    Fun with guns

    No offense taken, But your wife will hate you if you buy P3AT .380 for her as a "Girl gun". You said you have one as a back up, Have you ever shot it? The P3AT .380 kicks like a mule at only 11.1oz fully loaded. In the time I have owned my Kel Tec .380 P3AT I have shot over 250 rounds through it...

    Doc's Electronics?

    I have been talking to Doc pretty regularly and he just did an awesome job on a Colt Excalibur and a Uniden Grant XL for a friend of mine and a Uniden PC-122 XL for me. If you need work done just be sure to call him first.

    galaxy 959

    Do you care to explain? I have not once seen you add one piece of information that would be relevant to this person's question. Is certainly the "HACK" way of doing things! So Mr. Intelligence please explain to me what it is you think I don't know what I am talking about.

    galaxy 959

    I would repost your questions in the CB Radio part of this forum, It seems to me that not very many people look at the Tech Bench area to much. You will probably get more correct information there. As far as online modifications go, Some are correct and some are not. If I remember correctly...

    galaxy 959

    Mislead him? Misleading someone is having a person who does not know much about radios turning random pots. The reason I give that advice to people is because I have been on the bad side of people being inside a radio, It has cost me a lot of money over the years to fix peoples screw ups. I have...

    Just have it done by someone that knows what they are doing. People who give advice like that are the ones who destroy radios. :roll:

    Texas Ranger TR-396FC

    Does anyone have any information on these radios? They have a great price and a 6-digit frequency counter that is definitly a selling point. Are they decent quality? How are they after tuning? What is their chassis based on? Any info would be greatly appreciated. :D Thanks,
