These were made by Radio Shack, unfortunately no longer available. This meter (stock photo) is as new as you could find, and works great. Power setting has three selections, Modulation is calibrated just like the SWR gage. Shipping is for lower 48 only, no PO Boxes. Price including ECONOMY...
I've heard this several times, with yet a reasonable answer. In the late 60's, I ran a Contex 500 with a Tram Titan ll (5watt), nobody I knew of then was running 21/2 watt radio. You hooked it up and peaked and talked all over the world. I believe the transistor phase has had a big impact on the...
These Contex were very reliable for me in the late 60's/early 70's, they were AWESOME with a 3 element HY-GAIN. I laid mine @ 45 degrees and could talk antime I needed too. You didn't have to drop the dead key to run one of these, plug and go. JMHO, I wish I knew where a virgin one was, if...
Thanks for the shout out, we were not able to make it to Aunt catfish & your area, just ran out of time. I see you been really busy, keep up the challenge. 3's to you/your's, we'll catch up with you hopefully soon.

Captain Killowatt hit the nail on the head. As we were all new to cb's @ one time or another, the 1st. time you heard ssb you had no idea what it was. Once I moved up to a Tram Titan ll (23 channel w/ssb) and a 3 element beam with plenty of juice, I did the same as everyone else. Channel 16 was...

I knew it was coming when I could not find the web page the last time I tried to login, I really like the new site and believe it will be easy to find the way around. It's been awful quite here in Georgia lately until the skip rolls in. Glad to be back on line. 3's to you/yours, good evening.

If you have in your area "YARD SALES/GARAGE SALES" look around, you would be surprised what you can find.
Last Saturday I stumbled on a box full of wires etc. I sat in the shade and rumbled thru it. Wala, I found a really nice Avanti Vertical/Horizontal switching box in perfect condition...
Never did own one, but I can tell you there were a lot of them back in the day. Most everybody had some type of juice then and not the small transistor type. Never heard one that sounded bad, JMHO, good luck and Buy it, as mentioned someone will buy it from you. Good day,

I found a 1-641 in really nice shape with a powered D-104 dirt cheap. All I had to do was re-wire the mic, flawless radio incl SSB. Currently use it as my Base, really like it. Good evening/3's to you/yours.
