I was just looking for information on this radio. I have an 86 Buick Regal T-Type that some genius put in a double din radio that I despise. I normally don't like broadcast radio in a car. So I was wanting to convert it to single din but this radio seems an even better choice. I could find no...
This has been an interesting thread. I am only recently deeper into antennas but find it fun to experiment with. I am in the local helicopter/hospital flight line, have a blind neighbor that loves listening to audio books via headphones, the same neighbor has his science experiment solar...
I just go by what locals tell me. Interesting though. The QT80/6666 and the 5 something sound so good that even some of the old timers have bought one.
My advice would be to move. I don't have that problem locally. The majority of my driving is with vintage vehicles. Recently I put a CB in my 1966 Bel Air station wagon. The fuse box has 3 terminals with switched connections to the battery from the factory. The inner passenger side rear fender...
I don't keep lots of newer vehicles so it isn't a huge problem for me. I have a 25 Bronco with no CB because my gf borrows it when her vehicle needs service and it just seems like a hassle in it. My 24 Silverado I can put anything in with the mount I use but prefer a Mars Yaesu FT-891. With it I...
Lp-100A question since a few here seem to own one. Does it become a source for RF in your shack?
I ask because I have one of those huge Dosy test centers and it definitely is. Truck stop (Astatic) meters I have learned to avoid after having a serious problem with one. I was thinking a Bird with...
That is good. Locally I talk to a few that sound great who are using 30 plus year old radios. Most of my time is spent below channel 1 and I am pretty happy. My QT80 got moved yesterday to my El Camino. Lots of noise sources. Solid core wires, hei, MSD circle track rpm control, ect. My "worse"...
1. Examples? It is easy to make accusations without proof.
2. Speaking of accusations without proof aka "fox hunt". More than one person over the years has faced a false accusation because of this.
3. Where I live, locally if someone is causing a problem they are dealt with by locals. No running...
Is that the guy that got fined previously, never paid and nothing ever happened? More of the same? I don't see why locals would care. Locally our CB radios have 40 channels plus the free band. Probably reported by some wannabe hams or real hams with nothing better to do.
Out of all the radios I own the Connex does have the worse noise filtering. I just like how it looks more than anything. People 40 miles out I can hear clearly with the QT80 or Stryker, with the Connex I get enough extra noise that I just can't make them out. It's a shame. They can hear me...
Nothing against anyone that loves old radios but frankly I don't want the hassle. For CB specifically the best radio I have is a Radioddity QT80. Best no in easy to use. Best in the best receiver with the best noise reduction especially mobile in a city. With a President Digimike people tell me...
Actually a less expensive clone.
On topic, Ranger doesn't seem dead. Despite all the negative comments they seem to sell out as fast as retailers can get them. Moreso than any other brand for sure. Keep in mind I don't own or use a Ranger. I currently use an Icom, Yaesu, Radioddity, Connex and...
