From what I can tell, & have been hearing, it will get better. This past week I have heard New Mexico, Texas, Florida, one station from New Zealand, & a station from Sao Paulo Brazil. Skip has been getting better lately, it does seem to be sporadic though. Last year at this time I didn't hear...

I'm out here on the left coast, most of the local dirt haulers in my area run on 17 am, a few run on 38 am, they say they just want to get away from most of the others & Spanish bleed over. Occasionally, if traffic is really bad someone will key up on 19 & ask about it. There are only a few of...

I had thought about the 148f, then went to check frequency counter. Saw it only went to 5th place not 6th.. So, I went to my personal preference. Grant Xl with 6 digit frequency counter. I know some people swear that a 148 is the BEST old school mobile radio. I just prefer the Grant Xl. I...

That is what I'm well on my way to. Already have the Xl, & small amp. Need to pick up frequency counter & upgrade the coax. Right now, I'm extremely happy with the set up, & the work done!

I know what you mean. I have two Grant Xls, I spent enough getting one then having recapped, aligned, & tuned to buy two 980s. Working on getting enough saved back up so I can send the other one out & have it worked on, & pick up two frequency counters to hardwire in.

Look into Uniden Grant Xl. Hardwire the frequency counter that RT431 posted a pic of. Then you have fcc type accepted & the frequency counter. I had one get away from me more than a few years ago & I'm sorry that it did.

I know more than a couple of guys who are running that 980. They all sound clean, no drift, put a good power Mic on it & they sound clean & loud. I've been a fan of Uniden since I picked up a Grant XL years ago. Running a Grant Xl now. If you can find one for the right price that isn't totally...

Hmmm, how about Uniden Grant Xl ( just kinda stuck on the look), ham quality, frequency counter, frequency capabilities 26.400-28.000, dual clarifier, remote head would be interesting.

Merry Christmas y'all!

I already have the smaller version of that lamp. Guess I need to find the d-104 lamp now...

Got a mobile? If so, what's the white noise on it?

I've been halfheartedly looking for wiring diagram to wire it up to my Grant xl. I've never been good @ looking at a Mic & figuring out the wiring.

Interesting, got any more info to share?

MMM is very laidback & mellow. Never gotten the chance to meet him, only briefly chat over the air with him as I was passing through his locale. Hear him more than a few times on the air as he does have quite a bit of power. Then again, so does BBI. Pretty sure it was him a few weeks back that...

Jesse, take a look at this site, you should be able to get quite a bit of knowledge about your TS. http://www.cbtricks.com/Amp/txstar/index.htm

Used to have a Cobra 2k many years ago, everyone always said it was a good clean sounding radio. It also had more extra channels than everyone else around me had, unless you had 10m export. Wishing I'd never let that one slip away.

At least the ones she drags in are dead!

Central coast, California. Mostly been hearing Oregon, Washington, & Arizona. That said I have also been hearing a little from New Mexico, a little from Texas, a few from Nevada, Hawaii, Idaho, & Wyoming.

That would be more of a problem on 27 lsb...

Uniden Grant Xl. Unknown abuse ... Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
