From what I have been told by my tech, They are discontinuing the General Lee and bringing out the General HP Radio. And you might still be able to find a George Washington, which is the same radio.
That my Friend, Is a rarity in it's self. I Thank You very much for that. In Salinas Ca. back in the early '70's We would run Ch.19 for home channel and the Truckers would run Ch.17. They would come up to Ch.19 for directions into the Produce House. around the Salinas Area. We also had CB Breaks...
It's Great to see an old operator get back into the game. A lot has changed since you left. They have a 10/11/12 meter radios with AM/FM/USB and LSB. With a Frequency range from 24-32mhz. Google RCI-2950dx. Oh yae even radios with an Echo Board and Talkback so you can really hear yourself talk...
Funny you should say that, When a lot of Base stations get on 27.185 and give a lot of Truckers a bunch of BullShit. As for me, 36+ yrs behind a wheel of a Semi, I still run a CB radio. And to imagine when we would get out to Shakey,We would switch over to Ch.17. I started back in the mid'70's...
As the Old Saying goes: Different Strokes for Different Folks.
I personally talk SSb and stay away from the Super Bowl, or is that The Chili Bowl ?? Hmmm, Maybe the Over modulated Bowl. Anyways JMHO
I have a Mint condition 2950dx Greenface background with a D104-M6 Mobile mic. Also all the original box and paperwork, Bracket, Stock mic, Power cord. Please bare with me as I am attempting to input some pics on this Beautiful unit. Frequency coverage is from 21-29.695 mhz. This is different...
I just sent Dave a message, And nest week i will be ordering my New Yeticom Optima. And this time I will be keeping this Nicely Built unit.
73,s
Skynyrd.
Being a Truck Driver for 36+ yrs. that was a long way around to get to Dave's shop from Pittsburgh to Carlisle/Harrisburg Pa. Must say though, I-68 is a beautiful drive in a 4-wheeler ( Car )
73,s
I just bought a Greenface background 2950dx brand new off of EBAY, Yea Brand new ?? Right. That's what i said, But I went ahead and gambled on this unit, And low and behold, It is a brand new unit. Got it for 150.00 plus shipping. that was my lucky buy of the year. But there was no E-chip...
I had a HR-2510 and the Lincoln, Never had the Ar-3300, But i had the black face Ar-3500 100wt model with all the extras. That was the best SSB radio i ever had. JMO.
I have been on the 11 meter side since 1973. Started Trucking in '77. I run 120 channels ( 40 above Ch.40, And 40 below Ch.1 ) I stay far away from the 10 meter Hammies, But I like my freedom of Freebanding. So sorry if i piss someone off, But I do have the coutersy of staying off of 10 Meter...
I have been gone for awhile, But I see the same Ol' shit. Robb does reviews on some items on his own time, Yet he still get's kicked and pissed on. As i said before, Why don't most of the members here do their own reviews. At least that way you can kick and piss on your own self. Enough Said.
I want to say, A recieve kit would've of worked to take out that hissy ( white noise ) as we call it. I have had some great 10 meter radios through my years. Radio Operator since '73. Ar-3500 100wt model, Yeticom Optima, Rci2970n2, 2950 first gen. just to name a few. Rci-2950dx would be my choice.
I had a Yeticom, When they first came out. ( I still kick myself for selling it ) The Yeticom has a few more options that the 257hp does, And yes the Yeticom does 50 watts veriable in which you can hook up a nice Linear to it. My choice is the Yeticom. This does remind me, I need to buy another...
