I will comment that for the longest time I had a constant buzzing interference, made no sense, but all channels, worse on lower to mid band. I was outside looking at lights. Thinking about near by construction. Turns out it was a cheap 7.99 power strip with three USB ports to charge phone...

I always a fan of the the answer to park a 1978 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, or Suburban in your back yard, setup on cinder blocks. Put a Wilson, Siro, or Tram big mag mount antenna on the roof. 9 foot whip to the big chrome bumper. Drill the old ball mount in center of the roof. Run some good...

I agree 7 miles. Testing a stock radio after leaving Bob's CB on I-80 headed toward Clarion, PA straight out Interstate. Radio can do 7 miles to his Base antennas.

Anyone of our friends stuck in the hurricane damage zone. We are all praying for recovery for all friends and family. My understanding is this is the worst natural disaster in US in that I can recall in my lifetime.

10-4, Sounds like a good day to watch Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit on VHS.

Bob will still do repairs, no base radios. He has a waiting list- you drop off the radio and he will get to it in line. He will do simple repairs and tunes while you wait. Dave in Carlisle, PA- DTB will do drop off repairs. I do not think he will do mail in anymore. Cobra CB Shop in...

Last week I was at the Rinky Dink Indoor Flea Market in Marietta, Ohio. It is a clean operation, I think at old Hills Store. The point is as you walk in the front and go to the back left hand corner the husband and wife sell random elderly electronics. He has a Cobra 2000, one speaker, with...

Glad they did not boobytrap CB Radios. We can start the rumor that any radio with the mod limiter cut or removed should be turned over to a radio professional for proper disposal.

When they are running right the old Saturns rock and roll. We had a local lady who would talk every night on a Saturn and she really sounded well, like TV audio. That's back when everyone ran an IMAX and about 8 people around town still talked in evenings and smoked cigarettes, opened up the...

Looks like he is doing experiments with the long forgotten Super Whack Pack.

Sometimes a shitty day can look up by reading people helping one another. TY

When I was in elementary school I still think more kids had the Roger Staubach player shirt than Bradshaw and I grew up just south of Pittsburgh, PA. Eventually everything you love gets ruined lately. Just waiting for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders to field a lady that looks like Mario, from...

Yes, sir. Ran for over 10 years. the Radio Shack's finest. My wife would ask, why is there a big jack in the yard now? 11.95 back when Mullets were all the rage. We lived in a rural area on a hilltop. Would still be using it, but lost it with the house to the ex-wife. 15 feet up in the air...

I mentioned this all before. I am still using the Bob's CB RV mount. Only about 15 feet in the air off the side of the shed with EMT conduit and a 4X4. Two 7 foot Firstik for a 1/4 wave bent Dipole. Bottom leg at 30 Degrees. Being working fine. Not a big stick. Cheap, been holding up to...

Big Brother is listening.

Loosecannon and Nomadradio explained best. If you appreciate them then enjoy then keep them. If you need to strip for parts and you have them available then do it. I enjoy the old radios mainly, because of a lot of memories for family and friends. I've given away a few old Midlands that I...

A good friend rocked the Bengal back in the early 1980's His best Bengal story is a skip contact- accidental Channel 9 request via skip from Alaska to Pittsburgh area asking for a local sheriff to be called. I have a Pearce Simpson Pussycat- the entry base station. Can only say good things...

Public Service Announcement. These 39 inch no ground plane antennas make very quiet receive only VHF High band/ VHF low band scanner antennas. After concluded a coat hanger and tin foil would be more useful as a CB antenna- I repurposed my Saturn and the coax it needed to tune to a SWR...

I actually thought the skip was being jammed out by the nationwide army of New Mexico Winnebago worshipers. I was worried I would have to buy a new Stryker and get the Chinese caps redone with Vietnamese caps to cut through the jamming.

Big price different than Bob CBs Top Gun QUAD 5. TY, Appreciated
