Title: Turnkey CB 'Beacon' Found on Craigslist - CB Wizard
Post by: KandiKlover on September 18, 2023, 2248 UTC

Anyone ever hear one of these on the air when they do roadworks in your area? Basically a Talking House AM Transmitter in the 27 MHz range.

That's an interesting radio. I've never heard one on the air (or even heard of it before).

Found some info on it:

I would love to get my hands on this, I have a crazy idea.

I'm sure I'm a day late and a dollar short  :'(
