    I have a 2510 and the Lincoln. Astatic 636 on one and the original RK56 on the other. They work but not like the 575M6.

    WTB

    The best mic that I found for this radio was Astatic 575M6 but they don't make it anymore and everyone wants an arm and leg for a used one.

    Looking for someone in NE Alabama

    Carl had a 2970N2 doing 400 watts, so he says. Never went back in and heard his house went up in flames and closed the shop. i bet it was that 2970n2 doing 400 watts that set the house on fire.

    amp? or big radio?

    Had 2 radios done there(29,148GTL). 29 is going good but the 148 is a mess. The sideband is all messed up and understandable. I think he turned a few to many pots. This was done about 7 months ago and I'm in AL and don't get back to my home town that often.

    Where is everyone ?

    They have the trucks turned down(speed and horsepower) to where they are a hazard, why would they even bother turning on the radio. They only turn on when they come to a stop and want to know why.

    Truck driver looking for an ssb radio.

    I run a Ranger 2970N2 in my 379 Pete and works great. Have mine running thru a predator 10K and have had no issues with it. Do need to make sure that you have the antenna set up right with that radio. AM audio is loud with a road king mic and SSB has allowed me to talk all across this screwed...

    Texas Star 500V vs Davemade 4 Pill

    OK, I have a Ranger 2970N2 that I got new and had it turned down to a 5 watt deadkey for the Texas Star that I have and have not put inline yet. Got to scratching my head and was wondering with all the swing the 2970 has, will the Texas Star last? Should I go with a Davemade 4 pill(not for...

    Why echo?

    Around here in north Alabama, it is not echo that is the problem, it is the idiots that can figure out how to turn on the radio and key the mic. I have never heard so many retards in my life that get on the radio and talk to themselves. I would rather listen to someone with a little echo than...

    RCI 2970N2 power ?

    There is a tech in Hollywood, AL that swears his 2970N2 is doing 400 watts. I know now why nobody is ever in the store having anything done.

    How many truckers are running VHF ? Is CB dying ?

    Now if there is severe weather around, the CB is turned off and the VHF is cranked up. Get weather warnings from the NWS and storm spotter info before the general public. It happened this past Friday with the tornado's in north AL. Was able to direct 2 other trucks away from the tornado's...

    How many truckers are running VHF ? Is CB dying ?

    I have it in the truck but hardly ever turn it on. 160 meters up to 70 cm but always have the CB on with a lot of other people on their too. I am always in a hurry(nature of the job) and need the info from 19. I will turn it on if stopped for the night but usually I will go to the lower...

    HR2510 verses HR2600

    The problem nowadays is finding the chipswitch. If I remember, they stopped making them and when Doc did my 2510, I got one of the last chip's that he had. Not sure if he has found some or has someone making a clone for him. I think the 2600 has to have the chipswitch to convert to 11 meters...
