Just wonder what the thoughts are on the ground plane kit for the Imax 2000 antenna. I am just wondering if it made all that much an improvement for you. Looks like the radials are 6ft fiberglass so are a bit shorter than expected so they are wound I suppose. I am used to the older CB antennas...

Much easier to use than other catalog archives I have seen. Even goes to the table of contents directly if you want...

Anyone mod a 13-880B for channels that would include channel 38? I haven't found anything in searching but may have missed it. I am certain it would require an added crystal to be switched for a different set of channels but that is about all I know about it. Nice old radio but not too useful...

I picked up an old Comstat 25A for just a few bucks a while ago. it is in pretty good shape but needs some TLC. It worked okay, received and transmitted etc. before a cap blew! It needs the lamps in the meter replaced The weird problem with it is that the on/off switch in the volume control is...

Looking on Craigslist to see what's up for grabs in CB and ham gear I came across an ad for a Northpoint CBS-1000 and a 24ft CB antenna. for $50 and it is amazingly only a mile away from me! it seems like everything I might be interested in on Craigslist is 100 miles away out in the boonies...

I see there are a couple NMO to 3/8x24 thread adapters out there and was wondering how well they work. Are they better for shorter antennas and unreliable for a full length fiberglass whip or? This being irrespective of the actual NMO mount being used. I know some of the mounts themselves are...

I picked up a Cobra 25 NW WX ST cheap and it all works except the nightwatch feature which is no real surprise. One thing I notice that seems odd is that even with the volume down all the way it still has a fair amount of volume. When listening to a weather channel it is normal and a strong...

I ma curious what you guys think of the Anytone Smart CB. Most of the reviews are pretty good. It sure is small, almost exactly the size of a 3.5 inch floppy drive but with about 1 1/2 inches less depth. Not a lot of features but that is okay with me. I wonder how they are with any engine noise...

I have a Sears Roadtalker 40 SSB "Slant Face" as it is called with a display problem. On some channels it may only display partial numbers, not all of the sections of the LED will light up all the time. They will with careful wiggling of the channel selector however. Some sections on some...

I would like to change my username to hurricane145 which is the username part of my contact email address. I tried to re-register some time ago with it and that seemed to be successful but when I login with it. It logs in okay but goes to my current username. I may have used hurricane145 briefly...

Don't know how it ever got started but you see it as "HAM" ( I am new to HAM...) all the time in more recent years in various forums. It is not really capitalized in the middle of a sentence. It is not an acronym nor a capitalization. It is just plain old ham radio which is something of a...

I picked up a Cobra 2000 GTL at an estate sale and it is missing two of the push button switch covers and one complete button for under the counter. The buttons are a two piece button. The silver cover for the buttons are what is missing for two of them. It appears that they are a glue on cover...

I have two Turner +2 base style mics that are mostly all in pieces. I am working on restoring them. One has the circuit board mounted on the back of the mic element and the other is one that has the circuit board in the neck of the mic. Does anyone have the schematic for the one that has the...
