Rarest cb / export you’ve owned

[SuperLid]

Never owned one but a friend had one back in the late 70's.
Any one remember the Digicom, believe it was made by Polamar.

I have 5 of them. They never fully worked...they were made by CPI.

Unimetrics Stingray 1. It was my first SSB radio. I have never seen another one or any trace of it's existence.

No doubt about it. Never did find a schematic for the thing. One batch got sold around here, and it was never seen for sale again.

Yea, I finally figured out the alignment procedure by following the paths from the VCO, PLL and transmit path. Turned out awesome.

VCO buffers maxed out,
VCO set as a 3600/3900,
Oscillators (all) according to standards,
Transmit section tuned for max swing,
Deadkeys set to my liking,
Replaced all caps,
Replaced a few resistors for audio around the mic amp,
New meter,
Swings around 28w peak, around 40w pep, bout 10w average forward,
Cleaned all switches and controls,
Replaced 2 variable resistors,
Applied the AMC Attack Time improvement on it,
Talked on it a few days and got great reports for a single final. Finally unhooked it and put it on the shelf for safe keeping. I use SSB a lot, and it doesn't have SSB, so I hooked my 949 Stryker Killer back up, been using it every since.
