Hi All,
Recently decided to get back into CB after a short absence (last on in 1982)
I bought a Uniace 200 on ebay as this was the rig I always wanted back in the 80's, but as a 14 year old schoolboy was only able to afford the 100 with my paper round wages of £2.50 per week!
So I did a bit of 1-4 for a copy and also 1-9 and nothing, regularly flicked through all the "windows" and still nothing.
Lucky for me I found Fred in his shed on You Tube and realised all is not what it was! I now have the CRT 6900N and a silver rod and am just getting it all set up in my man cave ready for action!!
Hope to be copying some of you soon. (Be great to have a CT callsign when I do)

Hi Nick,
Welcome to Charlie Tango DX.
CB has changed somewhat over the years and Fred's videos have helped countless people progress on. Your 6900N should serve you well especially with the sideband modes.
