- I'm still searching for a perfect example of one of these, but finding this sort of working unit for $2.00 at a HAMfest was a great score. These old 23 channel radios usually don't sell for much, even one's that have SSB mode, but in may cases these are some of the best radios out there.
Built well, and proven to stand the test of time, the Pace brand was a great line of radios from an era long gone.

Hello from Finland.
Good morning sir.
Hi there its raymond nice old radio l remember this radio my first radio was a tokai 5 watt 6 channel hand held and then l got a lafayette HE 20. 12 channel base station with a half wave ground plane up 50 feet it also a lafayette ground plane the range boost 22 foot antenna with radials great antenna l have been on air since 1969 when the skip was brilliant even on am l am in my seventies now and still on c b radio great video the pace was a great brand but still love the lafayette radios
Those Lafayeete radios are wonderful!
Oh My. What a small world Eric. My first CB radio was a PACE 144. I never thought that I would see one again. More power to you young man.
Glad I could bring back some memories to you. Thank you for watching.
I have a 144... Hooked up in a Honda Civic with a K40 (not K30) antenna. Can easily chat 8 to 9 miles in the Ozark hills of Arkansas. Continuly get positive reports. The guy whom tuned the radio for me after I purchased from a pawn shop, even bragged on it... Saying how well it worked. The guy wanted to buy it. I was convinced I must have discovered a true gem. Because he had about 5 other of the same model stuffed on a storage shelf. Thank you for sharing your CB memories and finds.
I love those old school cb’s! I have a Midland 13-882B 23 ch that was made in 1975. It still works as good as the day my uncle brought it brand new back in the day.
sometimes newer is not always better- I do enjoy the older models
Nice CB radio I have a pace 123a
My first radio was a tram d42. Great radio
When I got started in CB back in 1988, my buddy's grandfather gave him a pace 144 and a an old radio shack base antenna to set up in his room. If my buddy hadn't had that radio I wouldn't have had anyone to talk to and may have lost interest in CB instead of getting into the hobby. Thanks for sharing this!
Nice Classic !! They really set the Pace !
I know right
My first CB transmitter was given to me for my birthday in 1975 +/ -.
It was a Tenko transceiver, a 6-channel quartz.
After a few years, my father given my passion for CB gave me a CTE ALAN 747 (now MIDLAND), then very famous, but now practically unobtainable, there are very few images even on the internet. I remember very well that from the privileged position of my home, very high up, from Rome I was able to make QSO with users with QTH in Civitavecchia !!
I remember very well the RTX Pace and the "walkie talkie" you showed in the video.
Good times ... thanks for the good memories you brought back to me.
Ciao.
Glad I could help you relive the moment!
My first fancy cb was a Pace Plus 23 if I recall. 1968
They made some great radios- I am sure it was a good one. Take care my friend
Good video. The Pace 144 was an improvement to the Pace 143. The 143 wasn't a good performer. Pace then came out with the 144 which was a good performer. I was a big pace fan back then. My first 23 channel cb was a Pace 123A, later I purchased a 143 and quickly got rid of it. When the Pace 2300 40 channel came out I latched on to it. My first CB I bought in 1974 I think was a Radio Schack TRC-11 Mini 6B 6channel that you had to buy the crystals and put in yourself. Back then you had to purchase a CB license. Good times.
Drop in on 18am sometime. We have a great group of guys local down here (I'm just outside of Raleigh myself)
Really enjoy the videos. Have a good 4th.
I love to get my hands on some classic American cbs
They are still out there. This one was only $2.00!
I had a Pace 1000b base station with big stick antenna it was really nice unit.
Those were some good base setups.
696 mowoodpecker trying 73s god bless
My first cb radio was a Sears roadtalker 40
Gee Eric....My first was a Realistic Mini 23 back in 75. It was the second generation Mini 23 with the Black and Silver front and black knobs. Everyone would tell me how that little radio bombed in back then. On a stock mic no less!! Hey, we all had our first!
And.....I still own it!
For all the hate they would sometimes get, the Radio Shack CB's were great!
Oh yeah....I agree. The Mini 23's and Mini 40's were built like tanks and were the best sounding radios out there OMO!
I remember the movie Smokey And The Bandit they had a Pace in the Trams- Am.
Yup! I think it was the 122XL, but It's been a while since I saw that movie.
I’ve never seen one in the uk. I would love to get one
I just bought my first CB, from a grandpa off FB... Pace 113.. might be as old as I am? Iol
The Farpoint Farm CD Radio Museum begins!
My dad had that exact radio!
I also believe in the Dukes of Hazzard in either the earlier episodes or the later episodes they had a Panasonic CB radio if I’m not mistaken.
