Hmmm, where might that be found?

This one is in Ontario. I will see if I can post a link.
It’s posted on kijiji Canada. I talked to the guy because I am also in Canada.
If I can help I will!

Put the HAM RADIO, JR. against it:

PRESIDENT LINCOLN II.

The boops and beeps of robots singing endless work-assignment confirmations back to the asteroid belt mining stations. (Syncopated noises in three chords).

Those who took The Jab need maybe a booster or two that the graphene oxide assembles itself as circuitry under 5G radiation in order to join that chorale.

Sing the (new) song of my (new) people.

(“Gate Seventeen now boarding for Ganymede”).


A radio in a class of its own. Really.

.

Yes, I have heard good reports about the Lincoln II (also available locally for me) but it can't be the only radio!
Everybody needs at least one classic looking CB (for the addicts it will be more than one, of course). There is something about having all the knobs and the classic vintage look... .

So that must mean the mic jack would stay on the left!

When it’s a minimum 22-hour drive to get a maximum 42,536-lb, -10F frozen load about 1,350-miles in 33-hours in the eastern USA with an 0330 start, only one radio will do.

In easier terms, all these years of truck-driving, and this was the radio performance I’d wanted all along.

But first I had to learn how to build ALL THE REST that it worked within. (Seems expensive to do that “right”. Not once it’s working!).


Side Mic: the hero’s journey.

Looks like those bright blue lights would be no good for night driving.

They’ll turn down quite far on most radios (no lights extraneous to basics are a good thing at night). That’s a daylight photo with sun blocked. Trying for clarity


And, on the GALAXY DX-959b as mentioned in a post above, click on the dimmer and all lamps except TX extinguish. (See pic: “Push Display”)

The lights will dim a tad lower than my phone charger....it's not hard on the eyes at all.

I was just wondering because blue lights are the worst for night vision.

Agreed. Bad, period.

And I doubt it can be changed reasonably.
