I never had any problems preRiley. QRO and use a real receiver.

Strap softly and turn up the wick.

BHV needs to be tamed.

That's what they make tasers for.  Walk past closely at Deerfield, reach out and touch him, have a cup of coffee while he does the Worm. Grin

A lot of hoopla over nothing, as usual. All the doom and gloom we heard about removing the CW requirement amounted to nothing. Expanding the phone bands in place of the disused CW sub bands has brought more activity, not less - and certainly hasn't caused the chaos we were all threatened with.

Enforcement of commercial services involving potential life and death situations as well as financial concerns will be enough to keep a cash-strapped gov't bureaucracy like the FCC entertained. Those who insist on drawing attention to themselves (on the air, not here) enough to get noticed will likely end up feeling the hammer dropped on them, as with Riley and before Riley. 

Seems simple enough?

Oh hey now don't belittle the Navaho! I love my 458. A finer CB base for SSB there never was. Mine has a selectable balanced 600 Ohm audio input, a better power supply regulator, an extra I.F stage, a T/R switch output for bypassing an external preamp/RX tuner during TX (helped with selectivity and spatter from those illegals running power on channel 15), and a little fan because the regulator gets too hot anyway. Alas the rig is no longer in use and the controls have all gone scratchy.

Except for the big Browning and Tram rigs of the 60s-70s from Laconia and Winnesquam NH, respectively. Top quality components, lotsa toobs, point-to-point hand wiring, topped off with a Collins 6 kHz mechanical filter. You gots ta hear yer good buddies before you can work 'em.  Wink
