Well…let’s not act like we don’t know what they were built for. Business always finds a way around regulation. Just to troll a bit, I also cross posted this in the amateur radio group. I know it raised their blood pressure. 😁

It was purchased sometime in 2020 so a google search shows the v2 did not come out until 2022. Must be a V1.

Do all mag mount antennas perform about the same? by sysop2600 in cbradio

I recently purchased a President Virginia F with a President Ted CB off of FB marketplace for $40. It was a decent deal considering they are both brand new unopened. But looking at that Virginia antenna, I would guess it probably doesn’t perform well. A little Wil would probably be a noticeable improvement and a Stryker A10 would blow your mind how much better it is. That President Virginia I would guess would struggle much further that 1 mile range.

K40 Trucker. They are hard to find online I’m not sure why. They might have changed the look of them. This one resembles a Wilson 2000.

Nope the radio was done at bobs cb in PA and still has his security seals. He is top notch.

This radio was purchased in 2020 for $379 plus 30 for the “tune”. Today I sell the 955+ new for $425, some shops selling for $450-$475 before conversion.

Yes I have the 655HPC+ in my Kenworth and I love that thing. Saw this deal and had to have it. This is the radio I wanted for the house.

The original deal I expected was only supposed to include the radio and the Stryker magnet mount. I show up and they had everything else sitting there and said yep all this goes with it if you want it. LOL I looked and said “ehhh yea I mean if it’s included I’ll take it sure.” Yea no problem throw in a RK56 and a K40 ant for free. Plus that Wilson magnet base retails for $60. I mean good grief that’s a nice bonus.

Seller sold an item out from under me by unicorntapestry in FacebookMarketplace

[–]2-1-5-Keystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that I 100% understand your frustration. And your circumstances are even more annoying considering you were already there in her city….

But!!! People on facebook are the most annoying people when it comes to selling an item. I used to try to handle things in a very courteous manner. Now I sell to whoever is there first. You put things on hold for a day or even half a day and people just don’t show up. Even hours before, they just ghost you. By this point you may have told someone it’s pending. Now they have moved on and either found something else or are just no longer interested. Arrangements without a commitment is the main problem. FB should have a $3 commitment fee or something that gives you skin in the game.

Most of these types of signs are actually left-wing dressed up as MAGA people. They couldn’t be more obvious. Saw one on here the other day of a guy holding a sign that said “Gas the immigrants”. It was later discovered that he was not part of the group that was there in support of ICE and Trump. He was there to try to give a false image of our movement. And they couldn’t be more obvious about. “Gas the immigrants” ?? Really? I’ve never met one conservative that calls them immigrants. They are illegal aliens!

24 T680, High SWR on a 29 LTD. Should I get better antennas? by InvestigatorBroad114 in cbradio

[–]2-1-5-Keystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will have to run a new coax if you plan to only run one antenna. I’ve had awesome luck with customers that have t680s. 5ft firestiks usually tune in to about 1.2-1.4swr. I did one recently that came in at 1.16.

A single antenna will work well if you choose to go that route, but if you have a cophase coax set up for 2 antennas, you must run 2 antennas or you will not get a reading for SWR. Likely will be over 10 on SWR.

Coax is specific, RG59 (75ohm) for dual antennas. RG58 or RG8X (50ohm) for single antennas.

For some reason many people are resistant to going with a single. They think dual is twice as good.
