I couldn't resist.....

I saw this on craigslist and while I've gotten better at clearing out my old stuff and regulating my CB purchases to newer equipment I couldn't resist this classic.

Don't blame you, I would probably have to buy a beauty like that to!

I always like the look of that radio but for some reason liked the Console V better. Good pick-up and as the other poster said I might have done the same thing.

Friend of mine has one. It looks good and sounds great with his Turner +3. I like the looks of that model.

You should see the Console VI

wow that's looks like a nice radio will you be doing a right up on it?

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

Is there anything about this radio that is special about it performance wise?
Wanted one myself. There was a NOS/NIB one on Ebay.

Nothing special...similar to Cobra 142GTL, TRC-490...this one has the PC-385 board in it.

Just a nice stable older SSB radio. This one has extra channels and unlocked clarifier.

Really dumb question but why is the SWR/MOD meter showing a value with the unit in RX mode?

 

[cbradiomagazine.com]

Sharp eyes...

The meter is sticky, one of the things I will need to work on.

Popped the covers for the alignment & to check out the extra switches. Can't imagine the fun putting together that mod.

before someone asks...no the frequency counter isn't showing the transmit frequency, the probes are hooked up to the test points inside the radio during alignment.

The Land Command. That's right up there with Loudenboomer when it comes to cool radio names.

Looks like a Uniden chassis with some extra loop osc xtals for channels. PC-409 or something like that? OK saw it; it's a PC-385. Same as a Pres Washington, Cobra 142GTL, or a Uniden Grant.
Cool; decent radio.

Ever use the 'grabber' type ends for your freq counter cable? Safer to use/less chances for shorting and easier to keep on location.

How else has it been hacked? Funny when ya get a radio that has all of these xtra channels - and then you find the AM Limiter was also pulled - lol! What were they thinking?

Cool rig! Looks like I wired the mic plug though. Hope you have fun with it.

Been using it all weekend with the D104. Good reports on the air, swings about 14 watts SSB.

Tone control on it works quite nice, just like the hi-cut feature on the newer radios
