Bells cb and why...

Well we'll let him think it is, it seems very important for him to live in that delusional World Looney-Tune has painted for him, so let's not try and strip that from him, like I said way back in the OP even if the guy is the best, he's an arrogant narcissist bleep hole that doesn't even return or answer messages , In fact I've come to believe at this point the only way to get a radio out of him is if you agreed to get on the bandwagon of bashing other cb shops with chops and Morgan...

 

In other news I scored a made in the Philippines Cobra 148 GTL in mint condition today!!! with an unlocked clarifier and the old school dual switch extra channels added, one of the guys that talks here locally is going to go through it for me, it's coming from a friend of his in Utah who hasn't used it since he switched over to a Yaesu and started doing more ham stuff, but it's always been a rockin radio! He's a retired Boeing electronics engineer who's been into radios since the seventies , he was the one who set this 148 up originally for his friend in Utah back in the 90's, he also has his own scope thing ( oscilloscope?) and Spectrum analyzer , and a bunch of other stuff I can't pronounce lollll, he only tunes and fixes radios for friends and the locals around here because he doesn't need the money or the headache of customers, it's a Hobby for him and always has been, I know he probably doesn't know what he's doing either but since I got the radio for a $150 and he's not going to charge me anything to check it out I figured I'd be able to talk to the end of my driveway and it would look cool sitting on the shelf at least, he had never heard of the famous Looney- Tune so I sent him one of his "pay attention" videos, he said he could only make it through about 4 or 5 minutes of it before turning it off, he said old Looney-Tune had some valid points but was making one of the simplest communication devices on the planet sound complicated by grandstanding and over exaggerating everything, he also wondered what Lonney would do if he ever had to work on anything that was actually technically challenging.....but that was just his thoughts, I'm just excited about getting an old school 148 again I haven't had one of those in my hand since the 90s myself....
