Subject: CB Radio Recommendations
From: (I Am Not George) Date: 6/26/2004 1:35 PM Mountain Standard Time Message-id: I use a Icom 706MKII-G and set the memory channels to the 40 CB channels. This way it's easy to stay on channel and change channels while mobile. For an antenna..I use a 102" stainless-steel whip on a ball mount. Get pretty good signal reports. thats illegal and stupid to use a $700 radio for one band but good choice of antenna I'll second that opinion. I always laugh when I hear operators on 38 LSB say they are running a Yaesu, Kenwood, or Icom rig on 11 meters. Why spend all that money to talk on one band when a $200 Uniden, Cobra, or Galaxy will do the job just as well as the high priced amateur rig? For what it's worth, I use an "old" (early 90's) Uniden PC122 and a five foot Wilson Silver Load for my mobile setup and have no trouble getting out. And you need no special equipment to properly tune a radio and antenna for SSB operation. Just make sure you have the mode switch on your radio set to AM when you check your SWR. 73, David |
