Today I broke down & bought the glitzy but bereft of SSB capability Cobra 29LX which my grandpa said he wouldn't throw through the front window of the local tax collector's office because real CB radios shouldn't look like boom boxes & worse it doesn't have SSB capability which if a man doesn't have SSB capability on his CB radio then well, I'll leave what else he said with him, no matter what he said he's still my grandpa & I get a pass since I'm no guy & I do have other SSB capable CB radios, I think my mom & dad may let me put it in our living room wall unit unlike the one my grandpa installed on our kitchen counter which really got my mom & dads goat & actually it's still there but behind a toaster oven which everybody finally agreed to, even grandpa.
Oh boy, I forgot to talk about the channel 6 craziness, sorry, the 29LX was the first CB radio that I ever really scanned the channels on & it locked up on channel 6 which even I know is nonstop chatter but I really tried to understand what those guys were saying & it seems all they do is call the same 5 guys constantly all day saying 12 gauge in Baltimore this is Hooter in Philly or some such stuff then bye bye bye yet 5 minutes later they are back saying the exact same stuff like they're reading from a script, I actually had enough time between errands & chores to really take this all in & it sounds like one big crazy tape loop, yada yada yada.
