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 I use a Kenwood 751 on 11 and also listen to some of the idiots on the 'amateur' bands. Didn't spend a dime for the radio. Those operators who have the high priced rigs may use them for something other than checking road conditions. Speaking of which, does 19 have an equal on the amateur bands? (Not counting those asswipes who use 10 meters over the road). |
