Yes. He's gonna try to start rebuilding that section this weekend.

Whoa! A CPI rig! Very cool... very rare! Well gee I had one HR2510 some years back... ;-) looks like you got a nice collection there!

Monte, a nice car! I had a 1984... lasted until 1994 and then sold it to a friend who drove it another 4 years. I managed to "mount" my DX959 vertically, up against the console, just in front of the drivers seat. I will take a pic and post it in a day or two (don't have the radio in the car...

That's a good job, Mongoose. You didn't say what kind of car it is but looks typical of just about anything us "normal" middle class can afford (I guess a Lincoln or Caddy has a bigger interior...??) My little Malibu can barely shoehorn in a Galaxy DX959. I had my Cobra 200GTL-DX mounted...

Yeah, I had one too, what a great little antenna. I'm pretty sure I came across some plans to make one, somewhere on the net. It ain't all that easy, from what I recall, but it can be done. 600 clams? Is he well? Even 450 is wayyy overpriced. I bet he could get 150 bucks for it, from an...

As a side note, I am sure you all will enjoy this ancient (1993) Letterman clip of a 6 year old female ham... it's simply hilarious. Letterman clowning around, it's obvious the little girl is getting annoyed with him. YouTube - Letterman - Ham-Radio Operator Veronica Harrington [Circa 1993]

I got my Cobra 200GTL-DX from them, asked them what revision the board was, the assured me it was the latest, and based on the serial numbers, they're right... version 3... radio hasn't given me any trouble. At the time I decided to buy it, they were one of the few dealers that had one left...

Let me add to this, I JUST received one yesterday that I won on auction on ebay, eagerly hooked it up and... no lights, no display!! And no sound!! (Squelch was turned up... who uses squelch anyway!) Fiddled around with it in panic mode (no instruction manual came with it) for 5 minutes...

Hey, I had one too! We can almost start a "past owners of the Midland 79-290" club. :tongue: I recall mine was noisy too. Only ran it mobile and only kept it for a few months. Just too noisy, since most of my ragchewin' was fairly distant ground wave SSB bases (friends of mine) who tended...

For what you described, your best bet upon getting your ticket is a 2 meter handie. These should be reasonably priced and you can even snag some used handies on ebay very inexpensively. When you're dirt biking, simplex will work great. You'll also want to find out the local repeaters and...
