CB Radio Talk

Well, a buddy GAVE me a cherry like new (from 1992) Cobra 146GTL and it works as if new. He also gave me a Pace 8015 that probably works but I need a power cord for it. I also recently got a nice MFJ Deluxe Versa Tuner III which is something I have needed and wanted for a long time. Got it (in perfect condition) for $35.00. I also recently got a nice new little KL203P as a thank you gift from another Cbr buddy. .

Great radio!! I've got 2 myself and thinking I need a 3rd for a parts radio. One in the mobile and one in the shack at the home QTH. Got mine tuned 20+ years ago and haven't needed anyone to look at it. Solid dependable radios.

I've got a Uniden President AX144 which is the same internally as the 146GTL. Great little radio, tuned up and she does 15-18+ watts SSB, paired with a RD104E mic she gets out!! I had to pay for mine, great deal on yours!! Can't beat a gift of a great radio.

73s

I'm thinking about sending it to Doc for a makeover. It seems to work 100%. Dead keys around 10 and swings near 20 on am. Around 30 watts on ssb. I would really like to have variable power so I can run my amp though.

I just picked up a Uniden Washington mint with channels and boxed up, mint Silver Eagle boxed, a used and abused grant with channels and a box of misc.

I still want a mint Washington. Great radio.

i just bought a Galaxy 929 from another member on the board here, cant wait to get it!

Just picked up a FT101 and an old Swan radio which is on long term loan. Also picked up a duplicate TRC-458 as a backup.

grabbed a Freq counter, my old HP died so got a Redco RFC50 in great condition for 40 bucks.

Working on putting up a V-Quad, I know it's not much, but right know I'm useing a 102ss whip for a ground plane.

Since I last posted in this thread...?.....A WHOLE LOTTA STUFF!!!!!!!!

That actually works well, 102 is a 1/4 wave ground plane basically.

friend was getting out of the radio, snagged up his old GE SuperBase.

he came by today and dropped off a yaesu sp102 extension speaker:

Recently picked up and resold a Superbase and now buying a unmodded Grant XL for $80

I just won a cobra 19 ltd off ebay for dirt cheap, looks like a mini 29 lol

I got lucky this weekend. A HAM buddy needed me and my truck to clear out a silent keys garage. I got a really nice FT-101B w mic and cable, probably 20 HTs that also included a few marine Hts and a whole bunch of mobile antennas, and all kinds of other stuff. I am mostly interested in keeping the FT101B and getting back on HF and this one DOES do 11m standard!

A dx2517 that has an 8volt regulator circuit issue. Nice shape though.

Had to have the "eye candy" so I bought a near perfect Cobra 2000 for the home office / radio shack

I also got a pallet full of older HTs, most of them VHF or UHF but a few are Marine band, and a UHF repeater, and a passel of antennas and all kinds of stuff.

Got this off ebay yesterday, its the first cb i ever owned, what got me started!

I just traded an old toolbox that I didn't need for a 1996 Shooting Star Plus. I opened it up this morning and it looks factory clean. No mods. It will be awhile before I hook it up though. Need a new antenna before I can use it. Can't wait for that.

Scored a Mirage Ranger RCI-2950 on ebay got it today......Polamar ld 450 recived it Monday

Scored a $50 Galaxy DX 959 on craigslist the other day. Works great except the speaker is blown and it could probably use some tuning. The seller threw in an external speaker and a Maxrad magnet mount antenna. I talked skip to Alabama the first time I tested it... can you say good deal?!?! I also had a buddy give me a 225 watt amp I have yet to try.

Ill give you $51 for it lol, id love to score a 959 that cheap!

Just got three President Grant (PC-409) four-button (8719) mobile radios in eBay last month.

Bought one for the truck....for *wifey*. She hated the RCI 2950 (too many buttons).

Bought another one for the camper and yet another one for parts to fix the one in the camper. Aww shucks man!....I got em all running great!

Now we are up to three!! * *

They ARE excellent units to say the least!! Got em' modded too Schottkey diodes and 2N2999 transistors for the super ears mod! NTE 152 audio transistor mod too. Why not????

She said...."My radio had babies!! *LOL!!*" "Can you get rid of the RCI??"

"NOPE!" I replied in a pleasant tone of voice.
