Radio shops

Is the guy in Webbers Falls across from the Loves still there?

 

Last month when I was at the Ham Radio Outlet store in Denver, I noticed they sold Cobra CB radios. I was a little surprised at that. Of course they will sell antennas, mounts, coax, meters, etc that a guy would need for CB radio as well as for ham radio.

 

I purchased a Yaesu ft-710 radio. I traded in my icom 7300. Their display was okay, it didn't seem as full as the last time I was there. I think it was because they didn't have a Yaesu dx-1200 radio anymore on display since it is discontinued. It was a bigger radio so it took up more room. I mainly focused in on the 710, so I didn't pay that close attention, ha.

 

PFFT!!

What do those ham radio guys know nothing about CB Radio?

they are two completely different animals, and they have no common threads between them other than they have a mic and you push the button to talk.

Those ham guys don't even have channels, they are all over the place.

Do they sell antennas and coax?

Bet these are those old Antenna Specialists they yanked off of cars in the junkyards.

What kind of coax?

That old radio shack rejected stuff they bought at auction for $10 a 1000-foot roll?

 

Surely this isn't true !!! Actually the antenna specialist brand was my favorite CB mobile antenna back in the day.

 

I agree. Unfortunately the local once a year ham fest in my area, are really just a junk fest anymore.

 

Clay has a shop in San Antonio if you get over that way.
