No, K40 is not an over-achiever in the CB radio antenna business, but, Wilson used to make them all colors of the rainbow. I was at a truck stop in Pennsylvania a few years ago and I almost fell in the floor, they had red, blue, green, yellow, pink, purple, orange, and I think brown. But, I think these days Wilson only makes them in black and white.

But, if all else fails I do have a 36" fiberglass whip brand new in the package that I ordered for some dude and he never came back for it, so, if you need a good cheap antenna, give me a shout. But, if you insist on something in particular I can order one for you, wholesale plus shipping.

I'd hate to post a price here, for gods sake someone might think I was posting a classified ad or something silly and feel the need to ban me or whatever, so, just email me for the price, it'll save me a lot of hassle getting a new IP address so I can come back here with a new user name if someone happens to be PMS'ing today.

No, not particular. I was busting the wife's chops by threatening to put the cb in the minivan.

The antenna you have, will it mount to the magnetic base I have?

My dad was KPN8652 The Peanut back in the 70's-80's.

When Crabcake moved south, I helped her load up and move out, she gave me a CB radio that she no longer wanted. Has a magnetic antenna mount (without the antenna) and runs off a cig. lighter plug. I'm taking the kids to Grandma & Grandpa in Georgia in a couple weeks. Gonna have to buy a new antenna for the Crabcake radio and treat the kids to the sounds of the highway heading south.

Boy will that bring back the memories.

I have a whip here for a magmount WILSON 1000. I dunno if it will screw onto whatever you have. Maybe Dodgem250 can answer that. I pulled it off my truck about a year ago and struck it in the shed. I have since pulled the CB and Linear out and very seriously doubt I will be putting it back in.

It's in fine shape. No corrosion on/around the set screws at all.

But it's here if you want it. Free. I live in the Lexington Park area if you are in the area and want to drop by just PM me for directions.

Competition radio? 'splain please.

P.S.
I'm gonna try out Jeff's antenna for my trip south. Depending on how it works out, I may contact you about the antenna you have.

Key Offs

Two people sit on the line and repeat a word, a tower a distance away says what he heard and that the winner.

Just a low dead key :confused: I like to have mine where I can adjust it, especially when I was going to Key Off. Crank up the Voltage bump up the dead key a little. Been so long now but I think I ran about 150 bird dead key out of my 3-pill for normal use then crank it to 175-200 when it came time to hit it. I would usually run at 18.5 volts, when it came time I would mash the gas and turn my reg up and push about 20-22 volts to the amp. :drool: I miss those days

Very good eye. That's the picture of my Galaxy Echo-Roger beep desk mic. LMAO! Remember the old Sadelta Echo Master Plus that everyone used to have, well Galaxy owns them now. But, I am really delighted that you took the time and interest to post a picture of the blue LED i put in to back light the meter, I didn't think anyone would ever care, you make my day! LOL

I posted the picture simply to show that you can have the option to install an LED to back light the meter, I get a lot of that sort of dress up stuff, everybody wants LED's, so, I have thousands of them in stock now.

Yeah some guys like to have variable power, some want it set to a specific level, everybody has their own preferences I guess, but, I always go back a set it to what ever they want, but, most of the time, given the experience in what everybody prefers, I usually don't have to change anything. If they prefer to have variable, then I warm up the Weller and get at it for no additional charge.
