    Where did the "True" auctions go? Most everything I see now is listed with a "Buy it Now" price-or at the very least, a "Starting" price that is more than the item is worth. 73 David

    Anyone here REALLY know Texas Stars?

    They are Steve. I set it to 80 watts max and corrected/repaired a coax switch that I believe caused the issue initially. I haven't had much time to play radio lately. Wife and I have been pretty busy with my health and her mothers health. I tripped across those 2-2879's I pulled from the...

    Alternative uses for CB items?

    Chip Quik low mp solder for chip removal?

    brandon7681, I wasn't saying you were promoting anything but if you were I would not take offense to it. I found it clever that you were talking about "low mp solder" and then the comment: show me all the other cool soldering stuff. Maybe not realized at the time but a "funny" none the less...

    HUGE solar flare yesterday X2.8 !! Radio blackouts expected

    Codeman, I came into the possession of the 139 many years ago. It was re-capped about 3 years ago. Then the driver and finals went south and the power supply took a dump. It is all stock except for the extra channels on the CB/PA switch and the PA jack on the rear converted to a foot key jack...

    Tram D201A Very low receive after using a pre-amp

    Same here, I only take on projects that interest ME! It's not for the money (and I do have a 60-70 hour a week job) I just cannot sit idle. It is something I have been interested in for over 50 years and cold weather does not work well with me doing the wife's "Outside Projects". I keep thinking...
