It makes me understand the on air D-bags even less though. What gratification comes from being a dick?

The ones on AM-19 Skip with their Amateur Rigs & Amps are being “paid”. Compensated. You’ll hear them screwing over 19 (7) days/week.

It’s their job. I’ve heard some admit as much as they are none of them very bright.

Ever wonder who always has a 33% discount code to buy at Amazon or elsewhere?. Part of how they get paid once recruited and placed on SSI/Disability. Free Internet & Cell. You didn’t think the invading army was alone in strip-mining the welfare system did you?

The system rigged against us has “influencers”.

In turn it encourages the local aholes. That’s the whole point. Ruin comms by dissuasion.

DuckDik in the Desert HardDrive 163 leads the crew out of Florida & PA. Always complaining about him. Then he riles up those window-lickers again (Rinse, Repeat). It’s a game. Theater. He’s supervisor. Can’t sell radios any more as his golden screwdriver no longer works.

Clarity is the way through for us.
Not being discouraged is the other.

I like to ask the local a-wipes, “Hey, man, what’s your name? What’s your home address?” REPEAT. (And not let up). “Why aren’t you trying to make friends?”

Read up on fox-hunting. Remind them that they aren’t hard to find.

I’ve also heard these blowhards talk about their guns + 24/7 camera and alarm systems. Born cowards. They know the posse will be coming someday as men aren’t going to tolerate these direct threats to safe travel on behalf of or with family.

The gloves gonna come off at some point.
Chasing the Devils Herd

The ones who still live in TV-land can’t deal with AM-19 today. But they still need comms not mediated by Big Brother. Still need RADIO to get around if times get REAL hard.

For them it’s the reminder that seatbelts, guns and CB don’t matter till they do.

Encouraging others would be my only point in all that I post. Men deal with other men as equals.

The ones want to be told what to do are in line to get the sixth booster shot.

Thx for that report as it mirrors my experience and that of others.

Being on-road is hard enough.

And dealing with problems at home is a burden made easier by local comms with neighbors seeing the same problems.

This is why Citizen Band exists.

These guys have to run logs. They record their on-air activity. All of it. Post vids to Utube and elsewhere as others also have to keep up.

They’re data collectors, too. Your “electronic signature” so to speak, of your radio rig, approximate location, signal strength, etc.

Skeered? Fomenting fear is all they have.

Who knows what else they get free or at discount “helps” them stay focused? Dissociated from friends & family.


Related, there are now all sorts of networks across this country. Cambodian donuts. Vietnamese nail salons. Paki C-stores. Mexican restaurants. Chinese take-out. Indian truck stops. With all sorts of business on the road hard to fathom if still living in FOX NEWS land.

Stay alert on-road is THE POINT

California Legalized Drugs. Cartels Took It Over.

Six years after California legalized marijuana, the bodies keep piling up. Earlier this year, six men were murdered in the Mojave Desert. Four of the men had been burned after being shot with rifles. In 2020, seven people were killed at an illegal pot

Threat Level: Green? Orange? Red?

No time to run home and put on tacticool underwear.

With this sort of AWARENESS one wants best audio reproduction. As he raises the level of discourse in his area and more join in, the more likely are “discrepancies” to be noted by him and others.

Pattern Recognition.

Speaker Mount Aimed at Left Ear, Bubba.

Men don’t have words to fit the weird and the unknown. But sure as S)6$ stinks they got feelings about it

Intuition (Psychic ability, call it what you want).

Gut feeling. You’ll know how to assess those verbal cues in the way they’ve spoken.

DSP + DRX-901 = lever action Winchester vs the old flintlocks the herd continues with.

Speaker Mount Aimed at Left Ear, Bubba

My left ear is about half as good as my right... Lots of unprotected pew pew in my younger years. I won't let a loud fart without hearing protection now, but the damage is done

Okay. But left ear is interpreted by right side of brain. The intuitive side.

What you have going might actually be a form of advantage. That man has a Hodgdon IMR-4895 filter installed.

A Dedicated Ear is kinda f’n cool.

Use your earplugs to keep it in play as you choose mount (right ear). Might be a L-R balance point which maximizes Left Ear ability.

(Fingers crossed).

Can also split audio signal to run speaker and a single-ear headset. Quiet now, Daddy’s got serious work to do.

(This would be where discussion of Scanner & other radio service would enter as audio overwhelm is heightened by loss of 3D depth).

DX-901 Speaker:

DRX-901 speaker thru an ICOM 7100 (?)
DX-656 mic thru several radios.

Last radio is at 15:10 = Anytone Q5
While I prefer electret on a Q5, I love this mic in other applications. No question it sounds excellent, here, if you want NC. It can be modified by removing foam disc layers inside which are over the element.

All audio is via this speaker.

Best example of DRX-901 clarity:

Mount Driver Extreme DRX-901

What we’ve needed as accompaniment to recommending high fidelity audio reproduction is an almost universal speaker mount.

Headrest external speaker mount

You can attach any communications speaker to this mount as long as the mount has a mounting bracket. In most cases the holes with this mount will line up with the holes in the mounting bracket that is attached to your speaker, but they may not. If that is the case you would need to drill holes...

The OP, @jcrmadden, cobbled up his own version using a DRX-901; subject to paint & polish:

I finally did my Tram 3500 CB MAX range test

I liked the coincidence that I was just a few hours ahead of this post examining my Dodge pickup for clearance needed this location.


As noted in other posts, speaker location which feeds left ear is science-bolstered. A good number of big trucks have built-in speakers set this way.


The U980 radio install done recently with a fellow truck driver in his Freightliner had the speaker mounted about this close above left shoulder. I asked him after several weeks of use, was it too close? His reply was that it was easier to set volume and that wind noise had less effect (past benefit that no other sound source emanates from that area); he found it ideal.

That’s what my million-miles type experience agrees whole-heartedly. Other locations lose the vitality found in face-to-face conversation. .

NRC radio plus a Hi-Fi speaker in correct mount location all make the work of using Citizen Band easier.

There’s an intuitive aspect to each of those components which has to be experienced. When combined, the sum of the equation exceeds the values added.

This is Mobile High Performance Citizen Band.
