    Sams PhotoFacts Collection

    Dan - thanks for checking. Any recommendations on what to do when SAMS doesn't have a listing? Are there other sources other than SAMS that might have it?

    Sams PhotoFacts Collection

    Hi. I'm looking a parts layout, service manual and schematic for a SBE-16CB/T. This is the later model of the Console 2. Everything I'm finding online is the old model without the 'T'.

    SBE Console II Parts Layout / Schematic

    I'm looking a parts layout, service manual and schematic for a SBE-16CB/T. This is the later model of the Console 2. From what I can tell all the stuff available online is for the earlier model of the Console 2. I am comparing my radio to the diagram and I'm seeing some differences. I'd...

    Presidents " new" private channels.

    Isn't this what most 2 meter ham repeaters use? You need a tone to access the repeater.

    R&R communications

    I can confirm that they are closing. I was planning on getting my rig repaired there and they called me on Friday and gave me the news. Is there any other reputable shop in the Philly area???

    CB / HAM RADIO REPAIR NEW ENGLAND AREA

    Did you locate a repair shop? I am in the Philly area, and am looking for the same. Was going to use R&R in Delaware which has a good reputation, but just learned they were going out of business.

    ASTROPLANE best vertical antenna ever?

    I remember the Big Stick. Everyone had them back in the day. Seemed to be the Antron 99 of the 70s and 80s.

    TOMCAT'S CONFIDENTIAL REPORT/ CB UNDERCOVER! S9 Magazine October 1978

    HAHA. The best thing about that was the Avanti advertisement at the end. As a teenager, I remember wanting a PDL-2 so badly.

    WHO MANUFACTURED THE SBE SIDEBANDER II TRANSCEIVER.

    I recently purchased a new-old stock Console 2. Had the original paper work too. According to the paperwork, you could send the radio back to the factory for conversion to 40 channels. It cost $99 dollars back then, so not sure if anyone did it, as I've never seen one for sale which has this...

    Hit the Jackpot on Facebook Marketplace

    I had a 6247 as a kid. Modded for locked clarifier and extra channels. Worked well for 20 years, but was certainly not a power house. Even after being 'peaked' it barely made 10 watts even with a power mike. (On AM it actually put about 8-9 watts if you turned the pot up, but then it...

    Yaesu G-450ADC Rotator

    Not an antenna post, but related to antennas. I have a G-450 rotor that stopped working. I took it all apart and decided it was the electric motor itself inside the rotator housing that was bad. (All gears are fine). Contacted Yaesu and asked for a parts listing and they would not...
