    Long Time Lurker Looking to Get Back Into CB

    Ahh ok. Sounds like the CRT is the way to go as it will offer more expansion. I do plan to get a license for HAM. For the CB/SSB, from what I could gather, they are comparable in terms of sound, receive, power, features, etc correct? I will hit up Scotts again this week and see if he has any...

    Long Time Lurker Looking to Get Back Into CB

    Been researching more and believe I have decided on the Anytone-6666 or the CRT-SS 9900. From what I gather these are essentially the same but the CRT has a bit more features for the HAM side of things?

    I called Scott at Scotts radio and he had a few other recommendations that he really liked. So I have been looking into those I did have a question for you guys about pairing the radio up properly to the antenna. Is there a meter you would recommend to use or is the built in unit the radio has...

    Thanks guys. I think I am going to call Scotts radios tomorrow about the General Lee and the Anytone 6666/5555. Should I go for one over the other or whichever he has in stock and can tune? If he has any of the antennas I am interested in I will get them from him as well. K30, Wilson 1000 and...

    Ok for SSB I think I have it down to the President McKinley, Uniden 980, the Anytone AT-6666, President Lincoln II+. Would prefer a more old school design but it looks like those radios arent being produced anymore. Like the Galaxy 979 Can any of those radios be modded or are they pretty much...

    Right now I have the General Lee with tune up at Scotts Radios in my cart with his alignment and conversion add on. I presume that is the same as the Peak and Tune others offer? Still shopping around for a Cobra 29. Would really like a Nightwatch version but most everyone does not have any...

    Nice! Awesome thanks guys. Would you recommend something different than the General Lee? Is there a better option in that price range? Would there be a better option than the Cobra 29? I am open to any and all suggestions. I like the General Lee just for the price point and a lot of positive...

    Thanks for the heads up I may hit up Scotts Radios for the General Lee and would you recommend getting the radio Peaked and Tuned him/reputable place? I dont really have anything near me other than some smaller truck stops. I would have to drive at least an hour 1 way to find a larger shop...

    Long Time Lurker Looking to Get Back Into CB

    Hello, It has been quite a long while since I logged on here. Several years ago the site went down and life moved on and I slowly found myself engaged in other things. However, I would now like to get back into CB/Ham radio. It has always interested me to see just how far you can talk on a...

    Cobra 29 LTDSE

    Just saw the new cobra 29 ltd se, it appears to be your basic ltd 29 but with black faceplate, chrome color and blue lights. Does anyone know if this has the same board as the regular 29 ltd?
