    I've just was reading some info on these "secret" channels. What are they, and why did they get skipped? The artical says that they were pirate channels, and they list 22A and 22B. Basically these are skipped channels (10KHz spacing) but WHY!!

    Galaxy DX-2547 base

    the Galaxy DX-2547 base is a great looking radio. I would have bought one BUT... 1. not much power output, have to buy a amplifier 2. really overpriced, for 4 watts? If I was to buy one, it would have to be peaked and tuned.

    Exactly, just look at hand mics vs Base mics. It is the Truck drivers that keep the CB going.

    second best 5/8 base antennas

    I like the looks of that Palomar! The first 50 watts are the biggest watts you can buy. Also I noticed nobody mentioned the A-99, it is cheaper than a Imax.

    V-QUAD or 3 ELEMENT MAX. BEAM?
