Howdy Everybody!
Hey I have a question. Does anyone know who made the Sears Roadtalker radios back in the day?? I did a search, and found out that the boards may have been made by uniden, but what company actually put it all togeather?? Just curious.

I have mine hooked up to a modulator & it did a pretty good job talking to the "chicken haulers" LOL

Uniden made some, and I think Cybernet made some. I'm not sure if any other makers were used or not.

I think some were made by SBE.I know SBE made some of the Sears scanners and Sears also sold a HF communications receiver made by Yaesu with the the Sears name.

Thanks for the info everyone. It is appreciated!

I just got one of these given to me buy my dad. In the box brand new , with manuals but I dont know how to even hook it up in my jeep. What do I need.?Will it perform? Im in california, I think theres some kind of max amp law so how many amps or volts or whatever power does it put out?Id really appreciate any help. So thanks in advance.

Great old radio! A classic CB - if there ever was one!

Just get a great antenna for your Jeep - like a 102" stainless steel whip & ball mount, a 12 ft piece of coax. Wiring to you vehicle is easy. Red wire goes to the "+" on the battery; and the black wire goes to the "-" of the battery.

You will need to take it all to a CB shop near your area - usually around major truck stop ares for final adjustments. Unless you have a friend close by that is savvy with CB's - then take it to him. If you live near San Jose CA - I'd help you out...
