    How about a section that shows / tells all new to cb people whats what. Like low drive, high drive, pills, SWR ect. I know I for one have a lot to learn. I don't know what half the shit is y'all are saying half the time! Specifically when it comes to amps and such.

    That's a right smart idea you got there Stang. We could definetly use something like that. I don't know much that I can contribute myself but will help where I can. Would make a great reference tool/page.

    i think there should be a dedicated help section , where the 'wise old coots' can drop bombs of knowledge on whoever needs it. i know this type of thing winds up playing itself out in the general discussion section where its somewhat hidden . why not give everyone an obvious place to ask for help ? sounds to me like a good companion for the reference / tool section . idk its just an idea

    How about sellers advising when items are sold so the thread can be closed off. This way people such as myself
    are not annoying anyone.
    I trust everyone, its the devil inside them I don't trust.

    I'm not familiar with the "pill" term either. I know the hardware inside and out but have been idle on CB for 20 years.

    No because 23 channel is a thing of the past. There is so much action from 24-40 why bother with 23 channel anymore as far as radio's. Vintage is still great with Mic's and Amps.
