What kind of radio do you have in your truck?

[Hat Rak]

This is partially a continuance to RadioRay's DAC Board posting about the 10 Meter Band and Export Radios. The poll is to survey how many of us have radios of this nature or even operate out of band. Don't be shy!

What kind of radio do you run in your truck?

A beeg one. Wif lots of beeg channels. I trying to contact Radeeo Ray, dee Radeeo god. So far, no luck. Me teenks 'es a myth. :wink:

[TruckerChris]

I have a Cobra 200 all "done" up but I'm selling it because it's a hassle to hardwire it to the battery. Next up is an RCI 2950

[Hat Rak]

Looks like a nice Ranger you're looking at. The one thing it doesn't cover on 10 Meters is the FM subband above 29,700 kHz. I'm using a Yaesu FT-857D to cover the ham bands from 160 Meters through 6 M (been hearing listening mostly to 40M and 20M). The 2 Galaxy's, one on 19, the other on 38 LSB, I have are hardly even turned up, just at the threshold of hearing in case I hear the keywords "smokey," "brakecheck," or "chickencoops."

Ah yes the FT-857D great mobile radio beats the crap out of the Icom 706 MK II....

None of the above; I'm a cheapskate.

I just use two tin cans with a long string between them. Cheap, but offers very poor reception!!

[Twilight Flyer]

Shoot. Why spring for the bean cans and string? Just yell. ;)

tin cans are not authorized for use by amateur radio operators. you will be getting a letter from the fcc and a huge fine, you will also have your cans confiscated and subject your company to a fine, all this, just because you didnt bother to get a tin can license. moral.. GET A TIN CAN LICENSE OR STAY OFF THE TIN CAN FREQUENCY!!!!

[Malaki86]

I don't have any of the above. I have a Galaxy 949 that is pushed beyond stock. However, I stay on chan 19. Of course, the thing is normally turned down all the way so I can listen to my Opie & Anthony/Ron & Fez throughout the day without interruption.

[Ridge Runner]

I just project my thoughts to other drivers ( Coast To Coast ). Do I need a license for that? :lol:

[Drew10]

Stock Uniden PC78 Elite, backlite....Only used to fill the square hole Freightliner put in the overhead. Satillite radio is on most all the time.

CB comes on when I come up to a backup. Then say "WHY WE STOPPIN".

typical truck driver. just wont play by the rules! when you are in prison surrounded by murderers and rapists and other such people who wont associate with a low life tincanner, we will see who is laughing then.

I have a shoebox with a wire coat hanger in te center of the top. Best receive and transmit in the cb world.

So far I still have a cheapass Cobra 19 that was in the truck when I got in it. I keep meaning to buy a real radio, but the Cobra 19 does the job, and I'm a cheap bastard when you get down to it.

The white noise is starting to drive me nuts though. I keep hearing things in the background radiation of random noise, and I've had to change the ringtone on my phone five times in four months to counteract this problem. I really need to quit being such a cheapskate and pry open my wallet to buy a real radio with a noise cancellation filter on it.

If it has big finals and puts out 192 terawatts, all the better, but I really can't bring myself to care about this, as much as I want to be a real supertrucker.

I have a Cobra29. This thang got too much echo in it? :P

What I really want, is a Connex 4600. :P

Cool, good to hear you're getting a good skip with it. Yea, it scares me when I'm side by side with another truck and the needle is slamming +60 over S9. Makes me jump right out of my seat! :lol: Be safe out there and enjoy the heat.

[markthetrucker]

RCI 2970 Bad ***** radio with co-phased wilson 2000's and rewired entire system! talked straight line over 60 miles in Arizona one night. Skip is crazy distance from Chicago to all southern states, Seattle to SF and El Paso!

[Double L]

As of right now I got a Cobra 29 with a bargan air cooled antenna I think it is. That is going in my pick up but I'd like to eventually get two Galaxy 33's and two Wilson 2000's. One for the pick up and the other for my rig whenever I get my CDL and a job driving this summer!

[Useless]

Actually, I don't need a radio; the voices in my head can hear me just fine without one, and God gives me the bear reports.
