Show Your CB Set Up

lol. Rock on brother. Rock on.

 

it's not a "big radio",but here is what I'm using...it's all radio shack and works great...and the radio was given to me for free a few years ago.

Radio Shack TR443 CB with a Radio Shack 5 foot steel whip and a SWR 2T meter.The antenna is mounted on the passenger side,I've gone through 2 coax cables with it on the driver side (yes I left slack for the door opening).It works fine for me I get under 1:5 for a SWR reading and I average 10-15 miles for range.



antenna mount:



from a distance...coax coming through vent window

 

I got a Referbished Galixy 949 from sparkies cb shop for 104$ with shipping. it is a great raido LOUD AND PROUD

 

Yep nice radio good price ....

 

I can't remember if I posted my most current radios but here they are...

The first 3 are a Cobra 21 GTL from 1979. Yes it is 32 years old and still works great. Stock radio, stock mic, never been peaked or tuned, does ok for what it is. I only paid $10 for it. I run it with a Wilson 1000 mag mount. I want to upgrade the antenna to a 108 whip but don't have a suitable mounting place at this point. It's mounted between the sun visors of my 4X4 truck so I don't need an external speaker.

The last two are a Uniden Washington base station, a Philippines built model. It too is stock, not peaked or tuned (so I am told) and does good on SSB and AM. Not a power moster by any means. The only mod I've done is the Skythumper ST65DX mic, only because I've been told I sound better over the air than with the stock mic. I run a Shakespeare Super Big Stick and 50 ft. of Browing BR400 hard line with the base station.

 

NICE collection there TURBO-T !!
I like the OLD ORIGINAL Coffin Style Cobra mics like you have on the 21 !! Nice mics !

Wow some amazing radios guys! How do you learn about these big investments and know what to get?

 

Everyone starts out small ... but radios are like any other hobbie the guy who dies with the most wins ....
