Has one of those. They are great radios. Not sure why I let it go. I did replace it with a grant xl, and that love affair persists as I have 3 of them... one perfectly stock and unmolested.

Here ya go. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385547554290?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5336136228&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

WOW!!!! That's fantastic!!! Love that XL.

Every time I turn on the radio I hear a lot of chatter. I just haven't been able to chat with anyone. I've been trying to figure out a mic issue as of late. Some days it works, some days it don't. Last radio check I got I was told my audio was real quiet. That was on the stock mic. Ever since...

Many years ago I had a base with an a99 on a tower. It worked really well. A buddy of mine was on the radio, on top of what we here call a mountain. He and I were talking easily back and forth, then a couple of guys that were closer to him (still well below him, in both elevation and power)...

In my area the only cops who have a cb in the car are CHP. Even then it is a rare thing, mostly only the CHP DOT truck. Although many years ago a buddy and I were running down a grade listening to 19 and some trucker was asking about the "polar bear". I responded that he was at the bottom of the...

It is, I've known that for years. I also know that there are a lot of people I know who can't get there... So I'll play where they can until I get tired of the crap. Then back to the freeband I go.

102" stainless is the best, just hard to get mounted where they need to be on some vehicles... Currently running a Monkey Made MM9 with a breedlove mount. It is mounted on 1/8" steel that the bed is made of at the same height as the roof; if it were on the roof. It is not tuned as low as...

Grant XL with frequency counter frequencies from 26.505-28.085, rock solid no drift, 150% modulation. Texas Star 667 size/ power comparable amp with a pre-amp that amplifies the signal 10x not the noise.

20 some years ago I made a brief contact with a station in Australia, never kept track of dx contacts back then I was talking on a Uniden Grant with a silver streak 150 backing it up through a 102" stainless whip. More recently I was heading to Palm Springs area a few years ago and made contact...

Just a thought, see about finding a piece of steel the same length as the new spring. Then drill and tap that so you can mount that in place of the spring and see if that keeps your match down. The downside of this idea is that you will need to make sure that you don't slam your antenna into...

Depending on what is on 38, I'll kick dow to 35-37 or I'll jump up to 42. I've heard some pretty good conversations on 42. Nice peaceful, respectful chat. I like it there.

I have been staying off am 90% of the time. I do keep hearing some ass doing something similar on 38 LSB...

I haven't really had the opportunity to play with many tube amps, as most of the time I have only really had mobile setups. That said, I personally would consider anything that a tester says is 90-95% good to be matched. The smaller the percentage difference the better. The 3 at 95% would be...

Mostly in the little bags they came in on a shelf with everything else.

Right now, the fan in my bedroom window, as I'm relaxing in bed working on my 1st cup of coffee. Starting off slow today, not all that much to do. Head to the barn I work at and throw some grain to the horses, exercise a friend's dog nextdoor, then work on the shirts I have curing on the dash of...

38lsb and classic rock on the truck stereo. Later today when I hit the course, classic country via cell phone.

The new radios have a few features that are kinda nice. That said, there is no way that I will exchange my Grant XL for any of them. My XL has better ears than a lot of the type accepted CB radios built, not to mention the stuff made today. The only downside I can see is that parts are becoming...

Stay safe when the storm hits guys!!
