Hi all.

I have no idea when it comes to CB Radio's so will need abit of help.
I am after one that can be used in a car and possibly one at home too.

If anyone has one for sale, or can give me information on them then Fantastic !

Thanks

Mark

The old cb radio's used the am frequency which they have in america and so were illegal in this country. The modern sets in this country now use the fm frequency and so are legal. So look for a fm unit. A mobile one is fine for home if you have a 12 volt power supply or spare car battery. You need a cb ariel and swr meter. Put the meter in between the two and adjust the tuning on the ariel to get the lowest reading. If you don't do this you will blow the output from transmitting with an untuned ariel. Then pick a nickname (handle) to use. Have a look on ebay, they have a few.

Yeah i have been looking on Ebay, but don't like using it for anything over £10 (Just incase someone decides to not send the item)
I would rather pay cash on collection so i know i get the product / item

Thank you ALOT for the information !!!
You have saved me from blowing the future output

cb + scousers = fun lol

I have one.



Just needs an ariel

Hi wheels could you PM me price please ?

Thanks mate

i have ariel, depending on fittings

Hopefully the ariel fits, and wheels sells the CB to me.
Then buy a SWR meter (so i don't blow the thing up)
And away i go !

Thanks Guys !

We should set up a Wiki - Frequency ?

I have a Cobra good as new. Make me an offer

Could you Upload a picture ?
And does it come with everything ?

Is it better then the one wheels is offering ?

I have no idea about these, so will go off what others think it is worth

Sorry if thats hassle for you.
But if i like it and the price is right i WILL buy it.

The CB is at my mothers house at the moment as i moved out a while back it is a Cobra 148 and it it isn't just a basic 40 channel CB, this one you can speak to people around the world.
The mic that comes with it has a roger bleep with the tone that most cobra CBs make.

There is one on ebay at the moment in a bid at £51.01 with 2 days left so ile take £40

If it's "legal" then i will have it !

What voltage is it (so i know if i can use it in a car)
And does it come with an ariel ?

It sounds cheap to me.
But hopefully someone with abit more know how can help my decision

No it doesn't come with a aerial as i have the aerial on the side of my mothers house which is a sirio 827 aerial but if you wanted that then you would need to get someone to take it down as it is massive.

Not sure on the voltage maybe someone on here will know.

Okays mate

Is the Cobra FM ?
Or AM ?

And how much would it be with the ariel ?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks again
Mark

The aerial is £89.95 on this site so i would take £25, but i do need to say again it is massive massive lol, with ground planes.

The CB has FM, AM, USB, LSB, and others im not sure of.

Okay Thank you

One final question

When can i buy it from you ?
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions

I would need to pick it up from my mums but if you wanted to take the aerial down from the side of the house then you could pick it up from there at the same time. You could also have the T&K brackets if you needed them.

You may need two people to take it down and definitely ladders.

Can you PM your phone number and i will try ring you tomorrow and organise everything then.

Thanks

Ok will do, no probs.

PM sent.

If you want everything including coax aerial and cb and power pack then you can have everything for £50

I just PM'd you WonderBoy !

but incase you didn't get it or don't see it:

Sorry i didn't reply to you quickly i have been ill the past few days and even the sight of a dull energy saving light bulb has hurt my eyes and head.
I'm on the mend now but feel abit "Iffy" so want to give it afew days before i go out.

If you want to sell it on, please feel free.
But if you still have it for when i am all fit and healthy then happy days as i will certainly still have everything.

Sorry and thanks for your patience

Hi is this still for sale

Victor_Meldrew do you still have this or anybody else have somthing similiar thanks.

Yeah still got it.

sweet, Will take this off you if thats cool bud.


Will drop you a pm bt your pm is full bud.

Have you used a Cobra before m8?
Also do you want the Sirio as well?

Hi guys.
Sorry i'm gonna have to let this go as i have found a hole in my boot floor that needs welding up
Yes more money gone

swift i know you have taken the CB but when would it be possible for you to take this aerial down bud? Still will need 2 correct size U-Bolts before anything is done for safety.

Not sure what to do here.

Ive sold the CB and aerial and he has taken the CB and paid for both. But he was having trouble removing the aerial from the house safely and now one of the U bolts have broken when they tried to remove it and it isn't 100% secure on the house now and don't want to leave it there in case the winds get worse.

Anyone know what i should do.

Give him a warning that you are about to use a hacksaw/angle grinder to remove it, if he ignores the warning then I can help you take it down - damage to "his" aerial will be on his head - as you say, it is in a dangerous situation and cannot be left.

Thanks so much mate, its really high and on two scaffolding poles.
The thing is when he tried to take it down a U-Bolt snapped but if the other snaps then the whole thing will just smash down and take people fences with it.I think ile have to buy 2 new ones so i can slide the poles down so i can dismantle it.

Its such a nightmare im sorry i put it up now.

What diameter pole is it 2" or smaller? I might have some u-bolts for temporary fix. If you rope it instead of the U-bolts then it can act as an automatic brake which is quite handy for lowering.

I have some longish ladders if need be, think they are about 23ft.

Im not 100% ile have to double check next time i go to my mums, its on my mums house on the Noctorum.

Its so high its a nightmare.
Are you free this week at all?

that aerial stil bothering you? if you want to give it away ill take it down for free

U got a pic of it hanging off? That was a good deal for 50 quid.

ive got a antron 99 for sale ere

how much you after for the antron mate

is this antron 99 still for sale?
