A nice used ICOM IC-207H Dualband.

Cheap CB For Car Look around ebay, and usually within a month or two you should be able to pickup a used Uniden PC-122XL for about $40. You get AM and SSB

If you're buying: Pick up a used Teaberry 202, or Cobra 142 instead. If you're selling: $75 (on Ebay) or wait awhile because it's a "Buyers Market" right now and stuff is selling lower than normal. Personal experience: I owned one for awhile but it's size was an immediate turn-off (I like...

Fav CB STONER PRO 40[/b]

Look for a used Sony DCR-TRV950. I bought a couple of them when they were $1600 ea. The biggest reason to buy it is because it's a 3CCD unit (most are 1CCD), so you get a much better picture and nice saturated colors. Other reasons: While it records in stereo, it has some nice accessories...

This may be an easy one, but on transmit when you key on AM it immediately goes to an ERR 4. On SSB it takes strong audio to get that same error. Don't have a manual, I'm guessing SWR?? But the rig before that didn't have any issues (not to say something couldn't have changed). I'll get around...

Tnx! They have a nice package deal on the Heil PR40 but I've never heard of 'em. Regards, Woody

Just curious if anyone has purchased anything from http://www.cheapham.com ? Tnx Woody

Insurance Thanks for the info Skipshooter! I usually don't keep (or rather, keep-track-of-where-i-put-it) the receipts. Woody

Okay, but I'll still keep my eyes open should the XYL's of America align thereselves with SPECTRE, or even worse - "THRUSH" (I shudder to think of that partnership). In the meantime, I put in a call to the ARRL "Special OPs" division and they're coming your way. They were very interested in my...

Photoshop Photo? It goes against the grain having a neat and tidy shack...in fact, it looks TOO neat and tidy. Could this be an XYL posting the photo after she went into photoshop and got rid of the mess that most shacks are in?? Perhaps it's a clandestine group of XYL's from coast-to-coast and...

An AM/SSB Base Radio would be a good choice. But there is a subset to that choice - Do you buy an Approved by FCC CB, or do you risk it and buy and export? My two cents: go with the approved by FCC CB (at least for your first Base) Re: Power Supply. If it's really a base station it will have...

Did you do an "Eyeball" inspection inside the rig, checking for blown capacitors, burned resistors, or other suspicious looking components in that area?

re: antenna No pics, but about 40 years ago I lost a huge Hygain "Long John" 5 element 11m beam in an ice storm. Woody

They both have their qualities. Guess that's why I have an 850 and a FT-101
