I have a sears road-talker 40 am black face base radio
and surprisingly an Eversonic radio .The Eversonic bought from EBay for $10 has incredible reception and audible.
I started out with a President hr2510 CB radio. I have had it for years. A first time purchase would be a sideband radio for sure.You find a more serious radio enthusiast on it. There are other things done to sideband I will not discuss; but definitely go sideband.
I use 2 separate Dr Dipole antenna''s. one is 11 meter and the other 10 meter. They are ready to go.No ground needed and great dx contacts and good local.Make sure you get the baluns and his coax. Fills all my needs.
Sears Roadtalker 40 am
These are very good radios! I collect vintage radio's of all kinds. I have the black face base. Don't mess around, its having a tech do the work. I am looking for a Sears SSB base in perfect condition.I found another am base and bought that with an unusual Sears...
matcher
I was thinking about one of those matchers , though I would be willing to pay a little more for better equipment I go halfway through half the 11 meter band through half the 10 meter band with a 1:5 . and its a 10 meter horizontal V dipole.I am usually on 38 lower sideband as thats...

27.185 up to 28.450 . Thats all I need...
Under $150
I have seen a Uniden on one of the dealers on the web brand new for under $ 90 . Don't go to Ebay . If you don"t buy from a dealer or a friend buy from the forum here . A complete setup can be done ; but your cutting it close . <gotproof>
I have been looking at a Redman CB Custom Wilson Noise Canceling Power Amplified Radio Microphone for my president hr2510 . I am setting things up in the end of my computer room and have all set up ; but would like a microphone . has anyone used one or seen one in use ?
10 meter dipole
I am planning to get my ham license so I bought one from a manufacturer who made it for what I want . It is in my computer room in a horizontal v . I had the Balun installed . I used command strips to hold the rings adding tie straps.My match is below 1:5 from 28.5000 down to...
Glad you brought that up . I was really into radio's in the 70s . When I put them all in storage because I was to involved with work I forgot about them. I retired and just work when I want to . I do digital design and a few websites in my computer room and dug out several of my sealed cartons...

ebay
I look for the 14 return policy, it has to be either new or said to work. I sometimes just buy it outright. I had one bad experience. I bid on a CB that said worked but had a few lights out on channel selector. I could fix that. Well I put in a $25 bid and won the auction. Luckily i paid...
I need a plug for my vintage sears roadtracker base. It has a black face and 40 am channels. The plug in the set has 2 male prongs on top and 3 on the bottom. Anyone have suggestions?
