Congratulations

My Messenger II had the original slide switch mike directly wired to the chassis and the accessory plug on the back for the Tone Alert. It's been many years ago , there was a lumber mill that ran a 27 MHz repeater and used tones for opening the squelch. I might even have some old reeds around...

When that song was first released, several groups were writing bad reviews calling it sexist, not having a clue that the song was really about CB radio. 73 Jeff

That feature stops flood postings from spammers so they can't load up 20/30 posts at one time.... 73 Jeff

To be honest I didn't even know that there's a delay....... I did see your report and removed the user Thanks for the report. 73 Jeff

I remember Johnson made some early CB radios that used this for a selective call feature. It was a plug in accessory that muted the rx until it heard the correct tone to open the receiver. I think Lafayette had something like that as well. 73 Jeff

Thrifty drug store and GBS Hardware had the biggest selection of tubes, I think a 6js6c was $7 back then. ( Bill the guy who ran the TV repair shop always charged $.50-1.00 more) Yessir we scavenged old TVs/radios for tubes as well The good ole days 73 Jeff

I started with a 3 channel RS cb and worked up to the 101 had a B and a E series. I was fortunate that I had already progressed past the defeated limiter AM junkie mentality when I bought them. The B had Toshiba tubes with the green stripe and I limited it to 20 watt carrier on AM and they lived...

Random thing in my feed and had to share... My Hooptie is down 73 Jeff

I was doing good considering that I didn't have my glasses on I am slowly learning that as I became old and decrepid not to sweat the small stuff because no one pays attention anyway.... 73 Jeff

We have to see pictures of the inside of your project, it's like a long lost relic excavated from a pit of vintage radio goodies. What will be reviled...... 73 Jeff

Most of the morning just noise and some faint signals. Then as I was going to store and post office suddenly 1732 comes up with a strong signal and called CQ on 38 I answer and we talked about 5 minutes just like he was local. And then he faded into oblivion replaced by more static 73 Jeff

The thing costs $50, it's lasted about a year now.... 73 Jeff

Not fixed My wife has this little vacuum, got it from Walmart, I don't pay much attention to it. She said that the battery is not lasting as much anymore. I figured it was just a pack of rechargeable cells, I will pull it out and replace it. Removed screws...... Well I guess that MAh rating...

It's a balance You always want to be open to someone who is just trying to understand ( insert radio service) and is looking for advice or someone who has radio experience and wants to post up something that might be useful for the group. It happens, it seems to come in waves. They want...

Tim recently changed the captcha settings, there has been a increase in activity. We are trying to stay on top of it 73 Jeff

The Gainmaster is a 5/8ths wave center feed antenna. I made this mistake as well years ago and at first I disregarded it as another a99 clone. After some education, Thank you @bob85 , The DB, Marconi and others, I came to understand where the actual feed point is on the antenna. If you search...
