@richee2000 thank you for confirming. I'm in Hazlet, don't really hear much these days. Many (if not all) local municipalities went to the Monmouth County trunked system (can't monitor police as they're encrypted) or NJICS (even those law talk groups are encrypted). Not much to listen to...

@kd2pm so in essence if someone resides in northern Monmouth County (me) and wanted to monitor NJICS, essentially, I can only hear the TGs located in Monmouth County, and any other sites that have full state coverage? Any other site, TG, etc. that's out of "range" is dead silent where I live...

@prcguy - With respect to the second issue you see, would it matter if the orientation changed from horizontal to vertical (while keeping the height off the ground the same @ ~9'?

So out of boredom, I put together a hamstick dipole (more so a CB antenna dipole but haven't seen anyone use that term, so It's a Hamstick dipole for this conversation), and mounted it up in the backyard on an extendable fiberglass painter's pole so the antennas are approx 9' off ground. They...

I guess out of curiosity, anyone know why Channel 38 LSB been chosen as the "defacto" calling channel for DX contacts on CB? I mean, it just seems people call out, make a contact, and then continue to call out for additional contacts on same frequency (causing pile ups when the bands are open)...

Check you tube for Snake Radio Customs. Get his contact info. Reach out to him and see if he will assist. If he won't, your best bet is to just buy an external amp and have that as your set up. Is it legal? No, but so is doing 70 mph on a highway with a speed limit of 55.... Search...

Mikes Radio Repair, I believe has gone silent. He was very good and hooked me up real well on a 980. You can check out his older videos on You Tube. Also check out Snake Radio Customs (via YouTube). I believe his contact info is on his channel. Some people don't like him or his work, but I...

Try this hamstick dipole configuration used as a base set up. Uses two antennas. Do a bit of research on the set up. Works quite well. I've used something similar as a temp set up on an extendable painters pole set up in a patio table umbrella stand and it worked very well set up both...

Thank You Thank you all for your replies and recommendations. Much appreciated!!

Hello folks, want to pick your brains to see if anyone has a recommendation on a wide band mobile antenna. I have an NMO Mount that I'd like to use as the antenna mount. I live in NJ so I'd primarily listen to local VHF/UHF conventional systems, FDNY, as well as trunked systems such as NJ...

Indoor CB Antenna I've never tried this one so I do not know how well it works. I suspect it won't work very well but you can certainly try - https://www.rightchannelradios.com/products/firestik-indoor-cb-base-antenna

Good evening, I have searched the site and I couldn't find an answer to my question so I figured I'd post here. I have the conventional VHF Monmouth County Fire frequencies programmed into my 536HP as well as the Monmouth County Public Safety Trunked sites programmed as well. I live in...

Radio Repair Check out YouTube user "Mikes Radio Repair". You can probably contact him and set up the repair. He's quite good, I sent him a radio and he did a pretty good job on it. Worth a shot if you want to get your radio fixed.

Check out Bells CB Radio. I'm sure you will find what you're looking for there.

I mean c'mob It's also illegal to drive 65 mph in a 55 mph zone but I'm sure most of us do it.

I have the same radio in my '16 Chevy Colorado. Excellent little radio.

HerpegonosyphilAIDS Man, I once knew someone that contracted "HerpegonosyphilAIDS", what a terrible disease...

Yes

Stryker makes good radios nowadays. As does President. The President Lincoln II is a good radio, as is the Stryker 955. Uniden 980 isn't bad either.

Did they confiscate it? What did you do with the scanner once they found it? Assuming they wouldn't let you board with it...
