CB gear at Hamvention

[6meter]

I attended the 2026 Hamvention in Xenia OH. In the swap meet area I spotted a number of CB radio's. Most commonly Cobra or Uniden. Also a lot of coax available and several antennas of the A99 type. There were a lot of watt and SWR meters. Also desk mikes like D104's and Turners.

One booth had an interesting variety of radios. I thought some of you would find this interesting.

I didn't take any photos but one booth had a pristine Browning MkIII pair.

And I was lucky enough to find this for a very good price:


My first amp.....

Crawdad - congrats that is a great looking amp. I've looked at King Conversion 6m amps in previous years. Hope you had luck with negotiating the price.

The guy had it marked @ $800, it didn't take much haggling to get him down to $600. And it's very clean. I don't think the fella wanted to drag the heavy bastard back to Maryland. I've seen several SB-220s and 221s priced $1k. Several amateurs told me ahead of time that Lou @ King Conversions does great work. I traded a few emails with Lou and he was super helpful. We'll see, don't have it in service yet, running a 220vac circuit for it.
