LOL! I totally remember that CB. Half the guys at my high school had it.
I saw on of these for sale at a Garage Sale. Asked the guy if it still worked and he wasn't sure. Amazing that Cb's are still about the same price for a good quality one and more
Did you get this off of radioreference?
Any guess to the year and car make? Granada?
Love the wild shirt with the shoulder to shoulder collar. Nice with the jacket too. Had to turn the contrast down on my monitor. I miss those days...clothes with no natural fibers whatsoever.
The CB is classic. Nice find.
All along I thought HDTV was a product of the 1990's... not so I guess... they obviously had it back then too.
Now in days on the CB you can't even make a conversation, because within the first minute somebody will cuss you out or say some racial slurs, and what sucks you'll get the people with some high wattage radios that are pushing like over 2000 watts and will blow you away and have to hear the stupid crap there are talking about.
I heard this one dude the other day which was so stupid he kept saying "WHY" every 10 to 15 seconds for hours cutting in the conversations, talking over people, and he had such a powerful radio that he would blow over everybody.
Then there was this old man also with a strong radio that I heard for miles and kept talking bad about black people for the longest, then this black guy also with a strong radio started going back and forth with him, but that old man just had a powerful radio.
I do like the CB minus the cussing and racial slurs, but other than that I like to hear the drivers debate, clean trash talking, politics and religion are big over the radio, but the cussing and racial slurs I wish there was a way to stop that.
Are you from the south? J/W.
Not that racial-slurs and cussing cannot be found elsewhere, but up here in NY... I found the further south I go (even with just a short-jaunt into the PA boonies) both of those increase exponentially.
We have a guy around here named "Ball-Buster" (truckers call him Ball-Licker) and he gets annoying sometimes [though he sometimes is funny] because all he does is badmouth any trucker that comes on between the times of 4pm-4am... always drunk as a rabid skunk.
But he is only pushing a 50-couple hundred watts at most now-a-days (which is actually technically fairly big), BUT NOW... so many of the big-boys with base-stations walk all over him that he doesn't cause an issue.
I generally find the CB on the thruway and interstates to be fairly entertaining... when it isn't being useful for information... some have rather sketchy 'jokes' and bad mouths, but that is what squelch and the volume button/knobs/dials are for... if need be, the 'off' dial works too.
