    Handheld CB

    Best distance I ever got out of a CB handheld is a few miles, four or five at best and that was under ideal conditions at elevation. For short range 1-2 miles should be adequate anything further is dependent upon terrain. The primary issue is the limitation of a compact antenna.

    Which "High Power" radio

    It's hard to beat the 2970N2 for reliability and stability on SSB. Tried and tested design I've had one for over two years use it daily without a single issue. Punches through on SSB and AM audio isn't bad. Basic controls are easy to learn, much easier than menu driven systems currently seen in...

    Junk even commands high prices.

    Makes me want to clean out my boxes of non-functioning amateur and CB radios collected over the past thirty-years and slap them on eBay. It's amazing what some people will buy.

    "10 meter radios" suck

    The Kenwood TS-50S is an exceedingly nice radio and great performer I never figured out why Kenwood discontinued it's manufacture. It fulfilled a niche for compact, entry level radio free from keypads and multiple rows of buttons which is all the rage. Simple to operate with a unobtrusive...

    uniden bearcat 880

    One of the shortcomings of the Uniden 880 is the lack of tuning points within the radio, the only one's that I recall are for the squelch control, weather alert and meter functions.

    6lq6 Tube's

    I sure do last at one older pharmacy back in the 1960's - mid 1970's. Afterwards you still had plenty of smaller, independent TV repair shops offering a countless supply of replacements. Radio Shack and Lafayette Electronics back in it's heyday also had tube testers at most of their locations...

    Anyone like to comment on this radio Racal Javelin RC9125?

    Other than the seller is attempting to sell the item as NOS when it appears used from the exterior images. Know nothing about the unit, likewise virtually nothing worth mentioning comes up on a Google query.

    Hostess

    My brother-in-law is one of the laid off Hostess workers, after 25 years with the company he has nothing to show. He insists that the majority of the union workers at least here in central Florida wanted to approve a new contract with Hostess and it's subsidiaries, taking the cuts to preserve...

    New antenna from Sirio Gain-Master

    It's been over a year since I first purchased the Sirio Gain-Master and it's worked flawlessly. Other than it's power handling rating I don't have a complaint. I'm continually amazed how well the antenna performs noting there's undoubtedly better antennas on the market yet considering it's...

    Sears Roadtalker 934.38270700 question

    It's likely the squelch adjustment inside the radio was tinkered with if you can identify the component it should rectify the problem.
