Loved the old Lafayette line, had both the base, the SSB 25 and the mobile SSB 50. Started on 16 LSB and then to 27.325 before it was channel 32.

The potty mouths is the reason a lot of people got away from Cb! There has to be some less than intelligent people in every crowd. We have some locals that use channel 17 and if they took curses out of the English language there would be some that couldn't talk. And I'm no saint but I keep it in my garage. LOL
Still active in Ontario Canada, probably 50/50 split CB operator and Ham Operators on 11meters but not near as many operators 10 years ago, maybe more will transmit as solar cycle 25 will be starting up.
CB is pretty dead here in NZ but there is still a few around , and then there is the skip to the USA and Hawaii and Aussi of course.... it's always worth it to have a CB radio laying around for those SHTF times ...... CB radio is not dead..... it's just sleeping lol

I just recapped my old Realistic TRC422a and she is getting out real well with w lil'will mag mount. I used to run with it back when I was on the road in the 80's and 90's. There is still some out there using them. I'm in the hunt for a ssb base unit now. Looking for a Navaho if possible.
Nice! I still have my Realistic TRC 424 from the 70's that still works but wanted a SSB ,so I understand what your saying. I am rarely on AM now.
