Blast from the Past: Using a CB Radio for the First Time in Decades
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- The last time I used a CB was during the seventies! Let's see what all this Stryker 955 radio has to offer feature-wise, as well as output power levels. It's a pretty large beast, and very cool, with an old-school retro vibe.

Oooooohhhhh, pretty colors...I want one. Thanks for the great overview Jim!
That's pretty sweet!
Like Ape said you need some caps and a peak and tune lol. Thanks for the look.
neat radio ! I have the Radioddity QT 60 10/11/12 meter radio and has same programming plug. mine program windows 11 just fine with anytone software. same radio. I set my radio all up threw laptop. has CTCSS/DTS . with Digi rig it will do digital modes like FT8/JS8CALL /SSTV . but need to keep power down on digital. 10 and 12 meters been bas the past few days . even 11 meter band. The first thing I did to mine is put ferrite on power cable and Power pole. my SWR protection I set at 3:1 . I think you can set that threw the PC. I got voltage protect as well. I hear that radio on CB. some sound bad. but that the user not the radio. golden screw driver got in side. good clean RF gets you out. I can talk from NY to England on 10/12 meters just fine with my QT60 when band is good. and that around 25/30 watt PEP. I run 50% . same on my 7300. longer battery run time. 73's
I might have to get one for the colors, LOL
Prolific has had not just counterfeit issues but really badly made counterfeit issues for over a decade. I remember boafeng and plain TTL adapters being a problem at least as far back as 2012.

I got a sun tan off my screen when you turned the lights on 😂 Do you have that on when you drive?
You can actually use that cable but you need to update the port settings on Windows 11.
Needs more echooooooooh.
Okay but a lot of radios do 11 meters , that’s a 10 meter radio not a CB .. THATS A GOOD RADIO IT DOES A LOT BUT IT’S NOT A 4 watt CB , BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT
Using that for CB is illegal, the law should allow hams to use the CB bands with all our privileges. The prolific scam should be grounds for banning Windows forever, I have a couple of nice import radios, but the Icom M700Pro is my go to base CB and the Yaesu 891 is great for mobile use.
