I have about 100 of these great old mags and thought it would be cool to share them. I had to do some connect the dots for copyrights but I've now started scanning them in.

Hope people enjoy them as much as I did back in the day :)

Scanning takes a while but I should be adding more each month as I find time. ]]> General CB Services Discussion cbradiomagazine.com http://www.worldwidedx.com/general-cb-services-discussion/37213-s9-citizens-band-radio-magazine-archive-new-project.html http://www.worldwidedx.com/general-cb-services-discussion/37198-zetargi-bv-603-linear-amp.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:17:33 GMT I just got a Zetargi bv 603 linear amp off of E-bay does anybody have any manuals etc for this amp or any info at all would be great.

In my back yard, there are 5,000' mountains, cliffs, rocks, etc. Terrain is hell, even the best bubblepack GMRS will yield less than 1/4 mile range in some areas.

The lower frequency of 11m seems to penetrate the earth and rock, groundwave effect i believe. I might be mistaken, but it is fact there is one spot about 1/4 of a mile from the house, where the stream turns at the end of the holler, where
(1) a 2 watt, motorola gmrs radio's signal would not get out
and that.
(2) a very old Realistic TRC-211,(5 channel radio shack handheld with a centerloaded 4 foot telescopic antenna) using only 1 watt with antenna pulled half way out could be heard as crystal clear as AM gets.

And also, one night right after I set up my base station I got the idea i was gonna play radio with my wife and kids, and test the range of the TRC-211.
I got in my truck, drove down the path, all the way down the mountain to the blacktop, 5 miles to town and beyond. I got almost 10 miles of clear comm with a damn 1980s vintage handheld with the telescopic antenna hangin out the window of my truck. After about 10 miles I went over a small ridge and signal went from clear to barely audible to nothing in the next half a mile.
Before I am called a liar I will say I dont expect 10 miles of it, hell I was expecting it to maybe give me 2 miles. It was a clear night, my house is up on the ridge and the road is down the valley, thou at the time my antenna was about 30 feet lower than the ridge blocking line of site.

Did they just make better radios back then or was it the gigantic antenna that gives it damn near the capability of a mobile rig. (by the way, power output as stated in the user manual is 3.5 watts, half watt shy of FCC limit)

What kind of range could I expect from a high quality handheld with rubber duck?

The main point of it all is that in the wilderness cell phone dos not work, and I just need a way to call out. if I find myself up sh*t creek, the TRC could be a paddle. It also nice to call to postpone dinner or cancel dinner so my wife does not put me in the dog house for not being on time. ]]> General CB Services Discussion towerdog http://www.worldwidedx.com/general-cb-services-discussion/37161-citizens-band-radio-vs-gmrs-rugged-terrain-citizens-band-radio-wins.html http://www.worldwidedx.com/general-cb-services-discussion/37160-sideband-handheld-citizens-band-radio-10m-cherokeeah-100-spitfire454-titan-rpsy-201-anyone-owned-such.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:35:06 GMT Anyone out there own such a rig.

Sorry if they've been mentioned before. Radio bud mentioned them to me today. Never visited their site before.

Sell lots of stuff. They have the best prices on a FEW items. Other things are high....but some are pretty darn good. Like General Lees for $179 and RCI 2970N2 for $399. A few other good prices here and there. Worth adding to your look-see list when shopping around.
