New President Randy FCC handheld/mobile CB

Who’s gonna be first?

.

The K40-Randynator2 with TNC connection is the first 5/8 Lambda Helix antenna with tune-able SWR.


72cm = 28”. Sort of determines a storage bag to carry Randy so that antennas don’t get lost.

I favor use of zip pouches to separate small items by category, and maybe something like this can be the over-bag where small items are in zip pouches and the radio itself with some type of padded case.

There’s a fair bit of kit for which to account.

(9) items starting with radio. Then additional antennae as conceived, plus, IMO, an inexpensive tac vest to enable hands-free walkabout.


Whatever the transport storage case it should be all-inclusive.



Tac vest example. Under jac-shirt. Use of headset or lapel speaker/mic.



Range matters, as does talk-time.

Example of $7.00 3.5mm female to 2.5mm male adapter to run a speaker from the radio side socket.

I see that the adapter is a TRRS configuration. Is that correct configuration?

Don’t speak that nomenclature, but it’s what works.

Randy takes same headset or speaker/mic pair as Cobra or Kenwood, IIRC.

TR is tip & ring, which would be more accurately tip & sleeve. This is how an earphone is wired.

TRS is tip, ring, sleeve. This is stereo headphones configuration.

TRRS s tip, ring, ring, sleeve. This would be stereo headset, with a microphone.
