I would love to reclaim 16 lower side. I have three really good side band 23 channel radios one is a Johnson 352 that I put brand new for like $340 or something like that and I have two Lafayette side band radio they don’t work as good as the Johnson but the Johnson here is really good talks...

There’s a few companies that make frequency counters that aren’t a lot of money that work off 12 V do you just use a power supply to operate run at your house and see what the frequencies are they’re all different. There’s a lot of different mods and some guys just put crystals in them or did a...

Well, if you lived over here on the East Coast in the New York suburban area, you can hear a whole bunch of European people, and Texas and Oklahoma anytime I turn the radio on at certain times of the day. They’re always there. Sorry that you’re in an area, it’s kind of dead. I can understand...
