My first but far from last radio. Got me going on a great hobby with over 50 radios (mostly ham) in my collection, and they all work.

Mine was a realistic navaho trc 431 with extra channels added when you pushed in the p.a button.Pops picked it up at a yard sale for me in the mid to late eighties.Wish i still had it,always got good signal reports,always in the red lol.

 

[teufler]

had a Tram Corsair. Best noise and alternator filter I ever heard. 23 channel, double sideband, collins mechanical filter. Traded it in for first nobile ham radio, Kenwood 7400. Still have the Kernwood and it still works., and has never been in a shop for repairs.

Hy-Gain Hy-Range III

 

[RFI-EMI-GUY]

Lafayette HB-555 followed by a Lafayette COMSTAT 25A with Turner Plus 2 mike and ground-plane antenna.

I worked some mighty skip back in the day. (Early 70's) Also I am 99.999% certain I heard Johnny Cash operating a CB working skip from "the mountains of Jamaica". This was reinforced decades later when I read that he indeed had a Villa in Jamaica,

 

[TexScan780D]

It was a Radio Shack, very nice CB which came with bells and whistles.

 

[puzzleriddle]

a 23 Ch tube type in the mid to late '70s I think

 

[n2pqq]

I had a Courier Royale .

For a trip down CB memory lane take a look at this site.

Thanks for reminding me! Yes I had one of those C100's at the very first! I remember tuning the regen receiver with a tuning stick to hear all sorts of conversations!
