I assume that someone purchased the rights to make these. Some did purchase the rights to make the expander 500 in Europe. I am surprised no one has purchased the right to make the +2 or +3 here in the states. They both have demand. Vinnie S. |

Telex/Turner still produces "2 way" radio devices for Public Service - at least according to their Web Site. They also have a spot there for the "CB mics" - although - little information. Between your info and some others I dug up online - I was ok. Looking in one of my trade magazines, I didn't see any Telex/Turner ads. Most places around here - use mostly Motorola stuff. As to "demand" - I guess it depends on who shares that opinion. I'm not saying you're wrong - but, for example - here - the CB craze has pretty much died. The "few" CBs heard now - are mainly from truckers on the Interstate not far from here, local hauling companies, "skip", trucks coming into the local factory and the guards to direct them. The "few" I know of - on CB - are using the upper channels for the most part - "above" 40. Yeah, that RK 56 was all screwed up. I took it completely apart and started over. Once I got that done - then I started to play with it and though I did originally have the mic wired properly to the set - it wasn't working. Without the wiring scheme for the radio - I was starting to second guess myself and too - the switch being flaky didn't help. Your info "confirmed" the wiring to the set. |

I look on ebay for demand. People are still paying money for old beat up mics. Some are even paying upwards of $100 for D104s. There isn't a major demand as far as mass production. But I am sure some outfit could produce them in smaller quanities as some other gear is made. Vinnie S. |

I bought a box full of CB stuff about a year or so ago off a lady I had known for a while - who was getting out it. She had a couple D104s in there. I can't recall which ones now exactly - I think one was amplified - one not, I can't recall now. I think I got like $40 a piece for them. I do notice - when I bother to look - that the D104s do seem to be asked for. Personally, I've never been a fan of them - as a CBer from years gone by - or a ham. They work ok - but to me - just too damned awkward. Oh well - there's nothing wrong with - recycling. |

The problem is the element or the contacts. Neither is available. Vinnie S. |

Have you tried one of them - yet? |

Works good. I was lookign for a +3. The +3 has amp and compression. The SSK on;t has an amp, and is tuned for SSB. I do most my CBing on AM. When I am SSBing, it's usually with my icom on 10-20-75 meters. But Keep me in mind for other equipment. Vinnie S. |
