Here are the links, but, (spoiler), I think it's one of best CB radios to come out since the McKinley:

I believe AES closed down in 2016. But more to the point, when I first became interested in ham radio (late 70's, early 80's) their catalog was one of the best, with plenty of pages of eye candy, along the lines of the Sears Wish Book. Having been into CB radio since 1968 I'd find one or 2 pages...
COURIER GLADIATOR: One of the biggest darn mobile radios I've ever owned (solid-state :sneaky:) This one, and the other B&W shot's were for a project I was working on back in the '90's
The Regency Imperials were well-made rigs, but I never quite understood DSB until years later. The Palomar...
Sometimes I like to thumb through old electronics magazines for nostalgia, and this one had quite a bit of stuffed geared towards radio so....here's the scans (2 images and the PDF for everything else)
In an earlier review of the P-Loop 2.0 I wrote:
"Living in an HOA stronghold I've tried several ways to have clandestine outdoor antennas :sneaky:, but they were spotted by HOA observers with binoculars so I tried some indoor wire antennas. Last year I took the plunge and bought the P-Loop...
I thought I'd post this for anyone contemplating a purchase of the Ye-Old Turner Plus 2 Hand Mic. These were as popular as the desktop version for over 10 years, but when buying one on Ebay you should take the precaution to ask the buyer if they have opened it up to check for a cruddy battery...
So the Super Sidekick had several versions of the pcb inside, but does anyone know what the difference was between the Sidekick 100 (non-super) and the Super Sidekick? Same cartridge and internal pcb? TIA - Woody
I'm beginning to thin the herd of radios I don't use, and this is one. Price is $145 shipped with stock microphone, or, $155 shipped with an Astatic 636L (and the stock mic and pwr cord). Paypal (yes) I'll be uploading a brief video on it this afternoon. Cheers!
Living in an HOA stronghold I've tried several ways to have clandestine outdoor antennas :sneaky:, but they were spotted by HOA observers with binoculars so I tried some indoor wire antennas. Last year I took the plunge and bought the P-Loop 2.0.
In about 6 weeks I will have been using this...
I wanted to share my wow moment with you - P
Periodically I look at Ebay auctions that are selling CB QSL cards in hopes of finding mine from the late 60's (no. this doesn't end with that).
Yesterday thought I'd try Google and did an image search for CB QSL cards from Connecticut and low and...
I ran across an old Citronics catalog from 1968. As you can see, it's crudely made, but at least it has pictures (I bought from a distributor in Boston around that time and they only supplied 6 typewritten sheets of paper). I scanned some of the interesting parts...
Growing up with CB in the late 60's/early 70's I had a plethora of magazines and catalogs (i.e. -"wish" books) to choose from, the most popular wish books being the ones from Echo and Henshaws. I spent a lot of time looking at these, as well as memorizing radio specifications from various yearly...
