used to do Cobra 29s and Uniden 68s, but there is no money in CB radio repair and mods, so he's a strictly Stryker man. Does anyone recall Mark Sherman's work when he worked on CB radios repair and mods, echo boards, etc?

Mr. Sherman had mentioned he has truck driving experience. My new prediction is he's on the air while driving cab in Tijuana. He is taking tourists to the Famous TJ Donkey Shows. Fine Tune CB Radio will become urban legends like the Donkey Shows.

Awesome work.

I suspect if you open the case you may find evidence of modification origin, such as assorted bits of sand,from the plains of New Mexico desert, or the slight smell of Dawn Mild Radio Douche. Anyway thumbs up on orginality, I have always wanted to put a model PC motherboard and components inside...

Collecting 1970s CB Radios leads to serial buying. I am sure a lot of members here agree with me. Best example I have come to mind. Let's say I find a NIB Cobra 78X at a garage sale. I do not think- "This is a poor example of a quality Cobra CB for the 1970s." I do not think it's no Cobra...

Sounds like the Hamfest went the way of some of the gun shows. I used to be that dealers brought the stuff that sat around the store for a while to get rid of what they could with pretty good deals. Now the dealers bring the whole store, but multiple the regular price X 3 because of the show...

They had them CB romances in the Citizen Band movie from the late 1970s.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays my friends.

Everyone is a great bunch of guys here. I am going to date myself here. I migrated here from the Clown's forum which was rather unique in it was used to promote specific sponsors of the forum. It normally took a few months for a new member to figure that out and get banned from the forum. I...
