    Power Wires

    I guess the Magnum it is then. Guess I ought to just buy then ask for forgiveness. Just spent $170.00 on radio equipment last weekend. The filter is only 20 bucks so i can get away with that. What an expensive addiction.

    I have to agree on the crazy. Radio Shack used to have a buch of c.b. stuff. If I remember right, they use to sell some pretty good base station. Seems like that was a really long time ago.

    I was in a C.B. store the other day and the tech was telling a radio owner about what pwr. setting to operate on for best results. He said for louder audio run on low, Will be louder but less pwr. Then said for better recieve run on high but, audio won't be as loud. It sounded a little crazy...

    They all sound pretty good to me. Maybe I should do this like the military, go for the lowest bid....After a second of consideration that does not sound like a good idea. The military has not had that good of luck with that one either. Who knows, flip a coin.
