Those roadtalkers used to be good radios. Remember those, Frank?


I have a few in the scrap heap (bad mods). I even have a JC Penney SSB
model and an identical SSB Roadtalker. I tried to get one of them
working with parts from both. Turns out the VCO isn't designed to
cover bandwidth much larger than the CB (which is probably why the
mods didn't work), and barely worked at all after being 'tweaked' by
whatever moron did the mods.

It's a real shame to see decent radios destroyed by twits who can't be
satisfied with 40 channels.
