morning everyone. My name is Tracy Morgan aka SharkyRivethead. So.... I'm about as new as they come. A couple years ago I picked up a couple old school handy talkies at a goodwill. Brand new and 10 bucks for the pair, well, couldn't pass up on the deal. But then they sat around for a while in the garage. Then about a month ago, I started playing with them with my girls. I figured I would show them how they were used and the proper etiquette. Then my interest just grew. As of now, I have a Cobra 2000 base unit, radioshack pro 2050 base scanner, a htx 202 and 404 hand held 2m. I'm also studying for my tech lic. The Cobra unit is heavily modified. It goes well into ham frequency. But I don't mess with that or venture to much into the freeband area. Though I'm finding out that there ain't much going on in the cb world. (Luck I only paid 150 for the cobra) In any case. I felt it was necessary that I learned about the radio waves. Like a lot of other folks. I feel that the poºh is about to hit the fan. I don't want my family being left in the dark. (Don't get me wrong. I'm not a preper or anything. But it's hard not to feel like there is a lot of tension in the air) Other interests are modding (kit bashing ) home audio/theater enthusiast, collector of to many things and gamer.....which is kinda a joke. Because at 43. My |

Awesome! 2CT114... I like it. Kinda has a Star Wars Stormtrooper ring to it. Thanks to everyone for the welcomes and warm wishes. After last night, I can see my next post will be in the "need help" area. Was taking the girl out for a test run. (now that I have the antenna mounted on the roof) Only to find out I'm hardly, if at all, getting any received signals. So, off I go and thanks again. |

Welcome to the Forum Tracy. You will find that this is a very interesting Forum. There is much to read and learn here! Cb radio is quite different in the UK compared to the USA. I learn something new each time I visit here. The people are very friendly and the Forum is well managed. I hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do. |
