Real CB Radios are side mic

SlowMover this is primarily all your fault along with Eldorado and SlimShadyMechanic that I’m now considering a DX959b as I don’t have one. I’m torn between this radio or adding a second DX98VHP…this is for use at home. Space requirements not a consideration as I have plenty of room.

Hey SlimShady…how close are you to having as many radios as chainsaws now?

Whispering voice eh? Sounds more like SlowMover barreling up my rear end telling me to get out of the way…EZ their GearJammer. He’s talking so loud no radio needed to hear him cursing that 4 wheeler in front of him.

Failure to Merge Correctly
will cause that.

(Legally, need a football field in distance. 300/ft-plus. Can’t cause ROW holder to hit brakes or to force him from lane).

When a NATHAN Air Chime is found desirable.

Today, I run a side mic Galaxy . . and other men wish for a drink on hearing it and considering the shortcomings of their own rig (ha!)

Comparing Apples to Oranges - they're both fruit...

Comparing Side Mic to Front Mic - Shows you they don't care about Radio Controls properly laid out.

There are big construction and layout differences - so they could put it in a cubby.

They had to sacrifice some to save Face with the rest of it.

Now,...

When in doubt, buy both. That's what I do.

Great radio won’t equal great performance. As with wheeled vehicles, experience, motivation & skill work together. CB is entry-level.

Use (maybe, desired information) is the toughest nut to crack. Any radio description.

The general uselessness of handguns is similar. The arguments about which design or brand are stupid-funny. (Center-fire .30-cal military rifles are what matter as the GP tool).

Side Mic Galaxy . . .
there’s naught “better”.

What CB can do is a great thing. But it won’t span a county, much less a state. Artillery (or naval gunnery) is Queen of the Battlefield.

Side Mic Galaxy . . best radio gateway drug.

CB = “pew-pew”.
Eleven Meter Badass = “ready to move up”.

First things first…I’ll take oranges over apples. Secondly .30 cal center fired rifles were/are a game changer in the field or woods. Third, nothing like 16 inch guns on an Iowa Class Battle Ship.

I can use my Side Mic Galaxy to warn you they’re incoming and you’ll hear me as you bend over and kiss your arse goodbye.

I agree with Handy Andy who incidentally sits in his recliner all day drawing on his wealth of knowledge/experience to answer technical questions while at the same time engaging in this thread with his wit/humor …where was I…oh yes front Mics get in the way of functionality on most radios…except the Lincoln.
