This is a typical post, I only added to it a second time thinking maybe the original poster would return, but alas he is like many one hit wonder song writers, who knows if he even bought a radio.

I can imagine it is typical... Not many use CBs any more. Kind of sucks.

On a side note. I'm slowly getting my base station setup but have a little ways to go. I did run across a used President Washington about 40 minutes from my house for 200 bucks. If he comes down to 150 I may go check it out.

Cash is King! Go flash a hand full of it in his face, and I'll bet he drops the price faster than you can hand it to him!

That's the way I got my President Washington, Cobra 142 GTL, Galaxy 2517.
Most of my gear I have acquired from Amazon or E-bay and most
transactions have been very positive.

Did get one, or two, boat anchors but mostly good stuff.

haha that's the truth!

I may send him a message and see what he knows about it. There isn't a mic in the picture and the ad doesn't mention anything about it. I really need to get my antenna setup in the attic first.

Any Realistic/President/Cobra should fill the bill..all are Uniden Chassies..also all are very easy to mod..

I have a mint Courier Gladiator pll40 ,HR2510, Kris xL-50, Whistler 900 and 700, Robyn sx102, and a nos trc 48 .
My hf rig is Kenwood TS940s. With matching speaker and MC80 desk mic .

[Lost Ram]

The Realistic TRC-450 has a built in speech processor, one of the only few CB's that had one. Its sounds GREAT ON SSB due to this fact. This is likely the best purpose built CB I have owned, still have it, can't seem to part with it. Still in Stock form, never had a reason to MOD it.
Not to be confused with the TRC-451 as it does NOT have a speech processor.

For ssb get a ham radio. Older Icoms Yaesus etc at A hamfest are a great buy. Just make sure it's easy to get on cb freqs. LOL some just have an internal switch like the FT757.

[tgbrail]

I have a Kenwood TS940s, matching spkr and the mc80 desk mic . 100 watts . And Trc 48, Courier Gladiator pll40 and HR2510 .

[preacherman]

Have had many ham rigs...favorite was either an Icom 735 or a Yaesu 980.
Great filtering and ssb audio. For AM talking a Magnum S9 or a Stryker.
I like modified Cobra 29's if I'm driving something with it. Can be made
to sound very big and clean.
