Welcome to the official Charlie Tango DX Group CB And Amateur Radio Forum. You are visiting the UK's biggest and most active CB Radio club.. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference. We have members varying from fully qualified operators on the Amateur Bands, to newcomers who have just bought a PMR446 set, and many CBers both old and new. All are equal on the Site.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

Can anyone tell me (I see one of you has one mobile in a van!!!) what you think of the Murphy base station????.I love the look of it ,looks very chunky,like an old "Ham" rig.Its just the name that flings me a bit like a trani radio made by Alba.I remember seeing them in 82/83 and liked them then.......any thoughts would be interesting guys :clap:

Murphy Base Station -

Good points:

Retro Ham-Radio styling
Solid build quality
Built-in SWR meter
Good TX audio
Ok receive

Bad Points:

Audible mains hum at low volume levels
Squelch has quite a "Pop" as it cuts in and out

The original mic was a tiny thing with a round metal grille - not many come with the original mic and something to look for if originality is important.

Cheers

I'm sure you'll enjoy the Murphy - there's something about them.

Looking forward to seeing the new radio in action.

<RANT>

PC, Elfin-Safety, Don't upset the minorities, and all the other limp-wristed, liberal, nanny-state directives are ruining this country (what's left of it). :headband:

Ninety nine times out of a hundred the so-called "Victim" doesn't give a Monkey's and it's all down to some narrow-minded, anal-retentive jobsworth that dreams up all the "Roolz". The "Bird licking the stick" probably didn't feel like a degraded and abused sex-object, she probably felt like someone having a laugh and earning few quid on a photo shoot.
