    "New" President Washington consensus?

    I'm thankful that I had the hindsight to buy a lot of radio gear 35 years ago, to put away for a rainy day. I have two later model MRF 455 Chipswitched and stripped of that corrosive Sonybond glue 2830s that are still in their sealed factory boxes, just waiting to be shown the attention they...

    "New" President Washington consensus?

    I have no complaints at all with the new Washington. Paired with the DigiMike, I get nothing but good reports on the audio. It gets a little warm on long key-ups, but the fans do their job well in keeping it cool. Overall, it's the radio I use most often, other than the Kenwood TS 480HX and TS...

    Who makes the good Cobra 148 GTL?

    I have a Taiwan made 148 that was bought brand new in 1985. Still have the original white power plug and stock coffin mic and mount for it as well. Still works great after all these years.

    Texas Star DX 667V Max PEP Drive Power

    I gave specific instructions to NOT remove any limiters when I bought it. So it should still be there. I bought it from Trucks CB and they usually do a good job in doing what the customer requests. I will get in there and turn down the power at some point, if I can't get the desired result by...
