Thank you! Good to know I'm not alone. (y)

Well said, I totally agree(y).

Glad to hear you like it Shadetree Mechanic! I was wandering if you did any mods at all to it, like Andy suggested earlier, or if you just used it out of the box. Yes I am also trying to stockpile as well(for obvious reasons). How is the SSB drift? The 86v is an attractive package (I would use...

Damn it! Slowmover you bit me to it, you are good!(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y) As soon as I saw the picture, that was the first thing that came to mind. 73.

European CB shop. Actually they do have a point! You do miss all the fun! 73

You are right! I only looked up the Midlands because @AudioShockwav mentioned them. However the same store in Italy also sells the Lincoln II, Lincoln II Export and the Randy. The good thing about any President product, right now, is availability(in Europe as well as here, multiple units...

These are available on Italian and UK stores. Ya tripling the price might not be justified. Improving performance by using a longer and better antenna (if available) might be doable! Just like mobile, it's always a quest to find a better performing antenna (the antenna system pretty much...

Good to know. I know that in Italy many stores carry the Alan line from MIDLAND and seem to be very popular radios (especially the mobile ones). Thanks, I’ll look at the handhelds as well! 73

Since you mentioned it, do you own a McKinley? If so, are you happy with it? Good reports? Reliable unit? It is available in my area (he orders straight from President). It seems to be the only CB that is widely available and easy to get ASAP compared to other rigs that are discontinued, not...

Good point. I don’t know if they make a SSB portable. However just like many things in life you can’t have it all! (have to give something up). I was just pointing out the fact that all my mobiles were SSB. What about a small mobile and carrying it like they do in the military?(y) Challenge...

:):):) No argument as everybody needs a portable as well! I guess it’s the same reason as to why I don’t have a real base station and use mobiles instead(if I have to “grab and go” it’s a lot easier to stash and carry 3 148’s than 1 cobra 2000). You have a good point when you say not being tied...

Yes Shadetree Mechanic, I feel the same. I have yet to own an AM only radio as all mine are SSB. Even if you are a big AM user it's always good to have the SSB option! 73.

Ciao grazie per le informazioni. Sono membro anch’io ma se vuoi mi puoi contattare via mail. Io sono in Canada e sto vedendo di un’antenna per CB/11m. Che tipo di aradio usi? Io ho UNIDEN GRANT XL e COBRA 148GTL (3 Cobra & 2 Uniden). Usi anche un’amplificatore o fai senza? Saluti 73

I totally agree and I feel the same way, since I am also in Canada. So maybe not the very end of the conversation???:)

Thanks I do not want to mislead anybody in any way. I, however, will do whatever necessary in an emergency. If I have to break every man made law or regulation to save a human life I will, and that is my choice! 73.

WELL SAID Shadetree Mechanic.

I already stated before that there are some "bad apples" on the CB band, just like there are some bad hams and bad humans in general as well. That doesn't mean they are all bad; I have met and talked to some amazing truckers and very helpful hams. All I said was not to trash talk the all CB band...

Yes I know what you are saying, however when it comes down to an emergency (including saving a life), I will do what feels morally right to me, and if that means complete disregard for any of the so called "laws" than so be it. I will not sit there and watch or think about what laws I am about...

EXACTLY!
