    PACE CB166 INSTALLATION

    I believe it was a Antenna Specialist M-124 or a variant, hasn't been manufactured for many years. Best bet is eBay or flea market.

    Cobra 2000

    If you wish to retain the resale value of the 2000 keep it stock, a factory tune and your ready to go. I searched for months to find one that was nearly new or NOS condition, I placed it on the bench, checked all the caps, made minor adjustments to the output audio and left it alone. For 11M it...

    Westland 707 Cb

    The Westland 707 was made between 1981-1984 by Cybernet it was similar in appearance to the Lafayette AFS-640. It used a O2A chip which was common to the era the frequency coverage was 25.515-28.305 MHz. Decent radio for the time but had lousy receivers very prone to splash. Occasionally see...

    CB radio shops in NJ in the 70's 80's & 90's

    Are you referring to George Marklin of Mark Radio from Fords, he would have to be in his eighties today. There were so many CB shops back in the day; recall frequenting IEI at it's original location in Lawrence Harbor before relocating to Airport Plaza in Hazlet, another one in Colonia on Rt...

    Anyone use channel 16 SSB anymore?

    Fondly remember using LSB 16 all of the time, many of the nets the Fox-Tango, USA and Mid-Atlantic met frequently. You were quite lucky if you had a radio capable of dropping 5 or 10 KC for added privacy back in the seventies.

    Opinions: Just Purchased a Cobra 2000

    I plan on keeping the radio completely stock other than hooking it to the scope and adjusting the audio limiter. Radio operates flawlessly and is dead center on frequency, been receiving good audio/signal reports from nearby stations using the original stock mic. Just purchased a "like...

    Opinions: Just Purchased a Cobra 2000

    The seller contacted me earlier today asking if he could hand deliver the radio since we're around thirty minutes apart, sounded like a great plan so met him halfway. Nice 5-pin Cobra 2000 everything works, condition is pristine except for a scratch on the speakers trim otherwise perfect...

    Opinions: Just Purchased a Cobra 2000

    I may kick myself later but I just pulled the trigger and purchased a Cobra 2000 with matching speaker off fleaBay for $285 with "Buy it Now." I'm guessing the seller either didn't know it's potential value or I'll be getting a piece of junk. Listing was barely minutes old with $13 shipping...

    CB radio shops in NJ in the 70's 80's & 90's

    I believe the gentleman's name was George Marklin, he held a advanced class amateur license and encouraged me to get my novice ticket which I did back in the seventies, he even gave me my first practice key that I kept for years. I believe his son took over the business for a short while...

    CB radio shops in NJ in the 70's 80's & 90's

    By far the best radio tech it's ever been my pleasure to deal with was Mark Radio which was located in the basement of a private home in Fords, NJ. As a teenager in the early-mid seventies used to marvel at the Hallicrafter Cyclones and Comanches that we're popular at the time. He sold just...

    Need A Recommendation (meters)

    I've been very pleased with my Astatic meter, smooth needle movement it's illuminated and handles up to 5KW. I had a couple disappointing experiences using DOSY products.

    New antenna from Sirio Gain-Master

    Since I rarely use SSB, more of a ole' timey rag chewer on a local channel my comparison was made on AM mode using a stock Galaxy 2457, "75 LMR-400 coax with absolutely nothing in line between the radio and antenna. I simply unbolted my IMAX from the 10' mast I have on a eave mount bracket...

    New antenna from Sirio Gain-Master

    I've been following this thread with some interest since I recently switched from a IMAX 2000 to the Sirio Gain Master. Using identical equipment, coax and at the same antenna hight I immediately noticed a 1-2 S-unit improvement on receive with local stations that I talk to every day and a 1...
