Northstar CB I got from a buddy who's dad is a trucker. No idea on model # or modifications.
4 Ft. Diesel brand antenna mounted on the truck box. I need to find someone around town who knows something about CB's. Radio crap doesn't know, nor ever have what I need for it. I would like to tune it, and cut my antenna appropriately.
PA speaker (Federal Signal BP100 found in junkyard)

the general lee was stock with 55 watts(basic peak and tune) ...the guy changed out a little transistor or something like that... did not ask what it was called..but saw before and after results and liked it..dont forget this is a 10 meter radio also
the uniden had an echo board put in and is good for 3 watts(only certian kinds do this) but the cb guy called it a super tune for the rest of the power...it was already swinging close to like 30 watts with just a good peak and tune(with the echo board) ..

My Cobra 25LTD is DK @ 4 watts, swings to 13 watts. If I had the limiter clipped, I could swing it up to 28 watts without replacing the final (which is generally considered a super tune). 100% modulation. Running a TRAM Penetrator open coil antenna.

I've got an old Uniden Grant with all the extra's that I bought year's ago new for $100 buck's. Go's above 40 and below 1 and slides inbetween. Key's about 10 watt's AM and swing's to over 30 on SSB. Also have a 200 watt amp if needed. Have not used it in about 10 yrs and need to see if it still work's.
