    WTB - QUALITY power mic

    Right now I am using an old Cobra Dynamike Plus on my Texas Ranger 696 FD1. Amazing that the 7.5 volt camera battery still has a charge. Really, they clearly do not make them like they used too. Battery is probably from 1988. I get really positive reports back as compared to the coffin mic I...

    Its time to get out of radio

    Just do not buy anything new. I have a collection of radios most people would consider worthless junk. I have lost track of how many radios that I have given away to someone that expressed interest in CB. Right now I am using a Midland 882B from 1976 as a mobile with the original Midland mic...

    Whatever Happened To . . . .?

    I'm still around. Honestly, I am going through the divorce from Hell, married 20 years. We could make the movie, "Hellraiser, Pinhead's Divorce- the Origin Story." I am trying my best not to be Norm from Cheers. I've got a few projects in the works. My home base antenna took a Tornado...

    Do Tubes have a different sound than transistors?

    Just like you can get all the digital sound processing you want, but RIP- Meat Loaf the Rock of the Universe- still sounds best on the original 8-track. Every time I hear Bat Out of Hell, today I still swear it sounded better in my 1978 Nova with the Sears AM/FM 8-track and Jensen Tri-Axial...

    Lost or Found?

    My friend is probably still celebrating that Mando showed up in the Book of Boba Fett, on Disney+. The last line after agreeing to help Boba Fett was, "First, I have to go see a friend." So, thus one can conclude perhaps he is going to see baby Yoda, and thus we may have another sighting of Luke...

    sears roadtalker 934-38260702 channel mod

    You got to appreciate the Road Talker. I used to have a slant face AM only model. She could walk the walk and talk the talk. The slant face was on the list of radios and antennas that I gave to a friend, because he wanted a CB. Its a rather long regretful list, second list only to rifles and...

    Bad Temper

    No problem at all. Thank you for a thoughtful apology. I am aware that not everyone appreciates my sense of humor. I am sure I have unintentionally offended other here while I was just being myself.

    I know this is probably a dream. Is there anyone who can narrow band capable a Motorola Saber. Sabers went the way of dinosaurs, and cars from Detroit in 2013. I was always told they are not narrow band capable. I would love, be able to use a Saber at work again. There were always my...

    Line conditioner or surge protection strip

    with that much power go with the line conditioner, or whole house surge protection on your breaker box. I have looked at that in the past. I believe that your thinking is correct to have the protection and be safer.

    Line conditioner or surge protection strip

    For using in your station good surge protectors will work well. I had used surge protector, UPS with sine wave regulation on computer server equipment in the past. The 1200w line conditioner is a bit much, but if you are building your dream setup then pull the trigger on it if you want it.
