    I have my original Astatic 636L from 2004, it is a great microphone. So much so that I bought another one for my base. They are clear talking and quiet down background noise. You can find them for $25 online sometimes.

    Had an astatic mic on my General Lee, it had issues with static and cracking in transmission, and receiving. I now run only Road King 56 mics on all my radios. Personal preference

    I miss my old General Lee with the 10KHZ switch. I just bought the New General Lee and heard that government has banned use of the 10 khz switches. So if anyone has a radio with one, keep it. I still have my Superstar 158 with all bells and whistles and a 10 khz switch.

    I just miss mine, it had ungodly reach and reception... Not that I ever used it other than when in weather conditions. Not a big CB guy here. But, it was nice to know I could reach out and touch someone when the sheet hit the fan on the roadway. Sadly, few if anyone tells you of the upcoming disasters. Sad commentary, few drivers out here now a days, but quite a few steering wheel holders. C'Est la Vie...

    I will never sell my radioactive General Lee with 1969 finals. I have had more people ask me what kind of radio I was talking on when running it. Put it with my 2x4 amp and I get my name called in DX all day long. It just doesn’t sound as clear with a RK56 as it does an Astatic 636, but it’s my favorite radio hands down.

    I run an old rk 56 new ones are junk or my 636l as far as new I'd go with the 636 cheaper and way better then the new roadking.Rangers 198 seem good but I haven't messed with them much.

    Without drastic modifications, most radios wouldn't be able to handle the wide frequency response of the SRA 198. With a proper tune, it sounds great.
