[Rexer]

chris, yer that would be cool, i will give you beer not sure if i'm going to alltypes yet tho

rexer you really like cb's

Used to be in to them, fired one up in my truck a couple of years ago simply as it had an ariel fitted from teh factory (DAF) and found there was no one using them.
Thought the licence info would come in handy to you guys
Any it appears that you like them more than me as you have one in your van lol :lol:

Ive been looking into this with all the Roadtrips coming up . You dont need to get a CB SWR meter as most new ariels are pre tuned . I.e the thunderpole stainless steel item here

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230401708915&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You can get it cheaper but Not in stainless :mrgreen:

With this CB unit a Midland one

Really good rig, I prefer the older style rigs, like Rotel, Binatone (5 star), uniden and so on.

10 4 good buddys. :lol:

I have just won one on ebay :mrgreen: only need an arial now and im in

 

[Justin & Muttley]

I picked one up at a bootsale last summer and was thinking of fitting it - I'm beginning to think it's a must!!

It's a Rotel and came with a coffin shaped mic, an SWR (?) meter and brand new aerial - all for under £8!! (I later sold the spare SWR meter for £15 - so all good! 8) ).

Just need a mic holder thingy and frame to mount the rig now.

Don't know any of the lingo though - maybe we could have a beginners guide from an experienced CB'er?...

Wow, that looks the business fella! See it's an FM rig, got the 'CB27/81' circle on it but looks similar to my old 'General Electric' AM thing!
The new one I have doesn't have the 'CB27/81' thing on it but am sure that is the legal standard.
Just need to get people actually using them, keep it up mate!

found this lot in the attic, the last time it was used i was in high school 25 years ago. Fired it up and it works perfectly

Ha ha, that reminds me of when I was about 12 and had a General Electric AM rig! In the loft was a metal bed frame (God knows how it got up there :? ) To get a ground plane, that was covered in several layers of kitchen foil on top of which was an upturned Cadburys Roses tin with a 'twig' bolted to it!
The neighbours were really good about it, said the conversations they heard via the telly were better than the programmes! Some thing don't change then...... :lol:
