I think you guys miss the point...

There is nothing special about a cheap CB radio..
It is only worth what the market will support.
It doesn't do anything especially well...

A old tube type Johnson Viking Valient will do about 275 watts AM on 11 meters and a thrifty person could probably find one at an estate sale for less then $500.00

A new Kenwood TS 2000 will do 25 watts AM or 100 watts SSB on 11 meters all day long..

Most any amateur radio equipment can be modified to operate on 11 meters - ( CB ) so why waste money on a cheap CB radio piece of crap...

The only reason why someone says that it is worth anything is because they do not know any better...
A CB radio lacks proper filtering to take away most of the AM noise that most people who deals with the cb radio AM crap has to put up with...

A Kenwood TS 590S - is a little overkill at $1800 new, but would run circles around most anything ever made for 11 meters only!

I think *you* miss the point, Channel Jumper.

First, the Uniden HR2600 is NOT a "cheap CB radio"; it's a 10 metre amateur radio.

Second, the original ad was placed in 2004, so it is most likely NOT available today.

Stop pontificating and read more carefully, CJ.

The original post (offering the HR2600 for sale) was dated May 2004! That's 8 years ago, not 4. Geesh!!

Please stop pontificating and pay attention!
