41chevy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Stopped using a CB here about 1977 when I bought a Motorola two way. Base station for home and one each for the pick up truck and the road truck. It repeater when away when the Towers came down. Cel phones now.

I still have the receipt in the original box in the attic. That was my pride and joy when I was about 15 yrs old. Only problem is I don't use much and when I do it breaks up(can see the meter jumping) some from the points being corroded in the base. I take a piece of paper and drag it through them and it cleans it up. Before cell phones our shop had a Motorola base station to contact our truck. Didn't really use it much, we did re-install it when the new building was built in 1995 but got used even less. Pagers and bag phones were the end of it. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 We still use private band two ways on a repeater. Have to since there still is a lot of areas with no cell service. Had a cobra base unit when I was a kid and talked dad into putting a tower in the back yard for my antenna. Was fun but not enough people to talk to and most of the time the skip talk was always in Spanish. Have a uniden in my pickup still.
