......That pretty much sums it up, "when people are selling CBs" if it is made in the Phillipines others will jump on it. I agree with DBT, not that much difference, although I didn't know about the mic preamp issue....thanks for the info :)

In the "uniden" board series radios, mostly Cobra and Uniden (of course) CBs, the ones made in the Phillipines are most desired. The difference for the most part is the Philli. boards are made better (quality soldering, better parts,ect). I own/owned both and the difference I see mostly is 1/4...

Rest in peace Biggy

I give her a score of 6 for creative dance......and a score of 9.5 for the face plant ending. :wav

.........................That was a good one, now I gotta go get a paper towel and wipe iced tea off my monitor :)

Re: Electrical Safties .....................No, it's just what I've read (and just mabye I'm not the only one who's read your name calling.....for no just reason) I guess telling someone about the safety factor with electricity and that they should learn as much as they can......comes across...

Re: tHERE YOU GO AGAIN PLUFFO ...............actually, I was in agreement with QRN and you....just QRN was more tactful about it, that's all. Also CBers are also killed as well and worth mentioning. My apologies to the Mods and the group for straying off topic, I just believe it's better to...

"I fully understand what your saying is that there is a time when violence can be and should be employed. And it has to be tit for tat. And effective. However thats the fine line between self defense and diliberate premeditated vengance" That's not the message I meant to...

Re: DONT NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING Very helpful indeed........ "And that is why we will continue to hear "I would really like to get on the 40m (or whatever) band but I can't figure out how to make a dipole...

The face plate is ok.....but those long knobs got ta' go. The blue nitro knobs are cool.....but expensive. I was going to put them on my Grant XL, untill I figured the price (~70 dollars) don't need the bling that bad :wink:

Yes, that is true to a degree....but sometimes a person is "pushed" into an irrational act. One example would be a few bullies picking on the "nerd" so much that he dreads going to school, then goes off the deep end....big time. I know...I was that nerd, but instead of taking a gun to...

Re: School shootings I thought the same thing awhile back when he and I were having a debate.......the dude needs to lay off the caffeine. Anyway...I agree with KingCobra, the fault lies with the sick P.O.S. that went into the school with a gun.

This Ham operator seems like he was a credit to the hobby and a special human being. My greatest sympathy goes out to his family and friends. I'm sure he touched the hearts of many.

Oh yeah, the old 101 series were built well. At one point I had 3.....2 EE's and an EX, One of the EE's I still have. Around 3 weeks ago I traded for a FT-101 (the ones with the white power/heater switches) in great shape only the tubes wouldn't light. Checked all the "obvies" then noticed a...

I got mine at the age of 15....while watching a Walt Disney cartoon with the family. Mickey's dog Pluto was running through the house, knocking stuff all over the place......my Dad says...."There's Raymond" :idea:

Browning Golden Eagle Mark ll.....but my all time favorite is the Yaesu FT-101EE (though not really concidered a CB) I still have the same one after 20+ plus years.

QRN, I was referencing CWM's comment about......."It p***es me OFF that people will just ignore the laws of the land" I know that he's talking about radio, but "laws of the land" would include all laws. (I was more or less, tormenting(sp?) CWM) But the southern "hick" thing seems to be a typical...

"What you are saying, Pluto, is that I have no right to express an opinion or make it known that there an activity for which I hold the uttermost contempt"................First off, sorry for the delay responding, internet was down for a long time. Ok, to the point....Where did I say that you...

Yep........he's piece of work. Not a good example to the Ham community even though I know not all share his views......again, thank God for that.

That's absolutely right.....my hometown was ~70mi NE of Cinci. and had to use an amp just to talk across town, and the majority of voices I heard was from the norththern states. Also I failed to comment on this: "This is life, people judge you by the way you present yourself" I could care less...
