Does anyone have an old CB laying around of some fair quality at a super cheap price. I'm just looking for something simple to hook up here at the house. I still have my antenna on the roof, and I'd like to hook something up. I'll eventually get a radio back in the Dodge. I used to run a fully mod.ed Grant XL with dual Antron coil antennas and a small Texas Star 250 footwarmer. Fortunately I live on a hill, so, it didn't require much to reach out to everywhere on the weekends.
My skip-shooter set up was the same, except I mounted an Antron-A99 to the bed of the truck and lifted it up with a 10 foot section of chain link fence top rail. It was always the biggest thing with the cops that didn't know me, they would pull up beside me and ask how are you doing?, then, what what are you doing?, I'd always reply the same, "talking on the cb radio", Oh?
The younger cops would always find interest in what I was doing and ask a lot of questions, when the antenna questions rolled around, they say what kind of antenna are you using? K-40? LOL. I say, "well my antenna is up there", and that's when the real fun began... "HOLY S**T! I didn't even see that up there! Then the golden question was always asked, Are you that guy Dodgem?" LOL That was always the funniest question.
After about 5 years, I had installed so many scanners and cb units in the cars of the CCSD, they all had handles and talked with the rest of us. I was installing cb unit and scanners at an unreal rate. And to this day, I still get pulled over by the cops, not for traffic violations, but, I always get the same questions, "Do you still work on cb's bud? I got your name from ???"
I just like to find a nice cheap unit to play with for a while and I'll probably get the "bug" and have to jump back in the fire again, I miss it you know, it was a lot of fun to talk to people you didn't know, and most of the time, you made a great friend without ever meeting face to face.
So, anyone's help in digging up and old bone to fire up, let me know.
Thanks.
Dodgem
