I found a 148 gtl for reasonable. Pristine condition for 125 and that was with the really good tune job I watched him do before taking it out the door. I bought that, a mic, and 18' of mini 8 that I watched him make, plus had my old Cobra 26 gone through to keep as a backup, all for $155 from...

So far I'm using a 4' Francis whip with 9' of RG8 copper braid. I'd like to get one of the large coil antennas because I hear they play nicely with 10m when retuned for that purpose. That and they are supposedly some of the most efficient whips under 9'. The only real issue I'm having at the...

You have been a huge help with this. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Great info everyone. Thank you all very much. I have one last question. I just read up on the 980 and even watched an overview video. I noticed that it comes with an adaptor for a 4 pin mic. What mic works best for this radio? I know the 636L is a good mic and the RK56 is also if you can find a...

Ok apparently, I do need to do a lot more homework. I thought any SSB transmission was HAM territory. That's why I always thought it was odd that a few of the SSB CB radios were legal. I just figured that if the option was there, I'd use it. I'm not even sure if this is the right area of the...

Lol I never knew that technicality. Thanks.

I was looking for info on a radio that I can use to broadcast on cb while studying for ham but still listen on ssb to get a feel for how to talk on ssb once I get my ham license but not get busted by the fcc for having in my truck. I have no intention of transmitting in any channel I'm not...

I thought that the 148GTL and a couple of the Galaxy radios were FCC approved? I read somewhere once that you could legally operate a CB radio with ssb capability but not a SSB radio with CB capability because of the power limits for each as well as easy modifications.

So I've looked around and the pickings appear to be slim in this category, but it's something I've always been adamant about. I'm planning on getting my ham tech ticket, maybe general, in the near future. That may mean in a few months, but that also may mean in a year. Depends on how much time I...

The shop in Troutman is I-77 exit 42. Exit 42 electronics. Good tech from what I hear. The best in the area is the guy in Elkin off exit 82 or 85. Ray is his name and he's the guy known for building the old Elkin linears. That guy is the only person many guys I know will let touch their...
