I always thought the 897 had a really terrible receiver.

k30 works like a charm

How 😮 Thank You Very Much For Sharing, I didnt know this Radio did so many things. I bought it brand new from giga parts in 2012 and Never Used it, I guess I am going to have to use it and get to Learn all the features it has.

Pmr band

Hi it will do the parcel band 446 mhz with mars mode

I've run the Wilson 1000 for years on the roof top of all my 4x4s. Good all around antenna and can take a hit from low hanging trees! I also like the big fiberglass antennas. I've run five foot Wilson Silver Loads and Firestickes, but they are heavy and whip around a lot when out on the trails.

Part 2 I have 2 one to listen other to hunt stations or relay msg

Khz7170 first kbok 9017 second radio used for red cross and incidental hi way use and as back up for club work / search work. Never with out 😊

Great video but crap having to listen to all background noise.😢

Thank you sir. One question. The k 30 is produced by agakull?

Youngin, I did not hear the word Drake, nor did I hear Johnson. But what I really didn't hear was the word Browning!!!! The only radio worth owning on this list was the Robyn ;)

I am rather excited, I have a cousin that purchased the "President Lincoln 2 plus" missing the large print on the box "Amateur Radio". He's a truck driver and by the time he noticed it wasn't the older CB he remembered, lets just say its still new in the box. The other day we chatted about my Tech / HAM call sign and he is mailing it to me. Really appreciate your video, it helped me understand more about the unit and looking forward to receiving it.

Where is the CB radio action ? i live in Woodbury Tn.

Thank you. I scored a cobra cb years back st a yard sale for 20 bucks.I recalled it was s good brand since my dad had 1 when I was a kid. Grabbed it. Now I am looking to make a base station and had NO idea where to even begin. This was a huge help!

I thought 40 meter was non voice.

Does the 897 and 897b both say 897 on the front panel? If so how would I know the difference?

Good list. I grew up during the CB revolution and i have never seen most of those models.

I getting back into it after 40 plus years. I would like a radio with; * AM/FM * Auto-Scan willing to pay more for a quality radio. Suggestions? Right now im looking at the President Walker

And before all of those was Heil, leaves them all for dead.

Awesome I didn't know that.

Wow thanks for the info

Somthing I didn't know! Thanks again, hope you're doing well!!

I found it really hard to hear you, with the music blaring.

2023: President George was introduced. Best of the best. Other than George. -President Walker III: probably best AM/FM radio -President McKinley: best AM/SSB -Uniden 885: best/only hybrid

I'm from uk and enjoyed your video Thanks for sharing 🌞🎙️

What do you know about the Lafayette HB 200 I have one that's been boxed up for decades. Original mike, 8 channel. Inspection tag on the back is March 9 1966

Ahh the days of CB glory i was there as a young teen in the 70s. My best friend and i put up CB and TV antennas, towers, rotors, we even saved enough for our first radios. We both became electrical engineers, CB helped us turn a hobby into a career. Even the movies glorified CB in the day. Today i am an amature radio operator in medical retirement. Give radio a try guys and gals, it can be a great hobby/career!! By the way my first CB was a bright orange Sony Walkie-Talkie (H/T) with 2 watt output, later my first base station was a Teaberry. My good friend Sherman had a Realistic base station.

Fantastic videos

Kraco, Lafayette and Sears CB’s too

Cool video 🙂👍

Great video thanks for making and posting 🙂👍

Do you ever talk about the nato 2000

Others peak powers or dead keys

I still dont understand what half of that stuff means, or know HOW to really USE it

Very interesting. I obtained an M6C chrome version of the original mike. Sounds very similar to the 575. I see they're still selling those original boards on ebay by postage to the UK is expensive.

Gotta love the woodgrain! I have a similarly styled Kraco myself, mine has plastic fake chrome!

+++🤩+++I 🐸🦘WAS INTO CB RADIO🤩 FROM 1977 UNTIL 19877 BECASE I THOUGHT ❓❓❓ THAT IT WAS GREAT 🤣 + MOST PEOPLE IN ADELAIDE+++SOUTH AUSTRALIA 🐸🦘WERE BITTEN BY THE CB BUG+++I 🐸 HAD MANY CHATS ON MY CHANNEL (WHICH WAS USB 27.275 MEGS) AND I 🐸 (PIOMEE RADIO 626) COULD BE FOUND THERE+++👍+++IT USED 2 BE MY (HOME CHANNEL) + I WAS AVAILIABLE ON THAT FREQUENCY+++GONE 😠 ARE THOSE DAYS+++NOW IT'S COMPUYER 🛃 4 ME + I 🐸 JUST (SURF THE WEB 🛂+++OH GEE I CERTAINLY MISS 😢 CB DAYS+++☹

I wish more people were on the air these days & I'm a HAM myself & I like to get on the CB. Whenever I road trip I make calls on my CB just for fun and see if I get anything. Usually on a road trip I get at least 1 person to come back to me.

İ have bought the President Washington and President Himalaya antenna and from the factory it is set to 40 watts. That no:1spot radio TRE gives you just AM. My President Washington gives me AM / FM / USB and LSB. Get yourself a President George II or a Washington. You can even add cooling fans item: ACMD901 and you will have the most powerful rig! 73!!!

don't get a radio without Upper/Lower SIDEBAND ;) just sayin.... if you gunna use it to talk to the truckers and the peeps you have with you in pilot vehicles... then yea, the one without SSB would be fine, but if you gunna wanna sit there int he tracktor out there in the field one night plowing shootin skip... you will want one that DOES SIDEBAND....... hear me striker why would you even put out a radio that doesn't do multibands well not bands, MODES ALL THE AVAILABLE MODES... sigh... this video will problably start to get more new views cuz like SKIP IS ON ITS WAY BACK!!! SUNACTIVITY IS INCRESING that means SKIP IS GUNNA GET BETTER Even... have a wonderful EVERY THING !!! HEAR/SEE YA AROUND!

2k $ for a CB??? you can get an ALL BAND ALL MODE HAM RADIO FOR LESS THAN THAT AND IT WILL WORK 3x at least BETTER!! :) just syaing... but yea... sigh.... pretty sure my STALKER Was a version or 2 newer than that one, I THINK I REMEMBER STALKER22 not 20 ... hummm I should search up the image for a stalker22 and see if that is what I am remememememebering in my head, but eh... already have many tabs open lol

paused... my first cb was a COURIER REBEL23 !! my TEABERRY that was stolen from me probabally is on that list too, sigh... that was a wonderful radio...

I’m confused. What’s the difference between the Stryker SR~955HP & the Stryker SR-955HPC? According to Stryker’s web site there is no difference, but why the different labels?

Hello.... I am new to Amateur Radio and I would like to ask if you would recommend this model radio as my first shack Radio ? Thank You

I have my FT-897D, which I got when it first came out, on the table now. I just got my LDG Z-11 Pro yesterday. This was before I saw your video. I have been trying some functions today and really like this combo. The more I understand this combo. the better I like this. Thank you for this video with a similar setup that I have.

I've got a cb radio and I've got a 12 volt battery and I have the positive to positive and negative to negative. Straight wired in my bedroom in my trailer, I have an antenna I got from Amazon and ran it out my window and placed the antenna on top of the trailer. Everything seems to work except when I connect the ground to the negative on the battery I push my mic to talk but the cb will go directly back to channel 9. I've also connected the ground to a peice of rebar outside the trailer driven in the ground but it continues to do the same thing. As long as I don't hook up the ground to anything it works but I don't get a good reception and I can't get out on my cb.😢What would you suggest because I want to be able to communicate even short distance. Please help me???

STONER WAS THE BEST
