    Stryker SR-89MC

    Yes I have done this. I also took a double female cat 5 connector I mounted in my dash panel so it looks like the mic plugs in the dash.

    Stryker SR-89MC

    Unless you were selling yours for $89 shipped no conversion. Yes it is smt. The conversion was as simple as removing a small blob of solder on the board. The more challenging part was dropping the carrier. But hey I did it myself, and it came out great. Plus I gained a little bit of knowledge...

    So in 1982 Clear Channel Released the AR Series of Radio 34yrs ltr..

    My 2 cents on this.... I agree....on the chassis size. Yes, gone are the days of cars and trucks with ample space under the dash for even a large chassised CB. My own daily driver Toyota Tacoma has virtually NO where to mount a CB. I got lucky when I found the Anytone Smart CB, which is a very...

    Kenwood radios ?...

    I have a TS2000 with an MC-60 mic. I have to wonder how I sound on the air.

    galaxy 93t 10meter for sale or trade

    Not to mention why would you use a 93T for 10 meter use when it doesn't even have a full VFO?

    Which CB Shops are still accepting mail-in repairs?

    The way electronics are these days, they're built to be thrown away when they fail. With that said, try Ricks radios. He used to repair my Magnum radios. http://ricksradioshop.com/

    Yeticom Optima MK3 Mobile

    Yes, I just installed mine and I'm told it sounds muffled on am. I can't reach anyone on SSB. At best the rdcdive is very good.

    Anytone Smart Radio

    BBB, I have a Texas Star DX500 I run mine into. I have been told to turn down the carrier on the radio itself instead of using the dial a watt on the amp. Although I don't see why I couldn't run a straight 4 watts into the amp, that's like 1 watt per 2879. Although I think now I want to look...

    148 vs Export Radio - Why?

    Ace, my "guess" on why so many like the exports are because of a few reasons... 1. Extra channels 2. Echo 3. Roger beep 4. Power Most of these are not available on FCC certified CB's. I believe some Galaxy certified CB's have roger beep built in. Sure you can "add" any of the above to any...

    what to use to clean your equipment?

    I use Formula 1 Scratch Out (automotive paint swirl remover) from the auto parts store on a cotton buffing wheel on a Dremel. It's a very fine rubbing compound. I did this today on a Connex 3300 I'm cleaning up. There was a bit of grime caked on the knobs and the face plate was faded. This...

    Looks like this guy caught a little break...Fine reduced

    And that is the issue....you puff your chest out like you are high and mighty, but then get sent home with your tail between your legs from the perpetrator no less. This only PROVES how cowardly the FCC can be. Instead they need to make a real example out of this fool instead of letting him make...

    They have the "I ain't never 'gon git caught" mentality. They think the FCC doesn't exist, or only cares about when Miley Cyrus plans to ride another wrecking ball nude.

    Bad CB Shops

    Mr. CB on I-70, exit 28 in Missouri. My belief is, it's because when you are sitting for long hours in truck waiting to unload or just otr and are bored, these "toys" essentially turn your radio, which is basically a "tool" into a toy. You know, to "amuse yourself", at the expense of pissing...

    It's out !! RCI 2970 N4 200/400 watts

    These types of radios (2970N2, 2970N4, Galaxy 98VHP, Connex 4300-300/400) cater to the truck driver who can't or doesn't want to run an external amp in his truck. Probably more so if/when a truck driver happens to be slip seating. While it's nice and convenient to have an "all in one" radio...

    CB Repair Shops

    If it's the one I'm thinking of, they went out of business. They had a post on Craigslist in February of this year. They were liquidating everything 30-50% off.
