Monday

As I blasted across the continent at high speeds. I had it set up for bi-linear use though I didn't have that component. Just stroping and removing limiters gave me a good 40 to 50 miles of range and could stomp other radios when they tried to talk over me, as some guys did to be assholes. Granted, I was going fast, in some cases 50 hours from LA to NYC.

It's a Cobra 29 LTD, best radio I had back then, spared me from possible jail time.
