Hello gang, I am remembering my hobby of some decades back with President Lincoln CB Radio modified for CB 40 channels, it seems I can't find a online store where I can get one already mod for AM 40 channels.........I also had Ranger 2950.....TP

They dont mod them anymore for 40 channels, they all come stock with 40, and bestbuy dot com has them.
Code:https://www.bestbuy.com/site/shop/cobra-40-channel-cb-radio
Then I'll have to buy one and mod it my self, I prefer the upper and lower side band functions that a normal CB radio doesn't have.........TP
Then you want a Cobra 148 GTL, it has USB and LSB, and I cant give you links to the modded ones as I'm a ham.
This is the closest to the cobra, the cobra model you mentioned is discontinued.......check the info if I'm wrong..........TPCode:https://www.bellscb.com/products/cbradios/galaxy/galaxy_959-B.html
The Uniden Bearcat 980 is a good one.
And too bad the Cobra is discontinued, it was a very good radio.
And after looking around I find the some CB radios now come with FM modulation, man what a change.
That is why I loved the President and the Ranger 2950.........TP
A friend of mine uses the Anytone AT-5555 for the same things that you have posted about and is impressed with itQuote:

The Good info, but the Anytone AT-5555 is a 10 meter ham band radio, can't be used on CB frequency's.Quote:

My first radio only had 6 channels, and to change to other channels (other then the 6 you had) you had to change crystals.
That is an oldie, I forgot about those, good hobby back in the day, I used to have a penetrator 500 for antena, I guess I will make my own this time.........TP
Had a browning eagle with a nice 100 watt linear amp
moonraker antenna
Made contacts to as far as europe back in the late 60's early seventies from the east coast
That is what I love about this hobby, the contacts we make, I made a few but it was in the beginning of the 90, I was born in the 70.........TPQuote:
