I don't do 11 meters but did back in the 70s before Ham radio. Anyway I shared this video to 56000 maybe they will look around your store and get into Ham Radio also. 73 de KB9HGI
I've been licensed for over 20 years now and once in while you will other hams talk down CB. I understand where they're coming from, but I wouldn't necessarily discourage anyone from buying CB. True, the Amateur Radio Service requires an individual license, but having that license doesn't give anyone the right look down on Citizen Band FRS / GMRS or even MURS. The way we choose to communicate is our business as long as the FCC Rules and Regulations are followed in each service, who cares what radio service you use?. 73 DE K3JCP / WQAI363
My Dad won his first cb Radio in a raffle when I was a kid I was speed racer his radio was a tube set he sleep with the radio on all night I bet he had more QSL cards then any ham he had them hand on the wall with a special holder made for them my self sleep with my Ham radio on all night my Dog could tell you all about 80 meters the wireless mic is very cool billy Bob DEMO the for me with the icon HF Radio well done with the video Cobra CB Radio has the best noise blanker around it drop the s meter back you hear the weak signal Thank you for the video KC6NFV
1st radio was cb in the 70s as it went trashy o moved on to ham radio still remember the good old days ,y first radio was a Lafayette comstat 2B output was 25 watts tunable with 10 xtals for 10 channels move up to cobra 28a later and radio shack with ssb
I STILL HAVE AND USE MY LAFAYETTE TELSTAT SSB140 FROM 1977 AT MY HOME. AND A GALAXY 2547 IN MY OFFICE IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. I HOPE COBRA OR PRESIDENT MAKE A BASE WITH AM.FM. SSB.
My parents bought me the Uniden AX144 in the 80s. They were a great radio. I still have it, but the NB doesn't work (bad caps I reckon) and signal meter has now seized. SSB CB is still the best range compared to UHF public bands (CB), radio to radio communications.
Nice video do still sale the Radio shack tv antenna rotor do a video on one it's remote control it is good for the big cushcraft vhf beam antenna it may work for the A3s or the A4S beam antenna if a person don't have 50 miles hour wind the a3s or 4s are lite weights antenna
You guys ought to start stocking the line of President CBs. The President George FCC puts anything Uniden or Cobra, and the McKinley II FCC has am-fm-ssb just like the George.
If you don't happen to have the RigExert analyzer in the vehicle with you, the SWR meter in the rig will still show you when there's a problem, and help you fix it. All ham rigs have SWR meters built in for exactly that purpose.
jeff I have a 45 watt G M R S radio and the cable you talked about is a intercom box so all four people in your cart can talk to each other while trail riding I am don W R X N 824 mplis minn.
Jeff is a guest on the channel and may or may not see your comment. Not sure which cable you're talking about, but good to know the intercom box exists for GMRS radios. While this video is about CB radios, we have a video on GMRS radios here: th-cam.com/video/iy13a8lOfJs/w-d-xo.html
The biggest barrier to people's entry into the radio hobby, is the fear of something being too difficult. Either the ham radio tests are too hard, or the antennas are too difficult to build or put together properly, or the radio is too difficult to use. If a radio is easy to operate, we'll tell you - even if we sound more like J.K. 🙂
GMRS is great, if you have family members who also want to use radio without having to take a test, but, get your ham license... GMRS doesn't have SSB or shortwave capabilities!
My Dad had the FCC come out to are House his radio put out like 11 watts it was the way he buy the Radio the FCC turn down the power on the Radio to 4 watts he not get a fine he purchase the radio in that condition
Can you please clarify to me what I am allowed to transmit on a CB ready without a license? The 40 original CB channels then how about upper and lower sideband, Am and FM channels in these radios. The Cobras and the Unidens that you are showing in this video can be used legally by the FCC without a license? I'm sorry to ask but back in the day all we could transmit on were the 40 CB channels only. Just requesting as I am reviewing these choices. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks
You do not need a license to transmit on CB, using a CB radio. AM, FM, USB and LSB are all legal, as long as you are only using the 4 watts the radio outputs and are using an actual CB radio (not a modified ham radio). Just buy a CB and use whatever features it has. CB is voice only in the USA, no data modes allowed.
@@HamRadioOutlet Thanks I keep looking back at what is shown. Is there one that has all. CB, am , fm usb and LSB on the same radio? I have GMRS radios with a 30 amp power supply. Wanting to add additional communication without going to all the test and additional expense of Ham. Might you suggest a few options. This will be used as a base with my existing 30 amp 12VDC supply. Thanks
@@raymondkuhne7732 I'm sure they exist, but not in our current line-up, sorry. Well, yes, they do exist... a simple "AM FM SSB CB radio" search in Google produced this link: president-electronics.us/CB-Radios-Ham-Radios/AM-FM-SSB-transceivers We are not a President dealer.
I was looking at purchasing a Bearcat 980SSB but after reading many reviews about the problem with the LCD display I have decided to wait. Do yo know if Uniden has rectified the problem with the LCD display on these units . Thanks for the great videos !!
Sorry, but I really have no idea. I do not believe we get many returns on any Uniden products, so... maybe? A Google search for "Bearcat 980SSB display problems" does not give many results in the past year. Some suggest that it's really an issue with choosing the right color of the background LCD for the time of day/night.
Everyone see the Easter egg at the end? 🙂

Yeah Right who gives a fuck
I recommend the uniden pro 510xl, 520, and my hamshack has a 980 sitting at 38 lsb.. I often look at 38 lsb as a propagation beacon for 10 meters.

Good to hear the old CBs are still working. Shame the same can't be said about your caps-lock key, though! LOL
Guys in Australia will like this video they wanted information on your CB radio

The pc68xl has a mosfet transistor in it.
I worked at a CB/Stereo shop in 1976 thru 1978 as a kid. My handle was Bearcat after the first boxy radar detectors.

We are not a CB store, so we sell CB radios and accessories that make sense for ham radio operators who also may want a CB.
Hey HRO...us cb guys Don't use the old fashion swr meter Anymore.... We use a rig expert 35zoom.... Just about every good CBer now days has one....
Good. We sell those too. 🙂

I've been buying my Ham gear from HRO since about 1990, and NEVER KNEW they sold CB gear!!!!!
We're full of surprises!

These are some outdated radios. You guys must not be a president dealer?
We are not. We are a ham radio retailer, who also sells CB equipment.
Very cool.
You guys are sounding more like J. Kruk - “Easy to- - - - - “

A lot of off roaders are using the small ones.
Maybe demo the side band radio hook up a diepole put it on ch 38 lsb
The video is done! CB sideband sounds like ham radio sideband... just the content is different. ;-)
Ham Radio outlet my hobbies are painting pictures and listening to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my Grms license
GMRS is great, if you have family members who also want to use radio without having to take a test, but, get your ham license... GMRS doesn't have SSB or shortwave capabilities!
I love cb radio! And of course ham radio.
Love cb, still trying to figure out how to set up an antenna in a small suburban neighborhood backyard that can’t go over the roof line.
Put it in your attic!
I ❤ CB Radio
Ham Radio outlet iam thinking of buying a Grms Radio and Grms license my friend or a cb radio
Awesome!
Ham Radio outlet your TH-cam videos are awesome my friend 📹
Thank you!
People still talk on those?
They certainly do!
Yes sir!
My Dad had the FCC come out to are House his radio put out like 11 watts it was the way he buy the Radio the FCC turn down the power on the Radio to 4 watts he not get a fine he purchase the radio in that condition
