Is TEXAS STAR 🌟 Closing Their Doors??? (RUMOR or TRUTH)

LET'S SPEAK ABOUT THESE RUMORS! About Texas Star's Doors 🚪 's closing and quiting all production!

[@jessiec4128]

I am extremely happy to know that Texas Star is continuing. I really like my Texas Star amp. It is working great still. Still having people telling me I sound very clear, and they have a real good copy on me. Those are the ones that are pretty far from me. I never use my amp for locals. But it comes in handy when i need it. Back in the 80s when I was a teenager we had a really good group. We all had CB's in our cars. And we had girls who joined in our group.They had CB's but never keyed up. They just listened. And we did things like helped get their cars with more horsepower. But they never raced anyone. It was just a mild cam upgrade. Us guys, we destroyed out engines. Then had to get another block. The girls cars they lasted a long long time.

[@johnadams-fn4nd]

Outstanding! I need another good mobile amp, something like a 667 this next time.

[@1883GotDown]

I love my 667s but I'm a big fan of the 500. Thanks for stopping by

[@robertmeyer4744]

very good news. also TEN-TEC is back ! new radio soon. antenna tuners ETC. sad about MFJ . woman made most of their stuff as well. The only outher amp company is RM Italy that started in 1970's . Export AMPS out of Italy makes LD-MOS amps and are great. has new US disturber . MTC main trading company out of Texas. Icom has new LD-MOS amp as well. some new CB radios out. with FM and CTCSS/DTS codes. all legal in CB .Look at ABR industries. Woman owned and made in Texas. make great coax like RG 400 and RG 213 and more. 73's

[@1883GotDown]

Cool I didn't know that ABR was made by women man!!

[@robertmeyer4744]

@@1883GotDown look up K8MRD ham radio tube. Mike did a video on ABR in Texas . he with the oner. Shannon. also check out their web page .right on home screen . Woman owned.

[@randegu1]

and i would be super super kewl if they made about 4 or 6 models of glass or steel tube boxes , just a thought

[@backslider893inthebeerjoin7]

I hope they revamp their design to rival Fat Boy and Dave Made

[@1883GotDown]

Well its all how you look at it, you know...in a way they have always been in a league of their own, you know, most accepted etched boards amps in the scene. But wouldn't it be cool to have a Texas star built in an aluminum case with a fan.... wait, there are 4 Texas Stars that way now, but they quit making them....wonder what the future will hold. 🤔

[@johnwaggoner4224]

Like you many of us started with the ole "Real Palomars" and Texas Stars" I started with a Texas Star 250. Then the 667 Then a 667V my favorite amp!!

[@1883GotDown]

Awesome.... yeh a cb store was the ones called loud mouth cb that sold me the ts 667 cause they said it was the biggest u could go with with our upgrading. I juat remember that feeling man of being able to shoot skip wow it was amazing!!!!

[@bblod4896]

One of my early jobs was with a company that built 300 and 1200 baud modems. They were hand built by women. They had better attention to detail. Good to know Texas Star will continue on.

[@1883GotDown]

Yes sir yes sir!!!

[@jasonfrye6473]

Interesting information 🤔... I'll bet more than a few people would like to see a transistor change and it'd be pretty cool if they started offering ldmos and base units ... although I'm sure without making any changes towards current lineup they'd still fly off the shelves.... Thanks for sharing

[@1883GotDown]

Very interesting suggestion!! Very interesting!

[@bunnyking100]

Thx for the info Gatekeeper. I have a question what is a good antenna to use for a 2018 gmc sierra. I want to install my set up in this truck

[@1883GotDown]

Best 2 to pick from is an Mr. COILY or a Predator 10K in my option. Love both! MR. Coily is on FB

[@johnadams-fn4nd]

102” SS whip with a spring from Hustler good RG 213 coax and make certain to ground it well

[@udx-294tn5]

Great news!!! Glad someone stepped up and hopefully they can bring it back closer to its former quality. I have one of the last sweet 16s ever made.

[@1883GotDown]

NICE MAN!!!!! I love the older quality as well@@

[@097-TN-MUD-FLAPP]

Had lot of them My self

[@1883GotDown]

One of thr most popular amps known to man!

[@mr.stonerUDX714]

they have been closing there door for 10 years now

[@1883GotDown]

Lol lol seriously has that been a constant word floating around?

[@Hippie459MN]

I love that Texas Star isn't going anywhere. Great news! I have a 40ish year old TS DX250 that's been treated well over the years and still works perfect. I've had it myself for close to 30 years now. Has Texas Star ever had a web site or any online presence or has it always been only by retailers? Just curious because I have never actually seen anything online directly from them before, unless I've just been looking in the wrong directions. LoL

[@1883GotDown]

On the way back engine you can find one but it was just informational with all their products. Yes they have been sold via retailers only.

[@snippits75]

I ain't greedy. Just want one brand new shiny Sweet 16...with Toshiba 2SC2879 no red dot.

[@1883GotDown]

Man you mentioning that brings up a bad bad bad memory for me. I got my buddy that I am talking about to Build me one from scratch! With all non dots in it....I lost it to a guy that conned me. I let him borrow it and he never returned it. I forgave him but I did not forget!! But yes that would be great and that is actually something that can be done for sure with USED Toshiba's thanks to my side business in doing.

[@CBRadioOperator]

wow ! Bring back the big stuff !

[@1883GotDown]

AMEN BROTHER!!!!

[@jpbrown1963]

Have two texas star. Dx-350. High drive never failed me

[@DonkeyStomperProducts]

Keep me updated. I'm not beyond selling them again. We trade on everything. Thanks for the information.

[@1883GotDown]

Brother me and you have a bright future we'll talk later!

[@randegu1]

i do not believe texas star will ever be the company they once were , that said i do believe there is a solid gold chance they could do bigger better things via the use of todays technology maybe some ld mos stuff . clearly the toshiba days are gone and i am good with that . i just hope they dont go with dei and pp100 crap. 199 florida geargia line...

TOTALLY AGREE MAN!!! hint hint

[@warrenscott9990]

​@@1883GotDown oddly I found something in the depths of the Internet that led me to believe that either there is either a very large stockpile of Toshiba pills left or that production has already started or in the works. Now your "hint hint" kindly reenforces my intuition. Due tell ole GK
