Re: After a number of years ... Finally finalized CB Radio and Amp
This one? Mine has the same catalog number but is completely different.

A great mic in its day.
''Realistic Preamplified Noise Cancelling Microphone'' All black.
I may have the TRC421 around somewhere, but I took all that stuff off in 2002, when I did an engine swap, and put a new floormat in the cab, and took out all the old JC Whitney accessories I'd accumulated since the '70s.
In '95, I bought a '71 GMC Jimmy and bought a new Radio Shack SSB CB rig for it. But as cell phones came in about then, I never installed it. I tried it briefly, about 5 years ago in my '92 Subaru with a mag mount antenna on the rear deck, but it was not magnificent. Radio works good, but "There's no intelligent life on that Planet'' to quote Mr Spock.
