Its a whole new world to me lol I have a few old police scanners from the crystal days as long as a few mobile and handhelds with crystal but Im shooting from the hip here
Just kidding lol . I haven't spoken to you much but I'm the first to admit I know next to nothing compared to most of you guys . I was born the year my HW-101 was built , I can tune a Connex or a Cobra 29(not professionally) but I'm just getting my feet wet with this gear ! I own some really nice "10 meter" tube amps and a few tube radios but I have only replaced tubes , sockets and coax in them . Its probably going to be boring for most of you guys but Im reading a whole bunch of stuff and taking it 1 step at a time ! In the interest of full disclosure I DO NOT have a Ham ticket (obviously) I do however respect most Hams and what they do . I have a bunch of locals on 10 meters with tickets and I have never even keyed on the ham bands (well upper and lower extras ) but I'm not a dick about it and I am sure some day I will get my ticket . Last time I was going to get it you still needed to know Morse code and I just did not want to be bothered . I still have a ton of fun DX'ing on 11meters so until I get bored the CB will keep me entertained !
We have a long ride ahead , who is coming with me lol . If this is too rudimentary or basic for most people I understand but I think I have met enough really nice people here that I think I will get things rocking and rolling ! 
I have added channels to radios but have never once soldered a crystal I just jumped pins to switches and like magic I'm 40 up and 40 down (that doesn't mean I understand how said magic happens ) lol . If you think I'm getting in too deep here I understand (it probably wont stop me but I certainly understand ) besides using a usb programing cable and a digital display just isn't fun anymore
lots of goodies in the Chinook shop)
