When it's upside down like that, does it work on the lower channels? J/K- looks to be a nice find. For $5 you can't go wrong.

If you can find one that isn't all hacked up and has a million miles on it, get a 29 XLR. Built the way they should be, easily modifiable thanks to the 858 chip and dependable as a sunrise.

Kingman Arizona to Capetown SA. 9751 miles according to Google

When conditions are right and the frequency is quiet, you can talk a long way on just a little power. I pulled down my little JC Penny 23 Channel mobile the other day and hooked it up just for fun... was having a nice little barefoot chat with a guy on 19- then he tells me he's in Florida. I'm...

I might be in the minority here but I'm really enjoying the quietude. It's making local daytime communication possible. And I am rather enjoying the fact that despite all the power, all the beams and everything else that the big boys have, mother nature has decided that they just aren't gonna...

That is a TX-800. Not sure who made them but it was rumored to have come from the remnants of the original Palomar. IIRC there should be a second board in there, also a 1X4 combo effectively making it a 2x8 Damn fine amp- one of the best I've ever owned (and have always regretted selling). In...

Why? Why add extra noise? You want to sound special? Put out a good, clean, loud and clear signal. THAT will get you noticed. I hear crap like that OTA and I change the channel or just shut it off.

D&A stood for Delany and Adams AFAIK. Delany was a ham operator who went rogue and started building CB amps, or so I'm told. Adams, I believe was actually a woman- not sure if it was his wife or girlfriend or how she figured into the operation. Delany was hounded by the FCC almost from the...

I have one. It's not in the best of shape as seen in the photos but still works quite well. Would like to find an original replacement cord for it.

Here's the manual and schematic: http://www.cbtricks.com/Amp/hygain/afterburner_plus_482/graphics/afterburner-plus_482.pdf Just a guess, but maybe the keying transistor has gone out?

Actually no, we don't . At least I don't. I've wondered for decades how in the hell these boys afford this stuff because from listening to them I'm not detecting a high degree of intellect that would likely preclude a high-paying occupation, or any occupation for that matter. I've called...

Not to be a Don Downer here but the Plus series is kind of the Ford Mustang II of the Cobra line. Neither model was especially good and remains a dark spot on the companies history. I do know that the Mustang II was so bad that Ford won't even acknowledge that they ever made it. Go to any...

Could be a Scout or one of it's derivatives.

I have never heard anything positive about a Melaka.

I am a frequent shopper at all five of my local Goodwill stores.. I NEVER see anything like this. Best I've ever done is a small mobile amplifier for 5$... it needed a keying transistor.

Complete, udder nonsense.

Never was a pinner -but thought about doing it. Never got pinned although I'm sure some may have wanted to do that to me - it's why I always ran my coax through some conduit before it entered the house- can't be too careful you know! Locally we have a joker known as 'The Preacher'. He likes...

Realistic TRC 30 (not a 30A!) and the quarter-wave ground plane base antenna. Took me all summer working 2 paper routes to save up the money for it. Signed on as KYR-4486 on Sept. 13 1975. Been OTA ever since.

Update: Sent the radio to the one and only Greg Barkett and he had it fixed up even better than it already was in no time at all! VFO now has full-range operation AND is steady as a rock! The man is truly the Tram / Browning master!

I've seen a few of these through the years. Of course it's not a 'real' Cobra - that is I'm quite certain it's a ripoff of the Cobra name. Never got to look inside one but I would imagine it's on par with many of the amps built around that time. But for $450? No. Pretty sure they didn't sell...
