    Vintage SSB Base CBs vs New

    Exactly. I'll take my Grant XL over pretty much every thing else. I wouldn't mind picking up a clean Uniden base, or a clean cobra 2000.

    What happened to MOTOR MOUTH MAUL ??

    I was in his area thus past Monday for a celebration of life, I was able to hear him on the backside of his beam. He still sounds good on that side. His audio is fantastic!!

    New President Washington Mobile Radio?

    Loving my XL, the only menu I have is what knobs/ switch does what... 3 switches have been modified to do other than what is listed on the faceplate.

    New President Washington Mobile Radio?

    Very doubtful. Seems like most of the new mobile radios have menu buttons, and 2 maybe 3 knows. IMO, driver unfriendly. I much prefer the knobs on my Grant XL to a menu button that one has to read to adjust things.

    Alternative to Channel 19

    Even dialing into 41-44 there is still quite a bit of traffic there. I do think it would be nice if the guys on 38 would just use it as a call channel then take it to another channel... I enjoy going to .555 and sandbagging. Guys there will show up, call a few times and state what frequency they...

    epay...radio costs

    I don't bother selling anything there, I do look, and occasionally buy something. I have been looking for one of those black face Uniden Grant XL for years. I've seen only one on fleabay, and it was at a time when I didn't have the extra funds to drop on it.

    Superior Longhorn N6 SSB TX Distortion

    There is one there that has a $300 price tag, it's been there 9+ months. There are 3 others with extras, that don't look so bad, yet have blessed meter lights, one has multiple different colors, all from the same guy. No idea if they've been recapped or just modded. Minimum is about $150. Then...

    Superior Longhorn N6 SSB TX Distortion

    Have you checked fleabay prices on Grant XL lately?? Seen more than a few going for $300+. With shitty blue meter lights and bad mod installations.

    Superior Longhorn N6 SSB TX Distortion

    Seeing all these posts about noisy rx, and crappy TX audio in these newer radios that cost so much, I'm very happy that I haven't jumped in with the crowd, and that I've kept my Grant XL.

    SSB Call Sign?

    Friends decided that our little group needed numbers for cb. The picked the little series, and then their own; I got what was left as I wasn't present for that meeting. They started at 169, the guy who pushed this, took that one. The others picked their numbers 269, 369, 469. Out of the group, I...
