Loving my XL, the only menu I have is what knobs/ switch does what... 3 switches have been modified to do other than what is listed on the faceplate.

I'll stick with power switch and knobs on my welders...

Very doubtful. Seems like most of the new mobile radios have menu buttons, and 2 maybe 3 knows. IMO, driver unfriendly. I much prefer the knobs on my Grant XL to a menu button that one has to read to adjust things.

Shit, recap, and align it and keep it going in that truck...

I'd happily talk to them boys up there, I just can't quite get to 0. My clarifier doesn't go that far...

Even dialing into 41-44 there is still quite a bit of traffic there. I do think it would be nice if the guys on 38 would just use it as a call channel then take it to another channel... I enjoy going to .555 and sandbagging. Guys there will show up, call a few times and state what frequency they...

I don't bother selling anything there, I do look, and occasionally buy something. I have been looking for one of those black face Uniden Grant XL for years. I've seen only one on fleabay, and it was at a time when I didn't have the extra funds to drop on it.

There is one there that has a $300 price tag, it's been there 9+ months. There are 3 others with extras, that don't look so bad, yet have blessed meter lights, one has multiple different colors, all from the same guy. No idea if they've been recapped or just modded. Minimum is about $150. Then...

I like this idea. Might have to look into this for other grant xl I have.

Have you checked fleabay prices on Grant XL lately?? Seen more than a few going for $300+. With shitty blue meter lights and bad mod installations.

Seeing all these posts about noisy rx, and crappy TX audio in these newer radios that cost so much, I'm very happy that I haven't jumped in with the crowd, and that I've kept my Grant XL.

Sounds like a bad dummy load..

Friends decided that our little group needed numbers for cb. The picked the little series, and then their own; I got what was left as I wasn't present for that meeting. They started at 169, the guy who pushed this, took that one. The others picked their numbers 269, 369, 469. Out of the group, I...

I like the meter, the red channel display and white frequency counter actually works for me. The frequency counter draws my eye to it, letting me know what frequency the radio is on without looking at the channel display and band selector. The radio itself isn't bad looking, personally I'd...

I have a few forums I am on. Almost all of the forums I'm on are great, people doing their best to come together and fix a problem someone else is having. Or someone parts with something another member needs/ wants/ will use. Only one of my forums has an issue with the occasional argument, they...
