Keeping CB History alive. | Since 1959, when the Class "D" Citizen Band was allocated, the evolution of CB has gone through many changes. Built in the USA, tube radios were expensive, yet simple. With only 23 Channels controlled by using a number of crystals, these early radios provided a hobby for some, and an emergency back up communication system to many U.S. citizens. As technology improved, and the cost reduced, the CB grew into a booming industry. CB radio has developed into a low cost, and still effective, means of communication that has survived for 50 years. With the introduction of cellular phones the CB industry has slowly been disappearing. With many truck drivers still using CB's, the industry has adapted to the changes in mobile radios, but has been phasing out base stations as the demand for them has drastically decreased. I have made it my goal to keep many of the older 40 channel base stations from disappearing from this vital communications link. I have concentrated my efforts in repairing the Cobra 2000 GTL and its little brother the Cobra 142 GTL. I specialize in these MB 8719 Chassis' as well as many of the base stations out there that can be restored and kept in service for future generations. Return to Trust me Return to Home page |
