FOUND;- The guy that outbid you on that CB on ebay!

This is SHELF #1 at YETICOM CB RADIO MUSEUM in New Zealand!!   I dont know how many more shelves of CB Radios he has, but I would not be surprised if it is close to Twenty! With CPI BC2000 Bases, Stoner Pro 40’s, TRAM’s of all models, Computerised Robyn’s SBE’s and ARF 2000’s majority in working order, this collection is WorldClass! Had noticed the name over the years but had never been to his website before, and it is absolutely amazing the vast number of rare and top quality CB radios that he has in this collection. I have…

My 1975 Tram D201 & VFO

It is amazing what you see on ebay and think “I always wanted one of those!” Not quite as sophisticated as an amateur radio external VFO but the price in some way compensated.

And I never use AM! I have always operated on SSB, and Channel 35 & 38 mostly in recent years. BUT he was happy to post at a reasonable price to Australia! Fortunately he took my advice to…
