this one:

i have a several LED camping lanterns at the ready, a coleman cook stove for cooking & making coffee, last winter during a bad storm we went without power for 10 days, i had fun with a battery powered shortwave radio, the reception was nice with all the electric off in my house and all the...

directly, plug the external speaker line from the radio to the input on the computer, i do it often, CB is mono so you only get one channel but with the right software you can merge it with both channels so the recorded audio will be on both speakers Audacity is a good one Audacity: Free...

or run the audio through your PC (line in or microphone input) then any simple recording software will save it as a file, (wav or mp3 or ogg) just make sure the input volume levels are not too high or too low, too high and it will sound distorted and too low and you wont hear it well, usually...

yeah, with not so great results, this one: mmsstv which is great software for ms-windows, mmsstv = Home - MM HamSoft (but not so good in Linux's wine) it was unstable and constantly locked up and HamRadioDeluxe will not run in wine, i even installed Virtualbox in linux which will run a guest...

I listen on CB more than I talk on CB, i like to listen to everything from 160 meters up to 10 meters and everything in between, i run the audio through my PC and decode stuff like RTTY-75, PSK31, and i wished like heck there was some good SSTV software for Linux but the only one i know of is...

got it here too, sounds like that jingle that IceCream trucks play

plus CBs for sale in pawn shops, flea markets & swapmeets, kids getting on daddy's CB while dad is not around, or just given away free, or someone just finds one sitting in a desk or closet or garage just abandoned so they hook it up and use it, to be bothered or upset over things people say on...

I am sure many of you heard this before: "The best thing about CB Radio is 'anyone can buy one' and the worst thing about CB Radio is 'anyone can buy one' " that sums it up pretty good since CB radios can be bought at any truck stop all across the country and i am sure ebay, craigslist...

if you have a junked radio with a four pin mike plug mounted in it and an extra mic cord end you can make your own, midland mic wiring is exactly opposite as cobras, just get the wires right.

i do more research, i do a google search which usually will include an eham.net review (i know eham has at least one troll who bad-mouths everything) search yahoo-groups, search blogspot and search youtube too, usually somebody will put a video on too and if something really is a complete piece...

what is this .64 VSs 5/8ths they are almost the same thing, one is decimal and the other is a fraction 5/8th is actually .625 when converted to a decimal and the difference between .625 and .64 is nominal (less than an inch) (unless my math teacher lied to me when i was in school)

I like that, it is better for fine tuning SSB if those last two 00 actually function and track with the clarifier knob. (for both RX & TX)

the one's i posted were within the price range of most people the TenTec and the Icom both have display a spectrum of several hundred kilohertz + & - so it will do what you want nicely, what i like about them is all you have to do is click on the spike where the signal showed up on the screen...

if you want a decent SDR capable reciever check out a TenTec 320d or an icom R1500 the TenTec 320d is more reasonably priced, but the Icom also covers more (vhf/uhf/ and up to 1300) TenTec 320d TEN-TEC RX-320D HF Receiver RX320 Icom 1500 Icom R1500 IC-R1500 Wideband Receiver R-1500 if it was...

some hams have made antennas out of aluminum flag poles complete with brass ball on top and flying the flag too, i like the idea of a disguising an antenna as a tree, i have lots of real trees in my yard, i bet i could hide a dipole in them and nobody would see it

dont let it get you down, there are lots of other channels, i listen on 38 LSB but since i have a weak little 12 watt SSB, 4 watts AM barefoot radio (no amp) i dont bother to try talking DX skip unless it is very un-busy and just a few people chatting friendly, i tend to check out USB and 36 37...

there is another thread where there is a horizontal full wave loop that looks inexpensive to build and he says it works quite well, i may build one similar and run it horizontal right below my A99, run both coax to a antenna switch then i can switch from horizontal (loop) to vertical (A99)...

the nerve of some people, how dare they say anything you dont approve of, /sarcasm if the drivel you hear on CB radio bothers you that much then you need to find another hobby

i live in a small redheck town here, only a few locals that chat it up almost daily (nobody uses SSB for local talk here) , and a few truckers on 19 they all have big galaxy base stations and use CB channels and AM only, then wonder why they cant talk far, i tried to get them to use SSB but...