Eric I have one of those Pace radio's. I had mine given to me by a friend of mine. I had the 40 channel version. I did have a problem with mine. It had a bad squeal, all the problem was a rf choke that had a bad solder joint on the built in speaker. All I did was solder it back and it is still working. I have made quite a few contacts on it.
Got 2 old but clean convoy 23 chnl if ya want them. You pay the shipping
Today’s technology is nice (usually) but I sure do miss the more simple days.
Pace made some great radios. My first multi-channel CB was the Pace 2300. Great radio. After Pace got out of the CB Radio business, they still sold some commercial two-way radio's. One was marketed as the Telemobile handheld portable, great performer, until it got damp, it then died. That radio was marketed locally as the Fire Talker, a cheap radio sold to volunteer fire departments, so not a good radio for fire scenes.
I have a 23 channel Pace rig, in a cupboard, here in the UK.
I hope that you take it out and use it some! Maybe I can hear you one day when skip is really going
I have a 143 nice radio.
They sure work well!
@@FarpointFarms Made with super parts and japan 100×100.
I have one. It needs cleaning. My grandpa and my father ran hams (also still has ham cards that they use to collect) and I came across this in my shed that I forgot about. Bought it from an antique place for $15. Came with the exact setup you have shown, pace mic too. I grew with the walking as well, but never got technical with them. Always walmart cobra handheld. Never knew how to use squelch or other features. I want to go further in that now that I'm getting older. What's a good resource to learn? And I can get you pics of mine if your interested to buy it. It does work.
Glad to hear from another Pace owner!
My first cb radio was a Boman 40 channel, no sideband that got stolen out of my car and the cops recovered it and they say they were keeping it as evidence and they never gave me back my radio.... cops...hmmm
This was back in 1978
Awesome video, I have seen the 122 and other pace CB's probably like the one you have, at Flea markets and Yard sales in bins full of other radios 2-5 dollars a piece never bought any figured they didn't work, If I find one in good condition and it's proven it works I'll let you know Eric.
Thanks man!
I inherited a brand new pace cb144 in the box. I’m looking to sell it.
My first radio was a Craig 4201Base, I was 14 years old. I took it to Gerald's Electronics and had it peaked out and put a D-104 on it. I thought I was king of the hill.
And for that moment, you were the king of the hill. I remember the first time i had a radio tuned as well, and I felt the same way.
Getting caught up on videos I’ve missed , anyway , I have parts radios with crystals from that same era , so if you need parts , let me know. I found that diluted white vinegar will clean up those old “crusty” radios But back to the parts radios , I was getting ready to toss them out , glad I saw this first
Cool, thanks Yes, this little thing works on most of the channels, but not all. I'll have to see what channels are out and get with you.
@@FarpointFarms I have 2 boxes of Sams Photofacts , I’ll see if that radio is featured in one of them
Good memories from a simpler time !! I been keeping my eye open for you for one of those in good shape , no luck yet though
Thanks! Just looking at this old girl brings back some great days in my early life. I spent a lot of evenings sitting at the highest point I could find out in Oregon talking skip on this thing. First with the gutter mount antenna and then with that great 102. It wasn't new, and it wasn't fancy, but it worked like a champ.
@@FarpointFarms
Yeah I totally understand that . I have a couple radios like that as well . Especially my modded Cobra 29 Classic. I have it sitting on top of my Galaxy 98VHP .. unless I'm talking skip .. I love that Cobra for local talking , nothing like a properly set up 29 💪🇺🇸
You always seem to have an unusually high noise level at your QTH. You should track that down.
Solar. I have about 2200 watts here at the house that feeds my off grid power. That is the 1 bar higher than normal noise floor. Not really an issue as it goes away at sundown, and I hardly ever have time to play during the day anyway.
Short Wave was blapped today due to a flare.
Lot's of skip, but no Shortwave. AM last night was also not a thing.
@@FarpointFarms The flare was early yesterday morning. 38 LSB is insane right now. Guy here in VA worked Japan this morning.
Hi Eric
Have ever hooked up your Randy FCC handheld radio to your Base Station antenna and see how far you can get out. ?
Love to watch your videos from Kentucky the Bluegrass State .
Sorry if you already covered this and I miss it . Thanks
This might be a dumb question but can i get away with mounting a cb antenna on an aluminum truckbox or would steel be a much better ground
Does anybody know how to tune a pace 145?
can you post this on the forums on my webpage. There are some really smart guys that pop on the forums from time to time

I had one and it was great. Some pace stuff just totally sucks, like the cb 2300, and the pace cb 76 base. Horrible radios
