When will Ranger or someone make a SERIOUS CB? One with real IF stage DSP or even digital SSB! Sure I got a ham rig with DSP but there is nothing like a CB base or mobile MADE and OPTIMIZED for CB with serious features including high-level AM. I like having separate radios. Ahhh, remember Stoner? It's a tough business but many of us are willing to buy, just price it right (not like the over priced "10/11 meter" radios). |

Great idea Joe but what you are asking for would just drive the price up all the more on the already overpriced 10/11 meter radios.
And another way to look at it, most CBers are sadly only A-M'ers anyways. Most of them wouldn't have a clue how to use an adjustable DSP filter. And most don't even know what the letters D-S-P stand for let alone what the filter could do for them on SSB.
Stoner was way ahead of the field when it came to thought, design and engineering . Too bad very few people really understood what his radio was all about. What a waist of great technological advancement and design. He WAS "The Man".
Just my opinions.

Take a look at the SSB equipment from SGC. SGC is what Stoner became. |

Ok, why not use a car stereo equalizer and bring the voice range up and noise level down. Its what I used on my sliptrox's due to a weak noise blanker. Works on CB's too. Radio shack made a cheap and I do mean cheap dsp once but have yet to see one reasonably priced. |

Stoner was a radio way ahead of its time.
The next one I come across (working or not) will be a keeper.

Don STONER ?
Common now DON STONER ?
Ill bet Jeff 99% of the cbers dont know who he was ...... your right the man! He published how to BUILD your own cb sets in the late 50's ! Sure they were rushboxes with choke modulars and one tube transmitters .... but so was the heath cb one which COPYED his ideas 2 years after he printed them. Like Ed CLEGG and Bill Hallen he made the public aware of cb and built radios we could afford. Lafette allied and world radio only cashed in ..... the HE-15 and HE-20 were build by contracters and then clones built in japan for the dealers. Allied built kits compeating with stoner and heath as did and world radios .....
I wonder if today even if you could get FCC aproval would a kit even have sold? I still have my HE-15 and my HE-20 from the early 60's they sat in a box for over 30 years untill i took them out one day and got both working one day i going to restore them ...... |
