Does anyone remember anything about the Craig brand CB radios? I remember Craig Electronics; car radios, car radios amps, speakers. My question is was Craig a house brand at one time. I seem to remember Craig products being sold at K-Mart and auto parts stores. I had found a Craig 23...

I will be doing so remodeling in the weeks to come and I am debating about running the coax for a base station and scanner in the family room. Many on the site have mentioned a great many times of growing up with a CB in the family room. I had mentioned before my father ran a Royce 619 Base...

My friends, this is just a curiosity question. I use my PC mainly for home office work and web browsing. My main PC is an i5 Core X4 3.0 GHz with 16 GB RAM, Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM hard drive, its from 2016. It can dual boot to Windows 11 and Linux Mint. I am thinking about upgrading to...

It just struck me this weekend that the number of qualified gunsmiths are about just as rare as qualified CB Radio techs. I came into IVER JOHNSON revolver that still read IVER JOHNSON FIREARMS and CYCLE WORKS; an Old 38 S&W top break. Anyway, I figured at 120 years old and probably not shot...

First, disclaimer. I am not attempting to make a political post. The gentleman in question just happens to be a popular politician. That being said please no extreme tastelessness. I the admins need to remove this post I understand fully. Mainly I am curious about the creative replays to the...

I am sure I am not the odd guy out when I say I have enjoyed this forum for years and years without being a paying member. I disappeared for a few years and then came back. Marriage issues. In plain explanation, I kept the Royce base station, there is no Mrs. no more... These past holidays I...

I've been having a lot of success with the longevity of Blackview branded Android tablets for my kids. They are Chineseum of course. Looks like a Lenovo tablets with the generic name. Anyway, my older son managed to break of the inner piece of the USB-C recharging jack. My soldiering skills...

My 15y/o son has come to live with me full time 5 weeks ago today. His mother had some emotional issues and it was not in his best interest to remain with her and boyfriend. Coming home from school the past week he keeps asking me is WW III is going to start if President Trump is not...

Anyone of our friends stuck in the hurricane damage zone. We are all praying for recovery for all friends and family. My understanding is this is the worst natural disaster in US in that I can recall in my lifetime.

Last week I was at the Rinky Dink Indoor Flea Market in Marietta, Ohio. It is a clean operation, I think at old Hills Store. The point is as you walk in the front and go to the back left hand corner the husband and wife sell random elderly electronics. He has a Cobra 2000, one speaker, with...

I have a 2017 Nissan Rouge. It has over 100,00 now. Plan to keep to 200,000 or at least give it a good attempt. 198,000 is best I ever made it to without a money pit like failure. I can do basic work myself, but my engine work ability became obsolete with interpreted circuits in cars...

Has anyone researched this or purchased one. It looks like an ARIES II board and controls placed in a base station case with power supply and linear box. Looks like sound idea I was thinking about a similar build for myself. Just curious if the builder is on the forum or if any of you fine...

I bump this topic every once in a while. Out of curiosity. When was the last time anyone heard any emergency traffic other than news from TJ on Channel 9. It was early 90’s when Brooke County WV still had signs posted that said “Sheriff’s Office monitors CB Channel 9 for emergencies.” Our...

I am sure everyone here remembers Lee Majors in THE FALL GUY. He had the custom pick up with the 9 foot whip on a ball mount. It the premiere episode he had asked for an ambulance on Channel 9. I just saw the commercial for the remake movie of the Fall Guy and if I had been drinking cheap...

This is just my imagination and coffee deficiency this morning, My older brother had an old school original satellite TV dish back in the 1990s. It was laying at the edge of his yard on the ground for years. This is in no way practical, but has anyone ever tried to make a Vertical 11 meter...

If this is beating a already dead horse processed into cheap dog food I apologize. Has anyone noticed FM traffic being appearing with any regularity on any of the 40 channels? Or, perhaps seeing it on the uppers or lowers? Just debating about getting one of the newer Anytones. The only FM...

Merry Christmas My Friends

I do not ever remember discussing this on the forum. Three questions in a set. 1. Who got you involved in CB radio? 2. What year did you first talk on a CB radio? 3. What model CB radio was your first time? My answers are: 1. My father, his handle was "Pinwheel" 2. 1979 3. Robyn...

Just curious has anyone noticed any change in conditions in northeast US with the inclusion of the smoke from the ongoing forest fires from southern Canada? No scientific basis for the question, the Ohio Valley area here looks like it did when steel mills were operating.
