    SAMS manual for Washington

    On the SAMS website they are listing 3 different Washington manuals, CB222 (twice) & CB128, all Presidents. Mine is badged Uniden, and manufactured around 1990. I realise they are likely all much the same, but mine being a 3 button version, not like the 2 button 4 pin earlier Presidents...

    Ranger RCI 2950 date codes

    ..Have you asked Ranger themselves, they may have the records by serial number. The serial number on my 2950DX, which I've had since new, looks nothing like yours. Mine about 10 years old. I have a Cobra 2000 I was curious about its vintage. But when I emailed them with the 2k's serial number...

    Supply chain issues affecting the hobby continues

    Is supply of CB radios ie Galaxy, Uniden , Cobra, Ranger etc fairly steady & consistent in the US now, or are there still covid related manufacturing issues with the Asian factories? Same could be said for amateur radio equipment. Thanks & 73's

    Walkie Talkie Base Station

    As a 10 year old my first cb radios were a pair of 100mW Pocket Com walkie talkies. Had a lot of neighborhood fun with them, but they gradually fell into disrepair including broken telescopic antennas. I attached my crystal radio antenna to the antenna base of one of them, and was amazed to...

    Cobra 2000 Crystal

    I need to source an 11.325 MHz crystal for my Cobra 2000. It's part# X3 QX-086, 11.325 MHz in the SAMS manual, but that's all it tells me. I can have one cut locally as a one-off, but they are wanting all sorts of data like ESR, f stability, calibration tolerance, load capacitance, shunt...

    Dirland CB radio products

    ...Can't believe this old post of mine about Dirland has resurfaced :oops: Heavy damn thing it was. The overload on it failed, then the replacement failed. Lugging it around when moving house. Not hurrying to buy another one(y) Fast forward 13 years and it has been retired for a while now &...

    Ham radio in short film

    Was passing some time on nightshift, during a meal break of course, and found this sci-fi short film that surprised me when ham radio was featured. Not a believable story really, nor entirely technically correct, but still interesting & gets some favorable comments. It goes 28 mins. 73's

    Here you go Cobra 2000 fans...

    Any way to tell the Cobra 2000 vintage by serial number? Cobra themselves couldn't tell me. It's packed away right now, unsure of build location, but pretty sure it wasn't a Phillipines model. 73's

    Dosy frequency counter

    I'm wanting to buy a frequency counter for the shack, for use as a quick reference, with different radios. Prefer one with SO-239 connections & 27.xxx.x resolution. Any feed back on the Dosy FC-50PS? It's aimed at sideband which is all I use. Thanks & 73's 43 Echo 695

    2970 N2 & D104

    Have sometimes wondered what the MFJ-299 desk mic would be like on the RCI-29xx series radios. Anyone tried it? The mic gets a reasonably good rap for amateur radio applications. It would be one less mic I would need on the desk in the shack, one I could interchange with ham gear.. Have...

    Teaberry Stalker XX Export, when brand new..

    Has anyone on the forum been around long enough to remember when this radio was sold new, did it come from the factory with the extras, was the packaging, user manual, radio faceplate etc embossed with FM, Hi/Lo etc etc? Or was this all done later as an aftermarket thing by dealers or...

    SBE mic wiring

    Thanks for your replies. Yes I scratched my head a bit after seeing the wiring diagram on CB Tricks. Anyhow, it's yet to be tested but the mic is wired. I also got about 1k Ohm through each of the meters, so hoping they're OK as replacements or spares are probably harder to find than...

    Radio Shop Supply warranty work .

    Limeybastard what was the repair issue with your 2970N4? Hopefully it's sorted for you quickly. Aside from that, what are their tunes like for these types of radios? I'm thinking of getting one, and am considering a Lescomms tuned, but the freight from California would be cheaprer and quicker...
