Want in very good condition Regency Range Gain II CB. Post reply & I will get with you via internet.

I search the internet and found quite a few replies on forums about increasing the dismal Cobra Cam 88 modulation as set by the factory. But, no one stated how to perform the mod- go figure. The mod is simple. Cut the resistor out of circuit at the Dyna Boost switch. All done. The factory stock...

I bought a used FT-726R for 2 meter & 430mHz SSB. Paid $300. Radio arrived and it did not work oin FM. It is doubtful I would ever use FM, but did not like idea of a partly broken radio. I would also have to find amps to boost signal from 10 watts to 80-100 watts. Seller refunded me. Thinking...

I believe Yaesu sold just as much FT-101s to CBers as Hams. It came with 11 meters.

Just curious. I use channel 11 & 13 for the most part.

Although a Ham. I like CB just as much- go figure.

BTW- I like the Hy Gain amps with the funky wood grain front panel. The Hy Gain provide a clean signal and have a great SWR match to your radio.

Stick with a 100 watt amp. Tube type provide the cleanest signal that gives little opportunity to interference. TVs are digital now and most are on cable. So chances of TV interference in minimal. Use a Bencher low pass filter on the amplifier output.

BTW- parts are available at Mouser.

How much power and type antenna is needed to bust thru channel 6 superbowl?

Get a linear type (not switching type) power supply such as an older Astron. 5 amp CCS/7amp ICAS, Amps rating is plenty and can run accessories. The Cobra 148 is a fine radio. These hear stations as good as the best new ham radios. Perhaps a Turner +3 microphone would be a good addition. Turner...

CB radios do not have plate & load controls on the front panel. The controls are on rear and only need possible adjustment with an RF tube change. A screwdriver & possibly slug alignment tool is used.

Yep, speaker. The Cobra was bought used in very good condition. I recently bought the Cobra 87 GTL as NOS. The 87 GTL is dual conversion receiver with a ceramic IF filter in each conversion. Like a Cobra 2000. It also produces monster audio with one diode clipped out of circuit. Same chassis...

The Tuner +3 is a fine microphone for communications. Besides being amplified, it has an audio compressor inside that makes for louder average modulation without over-modulating your radio. This microphone was briefly made in the early 1970s. Problem today is the microphone is old with failing...

Sounds like low voltage to relay. New capacitors will raise the voltage. Here is my tube CB gem.

Try Ken's in MI.

As for 40 channel with SSB, Browning Golden Eagle MK IV and Tram D201A. Both are expensive around $250 on up.

I use a Cobra Cam 88. Tube radios have ultra clear receive & transmit audio. I have a Cobra 87 GTL back up. The Cam 88 has modified modulation.

I did buy an export radio. It is a Kenwood TS-590SG. Last US company was Ten Tec. Now, no more US manufactures.
