Okay, heres my take. I have a 2018 F250 crew cab. Big truck but nowhere to mount the radio in the cab due to the console. My radio has ssb so it's on the larger side mounted inside the console out of sight. I pulled the center console and ran all power wires and coax under and into the console...

Correct part number is 100X.

Hello all, I also posted this in the cb swap forum but thought I could get more views here. I am looking for an SBE 100SX amplified desk mic. The amplified version has a small dial on top of the mic base. These were made by Belcom late 70's, early 80's. If someone has a nice one they would like...

The SBE mic was made by Belcom if someone may have the mic but the SBE sticker may have come off.

I seen the mic listed for $175.00 on ebay. Rather salty for a used mic. Please let me know if there is a decent SX100 or if the Console V is in decent shape in the equipment you are checking out. Thank you..

Hello everyone, I am looking for a nice SBE SX100 amplified base mic if anyone is looking to sell one. Thank you, Hairball (Harry)

Thank you all for the info. The challenge is finding someone who would know a bit about the radio and want to work on it.

I understand that a radio that has never been used is just as problematic as a radio that was in use. Thats why I am looking for someone with experience with Console V's to go thru the radio and check it out. I have no problem putting money in the radio if it needs it. The radio works fine right...

Hello, I just picked up a new in box NOS SBE Console V. Does anyone know of a shop that has experience working with these radios? The radio is a little off frequency on SSB and I would like to get it aligned and checked over. I would even be open to recapping the radio if it needs it even...

Big Kahuna, any updates on lowering your noise floor?

Thank you for the in depth information. It's refreshing to exchange questions and ideas on this forum and not get pounded with negative opinions. Thank s again.

This is probably a dumb question. If I put up the AP, the mast will be 37 feet. Does that length affect the performance in anyway?

One more question on the A/P. Has it been figured out what wave it is? 1/4, 1/2 or 5/8? Not that it matters just as long as it works.

Well if I pull the trigger before winter and swap antennas I will report with an honest assessment of my experiences between the two antennas. Thanks again for the info.

Marconi, Thank you for the info. Is there any truth that aluminum/metal antennas have less "white noise" than fiberglass antennas? I run a Yaesu that is very good on receive and I can filter down the static but I just hate to not give the new Targa/Astroplane a try for old time sake.

I'm really torn on taking everything down and going backwards on performance.

After reading this thread completely I am still not sure of which antenna to run. I currently have a Gainmaster up at about 40ft at the coil. Works great, no issues except at some times of the day a higher static/white noise issue. I live in a highly industrialized area. Other than that I'm...
