The history is saddening for sure. Not many CBers in my neck of the woods. Mostly all I hear is the channel 6 high powered stations and the craziness of 38L. My interest is more radio repair as a hobby only for my personal collection. I find much happiness in restoring old radios rather than...

Are they still available?

I'll keep an eye out for it. But is it specific to aussie radio PLL chips or also for US chips?
