Help please
Long time ago I used a CB on the road in my car.
Today,I am looking for info on a top of the line unit and/or a side band unit. I never had a SB but I heard they reach out. I live in Mobile,8 miles from I-65,16 miles from I-10 and 3 miles from U.S.98 I am a amateur so be easy hub http://www.angelfire.com/la/hubno/index.html http://www.lucianne.com |

Thanks,I have a Midland with a 4 foot magnetic antenna.Works okay on
road at 2 miles. I want a SSB for the house with a 12 volt hookup so I can use my car battery for power. You know,if the police & rescue units in La. had had CB's they wouldn't have had a problem with communications. In Ga.they use to have them in patrol cars. hub http://www.angelfire.com/la/hubno/index.html http://www.lucianne.com |
Unidens are good, older non chineese cobra's.
Midland has a ssb unit with removable faceplate, scan... The Midland is the only smaller/recent/full-feature ssb unit I know of. The only other small ssb, that might be comparable to the size of the am-only unit you might have had before is the Uniden PC-122 xlr. Someone else here might know if there's anything smaller to fit a modern car by Ranger/Galaxcy etc. Personally the Midland peaks my interest. Actually for my car I've got a dirt cheap mini am-only hooked up to a 5ft Francis whip. and a "Ham" 2 meter rig. Now if you are looking for a CB for your house the sky is the limit... I'd go for a large mobile type rig like a President or a large Uniden or Cobra, etc.... or maybie just the Midland with all its features and an external speaker. Glad you didn't ask about antenna's, that would be a whole other subject:) Basically you want to either drill a hole in your car or use a trunk-lip mount, with an unloaded whip, bigger being better. For the house there are many options, I've got a full wave loop hung around a wall indoors here, due to restrictions. One or 2 of these outside would be great if I could-- one oriented N-S and one E-W... The ultimate is a rotatable beam up in the air. Never had one but have talked on one.......... . . . . . . . . . . . ir hubble wrote: Long time ago I used a CB on the road in my car.

That's right, they would be shooting skip, and firing up the Linears.
