    I'm sure this request happens from time to time... I just never dreamed I would actually OWN one. Did Magnum not make something like a "service manual" for this thing??? I am aware of the content in CB Tricks but it is not quite complete. I have problems in the displays.. and there are no...

    If there was ever a day for sippin' champagne......

    Last week I found a link to an estate sale being run by a local company.... and the ad included "CB Equipment". So yesterday I thought I'd go take a look. I put these on the table at the checkout and the clerk didn't even slow down..... "$20 each".

    Another abused Cobra 2000 brought back...

    A related question. I just looked in the SAMS for the C-2000. The schematic shows the final to be a 2SC1969 Does THIS MEAN that the NTE-236 is a workable replacement???? If so.... I think that would make this one of those "holy grail" things....

    I ran into a neat little "supply" that will be handy...

    Last year some time, I met up with a guy at his house over in Channelview and he let me prowl through a van in his yard. What was special about this van is.... it was the van bought and turned into a mobile CB Shop by an old friend starting his business at a local truck stop way back in 2017...

    Just for fun......... the "change in swing direction"...... what do you think you did that attributed to that? TO clarify... what do you think took it from "backward swinging" to "forward swinging"? (I am still trying to work out a better understanding of "drivers/finals" and...

    I am still there.... but I am a pretty quiet operator. I don't make much noise. Mostly comments with real personal friends and family... but I DO wade into a few CB interest groups from time to time.... help where I can....but I refuse to "engage" in bickering...... I am a huge believer in...

    Sams PhotoFacts Collection

    Hey Dan, I have not dug back to look..... Have you ever posted a compiled list of the CB-XXX volumes that you are missing? I for one... could see that as being handy... when I see a volume available either letting you know... or getting it and DONATING it... so that you have a more complete set.

    A Quick Attaboy....

    I am a member of a number of "groups on Faceybook" and "forums on the web". I see people who "want radios fixed". I see "well meaning folks" get devolved into arguments about what is best, what will work, what won't work.... then comes insults... then comes name calling......then come the...

    Cobra 29LTD Classic - Delay from key up to audio

    So, if I understand this right ... you would STILL see "immediate carrier".... but it would be 'off frequency' until the VCO catches up..... hence "the chirp"!!! and the modulation would appear once the "catch up" is done. Does that sound reasonable?
