I believe that the Best cb radio guy is a member here...... Give me a minute. 73 Jeff

If these turn out to be a decent radio and they can keep the retail prices under $140/150 this may be a great value for both the retailers and consumers. @Shadetree Mechanic Did you get a answer back from the supplier? 73 Jeff

The last advertisement this morning is now $55 min 5 pieces. 73 Jeff

Is that the one with 4 smooth tops and 4 6kd6 tubes? I had some stuff on SOS electronics somewhere I will go look 73 Jeff

Maybe Ken's Electronics? He has literally dug up stuff for me that was unobtanium before. 73 Jeff

That is funny I sent a inquiry this morning for a "sample for evaluation" from the same supplier. They said they were going to calculate shipping and get back to me. 73 Jeff

Thank you for the update on Dan , sending thoughts and prayers 73 Jeff

It's nothing like it was 20 years ago, I still hear a few drivers on 17 or 19 down the 99 or I5 corridor but it's not the chatter of the old days. Basically if you call out you can usually get a driver to come back but not always. There's still a few long running 11m nets here on Friday and...

Radio Shack , or properly, the Archer Crossbow 1/2 wave cb antenna 1980 something... There's a thread here somewhere I will look 73 Jeff

I brain farted and deleted the link and I think I already deleted the email, I will look when I get home. 73 Jeff

Yes it clearly states max 120 drive...... I would stay with @bob85 drive suggestions and output. RM has the ability to build very good HF amps, but they recognize what sells in the US 11 meter market. 73 Jeff

It's been dead during the day but I hear the Pacific in the evening. Last night I could hear Strawberry on the big island, but I could not make it back to him, then he faded out and someone from the Philippines was in there. This morning I can hear South America on channel 5 but everything else...

Thank you for following up on the issue, this helps others that may run across the same problem. 73 Jeff

It was a short see above ^^^^^ 73 Jeff

Brian scored one right there, good to see that stuff will be available for a little while longer. 73 Jeff

The scope is at most crude and configured poorly unfortunately. That feature could have been much better with a programming tweak but..... It's old by today's standards but still serves me well, it got me a contact in South Korea last summer on a homemade dipole about 10' off the ground on the...

My 897 is starting to show signs of the fault now after years of dragging it around to camping sites. It's held up for a long time and seen some abuse, it was out on a bench one spring at Bass Lake California and we had a afternoon thunderstorm roll through. I literally had to pour water out of...

When you put it in tx does the relay pull in? Or does it pull in when you key the radio? I don't remember, does that one have a preamp? Is it new to you? I bought a skyhook amp one time and discovered that the standby switch was actually a tx/rx switch. Previous owner bypassed the key circuit...

I will be following this, I have a few friends who run old radios on the weekly Old Tube Radio Network that try to keep them alive, this may keep a few more on the air. Thank you Chris. 73 Jeff
