In the olden days, you could look forward to a yearly CB version of consumer reports, which listed manufacturer specs, along with the test results their labs came up with, and then rated them. Too bad there isn't something like that or for that matter a CB version of "E-HAM" reviews. It would...

I owned one for awhile. Nothing special. Looks better in a photo than it does on the desk.

Yep, Diamonds rule the roost here too....although an occasional Yaesu meter creeps in, now-and-then

You must be in a BIG city. My FT-530 doesn't have much intermod here in Houston.

Given that you mentioned a cash flow issue, and, considering that you're not sure if you'd like AM or not, I'd suggest picking up a used Uniden PC-122 or PC-122XL. I think you can get them on Ebay for around $40-$60, and, if you don't like SSB, you can sell it and not lose any money (as opposed...

Tnx! I'm in the "butt-sling" test trial group as I ...ouch...type. Woody

As described $300-$500, but that doesn't mean you won't stumble across one for $50 in same condition at a garage sale either.

The Pro Niner's are fairly frequent flyers on Ebay, but the other 3 you don't see that often, especially the 880.

Well, when the Galaxy Saturn came out in the mid/late 70's is was different than all the other rigs on the market, but then it seems like every new base (with few exceptions) that have been cranked out since then have the same rack-mount look. After about 30 years I think it's time for diversity.

I mistyped, it had a digital frequency readout. His pictures were terrible (from his cell phone no less), but here's a link to a fuzzy picture: http://cbdaze.blogspot.com/2006/02/do-we-really-need-small-er.html

Hi Jeff, they don't pop up too frequently.....but did you see the modified 2340 on Ebay, in the last month with a digital channel readout? That was pretty cool! -TSG

Indeed, some rigs will have issues down the road, and for the most part I have been fortunate that my main rig's (Cobra 2000, RS TRC-457, StalkerXX,and Robyn SB-520) are still kicking, but you'll always have to consider that when buying used. At least the Galaxy DX 2547 isn't the typical...

Carl's 142 is a good suggestion, and if you want something with a frequency counter in it, a used Cobra 2000 would make ya happy.

Bush, Cheney wage verbal war with Democrats By Deb RiechmannASSOCIATED PRESSINDIANAPOLIS - President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney launched a one-two political punch Friday against Democrats, saying they are ill-equipped to handle the economic recovery or the war on terror. Cheney...

I periodically come out with what I think are the most rare of CB's, and Ebay is usually a pretty good "meter", but then ya never know. A CB may come up for auction that you haven't seen in years - if at all and fetch a huge price, and then for months after that Ebay is deluged with auctions for...

Glad they've seen the light on at least one model. I was looking at a couple last fall and they still listed nicads.

Your right....I see 'em every day on Ebay and would rather buy one of those over just about anything new in the CB/Export world. They work better, they aren't cosmetic clones (for the most part), and you can actually get in there with a soldering iron to replace a part. Back to the cosmetics - I...

So by changing microphones, the static you hear on receive gets better?? Doesn't sound normal to me. It could be a connection in the 636L microphone plug that is causing it though. Have you tried re-soldering it?

I can't tell ya how many friends I've got that love "RCI" or love "Galaxy" and it seems like whenever I talk with them, the last "new" one is in the shop, so they went out and bought another....Lemmings
