    Interesting looking and nice price but I think I'll wait for the reviews to start coming in.

    Delta M2 Mic audio

    Ok at least I know it's not just my imagination. I get good reports on the audio too. Guess it's like waiting for the ping to finish on a Browning.

    Delta M2 Mic audio

    Just got a new Delta M2 mic and noticed the audio takes about 1/2 second to start after the push to talk button has been pushed. As long as you remember to wait just a bit the mic has good audio but if you don't wait you'll loose the first few words on your transmission. Any one else noticed...

    Check this old CB catalog out !

    Looking at what radio's sold for back then kind of makes the price of a new Stryker seem less expensive.

    Icom 7200

    I have a 7200, it's a tuff little radio that just works. Simple to operate and mine has survived many portable operation. Wish it was still in production. KU4MP

    What got you interested in radio?

    I got my hands on an old tube AM radio and would listen to the clear channel stations coming in at night, made me want to be a DJ. Back in the 60's I saw a FM transmitter kit in the Green stamp catalog, talked my grandmother out of enough books to get it. That's what got me started since the...

    Best Mobile Antenna 10 - 40 Meters

    Great find, had no idea anyone else was selling that antenna. After seeing that video I'll have to get off my butt and get mine installed and going.

    Anyone bought from gi-joes

    I've purchased several things from them, most times it's been in stock and they shipped it right out. Only had one thing that was back order but I knew that before I placed the order. They sent me out email's updating about the status.

    Best Mobile Antenna 10 - 40 Meters

    I ran ham sticks on 40, 20 & 10 and a original High Sierra screwdriver when I had my pickup, the ham sticks did just as well as the screwdriver as long as you didn't want to move around the band a lot. Have a Great Lakes 392 that I'm planning on trying on the car but haven't installed it yet so...

    Fire tower

    Back a few years ago the forestry service decommissioned a lot of the fire towers around here and rumor had it that they basically gave them away to some one that could take it down. I've always thought what a interesting shack one of those would have made.

    Any EchoLink users?

    Used to get on one of the repeaters back in WV where I lived for a while. It worked great and always got a comment from someone asking if I was in town so guess the audio quality was fine. It's interesting to pick a repeater some where in the world and just listen.

    Best 40 Chanel CB with SSB

    I had one of the newer 148's, voice warbled on SSB. Did OK on AM. Still have a 959, great AM rig, OK on SSB. Currently using a 980, rock steady on SSB, good receive, and nice features. Once you get rid of the beep it's the better of the 3 I've had.

    MyNew Uniden 980ssb craped out.

    Sorry to hear yours died so soon, new doesn't always mean it's going to be trouble free. I'm using one daily, got it right after they started selling them. Did the beep mode, unlocked the clarifier, cranked the dead key down and added a CR577 mic. Everyone says it's one of best sounding radio's...
