Speaking of CB radio, when I think about the imbeciles that work at Ratshack & their ignorance of the hobby I must admit that it is only a sign of the times but I once remember a time in the 60's when the elitist at Barry Electronics on Canal Street in lower Manhattan would cater to the 3 piece suit crowd & leave the rest of us hobbiest standing in the doorway but the worst case of lying was when a friend & I bought 2 CB walkie talkies from Grand Central Radio located a block from GCT & when I asked him how far we could communicate with each other & he said "5 MILE CLEAR", of course when my friend & I tried talking to each other outside the store the maximum distance was 1/2 block, lo & behold when we returned wanting a refund he told us that they cannot by law take back FCC licensed CB radios, "5 MILE CLEAR" go figure.
