I havn't bought a Uniden radio since. If you buy another uniden,
don't get anything less than 68 or you'll be sorry.


Unident radios are great. Those are just the bottom end. I have a Grant LT.
Incredible receiver for a CB.

I've had old Grants that walked the dog. Are the new Grant any good?

That ancient Galaxy? That was actually for a ham friend. I was acting like it
was for me, because I would have purchased it for him. He didn't have internet
access or ebay account, or something like that. He ended up getting Ameritron
AL-80A. Seems this is a good amp. But I know little about HF ham amps. So I
inquired about it.

Well, mine is the same as the Grant XL/Cobra148 Phillippine version. So far so
good. Great receive. Mind you, mine was new and not hacked. The only thing I
have done to it was unluck the clarifier. No other mods.

$285 plus shipping.

Don't know anything about it. The reason I had inquired about that Galaxy, was
because the solid state amps were in the neighborhood of $1,000-3,000. So when I
inquired about the Galaxy, it was about $200. It took off from there. Luckily,
many hams came posted to stay away from that amp. They said there were cheaper
alternatives that were better.

I think that Ameriton was a single tube radio. Highly recommended by hams.

As far as the Dentron, I use this site on eham:

There are Hams indivdual reviews, and I find very useful.

Yea that's a good review sight I've read up on a few things on there over
the years. I'm not in the market, still have the 30 L1 that I hardly use
much anymore. I also have a kenrich 515 that I think is a similar
configuration to that galaxy you were speaking of. It's been mothballed for
years along with the browning mark IV, it has the veneer on it to resemble
the browning.
