Congratulations on your recent acquisition

Well done.

Well done Glenn  nice to see a old school radio ,it looks in good condition there pretty rare too hope you enjoy it , and I do like that power supply .

Nice one Glenn,

Glad you found the rig you were after.

Looks as though it's in very good condition..

Crikey Glenn, That is some PSU, do the house lights dim when you switch it on 

73's

Graeme.

Would love to get a old home base rig, back in the day i had Harrier and the York base stations, the York was with me until 2002, lost it in a house move, crunched well beyond repair, they sell in my area for 200€ to 300€ way to much, have to sit tight and see if i can one day get to visit family in the Uk and buy one , and hide it in the case from the wife.

hi red fox,  thankfully no the light's dont dim, but i can run 2x ssb/1x 300 watt kicker,/2 fm rig's at same time, the most amps it draws is 38amp's, it is heavy duty, so it can handle a lot,

hi, nubster i was pretty surprised by how nice it is, and no mod's, 

Hi glenn dog, there is plenty of homebase rig's going some better then other's in condition, 

it took over 20 year's to get this rig, and i suppose well worth the wait for it,

Nice radio.

Thank you john123,

i am now just trying to find the mounting bracket for the rig, so i can swop the harvard for the uniden, 
and when i get more time ill create a work space in the room and have everything in one corner,

Hi Glenn,

Looks like you're building up a nice station for yourself.

I'm sure many members here will enjoy seeing how you progress with it all, so feel free to keep us updated.


All the best,
Victor

That’s a beauty. Well done.

thank you Paddy, 

cant wait till i get my President jackson back, , 

plus ive been looking in to the Resources for Students and Trainers course, 


and Foundation Online – Amateur Radio Training,


just need to get web cam to do the online course, and then ill have that as well, 

super looking set up well done

well done glen they are a good base unit and i like your shack the Harvard are a good cybernet radio thats what i am after but to balance the two hobbies

thank you stephen,  i did get the swr/power/modulation meter i was after, should get it today 09/11/2020, 

on saturday 14/11/2020 i will get my other family of rig's back, that i gave to have a little tune up, so i will take a pic of the whole family, all in working order,

ok as promised i thought i would up load most of my rig family, a few rig's are still away, like my yaesu 707, amstrad 901, and another midland, 
don't get to jealous of my rig's, hehe, 

Gone are the days where i get a kick from owning many radios (i too had a radio problem ) but it still gives me pleasure to see someone else`s set up grow so keep enjoying your hobby and its great to see some old radios still getting used...

Nice collection of radios, Glenn.

I use to be like that Glenn lots of radios ,then ya realised I can use one at a time and the others are gathering dust LOL so I've stuck to owning two radios and even with that I normally only use one out of two regular, but your getting a nice collection going

Thank you everyone,  i did buy a new handheld the alba cb h2, the person i bought it of, said the rubber duck that slides over the telescopic was permanent, (obviously didnt know me lol ) soon after getting the rig, and the lies on ebay that thats all that was to inform you of,  i quickly found that the case was superglued together  major downer right there, but again obviously didnt know me heheh, 

i managed to get the case open very carefully and did not damage the case, i then set about getting that stuppid stud of the telescopic aerial, once i got the aerial and rubber duck and stud of the telescopic, i looked at the aerial and apart from a few scratches where i tried to get the fixed items on it off, i extended the aerial to find it was a minter, perfect except the scratches,

i then set about making sure (while the back was off) visual look only that none of the cam's/carbon's was damaged, just in case mister screwdriver lets fix a rubber duck permanently to telescopic, had messed with it,  found they was ok and no damage, 

so now on to the best bit, i am in a bad area for getting out, so i got hold of a friend who lives about 1/2 a mile away to go on 14, as thats what we use as 19 is full of gobby mouthed cant hold a convo with out swearing idiot's, 

he was going in to town which is about 1 mile and 1/2, and he got me all the way while i sat on the couch, i was well chuffed,  it did better then my midland 42 handheld's, so i have now ordered the power lead to put it on 12 volts from my euro 50amp, and a so239 female to 3.mm mono plug to fit in the extended aerial socket, and if the handheld is doing about 2 watt's to 3 watt's ill be happy, 

( And so end's the story of the alba cb h2 journey from a nutty i know it all idiot, to a very good and wise hermit in the outback's of the uk,  lol  

Hi everyone, i bought an external mic for the handheld ,,, a new update i bought 2x new rig's,  a communicator's NI440 DX in very good condition with original mic,  and a realistic TRC-1007 by Tandy handheld also in near mint condition,  both tested and fully working, 

Some fantastic kit there, I especially like the Uniden 300, I think it's one of the best looking Home Base's.


I have to admit I have a soft spot for old or "Classic" CB's from the early days too, not just because they were designed to look good, but because of the fun we all had at the time when this technology was released.


You have a great collection there, but that Uniden 300 is a real corker..

Nice one Glenn , I haven't seen radios like that for quite a while, they look in good condition too, I'm more in to my old school radios (pre legal) stuff but nice to see old time legal ones.

Hi Nubster thank you, i know i cant use all the rig's at once, it just makes me feel good to have them, 

i did buy a couple of cool echo chamber's for my rig's,  the ES-880  and the EC-990 with 2x roger bleep's, 

i had fun with a friend making him think i was someone else, until he realised it was me and the game was up,  

lately we have been having a lot of electric interference up our way, so  convo's have been difficult at time's, 

i also bought some bit's to connect different rig's to my aerial, phono-so239, 

there is on tool i cannot work out its name or where to buy it,  so ill draw it and see if anyone knows where to find it,


:::[[[[[[[[----  the tool is plastic in the middle it has a copper looking rod that run's right through, one end is fat and the other end is thin,  its for tuning cam's inside rig's, for the very small carbon's
