You know I do, I got one set with 2879’s in them and another running dual 520’s. Amazing what you can do with 9v batteries these days, oh and some dark side helps too.

I think trp needs a solar panel to power it,rusty bailing wire antenna
 
Just thought of easier build for a current manufacturer. Stryker 955 stuffed into a 447 case. Drop the color change and put the SSB switch in that spot. Dual finals and be done. The 955 seems pretty stable and Stryker has a nice normal meter on that of decent size. Keep under or about $250 and I think they would sell an epic ton.

the only other option is AT-6666 (same basic mfg line) and do same stuff into a case with knobs and a bigger meter.

Edited to add: Just emailed Stryker about this idea

Put a 955 into a base station case, with optional 400w amplifier, and I’ll take one!

So many of the problems with today's exports and CBs could be solved if the mfgrs would use QUALITY COMPONENTS. The early UNIDEN exports ( Cobra 148GTL-dx, Superstar 360fm, Pres Jackson, etc.), were great performers ... well built and stable. Circuit redesigns to cut costs, and junk components ruined everything. Personally, I think President is the only mfgr making decent CB/export equipment now-a-days.
I wish that the market was there for UNIDEN to intro a new export base and mobile. But, like you said ... "wishful thinking, though."
