MY CB Setup
I have two Base radios. One is a old tube type 40 channel Shakespeare74 with extra frequencies
from 27.4450 to 27.5850. It has an old Turner AM/SSB power desktop mic. I also Have a
Realistic Navaho TRC 23B base that I bought for 30.00 off of my uncle. It is just a 23 channel with
a regular stockmic It is a nice little radio for use talking local. I run these on a Solarcon "ANTRON
99" that is about 51 feet in the air.The antron blew over this spring in a storm and busted the top
section. I was able to order the upgrade from Firestick. This is an awesome upgrade it is called the
fireup-99 it has a screw at the top that allows you to adjust for your SWR. This is a really neat
product. My Swr is about 1.1 al the way through. For a mobile I have a Midland 40 Channel With a
cheap sparkomatic Antenna. The SWR on this is about 1.3 to 1.6 all the way through. Neither are
very fance rigs but they get the job done.
