Talk about the Madison,,,I have seen a trend toward physically
bigger radios again,,especially base stations, but even the drivers
are getting Lincolns and bigger mobiles.


Over this side of the pond, the Jumbos were quite a cult radio. I
think that the attraction may have been the diagram on the top,
handles on the sides, and the size of the thing. It was so big, it
just had to be powerful :~)
For such a big radio, with SSB, the PSU seemed pretty poor.
I remember the early ones having terrible FM audio, you
could tell people who were using them or the early Multimodes. They
may as well have shouted out on all the channels, "I use an illegal
CB, and I vote"... or something like that.
