Ol' Mr Mike wanted to soak my ass for $300.00 once for working on my Johnson 4740.. I said no way and he did lower the bill to $180.00 but holy hell that's the MOST i have EVER had to pay for a repair bill on ANY CB radios that i have owned in all my 30+ year... I'll never send another radio to...

Anyone know much about this guy? He has a lot of videos on radio repairs. Just wondering...

Him and i used to email back and forth. Last time i talked to him (last summer or so) he said he wasn't doing to well health wise.. Hes a very nice fella and both of us are radio collectors..

God luck having anyone work on it was it uses a DSB and thats like kryptonite to most techs. The ones here will either tell you to take it back home or sit on it for months on end making up excuses to not work on it...

I had one once and it was great!!! Talked all over the place on that radio.

I just got a LNIB RCI 2995DX and the power seems to be set low. On AM it keys up 30 but only swings to about 75 and on SSB im lucky if i see 80... I see others post that they get more but mine seems to be a dog...

I have a Robyn that my friend gave me (said get it out of here or tis going into the trash) that is dead. The channel readout is dark and no TX/RX. Any ideas as the radio is not in bad shape and i'd rather not scrap it.

"you cant wire a 4 wire mic to a 6 pin radio!"

One of my facebook friends posted that Jo Gunn is no longer in business. I looked and it looks like their website is gone. Anybody else know anything?

Please stay off the dope dude....

Huh?????? That made no sense...

I have two of them. Ones NOS and the other i got from a ham. The ham kept one and sold me one. The one he uses he rebuilt with heavier wire and he normally runs at least 1 KW into it on SSB with no issues on 10 meters. But like another poster said it doesn't like moisture and it will react...

Hello??

Nothing wrong with either antenna but please note that the P 500 will go up in SWRS when it rains or is damp out..

I found a couple of bases (no tops) big sticks laying along the fence i forgot i had. I put one up and used a Francis 96" antenna and got a OK swrs of 1.5 to 1.7 on all 40. Is this normal for this antenna?

Well those 23 CH SSB radios they made were junk... Low modulation low output.. crappy receive... I tossed mine into the trash can......

I wasn't talking about the radio, the amp!!!!

Yeah if he has a deep pocket.... He charged me almost 300.00 for working on a old Johnson CB.... That's the MOST i have ever had to pay for ANY CB radio i have ever owned.. I bitched a fit and he lowered it to $180.00 but ill never send him another radio again. He's good but i cant afford him...

Cleaned it all up and gave it a fresh coat of light blue paint. Looks like new and now has a 1.2 vswr

Ground mount put down as many rafiaks as you can. One of my ham buddy's runs a hustler 6 btv with 60 50' ground radials tacked to the ground. He works dx with np.
