10-Meter Radio Help Needed

I have no intention of dragging this out into a debate. I simply meant that these radios are not what they are made out to be. More power does not always mean a better radio. Signal purity is worse and the bandwidth adjustment of the unit cannot be brought into compliance unless running only the required 4 watts. Audio quality of the purpose made CB sets can be had by connecting an external purpose made communications speaker. I would, however, agree with you on one point--the construction strength of some of the Uniden and Radio Shack CBs out there--especially the Radio Shack ones are so flimsy its a wonder they survive use.

 

i wonder who will put out the first CB radio using SMT ? the 2950/70 and 257 us it and are very respected by those looking for a clean tx and rx . the cobras didnt do so well though . new technology doesnt mean better without proper R&D . i guess ranger/RCI will get around to it sooner or later .

 

I guess the Pilots that I go into are different?
They sell Cobras, Galaxy and Uniden. Maybe it's a southern thang.

 

Yes, Pilot sells LEGAL Cobras, Galaxies, and Unidens. They USED to sell "exports"-----------until FCC FINED them $125,000 for selling them.
Pilot, anxious to settle the matter, negotiated a settlement of $90,000 and agreed not to EVER sell the illegal, "10 Meter 'amateur' (yeah, right) radios" again.

Hey Rooster73, please keep this forum up to date on how it all works out. I have been talking to radioactiveradios and have not decided on whether to buy from them or not. I would like to know how your friends radio works out, once he gets all the bugs out and all.
thanks,,,

 

####! I am new to radios and I just want a powerful one, so when I talk I can be heard and I will be able to hear the other operator for a few miles more than what I get on my cobra 29 right now. Why can't you just try and be more respectable there Bobcat1958? I surely don't want to step on the "hams" shoes but maybe I might if I don't know any better. As far as I know, at this time, you can only set up a 10m to operate as either just a CB or on the 10m band? If I am wrong than educate me, and the others.

 

Bravo! that is what I am talking about.

 

I have a Cobra 29 nw wx st, thinking about "customizing" it, got any idea's? What do you think about the Galaxys, maybe a 48T?

 

Well said comrade,
