Real CB Radios are side mic

For that mythical driver using aTUG on a boom:

First he’ll need a RoadRanger

Sufficient gearing to move a wide-base, lard-ass, oversized load every time he’s the driver

Gonna have to get an Eaton-Fuller Cruise Control Remote Kit to go underneath


6E4C01A8-B713-404D-ABC1-DCF30034825F.jpeg

An EasyJake switch to engage pre-set compression brake on dash, and engage from the shifters starboard side.

and 3D print a second switch to fit underneath for PTT


Fat boys lean right. Slouch down and over. Ruin the RH side of the seat after ruining the truck door hinges.

Six (6) double-position switches with twelve (12) possibilities; on the shifter. But, I’d guess the audio would be good between gasps.


Side Mic Mobile: Radio of The Big Road ain’t a natural for base mics.



Sooner or later you might be the anointed one out on the running board and keeping traffic separated.

So we crashed the gate doing 98, I says let them truckers roll, 10-4”

Side Mic: For when it matters.

Hey I had one of those 18's with the grey overdrive from 2011 until 2020 , now it's the red overdrive 13 speed....... I'm afraid the next one might be Auto or worse than that electric....

Kind of the same direction we're slowly moving away from the side mic radios or @NightThumper lollipop astatic.

The good o'l side mic days are passing away fellas
 
“The good o'l side mic days are passing away fellas”


Until a man takes unto himself a Galaxy DX-959 as side mic, he consorts with circuitry not integrated into the whole. (Uniden and Cobra faded away, left the field).

The sum must be greater than the parts.

(Some magic must be evident).


Side Mic: The radio a man needs if from far away he would hear the angels sing.

Side mic, sidetrack: I wonder how many of our youth would recognize these few notes in a “Name That Tune” game. It’s a very distinctive hook, but IMO these few notes always seemed wrong for this song.

Unless a man gets himself a Galaxy DX-959 he could fail himself and his brethren when circuitry is not integrated into a well-conceived whole. Uniden and Cobra faded away, left the field.

Side Mic: The radio a man needs in the event he may need to hear the angels sing from far away.

You are 100% right Slowmover! Looks like, right now, the 959 has no competition it is IT.
UNIDEN and COBRA faded away in so many ways:
Faded away from QUALITY
Faded away from SIDE-MIC
Faded away from SSB
What's left???

Put the HAM RADIO, JR. against it:

PRESIDENT LINCOLN II.

The boops and beeps of robots singing endless work-assignment confirmations back to the asteroid belt mining stations. (Syncopated noises in three chords).

Those who took The Jab need maybe a booster or two that the graphene oxide assembles itself as circuitry under 5G radiation in order to join that chorale.

Sing the (new) song of my (new) people.

(“Gate Seventeen now boarding for Ganymede”).


A radio in a class of its own. Really.

That uniden grant is one I wish I would have grabbed when they were available, been on the prowl for a couple years but nada yet.

But....... still ain't no side mic!
Here 828 this is the GRANT LT I was talking about. I emailed the guy and he sent me some pictures. The LT is a front-mic and he said it was aligned and tuned plus a ton of channels!
