I live in the Pacific Northwest and am looking for some recommendations on good shops that will accept mail-in repairs. Has anyone heard of R&R Communications in Wilmington, DE? How about Walcott Radio in Walcott, IA? Do they do good work? Are their service fees reasonable? I am looking to get a...

I got into CB radio back in the 70's and was quite active including helping to start a local CB club. In the late 80's, as CB seemed to start declining I drifted away and just spent more time listening to my shortwave radios. Although not being active in CB, I have always had one kicking around...

OK all you microphone gurus out there, I have some questions for you. Would a 4-pin female yaesu FT-101 to 8-pin male Kenwood mic adapter allow me to use Kenwood mics such as The MC-50, MC-60 or the MC-85 on my Galaxy DX159 CB? :confused:

Is anyone here using audio equalizers to improve either the receive audio, transmit audio or both? If so, what brand are you using? :confused:

Does anyone here own a Robyn SB-520D? If so, would you measure the width of the radio and leave the answer here. I just bought one and need to make room on my radio desk for it before it arrives and cannot find any specs online. :unsure:

Can you listen to this radio with no mic or do you need a mic connected to hear audio?

I know that everything that you put between the radio and antenna causes some signal loss. I have an MFJ swr/watt meter in line and wonder if the loss is great enough that I should remove it? Any thoughts or experiences on this issue? o_O

I just finished mounting my 5' Firestik antenna on the toolbox in the bed of my 2009 F-150. I run my truck through the local automated car wash instead of washing it myself and the antenna must be disconnected before going through the wash. My question is:Would adding a quick disconnect to the...

Has anyone tried to adapt a Kenwood MC-60A desk mic to a Galaxy DX-959? Is it possible? :confused:

I have thought about building a dipole antenna like the one Riverman71 displayed in the dxGallery. Instead of using a couple short loaded fiberglass mobile antennas like he did, I would use two 102" stainless whips with guys to keep them from sagging. Then I would add a director and reflector...

It seems to be a growing trend in the CB listings on Ebay to say that the item "works great" but that the seller is describing it as "For parts only, no returns or refunds allowed". One of the common themes is that due to "parts swappers" they must protect themselves. I'm sure that there have...

For those here who shoot skip, I am usually hanging around 38 lower on the weekends from about 10:00 hours to around 1600 hours. My call numbers are Whiskey - Alpha 373. It would be great if we could hook-up! (y)

1. I'm about to install a CB in my 2009 F-150 Super Cab and would like some feedback on my antenna location choice. I have an aluminum toolbox at the forward end of the truck bed that is bolted to the bed. I'm thinking that I will get the best signal pattern to the sides and rear of the truck if...

Are the Sirio M400 and the Workman M400 both made by Sirio? Back in the day I had the original Starduster and really liked it. Any comment on these two copies of the Starduster?

I recently purchased a Uniden 980 and seem to have two green back light colors and no amber as shown in their ads. Has anyone had the same problem? :sad:

My owners manual for my Icom R-75 specifies an external speaker at 8 ohms. Would it be alright to use a 4 ohm speaker instead? (It's a small speaker) :confused:
