    Old School vs New School CBs: Which do you like ??

    Yes, the stock one and Smiley. The issue with my two is the RX gets easily overloaded, the ACG needs to work better. I am only five blocks from a major airport (Midway).

    Do you live in an Urban, Rural or Backwoods area??

    Cb shops are non-existent around here, there used to a few back in the 80s but long gone how. There was a ham shop about twenty minutes away but they closed two years. Closest not is Ham Radio Outlet (former AES) in Milwaukee, about an hour and half away.

    HamGeek 6699 CB/HF Radio

    Could be interesting if it had an actual VFO and the not typical channelized system most exports have. When they do this it screams 11 meter use.

    What year and why did you get into the Radio Hobby?

    Around 1973, my parents gave me a Pase 166 for Christmas. Put up an RS 1/2 wave GP, and I was off to the races.

    not in touch with reality

    They pay too much attention to ebay selling prices and not what the stuff sold for. Goodwill.com was goto for older camera great but they are to pricey nowadays.

    Really worth it

    Then what I heard about it is correct. I never heard one on the air, most of the people around here ran Cobras, Uniden, Colt, Tram, amd a smattering of Midlands.

    Really worth it

    I have been out of the 11 meter hobby for thirty plus years now but like to browse EBay for the older grear. I keep seeing certain radios fetch higher prices and I always wonder why. I know Tram, CPI, Stoner, etc pull in the big dollars but GE? Why is this sideband mobile valuable? Is it really...
