    90% of online receivers are a joke

    Remember fish bowl cameras or the Amazing Cow Cam. Most likely the SDRs are being setup by someone who is proud of the setup and has no real interest in people actually using their SDR for a practical purpose. Same thing with online police scanner setups.

    10 righteous people??

    I totally agree the impound company got a new TV and free air compressor. The A#$ Hats could have let you take your belongings without any problems. Especially your area. I hate to be negative too, sometimes It's best just to not have expectations of people, then you avoid disappointment. Do...

    Fine Tune Cobra 29

    Mark Sherman had mentioned he used to do Cobra 29s and Uniden 68s, but there is no money in CB radio repair and mods, so he's a strictly Stryker man. Does anyone recall Mark Sherman's work when he worked on CB radios repair and mods, echo boards, etc?

    Taking bets on where Fine Tune pops up next

    Mr. Sherman had mentioned he has truck driving experience. My new prediction is he's on the air while driving cab in Tijuana. He is taking tourists to the Famous TJ Donkey Shows. Fine Tune CB Radio will become urban legends like the Donkey Shows.

    WTH??

    I suspect if you open the case you may find evidence of modification origin, such as assorted bits of sand,from the plains of New Mexico desert, or the slight smell of Dawn Mild Radio Douche. Anyway thumbs up on orginality, I have always wanted to put a model PC motherboard and components inside...

    Why are mobile CB radios stuck in the 70s?

    Collecting 1970s CB Radios leads to serial buying. I am sure a lot of members here agree with me. Best example I have come to mind. Let's say I find a NIB Cobra 78X at a garage sale. I do not think- "This is a poor example of a quality Cobra CB for the 1970s." I do not think it's no Cobra...

    went to my last hamfest yesterday

    Sounds like the Hamfest went the way of some of the gun shows. I used to be that dealers brought the stuff that sat around the store for a while to get rid of what they could with pretty good deals. Now the dealers bring the whole store, but multiple the regular price X 3 because of the show...

    Thank you to forum members

    Everyone is a great bunch of guys here. I am going to date myself here. I migrated here from the Clown's forum which was rather unique in it was used to promote specific sponsors of the forum. It normally took a few months for a new member to figure that out and get banned from the forum. I...

    Tuning 102" Whip?

    If I missed the info on high power, then I apologize. I am willing to conclude, that if you are not running high power, if you are using good quality coax and have the mount installed correctly, and the SWR is obviously below 2.0, the 102-inch whip and spring will outperform the previous...

    Anyone hear this birdie on 27.341 lsb?

    Handy Andy, I am betting you can answer this question. It comes to mind because of the current Ukraine war happening. The Duga OTH Radar Array at Chernobyl was said to produce massive interference when powered up. I had watched a documentary on the Woodpecker. The signal was supposed to be...

    Windows liquor? Huh?

    Every once and a while I happen upon a bar like ForestRunner 98 was talking about. I would mention a guess that Windows Liquor would be like Bathtub Gin.

    Ammo Can Portable Radio

    Awesome, be prepared to start a new business venture for STAC or Shadetree Talking Ammo Cans. Great work my friend. I like the genuine 1985 Pontiac Grand Am cigarette Lighter. I would drive to Delaware to buy one.

    "idiot" blocking up ch 19.

    The number or operators in the SW Penna have fallen of a great deal in past 10 years. Mainly due to decline in health and people passing. At times I do miss someone hogging a channel. A case of beer was normally involved in the process. I always joke that Apple should have included a safety...
