love the back and forth with the wife 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been a Trucker 43 years. I’ve had CB radios since they came out in 75. I hate to say this but YOU’RE A DORK!

fk yeah luvu...got do something..cant blame him..this was classic

Passed my tech exam Saturday feb 1st-2025- Now studying for my general. KR4BBK. Bought a new 991 today :-).

Ive been trying to sell my Yaesu FT DX 400 but after tinkering around with it and maybe letting just a little smoke out Ive fell in love with it. Something about the tubes flowing mesmerizes me. 73 KN4QQF

4.0 engine, what size bolts for the starter?

Is it back lit?

Why would you buy this for cb or ham Radio and not an Ft 891 or 875D or IC 706 or somewhat? You would get much more bands and versatility...

I’m new to GMRS, paid my 35 bucks for the lic last Xmas and got a set of retevis rb17p for a trip to Central America, super useful. Just bought a Wouxon kg905g and replaced the antennas, Nagoya, for all of them. Already have a few repeaters set up in case we get hit w more fires and floods out here. Got my eye on a 50w gmrs for my car too. It can be pretty addictive, I’ve been reading and learning as much as I can. Cheers.

Does this only use UHF? I have an Anytone 578 and would like to the 2 meter bands also. Is there such a thing? Thanks Alan

Swan LOL - Ham Radio is a mental disorder.

Bro, this is one of the best videos I’ve seen to motivate us newbies to the hobby. There are plenty of videos on how to pass, but not much on what you can do as a technician. You got me all fired up to get on the air! KK7YVL

I hope you can help me. I’ve got 102 inch steel whip. I’m about to put up on a about 30 feet in the air. Do I need anything else to do with that? Just put it up there and talk or do I need a ground plane type thing that I don’t know what to do. It’s been 40 years since I’ve been on the radio. I’ve lost trackif you know what I mean I mean, I used to talk every day night morning whatever when I was a teenager, but I know things are different now can you please help me?

I love everything 6 meters!

You can save the calibrations. Awesome

Great video on Olivia. Thanks for information. Can I ask is it possible to do moonbounce on olivia? I am planing to make a academic research about written data transfer EME using Olivia for aerospace medicine.

Thanks for the review, I just placed an order for the Stick Pro. Thanks again.

Great video ! Got my first CB at the age of 14 in 1976, mounted it in my moms 1972 C20 4x4 with a 102 whip. I spent countless hours sitting in that truck talking and making friends, my handle was Crazy8 and met my first girlfriend on that radio she was HB. They made a movie back then called Citizen Band, it was filmed on location at my high school and surrounding areas in Marysville CA. Many of us were extras in the movie unfortunately my scene never made it to the big screen but some of my friends did. Thanks for bringing back some memories, good times !

Do you have a best compact cb video

COOL

How do these radios check out as far as spurious emissions?

Mine was "bottle cap"

Cb is nostalgic for me. My story os the same as yours.

Hi, could you explain in detail the other items that appear in the menu after a long press of the EMG button? I mean: • Cdtset OF • Keybp OF • Rfpow LOW • Scm 59 • Hicut OF • Micset 06 • Mic tp EL • Vox L 03 • Vox t 04 • Talk bak OF • Anl / nb on • Repset OF • Rfgain AU • Rog bp 04 • Color OR • Bright 04 • Totset 01 • Ru - sk OFF • Bndnam d • Emg 09 • Emg 20 • Reset thanks

Well, they don’t make them like this anymore.

I have often wondered why major mfg don't do all in one transceiver's with built in digital modes.

Nice to see that this old rig still works on RX

I've owned and regularly operated one for over a decade. Managed to collect the external speaker, digital display model that includes channel display, frequency counter and watt meter. Great old boat anchors. Is that a turner +2 you are using? They sound better with a good non amplified d104. Contrary to what others say,you can use it on AM and make it sound ok. Trick is to set carrier correctly and keep mic gain down to between 9 and 11oclock. And higher on the mic gain and your audio will distort severely

Going to Hamcation this year?? If so can't wait to see what treasures you bring back!

I bought a midland 75-822 last year . Chk. It out cool ass radio for or ccar dubs as a mic for the car ....plugs into cig lighter, with a good tuned antenna your ready !! Just talked to someone with a million watts yesterday and i was on mobil with rechargeable batts. He heard me just fine and i heard him crystal clear. Chk. The Midland out its a nice radio

Nice! Real radios glow in the daak.

Seems like a a fun project and a great radio. I definitely like the sound on receive. KO4HPC 73

@2:41 I was hoping you would mention the Siltronix radio I inherited a 10/11D like yours I was wondering if you would do or go through a plate tune warm up or what you need to do to tune a tube radio before use

Remember when you bought this !

Love your system and setup! Got some questions for you. Great job keeping radio on the you tubes and showing how alive and well it is!

CB was on fire in 70’s!!! My dad ham station doing cb! Had tower doing skip baby!!!

Great old radio . all alignment data is on line for that and voltage charts . All but 1 tube is easy find even new . that uses a 8950 output tube. getting hard to find. Yor are most of the way to working great . That will run in 12VDC as well but like 30 amps. That radio will keep you warm on a cold day ! 73

Love mine. I use only for vhf/uhf. Ive got a ftdx101 for hf.

It was great

Nice to see the old girl on the air, not Michelle she is a young thing, but the Siltronix. I hate "Jones plugs" like the one on the rear of my Ameritron ALS 500m, I'm sure it would like to drink from a bigger straw.

Looks like Michelle did a great job on that microphone. KO4HPC 73

Nice old radio i have a drake tube with a separate vfo ..i had made a contact years ago was a cq contact with the books.. forget model it is tr3 ???

I've talked to him on 11 Meter. I enjoy or chats with Andy. Thank you. You have a new subscriber. Beautiful radio. It looks like i used to talk as a kid. 73s

the old girl still heats up the room and yhe coffee!

I own one of these that a Friend restored for me in the USA, I also have the external VFO and counter , plus a Astatic D104. Great video Eric , thanks from England Dave M0OGY/26AT025.

Thanks for making this video. I will be buying one of these and I was very courious about Wires X. That stuff is a bit of a mystery to me.

Looks like a good Skywalker buddy.

Cb is for truckers😮. Gmrs everyone else

I bought one at a garage sale. Sold it at a swap and shop 3 months later.
