i just went searching to buy one of these, and no one seemed to have them in stock.

are they not being made anymore?

anyone know of a cb shop with any in stock?

anyone selling one?


thanks for any input,

wow that is crazy!

i wonder if those are real astroplanes?

if they were, you'd think they could get more than a hundred bucks for them.

they dont mention it being a top one antenna anywhere in the ad, so i dont know what to think.

i will call them tomorrow, and post here what i find out.

thanks for the input!

If it works anything like the Avanti Sigma IV, then they are the terror of the neighborhood. They sure look similar; so I'm wondering if it throws off too much RFI like the Avanti?
Will your neighbors hate you for using one?
Good question...
 
there is some confusion about which antenna is which because they have both used the number LW101 in the past.

the "top one" antenna is an astroplane knockoff, which is LW101.
the sigma 4 knockoff is LW150.

i would like to have one of the sigma 4 knockoffs, but cant do it in the house i live in currently.

i knew i should have bought a top one 6 months ago when i first thought of getting one.

later,

Is it just me or does the astro plane look like a dress makers mannequin?

Cajun Invader,
You are being warned!
Never give me a shot at a pun like that, not sure if it'd stand up under the dress. Dress it any way you want, still a nice shape. Not sure I could ever get it high enough though, you know?

If you hike up your dress you'll get out better not to mention you'll stop traffic.:tt1:

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
