I have CRT9900 which is same radio.. Gets REALLY hot if using full power on radio so i adjusted it inside to around 15 watts peak on SSB and now can use linear with it.

I mean that the power knob is now 1~15 wats max..

Othervise radio has worked well for chinese cr*p..

Leiffi

That is interesting. The CB features look much better than the cassette tape. There are other cb's that were designed that way with the cb channel indicator on the mic, they show up occasionally on ebay. Post a picture of where the mic plugs in. Good luck! Okay, this is the "mic plug".. Not much to...

The cobra 50 XLR http://www.kotinet.com/ari.leskinen/Laa/coopra2.jpg The radio part works fine but i`m missing the MICROPHONE section where is the channel display etc.. Where i can find one of those ?...

Leiffi

Yeah, the original antenna suck

Leiffi

I had some serious Qso to Canada at couple days ago on channel 31 FM....

Pretty bad skip but it went thru still... Anyone from Canada knowing "polar-man" station?

Leiffi

Just boughted Midland Alan 95 Plus handheld cb..

Easily modified it to 400ch FM/AM, listening is GOOOOOOOOOD.. Sending about 4w FM/1w AM.. The longer antenna was optional (better than the original one)

Leiffi

Yeah, my video (old base station)

What`s the song? It comed out loud and clear about ½ hour on that channel 27FM

And i have more videos on tube if you liked to watch

Leiffi

Well, we have "second language" Sweden.. So you are right.. Some % if our population speaks also Swedish but not many % after all.. We don`t have so much amplifier builders because the CB is strictly supervised in here... Only the Italians just like Zetagi and RM Italy makes amplifiers to sell... An...

Leiffi

We also use PMR radios for communicate..

They work on 446 mhz and use only 500mw of power.. we have eQso repeaters for PMR so we talk with those all round our country..

I actually don`t know do you guys have PMR:s

?

Leiffi

I speak Finnish of course :lol: LÄLLÄRI is our nickname for cb.. The correct name is LyhytAaltoradio as = LA (short waves radio).. and LA comes LÄLLÄRI :) The channel frequensies are in Finland: Kanava(channel) Taajuus(freq) (Mhz) 1. 26.965 2. 26.975 3. 26.985 4. 27.005 5. 27.015 6. 27.025 7. 27.035...

I can get 150 kilometres everyday if i wanna on my base ( 5/8 @ 31m)..

150 kilometres is 93 miles...

Leiffi

Well, seems to me that most of you guys are from U.S.A and "other side of the globe" as i am :) So, i wanna know what you think about Finland? How would you describe Finland? What do you think that the life here is? Hit me with your questions/Knowledge and i will say what was right and what was wron...

Leiffi

In Finland it`s pretty small kinda hobby for us.. Back on 80`s almost all traffic on the road was on cb`s but not novadays.. I would say that there is about 10.000 cb:ers and population in finland is 5 million so it`s pretty small circles here but the rest of us who use cb are pretty active on it.. ...

Leiffi

I was on military service by a "message man".. we had all kind of radios there so that`s where i got the idea :D

Leiffi

Yes, they have a "stake out" on road and they were very curious about the antenna on roof.. It take a long time to explain what the cb is.. It`s called LÄLLÄRI in Finland in case you wanna know :) Sometimes i get stopped because i talk on mic when driving.. It`s not legal !!!! But speaking on Cellul...

Leiffi

Very first radio i used was FINTEC FC-220 22+11A FM/AM

Leiffi

AMECOM 45 (modded 54ch FM and more drive power to linear amplifier)
Power microphone
RM Italy KL203 linear amplifier
Sirio Turbo 2000 antenna mounted on Pickup truck..

Leiffi

It`s -25 degrees belov zero (Celsius).. Its a...a...... -13 fahrenheit according to the calculator on net..

Some mild wind and PRETTY DARN COLD

Leiffi

i have plenty of old 22 + 11A channel radios.. They are in hard use around here because most of the calling channels are 7 or 20 FM.. On some areas in finland the calling Channel is 31 FM so you need new Cb-radio for that.. But in the Lapland and so the "old time" radio is used very often :) I would...

Leiffi

If you haven`t tested the FINTEC FC-400 FM radio you don`t know about some **Censored** radio at all

the sound of FINTEC is like an bad running moped in the steel barrel

Leiffi

In europe and so, we use almost 95% FM modulation.. Some rare stations use USB etc..

Trukcers in finland use Channel 19 AM all the time..

Leiffi

From Oulu Finland i have talked in to Spain on Channel 54 AM with 4 watts.. About 3 months ago

Leiffi

I hale liked on mobile use the SIRIO antennas..

Myself have the Turbo 2000 and i have been satisfied on it

Leiffi

Hello..

I have a net link on Finnish "hardcore" Cb-man site but i can`t put it here yet.. There are the screenshots about the equipment of Smokey & the bandit if i would help on finding out what the antenna is... But have to wait now
