CB Radio Talk

Have a Predator 10K inbound from G.I.Joes. Wish there was tracking. I'm replacing the Wilson 1000 Mag mount with something that works with a custom mount I had made for my old truck and finally put onto the new one.

a itty bitty external speaker from Astatic. surprised me on how loud it is for what I need it for. does a fine job. looks a lot better than a large one mounted on the dash of my vehicle.

TYT MD-380 DMR handi talkie. Didn't program it yet but it is supposed to link me to all the locals and all over the world. We will see if that is true later. Looks like a nice rugged radio.

I just bought PC68LTW 40 Channel AM CB with Weather Channels.

I purchased a new Yeticom Optima Mk3. A sweet little 50 watt 10,11,12 meter radio.

Added another icom 2300 to the semi. With a cobra 29 night watch sound tracker pushin a few extra watts.

Astatic 600 Meter and 5 element beam with 40ft tower and rotor.

A Breedlove 1inch diameter mount requiring a 5/8 inch hole to mount it. I have some tuning issues that I need to resolve. My custom mount is back at the fab shop I got it from to add 8 inches to it to put my antenna at cab height rather than dealing with reflection, and bonding and grounding issues taken care of.

Finished building my mobile, I'd say it's "new" equipment lol. 2 hitting 8 smacking 16, all Snowman Built. 8 optima red tops, all zero gauge plumbing, 250amp alternator, quick change antenna system, dual birds, Cobra 29 LX Snowman Built. I'll snap some pics

sounds awesome

Bought a 5 element Jo Gunn beam and 40 ft tower from a guy getting out of the radio business.

Small item. A Top Gun CP-1 audio compressor. Not sure what ya'll think of them, but I like how it sounds. Installed it into my Galaxy DX959 using the resistor that comes with it now. Set up my Cobra 29LX in the apartment to receive while video recording. Drove a mile away, played with different settings while calling out what they were, went home and viewed the video to optimize my settings with it installed. A fun after work project today.

Pyramid/President CB-1000 25 watt external speaker. Haven't got it yet should be here by weeks end.

Tax return checks are "Fun Money" right? Ordered a RCI 2970N4 with a few mods. Of course, that means a new alternator and things for the mobile are needed. Where does it end? LOL!

Have had this a while but just got picture savvy. Crystal International Executive. Stock mic. Old girl works good has has a 23 channel selector added to it instead of 12. From 1962 great old radio.

Have this for quite a while. Was a pig in a Polk when I bought it. Couldn't test was from a silent key here locally. It didn't work and back burner-ed it because figured was gonna cost a lot to fix it. While back had a few extra bucks and shipped it off for repair. What a delight came home fixed up great and with minimal cost. My antenna switches are only rated a kilowatt so keep it throttled back. 35 watts keep it around a kw. Great amp, first metal tubes Ive had around love it.

A few new things TS-570d needed work an advantest SA and a R&S generator

Bought a new cobra a year ago getting back into CB. But since then I'v been having fun looking for great deals on second hand stuff. Second hand but good to excellent shape. Most the stuff you guys are showing here is way beyond my pay grade (or understanding) but I found a nifty little unit the other day and It's really come in handy. It's called a Land Matic microphone tester. Some guy had it from an estate sale or something and let me have it for a good deal. Like I said, I've bought a number of radios the past year and making sure they all work good isn't always easy. I had a great Cobra in one of my trucks for 6 months and it seemed to be fine but when I ran two trucks up to a job, I ended up listening to it for an hour and it was way over modulated. Pulled it out and replaced it but never knew what the problem was. Anyway, got this mic tester and tried out that mic first. sure enough the mic was the problem, no matter the volume, it just splattered and fuzzed up everything. The tester is a small box with 7 female jacks covering the most common mics out there with a small amp and speaker (or you can use an external speaker). It's just like having talkback but you can test all your mics from all your radios. In an hour, I found 5 or 6 bad mics that were scratchy or very soft or would break up or squeal. Unless you're using a talkback radio, you never really know how you sound unless someone tells you, and few actually do, they either put up with the noise or ignore you. So, it was a great little tool to add to my equipment.
