That brand now belongs to RoadPro.
If they have dropped it, the web site is out of date.

But probably not as far out of date as my web site.

I will say it again, CB is a dying hobby. There are very few quality manufacturs left producing only CB equipment(exports don't count because they are not legal). Cobra is now crap from what I have heard and read here, Uniden is all that is left. It might be a slow down hill drop but it is a drop. Hang on to you old grear and learn to make antennas...
From some on the posts on here how can the " Quality " suffer anymore ? It has to get better , I would hope ? Some are posting they receive Junk .
w9 is right ! Time to stock up on wire , pvc & driveway markers to build your own . They work !
If that is all you need, pvc and wire, then why is there such a difference in how each maker's antenna works? Something that simple has to be hard to screw up.. I know I probably could, but still...
Cutlass , I member on here Hobie102 , now GMMM1 , in Vt . Has built a lot of antennas with the items I listed as has many other members . Moxon's are a little time consuming to tune but when right you have a beam for @ 25$ more or less . Myself I have built & used a wire as was suggested to me years back when I joined the forum by Chris ( w9cll ) if you haven't tried it please do ! You will be amazed what you can do for a few $'s . jmo 73 & God Bless , Leo

They started cracking after they became solarcon.
A good beam setup would be nice some day. I just don't have the time or tower available right now.
Cutlass , try a wire horizontal , it will amaze you when Dx comes in depending on it's direction , no tower needed .
Wire antennas work great for DX, they are simple to make and cost nearly nothing. If you want to local rag chew then hang it veritical.
