    Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow! I've been off the air for about 25 years now, looking forward to it.

      Great radio, it's been performing well. I've had great reports from my contacts. I hope you enjoy your new radio! 73s from 595 Northern Nevada.

    Set the dead key to 2 watts, it will swing to 17 watts on Ssb

    Take all the foam out of the mike! Then the mike will be a talker. Mine is noisy in my truck needs dc filtering on 12 volts line

    Hope to get back into CB soon, hearing it on the scanner a lot and skip is nuts

      Hi, it's a great time for DX and is only going to get better in the next few years. It's a great time to bring out the old CB from storage. Thanks for watching and 73s from 595 Northern Nevada!

    Hows the radio and your 203 doing? No complaints here! Everything is working like it should. The skip was running good the other day and talked to a man in Southern California bare foot, forgot to turn on the 203, I thought that was good. 73s !

      The radio has been working great with the 203. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I made my first contact with this radio with Australia a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend I heard Sweden but was not able to get through all the big stations trying to talk with him. I'm glad to hear you like your radio!

    Nice! The prices are climbing about $15 a month at the truck stop, supplies are limited.

      I got a killer deal on it through Amazon. Brand new for $136.00. Thanks for watching! 73s from 595 Northern Nevada.

      I just got one a few days ago. They are around 195 to 200 bucks now. So far a great radio.

    I don’t miss the shitty receive on this radio that’s why i got rid of mine they are very noisy

    • @RidgeHikerAdventures
      @RidgeHikerAdventures  Год назад +2

      I haven’t noticed a high noise level. My radio’s noise level is usually around .5 dB. I run a horizontal dipole with a linear power supply. I also use ferrite beads on most of my connections. This radio is much quieter than my old Sears Road Talker. 73s from 595 Northern Nevada.
