what were the good older radios

[oldslowchevy]

Dont gess you have anymore of those 50 cent raido's laying around op:

lol nope, i was like 20 or so when i sold it, i really was not aware of what i had till years later.

it didn't work when i had it but it looked good for it's age. had it worked i would have ruined it so it is best that it sold i guess...... i should have asked a dollar for it.

i got it out of an old late 50s dodge panel van in a junk yard. if i can remember it was a heating and pumbing company out of the washington d.c. area. at the time i had a 65 dodge pick up truck.

oh well ive and learn.

Good Old radios

I have just slowly switched over to tube type base stations radios :
1-Sonar FS 2340 (40)
2- Regency Gain (23)
1- Gemtronics GTX 2300(23)
Use a real AB1 BASE amp from the 70's Yaesu FL 110 amp(115w) and alternate with a Ken Tron Pro Plus(150w) and they all work with with a non amplified TUG9 non amplified D 104

Mobile radios:
Browning LTD with Tx 75 amp
DX66V with Messenger M175 amp
