Radio Discussion Community

Rite, i've decided to smash the piggy bank and get a brand new rig etc to go in my new work horse. Been doin a bit of reseach bout whats available at the mo and found out that Albrecht are making multi-band CBs. Quite fancing the AE 6890 for 2 reasons, it has remote a remote head feature, which means i could mount the actual workings of the radio further away from all the computers and electronics in the fendt cab, and it has CTCSS tone squelch thingy. Just wondered if anyone had any experience with these rigs, or am i wasting my money???????

personal choice the ctcss only works with another set useing the same tone control so looks good but dosent do a lot bit like colin realy still if you fancy it go for it the remote head wont help if you have interferance realy

Only get a rig with CTCSS if all the people you want to chat to have it too.........they're ideal for groups of farmers/workers or whatever who want to be 'private'. Hope this helps!

its not private only means the squelch will open on recieving the tone but other peops will still be able to hear you

a few of us who work in a simular area were goina try them. Not really sure what to do, but in the mean while my York 863 has gone to the doctors for a check up 8) ........ Any ideas on Ariels? Does anyone else run Fendts and manage to get a real good setup??????

I've seen them with wilson 1000's fixed somewhere near the flashing beacon and they seem to work very well,not so good if you have lots of low branches or buildings

YUP THE WILSON IS THE BEST ANTENNA

yep very true stampman and well worth the money
