My Favorite CBs were my Browning Golden Eagle MK IV, my DAK X, & my Tram D201. My Favorite CB mobile radios were the Radio Shack TRC-449, Cobra 148 GTL (Side Microphone made in the Philippines) & a Browning 40 channel with USB/LSB or a TRAM 40 channel with USB/LSB. Sold them all & moved on to...

Hamrepair.com is in Texas & a great guy with great rates. Look him up & you won't be sorry.

I just operate from my Picnic Table in my backyard on our patio, so I say I'm PTOTA. I'm the Only person that has Ever operated from it so it's Very RARE. LOL

They have a Layaway plan as well. Being a funeral Director is a Dying Profession. Man with the plan last friend to let you down.

That's a great bunch of guys on that list & some are BIG DAWGS on The Magic Band. I live about 40 miles or so from LEE-kZ4RR & of all things we originally met in person at Hamvention in 2013. We traveled a long way to actually meet each other. LOL I don't plan to attend Hamvention again, but it...

As I recall all of the records were all lost in a fire long ago & they were on Micro Film. Heard it from a guy who was an Agent for the FCC long ago. Don't know if it's true but it really does not matter since I remember my call but it's useless today.

A BIG THANKS for the help. I see that the wires are for 12 volts of DC Power. I was told the tuner received it's needed power thru the Coax but that's obviously Not true for this model.

My Best friend gave me a MOTOROLA F2259A Remote Antenna Tuner last night but I can't find a manual online for it? I find many others but nothing for this tuner? Anyone have any information on this tuner or know where I might find any? Thanks in advance & God Bless. de W4KVW

But they are actually making a contact & Not Screaming, Playing a stereo, Cussing somebody out, Playing with noise toys & other crap. Not even the same at all.

Lots of choices. Google QRP Amateur Radio Amplifiers.

Buy a Legal Amateur Amplifier with filtering built into the amplifier. CB Amplifiers are DIRTY & Splatter across the bands including 6 meters. Leave the 11 meter garbage on 11 meters where nobody cares about splatter or noise.

65 years young in a couple of days. Been playing radio since 1965. DX is in my Blood outside of North America.

I have seen what one hail storm does to a bunch of solar panels & you don't get any warnings ahead of time so you can try & protect them. Very expensive to repair as well. It does not matter what we use they will all fail sooner or later just like we will. Don't stress over the stuff we can't...

Most Lithium batteries require a Lithium charger. My Bioenno came with a charger & the information says not to use a regular battery charger.

What microphone are you trying to purchase from ICOM?
